Cheyenne didn't want to waste any more time with the scumbag couple, so she sweetly stepped forward and took old Mr. Foley's arm. "Grandpa, it's chilly outside. Let's go in."
"Okay, okay! I'm so happy that you came to see me. Come on, I have your favorite mango pudding cake prepared at the party. I had the butler specially make it for you."
Joe, who had been standing behind them all along, gave Cheyenne a faint smile and respectfully bowed his body. "Mrs. Foley, it's been a long time."
Cheyenne nodded her head at him and responded softly, "Uncle Joe, please call me Cheyenne from now on. I'm no longer your lady anymore. Your new lady is next to your young master over there; don't call her by mistake."
Joe remained silent.
Old Mr. Foley listened with regret; it seemed that Kelvin really hurt Cheyenne.
She was someone who knew what she loved and hated; saying this meant that she was kicking her grandson out of her world - not a good sign.
Kelvin coldly looked at Cheyenne with icy eyes as his heart suddenly sank into sharp pain mixed with anger.
He couldn't say anything back.
Emelia brightened up and quickly went over to hold Abbie's hand like sisters do while coquettishly saying, "Abbie, don't be sad! Grandpa is just joking around with you! Come on in together with me! You're Kelvin's sweetheart after all - no one can replace you even if some people have thick skin!"
Her sudden move made Abbie feel confused since Emelia had appeared like an enemy last time they met but now acted like another person entirely different today.
However, her words seemed to please Abbie. The latter was feeling rather awkward and unsure whether to stay or leave, but now she was reluctant to go. Yet staying would be equally uncomfortable, especially since old Mr. Foley didn't seem to welcome her. If Kelvin didn't step in and insist, she might indeed become the clown of this evening's event.
After standing there for several minutes without any sign of action from Kelvin, Abbie began to feel anxious. She had prepared a special gift tonight to please old Mr. Foley, and she believed it would surely amaze everyone and help mend the situation.
Kelvin kept his eyes fixed on Cheyenne, but she showed no reaction whatsoever. Even when she heard Emelia say that Abbie was his sweetheart, she didn't appear surprised at all. She just shrugged as if it didn't matter to her.
He remembered when they first got married, his secretary at the office was a woman and Cheyenne had been jealous for a long time.
Helpless, Kelvin had to replace all the staff in the CEO's office with men.
She was so happy that she made him breakfast with her own hands. He told himself that he did it not because he cared about Cheyenne's feelings, but because male employees were more efficient than female ones.
After pleasing him for three days, Cheyenne gave herself up and resumed her lazy sleeping habits.
However, her domineering attitude of not allowing him to look at other women remained unchanged.
She was indeed heartless. She could truly cut ties completely if she claimed not to care!
Kelvin was too preoccupied with Cheyenne's attitude to notice the changing glances directed at Abbie from the people around.
The future Mrs. Foley, an incredibly prestigious title, was about to change hands. Of course, they needed to curry favor.
