Chapter 418
After dinner, Hackett and Sherri returned to the Blackwell family.
As for Edward, he went straight back to his room after dinner. Juana was overjoyed. She quickly said, “Just go. Go. Hurry up to increase your relationship with Dr. Roberts. Strive to bring her home as soon as possible.”
After walking around, Juana paced back and forth in her pajamas. She held her phone in her hand and wanted to make a call, but she hesitated.
Richard opened the door from outside and saw his wife walking back and forth. She looked very uneasy with a frown. “Why are you spinning like a top? Don’t you feel dizzy?”
Seeing her husband enter, Juana began to discuss. “Do you think we should help our son? I keep feeling that our son is not very enlightened in this aspect. I’m afraid that he will scare Dr. Roberts away. Why don’t we go and talk to Dr. Roberts?”
Richard had already taken a shower. He walked straight to the bed, lifted the blanket, and sat down. “You’re just worrying for nothing. If you mess around, you might be able to help your son become single again.”
“I just want to ask Dr. Roberts what she likes. I’m afraid our son is not good at this and doesn’t know how to communicate with her. How is that bad for him?”
Juana felt a little aggrieved. She wanted to do so because she was anxious and hoped her son would succeed. She glared at her husband angrily.
Richard’s hair stood on end from the glare. He quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant. What I meant was, listen to your son and don’t go and talk to the girl. They just got together, and their relationship foundation is unstable. They’re still at the stage of getting to know each other. If you’re too enthusiastic and make your presence known, you will affect them inevitably. If there’s anything, you can ask Sherri. Isn’t Sherri a friend of Dr. Roberts? You can let Sherri put in a good word for you. It’s inappropriate for an elder like you to get involved.
“Relationships also depend on fate. If they don’t get along well, they will be separated. It’s unrealistic for you to force them to be together, so the best way is to let them develop naturally. Honey, don’t worry. Is there still a need to worry about your son doing things?”
Richard persuaded earnestly.
Juana felt her husband was right, but she couldn’t agree with him 100%. Back then, she thought her son and Natalie would be together. In the end, she listened to Richard and didn’t interfere. Now, Natalie was someone else’s wife.
“Our son knows his limits too well. He has too much sense of proportion. If he were to take down Dr. Roberts as our son-in-law did, I’m telling you, we must have been grandparents for a long time. I still have to help him a little. Don’t worry. I won’t go talk to Dr. Roberts.”
Richard was speechless.
Juana tapped her phone in her palm and finally decided to share it with Joy. “Sleep first. I’ll call Joy.”
As she spoke, Juana sat down on the edge of the bed. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Richard stopped persuading Juana. He calmly picked up the book and flipped through it. He still didn’t intend to interfere.
The call was quickly picked up. “Hello, Joy, I have good news for you.”
Joy, who had always liked to gossip, hurriedly said, “Tell me! Tell me, what good news is it?”
Juana could not suppress the excitement in her heart. “Edward found a beautiful girlfriend. Her profession is good. She’s beautiful and kind.”
Joy was shocked. Her voice became louder. “Really? That’s great. Who is she?”
‘She is the pediatrician from Athana Hospital. She’s the young lady who came to help in the middle of the night when Ruby was sick. That’s not the main point. The most troublesome thing is that this young lady is from the Roberts family.
“Do you think the Roberts family will agree to this marriage? Edward is indeed a little old. Sherri said he was four years older than that girl. I think it’s fine. The main point is that I don’t know if the Roberts family will agree. Do you know anything about the Roberts family?”
Joy thought she had misheard. The Roberts family did have a daughter, but she had left the country a long time ago. She had seen her when she was young but hadn’t seen her since she grew up. She didn’t expect the person she saw last time to be the Roberts family’s daughter. She asked again, “Are you sure she’s from the Roberts family?”
“Sherri told me. It can’t be wrong.”
This time, Juana answered with certainty.
The two of them chatted for about an hour. In the end, the task of asking around still fell on Joy.
She was good at asking around.
On the Blackwell family’s side, Joy lay down on the bed. Then she lifted the blanket and got out of bed again. Nathan was
puzzled. “Where are you going so late at night?”
“I’m going to ask Hackett something. Stay out of it.”
Nathan reminded his wife, “Why are you talking to Hackett so late at night? Sherri must be asleep. You’ll wake them up.” The entire family doted on Sherri like she was their treasure. Glancing at her granddaughter, who was sleeping beside her, Joy finally decided not to knock on the door. She sent a message instead. [Come over for a moment.]
A few minutes later, Hackett knocked on Joy’s room. “Mom.”
Joy quickly opened the door and pulled Hackett in. She went straight to the point and asked, “Is Edward dating the Roberts. family’s daughter now?
“Is that Frank’s sister?”
Hackett was depressed. They talked about this during dinner in the Landor family. And now, when he was going to sleep, his mother came to talk about this in the middle of the night. What the hell? “Yes.”
Joy instructed, “When you have nothing to do, go and find out from Frank. Juana can’t sleep at night if she doesn’t make it settled. I’ll leave this matter to you.”
The last ball was kicked to Hackett. Nathan, who sat on the bed, smiled meaningfully.
Hackett was unwilling to accept this task. Frank was a tight-lipped guy, and it was difficult to ask something from him. “No, Mom, wait a moment. It’s Edward who is dating, not me. Why am I the one in charge of this?”
“To think that Juana treats you so well. You don’t even want to help with such a small matter. Just ask if Frank knows his sister is in a relationship with Edward. Then, ask him what he thinks about it. This mission is so simple. Even Ruby can complete it. Don’t tell me you can’t.”
Hackett was speechless.
Nathan shook his head and looked up at Hackett. “Juana had already discussed Edward’s marriage with your mom, and the sex of the child has also been discussed. Just help them with the last step. Go back to sleep. It’s best to give your mother an answer tomorrow morning.”
Hackett was speechless again. “…” Wasn’t she a little too anxious?
Hackett, who had returned to his room, was speechless because he suddenly received a job. He scratched his head and glanced at Sherri, who was already asleep on the bed. He went to the balcony and dialed Franks’s number. He began to talk casually with his usual teasing tone. “Aren’t you coming back?”
At this moment, Frank had come back from the amusement park with Ava. At this time, he was also on the balcony, and Ava was taking a shower in the bathroom.
Frank placed the phone by his ear and replied casually, “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t lay any useless groundwork.”
Hearing this, Hackett suddenly became interested. “That doesn’t sound right. Didn’t Rose broadcast that your proposal was successful? Could it be that Little Princess rejected you because she was unsatisfied?”
“Fuck off.”
Hackett laughed out loud like a bitch. “Aha, so you really can’t satisfy her.”
“It’s better than you who didn’t have sex at all. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
No sex? Fuck! Wasn’t he showing off and cursing him to be unhappy?
When the other party was about to hang up, Hackett stopped him. He had a mission to make this call. On one side was his mother-in-law, and on the other was his mother. He could not afford to offend either side. “I need to ask you something.”
Frank became impatient. He glanced at the room. Ava was about to come out. He was going to blow dry his hair. “Can you cut the crap and say it all at once? Save the phone bill to buy milk powder.”
Hackett automatically blocked Frank’s nonsense. He couldn’t be angry. “Do you know that Rose is dating Edward?”
Of course. He’d known that last night. “Yeah.”
Seeing that Frank wasn’t angry, Hackett found it very strange. Wasn’t she his sister? Wasn’t he a sister-doting maniac? “You agreed just like that? Aren’t you going to beat Edward up?”
When Frank heard this, he paused for a few seconds before replying with a smile, “Edward beat you up?”
Hackett was speechless.
There was no way he would admit such a thing. “How is that possible? I only feel that Rose can’t be coaxed away so easily. You should at least act like an older brother to show your status as an older brother, right?”
Frank was already sure that Hackett called to defame Edward for revenge. If he suddenly hit Edward, Rose would quarrel with him. “I won’t use force if I can solve problems with my mouth. Baby Ava doesn’t like me fighting.”
