He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 379

Hearing his tone, Arthur slammed his hand heavily against the table. "You dare ask me that?! Have you forgotten you're married? Your child is this big, and Josie is still staying here with you. Bringing Juniper to your house—you're completely out of line!"

He threw the cup in his hand, letting it shatter right at Nelson's feet.

Lydia, having caught wind of the situation from who knows where, heard the old man was throwing a massive fit and hurried over. The moment she walked in, she started pleading for Nelson. "Grandpa, why are you so angry? Please calm down."

Seeing her, Arthur's expression softened considerably, though he still glared at Nelson with bitter disappointment. "Several members of the Thorne family were at today's meeting. This collaboration involves our partnership with them. If Lydia hadn't mediated, do you think this would have been smoothed over so easily? Lydia loves you and doesn't care how you mess around outside. But what if you let the Thorne family know you brought Juniper here? Nelson, are you trying to make her a target for several prominent families?"

Lydia lowered her head, a faint smile touching her lips. All the grievances she had just suffered here felt entirely avenged.

Did Juniper really think such a clumsy trick could break her?

The Thorne family was backed by several powerful families. They wouldn't be taken down easily.

What Juniper had now was just Nelson's fleeting affection.

But how long could his affection last? Once he realized her presence only brought endless trouble, would he remain devoted?

A man's favor was a vain and fragile thing, but family power was rock solid.

Juniper could never beat her!

Nelson rested one arm on the edge of the sofa. Only after Arthur left did he pull out his phone to call his grandmother.

Lydia sat next to him, her eyes slightly red. "Nelson..."

Only then did Nelson remember someone else was still there. He beckoned a servant over. "Who let her in?"

The servant froze. This was the lady of the house, after all.

Lydia looked awkward. Nelson had indeed ordered her not to be let in that morning. But in the servants' eyes, they were married and had a child. She forced a smile and was about to say something when Nelson dropped a bombshell. "So, no one listened to a single word I said this morning?"
