Matthewforted her.
Sure enough, his words managed to reassure Ste a little and she felt relieved.
But even so, she didn’t want to dy.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
So, Matthew and Ste packed their luggage as quickly as they could and set off for Bysea.
When they arrived, Clint was the one who opened the door for them.
At the sight of her grandfather, Ste held the old man’s hands and examined him from head to toe.
It wasn’t until she was sure that he was fine that she breathed a sigh of relief.
While Ste was examining him, Clint noticed the gauze on her hand.
“What’s wrong with your hand? How did you get hurt?” he asked worriedLy.
Ste instinctively withdrew her hand and exined evasively, “I was busy cutting fabrics when I identally cut my hand.
I could have just put a Band-Aid on it, but Matthew insisted on applying gauze on the wound.
”
She secretly winked at Matthew.
Matthew immediately caught on to what she was hinting and said, “Grandpa, I was the one who bandaged her wound.
Don’t worry.
It’s really not a big deal”
Clint didn’t doubt Matthew’s words a bit, so the old man’s expression finally softened a little.
Ste quickly changed the topic.
“Grandpa, what’s so urgent that you asked me toe back in a hurry?”
It was only then that Clint remembered the important thing he had to tell her.
His expression became grave.
“The orphanage called me this morning and told me that someone has been looking for you.
”
His words made Ste’s heart beat faster.
There was a look of expectation in her eyes as she had her guess on who that person could be.
She asked in a trembling voice, “Grandpa, who is this person looking for me?”
“I don’t know.
ALL I know is that it’s a woman.
I’ve asked Oliver to drive her here.
They’ll be here soon,” Clint answered.
Ste was very nervous and she kept fidgeting with her fingers.
When she was lost in thought, a strong hand suddenly held hers.
The simply touch brought her back to reality and she turned her head to look at Matthew.
The calm expression on his face reassured her and helped her calm down.
Clint nced at his watch.
“It’s already noon.
I guess you haven’t had lunch yet, right? Come inside; let’s have Lunch first.
They would probably arrive shortly after lunch time.
”
Ste agreed perfunctorily.
The truth was that she had no appetite and only agreed to please her grandfather.
She waited impatiently to see who this woman was.
But at the same time, she feared that she would be disappointed.
Matthew had been quiet the whole time.
He had the same guess as Ste, but he also had a strange feeling.
After lunch, the three people went back to the living room.
They had been there for just a few minutes when they heard some noise at the front door.
