Chapter 2172
Kate was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing. He just said that when you were in Bishop Family, he asked me to take good care of you. He is worrying too much. Maxwell, you are my son. How can I be bad to you?"
"Oh."
Maxwell nodded and sat down. She placed her hands on her knees and looked a little disappointed.
Kate immediately said, "What's wrong? Did the Ali Enterprises scold you? I've already said that they were on guard against me and didn't trust me. Maxwell, you promised mom that you would stay with me for a few days. You can't go back like this!"
Kate was not sure whether she was really anxious or she was good at acting. When Maxwell looked back at her, her eyes were red and sparkling.
"Since I have promised you, I will definitely do it," Maxwell said.
Kate smiled.
"Grandma and Dad are on the phone. They are worried about me..." Maxwell was too considerate of others' feelings. She swallowed back the words that the Ali Enterprises was worried about Kate. She said softly, "They are worried that I will have too much fun in Bishop Family and don't want to go back, because I will finish the final exam next week."
"No, I won't. Besides, the Bishop Family is also your family. Why can't you have a good time in the Bishop Family..." Kate said, seeing that Maxwell had forgotten herself, she smiled again. "I mean, they don't have to worry about this problem at all. Didn't you ask the Ali Family to send your schoolbag over? You can review it when you are in the Bishop Family. I will accompany you. Next Monday, I will send you to the school with Alfred."
Maxwell nodded.
He only hoped that his father could be a little more optimistic and let him accompany his biological mother for a few days. He really didn't say that he forgot the kindness of his grandmother and grandparents to him. He forgot his father and Nia, so he left with his biological mother in the restaurant.
In fact, when he thought of how his father had told him on the phone that Nia had been hospitalized because she had chased him out of the restaurant, he was very worried and felt very sorry.
However, when he saw the worried expression on his mother's face, who was afraid that he would leave, he couldn't bring himself to say anything and wanted to visit Nia...
"So, you don't have to worry too much. It's not wrong for a child to accompany his mother!" Kate said. Seeing a little smile on Maxwell's face, she put down the stone in her heart. She rolled her clear eyes and said tentatively,
"By the way, Maxwell, what did he say when you asked your father to help me deal with the matter of the two women taking photos of me?"
She knew that Zayn had an influence on the media. If he was willing to help, there would be no problem.
But Zayn had already said that on the phone. It was clear that he had conditions to help her.
And she didn't want Maxwell to go back either... Therefore, she could only rely on Maxwell. Maxwell was the favorite of the Ali Enterprises. If he insisted on letting Zayn help, Zayn would probably not be able to embarrass his son!
"Oh." Maxwell remembered that she had promised Kate and said tactfully, "I, I have already mentioned it to my father. But now he is very angry with me for leaving Nia in the restaurant. But I will tell my father later. He will help me."
"Yes, I believe in you. I will definitely help you."
Kate sneered as she coaxed Maxwell. "That Nia wants to stop me from meeting Maxwell? She doesn't know what's good for her... Why doesn't she know who gave birth to Maxwell?"
So what if her stepmother did it well? Did she still want to compete with her biological mother?
This was proof that Maxwell would go with her! Kate thought about these things in a strange way, as well as the plan to let Maxwell get close to her and make that woman unable to stand firmly in the Ali Enterprises. However, she completely forgot that her mother, Mrs. Bishop, was also Chloe's stepmother in the past! What she and her mother had done was too much...
"Actually, I want to know what happened between you and Dad back then." Maxwell looked at her. "Why didn't Daddy save you from prison and you guys broke up?"
Maxwell did not object to the relationship between Maxwell and Nia because he had fallen in love with them at that time.
But he still wanted to know something about breaking up with his parents.
"Well, this..." Kate did not know what to say for a moment.
"First Miss, there are two people outside. They say that they are the bodyguards of the Ali Enterprises." Sister walked into the hall and said.
Kate's face changed, and she immediately pulled Maxwell tightly. "Let them go. Maxwell and I will not see them, nor will Maxwell go back!"
Maxwell looked at Kate and felt a little embarrassed.
For the sake of Maxwell, Mrs. Bishop specially went to the shopping mall to buy some dishes on her way back from the restaurant. She wanted to let Maxwell see how kind the Bishop Family was to her, so she went to the kitchen and the chef to prepare the restaurant in the evening.
Hearing Sister's voice outside, Mrs. Bishop ran out. "What? Someone from the Ali Enterprises came? How can Maxwell go back when she just came over? Tell them that the Ali Enterprises is very good in the Bishop Family. Not to mention that Maxwell's mother is now at home, and that his grandparents miss him, he spent this weekend in the Bishop Family!"
Perhaps Mrs. Bishop really wanted to prepare dinner with them. Since she married into the Bishop Family, she had not touched the hot spring water at all. At this time, she was wearing an apron, and her hands were stained with water and some chopped onions. It did not look like she was putting on an act.
Maxwell looked at her grandmother, and her eyes were a little hot.
He remembered that his father would take her to the Bishop Family more often, but he had never spent the night there. At this time, he took a deep breath and said to the servant, Sister, "Let them go back, and tell them that I have already told my father what to say on the phone."
Kate smiled again.
Sister answered and ran out again.
In the evening, Finn also came back. When he saw Maxwell coming and he was going to spend the weekend in the Bishop Family, he was very happy. He fought with Mrs. Bishop to pick up food for Maxwell. Kate had never taken care of her child. In the past, she felt that she had never been so enthusiastic to entertain guests when she walked on the path of cold beauty. Seeing her parents doing this, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food for Maxwell.
Seeing this scene, Maxwell felt warm in her heart. After all, the Bishop Family members were also his relatives.
"Grandpa, grandma, you can also eat it." Maxwell picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Finn and Mrs. Bishop. In the end, when she saw Kate, who was full of expectation, she did not forget to pick up another piece for this mother. "You can eat it too."
Kate was flattered. She quickly picked up the
dishes handed over by her son and ate them. Mrs. Bishop kept praising her. "Kate, look, our Maxwell is very sensible. She knows that his grandfather's words are not good, so she picked a boneless one!"
"Of course, this is my child." Kate did not take care of Maxwell, nor did she participate in the education of Maxwell, but she had confidence from nowhere. She believed that Maxwell was excellent because of her, such as... at least her genes.
Finn was very excited when he heard that Maxwell was going to stay overnight and spend the weekend in the Bishop Family. He said to Sister, "Go and clean up a room for her. Also, prepare a writing table for her to do her homework."
Sister nodded. "Okay, Old Master, I'll go now..."
"Dad, there's no need," Kate said, "I've just told Maxwell that we'll sleep together these days. I haven't brought Maxwell with me these years. Now I'm going to do my duty as a mother."
Her words were pleasant to listen to, and Maxwell did believe her.
Then he nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa."
"Well, then... just add one more quilt to Kate's room. The weather has not yet warmed up yet," said Mrs. Bishop.
"No, it's okay. We'll hold each other and sleep. It'll definitely be very warm." Kate smiled at Maxwell. While speaking, she put down the bowl and chopsticks and hugged Maxwell. "Dad, Mom, let me take care of Maxwell at home these two days!"
Kate firmly believed that this could close the distance between her and her son.
Finn and Mrs. Bishop thought for a moment and nodded. "That's good. Kate, you are at home these days, so you should spend some time with Maxwell."
"You can also bring Maxwell to the company to have a look." Bishop Group immediately said to Maxwell with a smile, "Coincidentally, my grandson has not yet arrived at the Bishop Family's company. Come and take a look! Maxwell, although Bishop Company cannot be compared to Ali Enterprises, it is also a large- scale cosmetic company. You can come and take part in it!"
"Hey!" Mrs. Bishop knocked Finn with her elbow and said with blame, "Maxwell will finish the final exam next week. The children's learning is the most important thing. You can go back to attend Bishop Group later. Maxwell has to study hard at home these two days."
"Well, then, Maxwell, I will take you to the Bishop Family's company next time, okay?" Finn was particularly gentle to his grandson. Maybe he would do his best to be kind to anyone who was stingy.
"Okay, Grandpa," Maxwell nodded and said.
"That's right. On the contrary, Maxwell will definitely come to the Bishop Family often in the future." Kate held Maxwell in her arms. "After all , she can't possibly not come to see my mother!"
Maxwell smiled.
He didn't answer.
Because he really didn't know if he would let her see his mother when he went back this time. Because on the phone, he could tell that his father was really angry!
After receiving Maxwell's words, Finn talked about one of Mrs. Bishop's matters in the afternoon and casually mentioned it to Mrs. Bishop. " He, in the afterno came to talk to me about a few things. It was obvious that he was doing good for the company and was giving some advice. But I can tell that he must have other motives in his words."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Bishop and Kate's hands, which were eating, paused.
"Oh, is it... really? What did he say?" Mrs. Bishop asked knowingly.
After eating, Finn put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed. "It's said that the shares of the Bishop Group are too scattered now. It's not good for the unity of the company, and there are some obstacles for me to make decisions in the board of directors. Then, he proposed one or two shareholders who would buy back or take back the shares, one of whom is Sara."
Mrs. Bishop pursed her lips and Kate listened attentively.
The two of them thought that Yan was indeed very shrewd.
In order not to arouse Finn's suspicion, he did not say that he would take back Sara's shares alone. Instead, he mentioned one or two of them. Sara was just one of them...
