Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 65

“We’ll know once we go in.” Seeing Blanca’s gaze, Matthew took her waist and proceeded forward. Blanca stiffened, and Matthew suddenly bent his head next to her ear, his tones only audible to the two of them. “What are you tensing up for? Falling for me?”

“Please, give me a break.”

“Oh? Then don’t be so stiff, like I’m usually cold to you or something.”

“…” Was he NOT usually cold to her?!

Blanca howled secretly. Matthew was a veritable slave master. Forget the bullying, he was even reminding her of her status at every moment he could.

What, did he think he was hot shit just for being pretty?

If anything, she had to be on guard for him falling for her instead.

With all those thoughts, Matthew brought her in. Inside the bright hall, there was a group gathering. The old man sat next to a lavishly dressed couple. The male of the pair looked to have sat in his position for a long time, with an aura of nobility about him. His belly was a bit bulging, though. He looked to be about fifty. The woman was garbed in so much jewelry and finery that she could have given Carrie a run for her money.

The couple were chatting jovially with the old man, and Blanca suddenly had a bad feeling about all this.

As expected, before she’d even gone inside, she saw someone walk out of the kitchens with fruit, all smiles. “I haven’t come back for so long, Grandpa Grant! And you didn’t even miss me, did you!”

And who was this but Elizabeth Harris in the flesh!?

“Elizabeth, slow down, I can’t catch up…”

Following behind Elizabeth was a grinning Louise. Louise had been grounded and wasn’t supposed to be let out when the time wasn’t here, but since the Harris family was coming to visit, she’d been granted a reprieve.
