Yayoi chuckled softly when Wendy mentioned Maddox's grandfather pretending to be sick and said, "Miss Wendy, no matter what the case is, you have deceived Maddox. It is normal for him to be so angry."
"I know," Wendy said anxiously, "I understand that Maddox should be angry, but Grandpa also knows that he is wrong. They are family, so how can there be any everlasting enmity between them?"
Seeing how anxious she was, Yayoi pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright, I will persuade Maddox to go see his Grandpa."
Seeing that she agreed, Wendy's face was filled with joy as she thanked him gratefully. "Thank you, Miss Song. Thank you...."
"Don't thank me," Yayoi waved her hand and said, "I will try to persuade him, but I can't guarantee anything."
Wendy said, "It's okay. I know Maddox will definitely value your advice."
Yayoi smiled and did not say anything else.
....
When Yayoi told Maddox that Wendy came to meet her, he was shocked. He grabbed her shoulder and asked anxiously, "Did she do anything to you?"
Yayoi said helplessly, "Can you let me finish?"
"Go ahead."
"She just asked me to persuade you to visit Grandpa. I heard that Grandpa can't even eat for a few days."
After saying that, Yayoi looked at him calmly and saw that his expression was obviously uneasy. Then, he relaxed his grip and said indifferently, "That's none of my business."
Although he seemed to be indifferent, Yayoi knew that his grandfather was more important to him than his parents.
Thus, she stepped forward and gently said to him, "Maddox, pretending to be sick was his fault, but he did it for your good. And he does love you very much...."
"Love me?" Maddox interrupted her and turned to look at her with a mocking smile, saying, "He wasn't doing it for my good. He just wanted to satisfy his own selfishness."
Yayoi gently stared at him for a while and said, "Maddox, Grandpa is old. He can't eat for a few days and his body will collapse sooner or later. Are you really willing to see your loved ones hurt?"
Maddox pouted and remained silent.
Seeing this, Yayoi continued, "Grandpa is just a stubborn old man. He is principled, but you can bargain, and there are many things that can be discussed. Grandpa really loves you, and he has seen your determination and attitude. I believe if you go talk to him, he will compromise."
Maddox looked at her earnest expression and asked, "Don't you hate him?"
"I don't hate him. He's your grandfather, and he's also my grandfather. So, I won't hate him." Yayoi smiled.
She could help Wendy to persuade him, and she could also be so generous to say that she did not hate him. She had always been so kind, which was the reason why he loved her so much.
He gently hugged her, stroked her soft hair with his palm, and said softly, "I will go see Grandpa."
Yayoi slowly curved her lips, with her eyes filled with affections.
....
Because of her father's case, Juliet was not in the mood to go to work. She asked her father's colleagues for help but was euphemistically rejected.
She couldn't help but feel that the interpersonal relationships were too weak. When a man was rich and powerful, everyone would curry favor with him. However, when something bad happened to him, no one would come to help.
Juliet was especially irritated as she was rejected again today. She directly grabbed the beer on the bar counter and took a swig of it.
