Chapter 278 Complaint

Arthur looked at Julius with a solemn expression and suddenly asked, “So, she told you she’d take you to see her grandmother today?”
“Yes,” Julius nodded and chuckled, his face glowing with happiness.
Arthur indifferently announced, “There’s a technology exhibition here. Come with me.”
Before Julius could protest, Arthur turned on his heel and left the room.
Julius‘ bubble of joy was mercilessly popped, leaving him deflated in an instant.
His eyes grew wide with incredulity as he yelled with
desperation, “Dad, you can’t be serious! Don’t you want me and Mom to have a closer bond?”
Arthur turned his back on the entreaty, leaving the hotel with not even a glance to spare.
Julius stood frozen, his small fists clenching tightly at his sides.
He snorted, “No wonder Mom doesn’t like Dad. He’s absolutely abominable!”
Without a second thought, Julius whipped out his cell phone and called Charlotte, ready to file a formal complaint about his

Charlotte was taken aback and thought, “How could Arthur do something like this?
Well, is there anything he won’t do?”
She sighed inwardly, not wanting to stir up too much conflict with Arthur. In a gentle, soothing voice, she said, “Sweetheart, my grandma will be in the hospital for a few more days. You can

Julius‘ voice took on a more childish, anxious tone. “But what if Dad finds another excuse to stop me from going tomorrow?”
Charlotte replied, “Then you’ll find a way, won’t you? You’re very smart, my love. I’ll be waiting for you at the hospital.”

softened somewhat.
Ava, who had overheard the conversation, let out a heavy sigh, “I really don’t like Arthur. How did you ever fall for him?”
Charlotte was silent for a moment.
She lowered her eyes and softly said, “Grandma, do you believe in love at first sight?”
Ava’s face lit up with a nostalgic smile, “Of course I do! Your grandpa and I fell in love the moment we laid eyes on each other. Back then, society wasn’t as open as it is now. I snuck out to play and bumped into him. He was so handsome, and before we knew it, we were inseparable. There were a lot of twists and turns along the way, but thankfully, we got married and lived happily.”

Her eyes shimmered with both fondness and regret as she spoke about her youth, “Your grandpa didn’t keep his promise, though. He said he’d leave this world after me, but he went first. I was devastated and couldn’t accept it for the longest time.”
Charlotte smiled gently, “Do you remember the time I went out to buy something and came back in a daze? I was in trouble that day, and Arthur suddenly appeared out of nowhere and saved me.”
