Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375

After Ambrose left, the butler sighed and tried to persuade Grandma Quinn to calm down. Punishing him like this forever wasn’t a real solution.

“He deserves it!” Grandma Quinn snapped. “That was the first grandchild of our Quinn family, and he just threw it away like that. How am I supposed to calm down?”

Every time she thought of the great–grandchild she had never gotten to meet, her chest hurt so badly she could barely breathe.

But for all her anger, Ambrose was still her grandson. Grandma Quinn’s heart still ached for him too.

‘Have someone make him something to eat,” she said at last. “Send it to him later.”

When the butler brought food over, Ambrose told him to take it back. He said he wasn’t hungry.

The butler could only sigh again. “Young Master, Madam Chen is actually a very good person. Whenever she was home, the old madam was always in a good nood. She treated all of us very well too. When my legs were acting up before, she even found an acupuncture doctor for me.”

How is it that you just couldn’t live properly with her?”

Ambrose’s only response was silence.

No one knew what he was thinking.

n the end, the butler could only sigh and leave.

The moment he got back to the main hall, he heard Grandma Quinn flying into another rage.

Tell her to get out!”

Afraid for the old lady’s health, the butler hurried over to find out what was going on.

Only then did he learn from the servants that Lilith had come to the house.

Go tell her this,” Grandma Quinn said, one hand pressed to her chest, grief and fury in every word. “Unless I’m dead, she is never stepping foot through the uinn family’s front door!”

Alright, alright, I’ll go right now. Please don’t get upset.” The butler quickly soothed her, terrified she might make herself sick again.

ilith had come to the Quinn residence because she still hadn’t been able to reach Ambrose.

After the butler relayed Grandma Quinn’s words, she didn’t dare say much. She only said pitifully, “As long as Ambrose is alright, that’s all that matters.

Even the butler felt sick hearing that.

By the time he returned to the main hall, Ambrose had already come back after serving his time kneeling

de probably knew Lilith had been there, because his expression looked terrible.

Grandma Quinn had just taken her medicine and finally caught her breath. Pointing at Ambrose, she scolded him, “If you ever let that filthy thing come here again and dirty my sight, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

Ambrose only said, “I understand. It’s late. You should get some rest.”

From the look of it, he was planning to head out.

“Stop right there!” Grandma Quinn barked. “You are not going anywhere tonight! Tomorrow morning, you’re coming with me to the hospital to bring my good girl home for breakfast!”

Ambrose paused, then said, “Understood.”

refter he want unstairs did Grandma Quinn say bitterly, “Still thinking about running off to see that little bitch right in front of met Nota chancer

The next morning, at six o’clock sharp, Grandma Quinn was already pounding on Ambrose’s bedroom door.

“Get up! You’re coming with me to the hospital to bring my good girl home for breakfast!”

Normally, Ambrose would definitely have dragged things out for a while. On top of that, he had a terrible temper when he first woke up. Even when Grandma Quinn disturbed his sleep, he would still snap.

irandma Quinn knew that perfectly well, which was exactly why she had gotten up early on purpose to torment him.

fer good girl was still in the hospital. What right did the one at fault have to sleep in?

ust as she raised her hand to pound on the door again, it suddenly opened.

mbrose stood there fully dressed, expressionless. “Let’s go.”

randma Quinn froze for a second.

le could actually get up this early?

he two of them arrived at the hospital at seven–thirty. It was still very early.

ut when Grandma Quinn pushed open Belle’s hospital room door with a heart full of joy, she found that Belle was already gone. Only the cleaning lady emained, tidying up.

mbrose asked at once, “Where’s the patient from this room? Where did she go?”

he cleaner replied, “She was discharged last night.”

What?”

he two of them exclaimed at the same time.

mbrose immediately took out his phone and called Belle.

he only response he got was the cold automated voice telling him the phone was switched off.

ill unwilling to give up, he asked Grandma Quinn to try calling too.

ut the result was the same,

elle had blocked him.

randma Quinn hit him angrily. “See? See what you’ve done? My good girl won’t even answer me now! Give me back my good girl!”

The moment he learned she was safe and sound, he finally let out a breath.

But at the same time, the sense of loss in his chest only deepened.

s Belle put it:

> hell with Ambrose.

> hell with men.

he world was this big and this beautiful. There was absolutely no need to get hung up over one lousy man.

irious, Eliza asked Nicolas how he had found such an amazing place.

colas explained, “This resort is actually one of my investments. I came here before when was inspecting the project, so it left a deep impression.”

"Good eye.”

st as the two of them were about to start talking business again, Belle hurriedly cut them off. “We’re on vacation. No work talk. This seems like an chipelago–are all those islands part of the resort too?”

ome are private islands, some are still under development, and some are uninhabited,” Nicolas said.

rivate islands?” Belle felt like her horizons had just expanded.

he world of the rich was truly beyond imagination.

le still didn’t even own a house of her own, while other people already had entire private islands.

‘hat a cruel world.

Would the universe really collapse if it let her be rich too?

elle had an amazing time on the island where the resort was located.

very day, she basked in the sun, let the warm sea breeze wash over her, watched the sunrise and sunset…

It was bliss.

n the evenings, she would even drag Eliza down to the beach to collect seashells.

This one’s pretty. Ill bring it back for Ophelia later.” Belle held up a beautiful shell excitedly for Eliza to see.

he hotel butler who had brought them shell hunting smiled and said, “Actually, the shells here aren’t the prettiest. The most beautiful ones are over on

verkiss Grove Isle.”

Everkiss Grove Isle? That’s really a place name?” Belle asked.

It wasn’t originally,” the butler explained. “A few years ago, after the owner bought it, he renamed it. It used to be two separate islands, and their shapes looked bit like two kissing fish. After the owner bought them, he connected the parts that looked like the fishes‘ mouths, so now it’s one island. Collectively, it’s called verkiss Grove Isle. The scenery there is also the most beautiful out of all these islands.”
