Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 16

Matthew held Blanca’s arm. They both stood up and he said that they should head home.

Louise hastily came forward, “No need to hurry, Matthew. I’ve made some nice tea. Why don’t you have some before you go?”

Hearing that, Alan smiled and said, “Well, since Louise has made the tea, let’s not waste it. You can stay for the night anyway. We’ve got plenty of rooms available in our house. And Blanca wants me to draw her a painting. If you stay here, I can finish the painting and give it to her as a gift!”

Alan really liked Blanca for her personality. He thought she was sweet, nice and straightforward. When they were chatting, she didn’t hide the fact that she came from the slum and she told him all the details of her childhood life with her granny.

This reminded Alan of his own struggling youth and his grandmother, and he could not help but like Blanca even more.

Matthew glanced at Blanca, as if waiting for her opinion.

Of course, Blanca didn’t want to stay. Because apart from Mr. Grant, everybody else made her pretty uncomfortable.

But since he mentioned that, she couldn’t say no, and she smirked, “Alright then. We’ll have some tea our sister made for us.”

Hearing Blanca calling her sister, Louise pouted her mouth. She turned away and went straight to the kitchen to prepare tea.

During the preparation, she peeped at the gate. She wondered when Jim would come back. If he wasn’t here, the show couldn’t begin.

The sound of the gate opening intrigued Blanca.

A young man stumbled in, obviously so drunk.

Alan frowned and grunted, “After so many times I’ve told you, you just can’t learn your lessons. Louise, get that bastard a cup of tea to clear his drunk mind.”

Louise said yes in the kitchen.

Carrie comforted Alan quickly, “Dad, please don’t get mad! I’ll take a walk with you if you want to. You don’t need to see him!”
