Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 772

"Don't talk nonsense. You'll be with me for a long time. I was just worried you wouldn't be used to it here after living in Marentis for fifty years."

"Edgar, you're so considerate. For a moment, I thought you were angryI thought you were afraid of upsetting your legal wife."

"Why would I be afraid of upsetting her? If I cared about her, I wouldn't have left with you for Marentis for fifty years."

"Meeting you was the greatest happiness of my life, Edgar."

Daphne then said with feigned difficulty, "Is the missus coming today? The thought of seeing her again after fifty years makes me a little nervous."

"You have no reason to be nervous. And she's not coming today."

"But today is Simon's press conference for becoming president of the Lockwood Group. As the matriarch of the Lockwood family, how could she not come? Does she not like our Simon?"

"It's better that old hag doesn't come, Grandmother. If she's not here, you're the only leading lady. And you're much prettier than she is."

"Simon, you're still so reckless with your words. She is the matriarch of the Lockwood family. You can't speak of her that way."

"Alright, alright. I know my grandmother has a kind heart."

For some reason, Edgar Lockwood felt a knot tightening in his stomach. There was even a flicker of fear. What was he afraid of? Grace Lockwood had Alzheimer's now; she didn't understand anything. Could he still be afraid of her anger?

At that moment, an assistant spoke up. "The inauguration ceremony is starting. The reporters are all in place. It's time for you to make your appearance."

"I'm your grandson too! There's nothing wrong with my background! My grandmother, who has been with you for fifty years, is the rightful Mrs. Lockwood. What's wrong with my background?"

Edgar Lockwood looked at Simon with an expression of utter exasperation, not wanting to speak to him any further.

Daphne then said to Simon, "Simon, your grandfather just wants you to settle in and be the president of the Lockwood Group quietly and steadily. He also doesn't want to upset the missus. So don't stir up any trouble. It's enough for your grandmother to watch you from below the stage."

"The missus? Grandmother, why do you call that old woman 'the missus'?"

"You don't understand the things of the past. I'll find a chance to explain it to you slowly in the future."
