Hearing this, Howard's elegant face darkened. "Florence! It's fine talking about Owen and Patrick, but don't implicate me in!"
However, even if Howard pulled a long face, he was still elegant and not cruel, which basically brought no deterrent effect.
Florence smiled cheekily and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes... Dad was so obedient when he was young! There will never be such a situation where he was beaten by gramps with his crutch."
Florence's words had further complemented Howard's earlier words, indicating that he was trying to cover up the truth.
Everyone was so happy and even Howard was feeling amused as well. He said, "I guess it's true that women are hard to deal with. You can continue to be happy. I'll go and accompany dad for a walk!"
Florence pouted and said to Howard, "Dad, did you consider Owen's and Andrew's gender when you said this?"
Howard was stunned for a moment and realized that he had been provoked by Florence. He felt helpless and said, "You! I should have married you
off earlier so you won't have time to annoy me!"
When it came to marriage, Florence's face immediately changed. "Dad, I am still young. I don't want to get married yet!"
Howard's voice sank. "Young? You're about Amelia's age. Look at her..."
"Alright, dad." Under Florence's pleading gaze, Owen stood up from the sofa and said to Howard, "Let them talk and we'll go to accompany gramps."
Howard opened his mouth and wanted to say something more to Florence, but he was interrupted by Owen's gentle voice. "Dad, gramps is getting older. We'd better keep an eye on him."
Howard hence shut his mouth and turned to nod at his eldest son. "Let's go then."
Owen said yes and smiled at Florence, who rejoiced in secret. Then he walked away together with Howard.
As soon as the father and son left, Andrew instantly became the only male present!
He did not know if it was his illusion, but he got the feeling of being focused on!
He tried to slip down from the sofa to follow his father's footsteps, but was pulled back by
Ashley the next second.
Ashley smiled and clung onto his neck with her hands. She looked at him curiously and asked.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Andrew got a little helpless. "I... I'm going for a walk..."
Ashley raised her light eyebrows and tried to stop him. "Why are you going for a walk? Isn't it good to chat happily with us?"
Andrew was speechless. It was always the group of women who were chatting happily!
Whereas the group of men could only be provoked and do nothing at all times!
Since his great-grandfather, grandfather and father had all left, he would definitely become their target if he stayed there! Andrew thought of it sorrowfully.
Seeing that Andrew was so eager to leave, Ashley rolled her eyes and said slyly, "By the way, Andrew, didn't you want to know the meaning of the conversation between our great-grandparents just now? Do you want me to explain it to you?"
This had actually aroused Andrew's desire to know more. He moved his butt hanging in the air back to the sofa and sat down properly. Then he said to his sister, "Ashley, please tell me!"
The dialogue between the two children had aroused close attention of everyone else.
Ashley then whispered in Andrew's ears with an evil expression.
After a while, Ashley came down from Andrew's shoulder and asked proudly, "Well, do you
understand the meaning of great-grandma's words now?"
After being stunned for a long while, Andrew suddenly let out a scream, as if he had seen a ghost.
Seeing that her pure brother was shocked by the truth, Ashley could not help but waved her small hand in front of his dull little face. "Hey, hey, hey... are you alright?"
"I'm... I'm fine!" Andrew replied. With his face as red as a monkey's butt, he quickly jumped off the sofa and ran to the door!
After hearing the door being slammed for the third time, the Ashley clicked lightly and said with a look of disdain, "Why is my brother's face as thin as a little girl's?"
Nora looked at her little daughter with a bright gaze while Florence said in surprise, "Nora, I think Ashley has a style similar to mine!"
Nora was speechless. Florence was right. Ashley was totally different from her image as a little lady in her imagination.
As she thought about this, Nora could hear the sound of her heart breaking.
On the other side, in the garden.
"Dad, please slow down. The ground is full of cobblestones. Be careful not to be tripped." "That's right, gramps. You've used your crutch for quite a few years, haven't you? Can it withstand your forceful torment like this? Why don't you let me help you?"
"Get the h*ll out of here, both of you!"
The old man with grey hair and beard walked in front and poked around the ground with his crutch angrily, "Don't think that I don't know you were also laughing at me just now!"
