The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Ethan Seeks Alice (5)

Never mind, I’ve given up. I just hope that my great-grandson won’t be too dumb. If he turns out to be really dumb, he can join the military and rely on physical strength since he lacks intelligence. What else can be done? “Never mind, I’ve given up. Holland sighed, realizing that this time he was destined to lose to James.

“You may look down on my mommy, but she looks down on all of you too.” Caroline pouted angrily.

“Hey, can’t I speak the truth?” When he saw her pouty expression, he wanted to laugh but managed to hold back his laughter. He didn’t want her to be as polite and respectful toward him as before; he preferred her current attitude toward him. So, he intentionally teased her, although deep down he truly felt this

way.

“No, you can’t say anything bad about Mommy.” Suddenly, she had a lightbulb moment. “If you promise not to say anything bad about Mommy from now on, I will consider liking you.” She realized that she didn’t dislike her great-grandfather too much. I can try to like him for the sake of Mommy.

A noticeable smile played on his lips as he readily agreed. “Okay. I promise you.”

In fact, Holland had only criticized Alice that night, and it happened to be overheard by Alice herself. After that, he never said anything like that again. Although he was still somewhat dissatisfied deep down, he still restrained himself most of the time.

At this moment, Marie heaved a sigh of relief. Naturally, she knew what Holland was thinking, so she didn’t intervene and let the two of them banter. Sometimes, such banter was more likely to foster affection.

In the past few days, they had been overly cautious with Caroline, while Caroline had always been polite toward them. However, something seemed to be missing in their interactions. Now, it was much better.

“Caroline, would you like to go upstairs and play with me for a while?” Marie eagerly desired to have a closer relationship with Caroline, but Caroline hadn’t shown much affection toward them earlier. Today, when they were about to leave, they had wanted to invite Caroline along, but she had refused. “I promise never to let Great-Grandpa say anything bad about your mom again.” She was a smart woman and had already grasped Caroline’s intentions.

As Caroline looked at Marie, she blinked and then lowered her voice slightly as she negotiated, “Can he praise Mommy then?”

“Hey, aren’t you asking for too much now? What is there to praise about her? Why don’t you start by telling me what there is to praise about her?” Holland couldn’t hold back and retorted directly.

At his words, Caroline’s little face instantly fell, and when she looked at him, her eyes revealed anger and a sense of grievance.

Meanwhile, Marie glared at Holland. “Can’t you speak nicely?”

“Fine. I’ll do it. I’ll praise her. Okay?” Holland gritted his teeth.
