Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO - Chapter 289
Seeing her daughter-in-law’s behavior, Grandma took a deep breath. Then rubbed Claire’s head, smoothing the woman’s hair which looked very messy.
“Okay. I hope so. I’m sorry, honey. I didn’t notice where you were,” said Grandma.
Claire just nodded weakly. To be honest, she was still too shocked by what had happened, she never expected that Byanca would suddenly appear and threaten her like before.
“Come on, calm down first, honey,” Grandma said then slowly led Claire out of the toilet, not forgetting to hold Dave’s hand to keep him walking beside her.
“I don’t know what that evil woman did, you must be very shocked,” said Grandma without stopping her steps.
Grandma then entered a well-known clothing store and was immediately greeted by the manager.
“Madam, how can I help you?” asked the manager.
“May I borrow your waiting room for a moment?” Grandma said.
“Oh, of course, madam. Please come with me,” said the female manager, inviting Grandma. They then entered a room that was not too large, but the atmosphere inside was very comfortable.
To be honest, the manager was curious. However, she did not dare to ask because it was none of her business. All she needed to do was serve them the best she could, whether they were going to shop at her shop or not, it’s no problem.
“Do you need anything else?” asked the manager, always maintaining her polite and friendly demeanor.
“May I have a glass of water?”
“All right, wait a minute, madam. I’ll get it for you,” said the Manager and then said goodbye and left the room.
Grandma took a deep breath. Looking at Claire’s still pale face, her feelings couldn’t calm down.
While on the other hand, Dave was silent. he had no idea what was going on. All he knows is his mother fell in the toilet and now needs rest.
“Mom, should I call Dad and pick you up here?” Dave asked suddenly, climbing over to the sofa and sitting next to his mother. Looked into her eyes without blinking.
“No need honey, your mother is fine. She just needs to rest, right dear?” Grandma asked a little nervously. She didn’t want Devan to know about this incident and be angry with her for not taking good care of Claire.
“Yes, Grandma. I’m fine,” the woman said, nodding.
Knock… knock… knock…
There was a knock on the door. Along with the store manager walking in. In one hand was a bottle of mineral water.
“Please, madam,” said the manager, bowing slightly.
“Erm, thanks. You can leave now,” Grandma replied as she grabbed the bottle and handed it to Claire.
“Well, then I’ll excuse you. If you still need anything, you can look for me outside, madam,” said the manager.
“Okay, thanks again.”
“You’re welcome, madam,” replied the store manager and said goodbye.
Grandma just nodded then turned to Claire, “Drink, honey,” said Grandma.
The woman did not give any response, just nodded and drank the water that was handed to her.
“I’ll have someone buy some medicine for the bruise on your hand later, honey.”
“No need, Grandma. It’s okay, I’m fine.”
“No. Don’t refuse, honey. I’ll do anything for your good,” Grandma replied as she stroked Claire’s hair gently.
Hearing that, Claire had no choice and finally obeyed Grandma’s words. “Okay, Grandma. It’s up to you. Do whatever you like,” said Claire again.
Grandma smiled at Claire’s answer.
“When you feel a little better, we return to the hotel,” Grandma said. She visited the shopping center because she wanted to buy a Necklace for Claire as a gift from her. Also wants to take her grandson to play in the timezone until he is satisfied. However, this kind of incident had never occurred to her before.
It seemed, she would take Claire and Dave with her another time.
Hearing Grandma’s words, Claire just nodded.
“Then wait for me here for a moment dear,” said Grandma and stood up.
“Dave, you have to look after your mother,” she added.
“Where are you going, Grandma?” Dave asked as he got off the couch.
“I’m not going anywhere. I just wanted to do something outside. You guys wait for me here,” said Grandma.
Dave nodded, “Okay Grandma. Don’t worry. I will take care of my mother,” said the boy.
As for Claire, the woman had been silent ever since. The image of Byanca pulling her hair and pulling a knife out of her pocket couldn’t be erased from her memory. Honestly, hearing the woman’s words, Claire felt a little scared.
“Mom, Mom… Can’t you hear me?” Dave’s voice suddenly broke her focus.
Claire gasped “What’s wrong honey? Do you want something?” asked Claire.
“I’ve been talking to you since earlier, Mom. But you just kept quiet, are you mad at me because I left you earlier?” asked Dave with a gloomy face.
“No, honey. I’m not mad at all. You’re innocent, don’t apologize, OK?” Claire replied, then lifted Dave’s body and carried him on her lap.
“Really? Then why have you been silent since earlier?”
“I was just thinking about something, honey. Don’t worry,” Claire replied and kissed her son’s forehead.
“OK. if you say like that, I won’t worry anymore,” Dave replied then leaned on his mother’s chest.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll protect you if someone tries to hurt you,” Dave said again, and it managed to make Claire feel touched.
Even at such a young age, Dave already had the desire to protect her. Instantly tears pooled at the corners of her eyelids. She was touched and felt very lucky to have a son like Dave.
“Yes, honey. Thank you,” said Claire.
“You’re welcome, Mom,” Dave replied shortly.
A few minutes later, Grandma came back with several tote bags dangling in each hand.
“What did you bring, Grandma?” Dave asked curiously.
“I bought some dresses and hair accessories for Claire at this shop, honey,” Grandma answered. She didn’t want to return to the hotel empty-handed, so she decided to buy some dresses and hair accessories for Claire at the shop where they were now.
“You bought a dress for me again, Grandma?”
“That’s right, honey.”
“This morning Grandma already gave me ….”
“Don’t refuse.. I even want to buy everything in this shop for you, honey.”
