Chapter 309

Liam pursed his lips and after a long time, he finally said, “I misunderstood her.”

Owen said, “Mrs. doesn’t hold grudges. Just apologize nicely, sweet–talk her a bit, and she’ll definitely forgive you.”

No grudge? The teeth marks she left on his arm from biting him when he took her blanket last night haven’t faded yet.

There’s no woman more vindictive than her in the world.

Liam handed his phone back to Owen. “Have someone keep an eye on Sydney. Don’t let her get hurt or cause trouble before the agreed time. If she breaks the agreement again, I’ll take back everything I’ve given her the way I gave it.”

“Understood.”

Just as Owen left, Celeste sent a message, “Grandpa David is asking if you’re coming back for dinner tonight.”

Liam glanced at the unfinished work next to him, closed the file and replied, “OK.”

When Liam returned, Old Mr. David was uncharacteristically enthusiastic. “Young Reed, you’re back?”

He squinted and grinned; his facial wrinkles squeezed together, looking kind and funny.

Feeling slightly overwhelmed, Liam gave an affirmative response, glanced at the untouched food on the table, and explained, “There was some traffic.”
