Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

Matthew also smiled and said to Blanca, “Grandpa said you are sweet and nice.”

Blanca came to her sensed, said thank you and smiled. She felt relieved that this grandpa seemed very kind.

She looked at the old man’s work and flattered, “That is great!”

The old man thought she was just flattering him. After all, few young women were interested in oil painting now. He wanted to tease her and asked, “How come? Explain it for me, please?”

Seeing that he was testing her, she went to the table and gave a professional comment on his work, which impressed the old man.

“Very well. You’ve learned about oil painting before?”

Blanca shook her head and said, “My neighbor is a master of oil painting. I used to hang out in his place all the time, which is why I know a few things about it.”

The neighbor she mentioned was indeed a master of oil painting. He got into trouble with some bad guys so he fled to the slum. Blanca had never gone to school but that neighbor taught her a lot.

Matthew was quite surprised to hear that from Blanca. He didn’t expect her to know so much about painting.

They stayed in his study for about ten minutes and then Mr. Johnson came to say that dinner was ready. Then they went downstairs with grandpa. When Wilbert came, his wife Carrie ran to him and cried, “Honey, you have to do something!”

“What?”

“That girl Matthew brought home was rude to me! She said that I’m a gold digger and that I stink!”

“Really? She dared to say that to you?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Wilbert lived with Carrie for more than a decade. He knew her personality and could tell that she was exaggerating.

“Yes! She isn’t one of us yet and she dares to treat me like that! How could I expect her to respect me in the future!”

“I think she is a nice girl. She wouldn’t do such things.”

Carried was even more angry hearing that, “You don’t believe me? She was a thief! We can’t trust her!”

“Really?”

“Yeah! Look!”

Carrie showed him the news that Blanca admitted at the press conference that she stole money for her grandmother’s treatment.

When he finished reading, he smiled, “I think she’s a brave girl with a big heart. I don’t care what other people think of her. Since she and Matthew got married, she’s one of us now. Water under the bridge now. Don’t bring this up again.”

Carrie frowned and her face was twisted because of rage.

She couldn’t imagine that such a strict and stern person would be so tolerant.

That Blanca was absolutely bad news.

Right now, she saw Blanca was helping grandpa walk the stairs. She was so outrageous that her eyes almost popped out of head. But she couldn’t say anything since Wilbert was also here.

The dinner went great for Blanca.

She was outgoing and grandpa really liked her. So, she had a friendly conversation with him.

As for Wilbert who was always so serious, Blanca treated him very politely and kindly. No one would have thought that she was rude to her mother-in-law before.

Louise kept poking the food on her palate and could do nothing about Blanca.

Seeing that Blanca was having a good time with grandpa and Louise couldn’t do anything about the situation, Carrie didn’t know what to do.

Her daughter couldn’t even do anything to this Blanca, and what’s worse, she didn’t even know how to make her own grandpa happy. All in all, this dinner went terrible for Carrie and Louise.

After dinner, Wilbert left the table and went back to his study. Grandpa was sitting in the living room and chatting with Blanca and Matthew.

Carrie couldn’t take it anymore and told her daughter something.

After hearing what her mother said, Louise’s eyes flickered with mischief. She bit her lips, nodded and returned to the living room.
