Chapter 73: Your daughter-in-law
Blanche Capra was standing in her house wondering what to do when she got the call from York Charlie, there was so much going on in her head that she just didn’t seem to want to do anything, and even if she wanted to she couldn’t. Blanche Capra was startled by her own feelings when she received the call from York Charlie, but she was surprised when she picked up the phone and heard his voice.
Blanche Capra was shocked at how she felt, but when she picked up the phone and heard his voice, she was relieved, but the relief was followed by a deeper pain. She’d known she still loved him, hadn’t she? But this love was causing her so much pain.
“Where is it? I’ll take you to my house for dinner tonight.” He said this to her with such ease.
Blanche Capra laughed bitterly at herself, “At home.”
“You’re home?” Slightly surprised.
“Well, a little tired so I came back.” She replied.
“You’re probably going to be even more tired today then,” York Charlie said somewhat teasingly, “Walk me home for dinner and I’ll pick you up.”
Blanche Capra found herself as if she didn’t want to refuse him, and agreed so silently.
Then York Charlie arrived soon after, so soon that she was surprised.
“Didn’t want to keep you waiting,” he said, “but these things always happen unavoidably, so I had to come as soon as I could to save you waiting too long.”
It was but half an hour’s journey, and he said that was too long.
But a surprised look, and he explained so much to her.
Blanche Capra couldn’t help but be touched by that. She inclined her head to look out the window of the car, and the whole city was always lit up before night came, as if in a kind of preternatural care.
York Charlie led Blanche Capra to step into the Charlie manor again, and Blanche Capra met someone she never expected to see.
Mrs. Casey was sitting on the sofa in the parlour with the old lady Elsa, and when she saw that York Charlie had come, she was at first delighted, but when she saw that Blanche Capra had followed her, her countenance sank again.
York Charlie saw also did not care, first towards the side of the old man affectionately shouted, “Grandma!”
Old lady Elsa smiled with her eyes narrowed into slits, her grandson was still so handsome, and still so close to her. She looked at the girl next to York Charlie, and her eyes suddenly settled on her face.
Her skin was fair, and her fluffy, thick black hair hung over her shoulders like it was holding a piece of jade. The figure was tall, thin, and elegant, and there seemed to be some emotion in those clear eyes that infected her and drew her to look deeply into them.
“Grandma,” York Charlie said, “this is Blanche Capra, my girlfriend.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Blanche Capra heard his introduction and did not deny it, but her emotions were being strongly affected by the sudden sight of the old lady Elsa. Blanche Capra saw that the old lady still had the same kindly look, and her eyes were as transparent as ever, except that her hair had gone grey again.
Blanche Capra realized that the old lady was staring at her, and violently averted her gaze, suppressing her inner ups and downs while raising a smile that was just right, “Grandma Elsa, how are you?”
She used to just call her grandma when she was Brandi. Because she liked her from the first time she met her, and also said what to call “grandma Elsa”, how strange ah, anyway,… sooner or later is going to be called “grandma”.
Blanche Capra thought of this, did not hold back the red eyes, she hid the lowered eyes. old lady Elsa’s heart then tugged at the heartstrings.
old lady Elsa’s heart clenched, she really looks like Brandi, is she Brandi?
Thinking about it, she went back to look at her grandson.
York Charlie saw his grandmother’s eyes stopped on Blanche Capra’s face for a while, and at this time, she did not say anything, but just looked at herself, he couldn’t help but puzzled to speak, “Grandma?”
old lady Elsa suddenly beckoned to Blanche Capra, “Come here, child.”
Blanche Capra couldn’t resist her eyes, which were so transparent that they seemed to embrace everything, and couldn’t help but step forward.
The old lady Elsa looked at her a little closer, and a smile of joy rose on her face, “Good, what a good-looking child. Tell Grandma, child, what is your name?”
Blanche Capra was flustered and suddenly had a feeling of being recognised, but managed to hold back the bitterness in her heart and replied, “My name is Blanche Capra.”
“Blanche … Capra,” old lady Elsa said as if to herself, her voice drifting in and out, “not Brandi?”
Blanche Capra’s hands shook, but her face was still smiling, “No, you have the wrong person, it’s not Brandi, it’s Blanche Capra.”
The two names circled back and forth between her teeth and tongue as if they had gone through a round of battle, Brandi and Blanche Capra, she and her, clearly one and the same, but fighting to hurt each other as if they were fighting to kill and rob each other.
old lady Elsa’s eyes moved slightly, and she did not argue with her, but only said slowly, “Since you are here, let’s go to the table and eat!”
Mrs Casey glared at Blanche Capra, and helped old lady Elsa over to the dining room.
York Charlie just heard the grandmother identified the wrong person, the heart for a moment is also not a taste, to Blanche Capra is even more guilty as hell, he is always mistaken her for Brandi, she must be not good, he only hope that he can put down Brandi as soon as possible, even if he can not put down, but also try to love Blanche Capra a little bit more, he does not want to He didn’t want to let another person down. …
York Charlie thought of this, but also helpless and hate themselves, hate themselves why a heart to be loaded with two women?
old lady Elsa sat down when she saw the two still standing in place, raised his voice, “York! Why don’t you bring your daughter-in-law to sit over here?”
York Charlie instantly smile, Blanche Capra but did not expect old lady Elsa so agree with her, dumbly by York Charlie lead her over.
The old lady Elsa smiled brightly and warmly at the sight of the two men holding hands together, but Mrs Casey’s face sank to a black pallor, and she glared angrily at Blanche Capra, who was sitting opposite her.
Blanche Capra could only pretend not to see.
At that moment, the sound of a car entering the house resounded in the yard again, and Mrs. Casey stood up in a hurry, a smile on her face, “It’s Shireen Miller coming! Mum,” she took old lady Elsa’s hand on the table, “it’s Shireen Miller coming!”
old lady Elsa drew her hand back in disdain, “It’s Shireen Miller, what are you so happy about? Are you still thinking of Shireen Miller as your daughter-in-law?” Here the old lady’s brows deeply frowned, “I tell you, now York has a daughter-in-law, you are not allowed to interfere, if you like Shireen Miller so much, why don’t you just recognise her as your goddaughter?”
York Charlie had frowned when he heard that Shireen Miller had arrived, but now that he heard the old lady defending him and his daughter-in-law, he couldn’t help but turn his face to look at Blanche Capra beside him, smiling both gently and teasingly.
He didn’t say anything, but that look seemed to be saying: look, my grandmother has recognised you as her granddaughter-in-law!
Blanche Capra understood what he was trying to say even if she hadn’t brought her brain here today! At this point she blushed slightly and glared at him again: Don’t you get cocky! I haven’t admitted it yet!
York Charlie, with tacit understanding, also read it, and his lips moved noiselessly: wait and see!
Blanche Capra bristled and stopped looking at him.
Old lady Elsa was looking on with a smile on her face, what a twisted and sweet little couple!
Mrs Casey’s face was so dark that she could have dripped ink. She didn’t dare to refute old lady Elsa’s words just now, but even if she dared to refute, old lady Elsa could probably use even sharper words to block her speechless, what kind of person is old lady Elsa? That is a lifetime in the shopping mall to kill four quadrilateral achievement out of the legendary figure, now the Charlie Group is not still by her management? Who is she to disobey her? How dare she?
Now, Blanche Capra and York Charlie are having fun with each other in front of her, Mrs Casey feels that the air blocked in her chest by the old lady Elsa is getting heavier and heavier and heavier, and she feels that she is going to pass out again!
