Billionaire ’s Unforgettable First Love novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Ismael's Support

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Nancy got up and walked out of the dining room to look into the living room.

There was no trace of Edison and Gwenyth.

Only two pairs of slippers were left on the foyer floor.

She sat back down sullenly, looking at the salad and pancakes on the table and losing her appetite.

"What's wrong?"

Ismael asked in surprise.

He was getting old and his hearing was not as good as Nancy's. He thought Edison was in the living room.

"Grandpa, Eddie took that woman out."

Ismael immediately became angry and slammed the fork in his hand hard on the table.

Nancy was startled and said quietly, "Grandpa, you're not well. Don't be angry."

"What exactly is this woman's relationship with Eddie?"

Nancy wanted to tell the truth, but she was afraid Ismael wouldn't be able to handle the shock.

She watched Ismael's face carefully, thought for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, how are you feeling now? Are you breathing well? Is it hard for you to breathe?"

"I'm fine, just tell me what you know, I'm not going to go into shock just because of Eddie's affair."

Hearing this, Nancy finally calmed down.

"The woman's name is Gwenyth Lovelace. Eddie paid her to piss me off."

She told the story of how Edison publicly posted the news of their breakup on Instagram, and then hired Gwenyth to provoke her.

"Miss Lovelace must have stayed here last night. She seems very short of money and looks broke. I think she has an inferior motive. She always wants to get into Eddie's bed."

Ismael had tall statues and was an old man. He didn't remember that there was a nutritionist named Ursula who took care of his meals every day. And of course, he didn't remember Ursula's daughter either.

He felt nothing but anger when he heard Nancy's words.

"Eddie is going too far. And you, why did you refuse Eddie's proposal? You know very well that I want you to get married sooner."

Nancy immediately showed a face of resignation with tears in her eyes.

She lowered her head and sobbed in a small voice.

"Grandpa, you know my status. I am an illegitimate daughter. My mother died young, and my father has not cared for me for many years. I have no status or background. I want to make something of myself while I'm young, so that people won't look down on me, and so that Eddie won't be judged by people behind his back for marrying someone like me."

She wiped tears from her eyes as she spoke.

Ismael pulled out some tissue for her, patting her on the shoulder.

As she cried, Ismael's anger subsided.

He didn't even know this child had such a spine.

"Who says there's no one to support you? I'm here for you. No one dares to bully you."

Though not in good health and now in his eighties, he was born with the bearing of a king and spoke with great poise.

Nancy wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and murmured in a low voice, "Grandpa, I really don't want you to get mad at Eddie. If you get into a fight over me, I will feel so guilty. Eddie is probably just trying to have some fun. I told you about this, but please do not get involved. Let me talk to Eddie first, okay?"

Ismael sighed helplessly, "You are so thoughtful and lovable."

"Grandpa, I like Eddie a lot. He's the only man I want to marry. But please give me a little more time. I'm not asking for a long time, just a year or two. I want to marry him decently after I have a successful career. That way you and Eddie will not be embarrassed by me. Eddie is always worried about your health, afraid that you cannot wait that long, so he has been pushing me very hard. And he hired Miss Lovelace to push me. But I think Eddie worries too much. Grandpa, you're so good, you're definitely going to live a long life."

Her words were so sweet and made Ismael so happy.

"Kid, you're such a joy."

Seeing a smile on Ismael's face, Nancy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Ismael promised to give her some more time, Edison's attempt would be useless.
