CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 316

After the kidnapping that year, Emmett had been fighting with George for a long time.

At that time, he didn't think about what was unusual about the kidnapping case. He just felt that George was also responsible for it.

The father and son pair started to have estrangement at that time.

After George sent Emmett out of the country to live with Frances and her family, his relationship with George completely broke apart.

When he returned to the country, he built his own villa outside and founded the D-Fronts Media. At the meanwhile, the conflict and estrangement between him and George had also deepened day by day.

"Yes." When Emmett looked at George, George was also looking at him.

The two of them did not look like father and son. Instead, they were very unfamiliar with each other.

Emmett's gaze finally stopped on George's eyes. He asked in an indifferent voice, "Why are you looking for me?"

"I just want to see where you live." George’s tone was as cold as Emmett’s.

In the past few years, George had also tried to improve his relationship with Emmett. However, they had barely spoken with each other in the recent years.

"Is that so? How can you suddenly care so much about me?" Emmett looked at him with a faint smile.

What George hated the most was such an expression on Emmett’s face, which made it impossible for him to read Emmett’s mind.

He frowned slightly. "Since you're back, go and see your grandfather."

"Okay, let's have lunch together." Emmett stood up and went to the place where Alfred was living.

After Alfred was discharged from the hospital, Emmett seldom came to visit him.

The main reason was that Emmett had been very busy, and the other reason was that he did not want to go back to Lawrence’s Mansion.

Emmett stood at the door of Alfred's room and paused for a moment. He then pushed the door open and walked in.

When the servant who took care of Alfred saw Emmett, he whispered to Alfred, "Old Master, the Young Master is here to see you."

Alfred was sitting in a wheelchair. His legs were covered with a thin blanket. He was staring out of the window in a daze. No one knew what he was looking at.

He did not respond to the servant's words.

The servant looked at Emmett and nodded slightly. He called out respectfully, "Young Master."

"You may leave."

After the servant left, Emmett walked over to Alfred and squatted down in front of him. "Grandpa, I’m Emmett. I'm here to see you."

His voice caught Alfred's attention.

Alfred turned his head to look at Emmett. His eyes were lifeless. He just kept staring at Emmett, and his mouth was unconsciously whimpering.

Emmett pursed his lips into a straight line. A puzzled look appeared between his brows. He said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

What Alfred had told him during the New Year indication that there was more to be known about the kidnapping case back then.

However, what Alfred wanted to tell him was definitely not as simple as the little secrets behind the kidnapping case.

It must be so severe that, those people didn’t hesitate to put Alfred into this state.

What made George and the others so afraid?

What kind of role did Frances play in the kidnapping case many years ago and in the accident that had happened to Alfred now?

In the end, Emmett failed to get any reaction from Alfred.

Emmett sat with Alfred for a while, then he got up and left.

The servant was guarding at the door. When he saw Emmett come out, she called out respectfully, "Young Master."

"Grandpa has always been like this?" Emmett stopped and asked coldly.

The servant shivered slightly and replied, "Yes, the old man's condition has always been like this. He receives medical inspections regularly every month. And the doctor says he is in good health.”

After Emmett heard that, he thought for a moment and said, "Take good care of him."

"Yes."

Emmett stayed at the old residence for lunch.

There were a lot of people in Lawrence family, but very few were present at home on a working day.

During the meal, there were only Emmett and George.

Emmett took the wine from the servant and looked up at George. "Have some wine."

George raised his eyebrows slightly and looked very surprised. "Do you want to drink with me?"

Emmett did not say much. He took George's wine glass and poured some wine into it. After that, he handed it to George.

George looked at him for a few seconds, and finally took it.

Emmett picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp. He then turned the glass upside down for George to see, indicating that he had drunk it up.

George did not drink it all in one gulp like Emmett did. He only took a small sip. "I am too old to be compared to young people. I have to drink slowly."

"You are only in your fifties, and you are already starting to cherish your life?" Emmett smiled meaningfully. It was difficult to read what he was feeling from the expression.

He and George had always been like this for a long time. So George was not very angry.

"That's not it. I'm still waiting to have a sip of my daughter-in-law's toast tea." George asked as if he did not mean to. "Kathleen introduced you to a girl. Have you met her?"
