Chapter 110
Stella snapped out of her daze and hurried to prepare some tea. She was just surprised by Alfred’s imposing aura. He really was a formidable figure riddled with years of experience.
“Here’s your tea, Grandpa!” Stella handed the tea over,
Alfred took it and sipped slowly. “Wasn’t I cool just now?”
Stella thought she had misheard and tilted her head slightly. “What?”
“I just taught that homewrecker a lesson for you. Wasn’t I cool?” Alfred calmly repeated himself.
Stella answered honestly, “Yes, you were!”
“You don’t need to be afraid of her. Her child may not even be Brian’s,” Alfred reminded her..
Stella pondered. “If it’s not, why would she dare lie to everyone? Isn’t she afraid of her lie being exposed?”
“What do you know?” Alfred picked up a lollipop from her desk and started eating it. “She wants to take over your title before coming to power herself. By the time she is pregnant with Brian’s child, who will care if the current one is his?”
What a bold move!
Stella gasped at Alfred, who was enjoying the lollipop. Hey! Grandpa, you have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, You can’t eat lollipops.”
“It’s just one.” Alfred popped the lollipop into his mouth. “I haven’t had one in a long time.”
Stella was speechless. “You said the same thing last time when you snuck a piece of cake.”
Alfred was a foodie. Stella first discovered this side of him when she caught him sneaking into the kitchen late at night to eat her cake. When she found him, he pouted pitifully and said, “I haven’t had one in a long time.”
Stella relented that day and let him eat it. But the next day, she got a severe scolding from her mother–in- law. From then on, she knew Alfred had a lot of medical complications, and it wasn’t that the Foley family didn’t want to give him these treats. He simply couldn’t have them.
“Grandpa, you really can’t eat this.” Stella tried to stop him.
Alfred glared at her. “Don’t be so stingy. It’s just one. By the way, tell Brian I’ll be staying at your house tonight.”
“What?” Stella was even more shocked, “Grandpa, you’re staying at our house?”
“Am I not welcome?” His eyes darkened.
Stella shrank back in fear. “No, you’re more than welcome.”
Since Alfred wanted to stay at Yolvencrest Estate, Stella sneaked into the bathroom to call Brian. “Hey, Brian, Grandpa suddenly came to the studio to see me. He said he wants to stay at our place tonight.”
“Why did he suddenly go to Starlight Couture?” Brian asked.
Stella shook her head. “I don’t know. He said he wanted to see my workplace.”
Brian gave it a thought and said calmly, “Have Yvonne prepare some food suitable for him.”
“Wait. That’s it?” Stella was taken aback.
“What else? Are you going to chase him away?” Brian huffed.
“Of course not. Stella would never chase Alfred away. She quite liked him since he was the only one in the family who never targeted her.
Following Brian’s instructions, Stella called Yvonne and told her to prepare some suitable dishes for Alfred.
When she returned to the office, Alfred sat in her chair, looking at her design drafts. When he saw her return, he glanced at her and remarked, “Not bad, Stella These clothes you drew are quite nice.”
Stella laughed. “What do you know about design, Grandpa?”
“Hey, I used to be a businessman, so I have to possess an eye for talent. Since I’m here, why don’t you take my measurements and make me a suit?” Alfred insisted on having a suit made.
Stella agreed.
