Chapter 508
Liliana sat in the passenger seat and saw Kenneth still looking at Arabella as their car drove away. She bit her lips in frustration. "Ken, I want to visit Mrs. Sharon. I studied nutrition and can create a meal plan tailored to her needs."
Liliana knew Kenneth loved his grandmother dearly, so she planned to win Mrs. Sharon's favor. She had confidence in her skills as a nutritionist and believed she could improve Mrs. Sharon's appetite and overall health. This would bring her closer to Kenneth.
Kenneth could no longer see Arabella behind them. He turned his gaze back and nodded. "Grandma's appetite has been declining. I was thinking of hiring a professional nutritionist to take care of her. Let me call her first and see if she's open to the idea. If she is, we can go together."
"Alright," Liliana said, smiling obediently.
Kenneth dialed the number, and the melodic ringtone played before Mrs. Sharon answered. Her elderly voice came through, "Hello, Ken."
"Grandma, how's your appetite today? Liliana wants to visit you and create a personalized meal plan. We can come over right now."
Mrs. Sharon paused momentarily on the other end and suddenly asked, "Ken, are you with Liliana now?"
Liliana quickly spoke up, "Yes, Mrs. Sharon. Ken picked me up after school today. We want to come and see you."
Mrs. Sharon hesitated on the other end and declined, "You don't need to come over. I have a good appetite today but feel a bit tired. I'll take a nap. If there's nothing urgent, I'll hang up now."
Mrs. Sharon hung up the phone without waiting for a response.
Liliana's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. Even a fool could tell that Mrs. Sharon was not fond of her. She pouted her red lips in dismay. "Ken, did I do something wrong? Mrs. Sharon hasn't liked me since she came to Hardgrad seven years ago."
Kenneth's deep and narrow eyes flickered with something. His grandmother's behavior was truly unusual. She hung up the phone because he was with Liliana.
If he remembered correctly, his grandmother's greatest wish was for him to marry and have children. Logically, when Liliana appeared by his side, his grandmother should have been overjoyed. Why was she showing such coldness and rejection?
