As Elena expected, just less than an hour after Anna left the villa, Grandpa George immediately called Logan. Elena was going to explain, but Logan took the phone and went to the balcony himself.
“Grandpa,” Logan said respectfully.
But Grandpa George was furious, “Are you really respecting me as your grandpa? Our family have been friends with the Lees for generations. But now you are not willing to help Anna and even kicked her out!”
“You want her to stay in my home?” Logan asked calmly.
“Of course, she is our Anna! What is wrong with that?”
“Grandpa...” Logan sighed, “Don’t you know that she is a time bomb here?”
“What the hell are you talking about? Don’t bullshit me. I only ask you for one thing. Get her back, now!” Grandpa George demanded it like a boss.
“Grandpa, my wife and I are living in our home. Why do you want Anna to stay with us?” Logan started to lose his temper.
Grandpa George never thought about this and became silent at once. Obviously, he was caring too much about the relationship between the Browns and the Lees so that he ignored Elena’s feelings. “Elena’s a good girl. You can talk to her and she will get it.”
‘Just talk to her and she will get it? How?’ Logan didn’t want to argue with Grandpa George.
Noticing Logan’s silence, Grandpa George said carefully, “Alright, I won’t ask you to get Anna back to your home. But you have to help her find somewhere to settle. And be absolutely nice to her!”
“I know what to do.” he said coldly. Obviously Logan was pissed off by what Grandpa George said just now.
Grandpa George felt worried and asked, “Anna really bothered Elena? Hurry up! Explain to her for me. It’s not what she thought and I didn’t mean that.”
“She’s fine.”
“Thank God.” Grandpa George was relieved.
But Logan frowned, “Don’t ever do this again.”
“Well, I am you grandfather. And I just simply asked you for one favor...” Grandpa George couldn’t help but start his nagging.
“Well then, I assume that you don’t want Elena and me back to the Brown’s Villa, huh?” Logan said this on purpose since he knew Grandpa George always wanted them back to visit him more often.
As Logan expected, Grandpa George compromised at once, “Alright, as long as you promise to come back more often, I’ll agree to anything you ask for.”
Logan felt better and reminded, “Besides, I don’t want anyone to mention anything about Anna and me again.”
Grandpa George agreed immediately, “Sure, it is all in the past. And now you are married. I won’t talk about the relationship between Anna and you again.”
Seeing Grandpa George starting his nagging, Logan hang up the phone.
As Logan returned, Elena stared at him to read his face but she failed. She asked, “What did Grandpa say?”
“Have a guess?” He came up with an idea.
Elena could tell everything was fine from his tone, so she was at ease. But she didn’t want to be teased by him, either, “I refuse to guess.”
“Grandpa said...” Logan paused on purpose, waiting for her reaction.
