Chapter 1547
“Queenie, I didn’t mean to chase you away… Why are you-” Brandon was shocked.
“You don’t have to worry about me. Take good care of my injured sister.” After saying that, Queenie hung up. Now, it would be more peaceful at home and around her. Also, she did not have to watch Bonnie’s act for now.
At the Silverstein Residence.
While Brandon was sitting on the couch and talking on the phone, Bonnie was eavesdropping by the railing on the second floor. After he ended the call, she pretended to come down the stairs and asked, “Dad, where is Queenie? Did she find a place to hide because she’s afraid of getting scolded? I don’t even blame her for anything.”
Sighing, Brandon replied, “She said she’d be staying at a friend’s house for the time being. She’s always been stubborn and she’d hide from us every time we wanted to lecture her. Bonnie, you stay home and recuperate!”
A hint of jealousy flashed across Bonnie’s eyes. Could the friend Queenie was talking about be Nigel? Was she so keen on moving in with him?
Suddenly, Bonnie was secretly frustrated with herself. At first, she thought she could get her parents to scold Queenie and drive them away from each other. Yet, she never expected she would give Queenie another reason to leave home to find Nigel. It was such a careless mistake.
More importantly, Nigel was unlike Leslie. She could not meet him as easily since he had a higher social status.
“Dad, I don’t think Queenie is staying at her friend’s, I think she’s staying at Young Master Nigel’s home! This might ruin her reputation.” She decided to make Queenie come home.
Stunned by her words, Brandon wondered if it might be true. Was his eldest daughter staying at Nigel’s home? It seemed like his daughter had grown up and out of his control.
“Bonnie, it’s inappropriate for me to stick my nose into this matter. Moreover, I believe in Young Master Nigel’s character and I hope he could be my future son–in–law too.” In reality, he was glad to hear about that. Also, he hoped that Queenie was smart enough to know how to capture the heart of a man like Nigel.
“Dad, Leslie dumped me, so you have to find me a better guy next time. I don’t want to marry into a family that is not as good as Queenie.” Then, Bonnie shamelessly ran toward Brandon and held his hand while speaking like a spoiled child.
“Alright, alright. I will introduce you to men with prominent backgrounds if I have the chance. Oh, right. I have an invitation to a banquet on Friday night. I’ll bring you with me.”
