Chapter 476 I Like This One Best
Kisa suddenly understood. ‘No wonder Sharon’s embarrassing story about wetting her pants is all over the Internet.‘
The sky quickly darkened this early winter and was already completely dark by 7.00 p.m. when Gilbert arrived at the Kooper residence. The living room was well–lit. As he walked in quickly, he was relieved to see Madalyn sitting on the couch. He walked over. “Grandma, are you all right?”
Madalyn grunted while holding her cane in her hand. “You are back at last. How long has it been since you have been back to this house? I think that woman has held you spellbound.”
Gilbert had no words when he saw his grandmother so angry. “Grandma, next time you want me to come back, you can tell me directly. Why do you always have to lie that you are sick? It is ominous to curse yourself like this.”
“Tell you directly?” Madalyn was furious at the mention of this. “When have you ever listened whenever I asked you to come back? Would you have come back if I hadn’t cursed myself like that?” As Gilbert loosened his tie and sat down on the couch across from her, Madalyn frowned in distaste. “When will your fashion sense improve? You are the only one who wears a dark red tie with an ink–blue suit. It is awful. Throw that tie away. It has a terrible color.”
Gilbert kneaded his tie and shook his head. “No, I like this one best.”
Madalyn rolled her eyes. “It is really awful. Ask George.”
George giggled. “I–It looks alright, as long as Mr. Kooper likes it.”
Madalyn shook her head in disdain and then stopped dwelling on the tie. She ordered the maid to serve Gilbert a bowl of soup.
Gilbert leaned back leisurely on the couch. “Grandma, did you call me back tonight for something?” Madalyn was agitated again. “Can’t I call you back even if there is nothing? Isn’t this your home?”
