Chapter 46
"I've been pretty busy with work lately," I made up an excuse.
It was true that I was busy with work every day, but not so busy that I couldn't find time to visit grandma.
It's just that I wasn't her granddaughter-in-law.
Grandma Cooper was overly enthusiastic and extremely kind to me.
Every time I met Grandma Cooper's eager eyes, I couldn't bring myself to explain.
I was even afraid of seeing disappointment in her expression.
"That's okay, I'm so happy to see you today!" Grandma Cooper held my hand tightly, staring at me with bright eyes.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "My granddaughter-in-law is so beautiful!"
I felt a bit embarrassed under Grandma Cooper's gaze.
I turned my head to look around, frowning slightly, and asked, "Grandma, why are you out here alone?"
Last time Grandma Cooper fainted on the street, Jessica and I happened to run into her.
But you can't count on being that lucky every time.
The smile on Grandma Cooper's face grew even brighter as she said, "It's fine, I just came here to find Jason, and I'll head back once I'm done."
She held my hand and kept asking me questions.
Victoria stood nearby and tried to speak several times, but Grandma Cooper subtly blocked her each time.
In the end, Victoria could only stomp away angrily in her high heels.
"Grandma, actually Mr. Cooper and I..."
My eyes caught Victoria's retreating figure, and I gathered the courage to explain to Grandma Cooper.
But Grandma Cooper immediately comforted me, "Don't say anything, I understand! I understand everything! Jason must have made you angry, right? Don't worry! I'll definitely teach him a lesson for you!"
After saying that, she didn't give me a chance to speak.
Grandma Cooper pulled out her phone directly, looking at me with a smile, and said, "Let's exchange phone numbers, okay? That way, if grandma misses you, I can call you."
As if afraid I would refuse, Grandma Cooper quickly added, "Don't worry! I won't bother you normally!"
Facing such an adorable Grandma Cooper, I really couldn't bring myself to refuse.
After exchanging numbers with Grandma Cooper, I watched as she very seriously filled in my name in the contact notes.
"Sue, how about we also add each other on Facebook?" Grandma Cooper held her phone, looking at me eagerly.
We'd already exchanged phone numbers, so adding each other on Facebook wasn't a big deal.
I just didn't expect Grandma Cooper to be so trendy and know how to use Facebook herself.
After we finished, I was also planning to head back to DT Corp.
But Grandma Cooper quickly grabbed me and said, "Could you give me a ride to Time Cake Shop on your way?"
I was a bit surprised and asked, "Grandma, didn't you come to find Mr. Cooper?"
"It's fine, I can come find him later." Grandma Cooper waved her hand.
I didn't ask any more questions and agreed.
When I turned my back to Grandma Cooper to open the car door, I didn't see the triumphant look in her eyes.
On the way to Time Cake Shop, Grandma Cooper watched me drive while chatting with me.
"Sue, where do you work now?"
"DT Corp," I answered honestly.
Grandma Cooper thought for a moment before speaking, "Terry's company?"
I nodded.
"So what do you do there?"
"Executive assistant."
"Brian Wilson's assistant?"
I nodded again.
Brian's reputation as a playboy was well known, and I was prepared for Grandma Cooper to look at me differently.
But surprisingly, Grandma Cooper clapped her hands and praised me happily, "That's my granddaughter-in-law! So impressive! Being an executive assistant is really tough; not just anyone can do it!"
I was stunned, feeling a warmth in my heart.
"But I remember Brian only came back about a year ago," Grandma Cooper added.
"Yes, I was already Mr. Ethan's assistant when I was in Sunrise City, and later came to Seaside City with Mr. Ethan."
Of course, the main reason was that I wanted to come here to find Kean.
I never expected that I would find Kean, but he had transformed into Mr. Cooper, someone beyond my reach.
Thinking of this, a bitter feeling rose in my heart.
My thoughts were tangled in memories, and since I was still driving, I didn't notice Grandma Cooper's thoughtful expression.
"Grandma, we're at Time Cake Shop."
The car stopped by the roadside. I was about to leave when Grandma Cooper enthusiastically pulled me out of the car, bought two cakes, and insisted I take them.
I felt embarrassed and refused, "Grandma, you don't need to."
"Don't be polite with me! Don't you guys like cake? This shop's cakes are delicious, take them, take them!"
Grandma Cooper put the cakes in the passenger seat without giving me a choice.
I had no choice but to accept them.
Driving back to the company, I took out one of the cakes to share with my colleagues.
Seeing the logo on the cake box, a colleague was quite surprised and asked, "This is from Time Cake Shop, right? That place is really expensive!"
Another person joked with me, "Ms. Wilson, did you win the lottery?"
I shook my head and said, "A friend gave it to me."
At this, my colleagues exchanged glances and asked, "Did your boyfriend give it to you?"
I laughed and said, "Of course not."
"I remember you have a daughter, are you married?"
I didn't want to talk much about this and didn't say more.
Glacier Corp.
Grandma Cooper came back from Time Cake Shop and pushed open the CEO's office door forcefully.
"Grandma? Why did you suddenly come?"
Jason, who had been handling documents, stood up in surprise.
Grandma Cooper closed the door and said unhappily, "Did you make Sue angry? I've told you so many times, as a man, you need to be a gentleman! You need to be considerate of Sue!"
Jason looked confused.
He had just been kissing Sue, so how did it suddenly become him bullying Sue?
"Grandma, are you misunderstanding something?" Jason asked good-naturedly.
"I ran into Sue downstairs at the company today, and she called you Mr. Cooper!"
Grandma Cooper widened her eyes and warned him, "If Sue runs away, don't bother coming back either!"
Grandma Cooper went on and on for quite a while.
Over and over, she told him not to bully Sue.
Finally, Grandma Cooper suddenly lowered her voice and asked seriously, "Tell Grandma honestly, is Sue the girl who broke up with you in Sunrise City five years ago?"
Jason didn't plan to hide it and nodded, "It's her."
"How far have you two gotten?" Grandma Cooper asked again.
"...All the way," Jason said, which made Grandma Cooper want to hit him again!
"Then you need to take responsibility! You're a man!"
"I understand, Grandma, but she was the one who broke up with me back then."
Only then did Grandma Cooper suddenly remember that when Jason came back from Sunrise City that year, he was devastated.
Apparently, his girlfriend dumped him because she thought he had no money.
Grandma Cooper knew the reason for the breakup.
Grandma Cooper was silent for a long time before speaking, "Now Sue also knows our family is very wealthy, so doesn't that meet her standards?"
