There’s big gossip!
Grace immediately perked up her ears and slowed down while enjoying her dessert.
Isaac saw through it all and tapped on the table, "Grandma, let's eat."
Even at her age, she's still eavesdropping on others?
Caught in the act of eavesdropping, Grace worried that Brittany might misunderstand and defiantly said, "I'm just having a meal. As an old lady, do you think I'm up to anything devious?"
Isaac: "Do you have anything other than devious thoughts?"
"Bri, do you think the Dustin family will agree to this marriage?" Hannah Chester sighed on the other end of the call.
Brittany felt quite certain that Robert Dustin was essentially a social climber, relying on his mother's connections to elevate himself and engaging in infidelity during his marriage. Now that the Dustin family has fallen on hard times, he must be desperate to climb up another powerful family's ladder. The Field family's proposal at this time indicates their certainty that the Dustin family will accept.
"They will," Brittany replied succinctly before hanging up the call.
After finishing the dessert on her plate, she went to her room to change clothes, did her makeup, and came out to find Grace eating watermelon.
"Bri, come here! I saved the sweetest slice of watermelon for you."
"I’m fine, Grandma."
Brittany opened the shoe cabinet and swapped her shoes for a pair of flats, "Grandma, it's getting late, and I need to go to work. I'll order some takeout for you at lunch. There's a great place nearby. Remember to pick up the food when it arrives, and after eating, you can rest in my room; I've changed the sheets for you."
Grace got up, "Alright, thank you for your trouble."
"No problem."
As Brittany was about to leave, Grace held her back, "Isn't Zac still here? Why isn't he giving you a ride to work?"
A newlywed couple, having the opportunity to commute to work together, such a rare and precious time to spend together!
Just changed into his clothes, Isaac heard this and raised an eyebrow, "I'll take her."
If he refused, Grace might cause a scene.
"Bri, gas prices are high nowadays. In the future, let Zac pick you up. Off you go!" Grace was pleased with the development, and the two left one after the other.
Brittany didn't really want Isaac to give her a ride, but he gestured to the balcony, "Grandma's watching, get in the car."
