Chapter 498: 496 is attracted to a man, probably going crazy
Zoe thought her husband was very strange. Michale got beaten up, and as friends, rather than being concerned, he just laughed. But she didn’t think much about it, as sumr had already set in, the weather was really hot, and with her pregnancy showing, she felt heavier and heavier.
Unable to sleep at night, she went to the Incense Making Room to make so incense pellets.
William Hale was sitting nearby, handling so work matters, when his phone vibrated. It was a ssage from Michale:
[Hale, what should I do?]
[Did Grandpa Shaw find out about the fight?]
[He doesn’t know.]
[Then what is it…]
[I’m just afraid of Grandpa finding out, so I don’t dare to go to the hospital. In the end… he took ho.]
William chuckled softly, [And then?]
[Hale, I don’t know why, but when he stares at , I get the creeps. I’m just letting you know, if you can’t reach , call the police.]
[It won’t co to that, he just doesn’t like you, he’s not going to kill you.]
At this mont, as Michale finished texting, the Carter family’s private doctor arrived, gave him a quick check, “Soft tissue contusion, no other issues. Just apply so ointnt and take so anti-inflammatory dication.”
“But I feel so sore all over.” Michale frowned.
Young Master Carter sneered lightly, “Such a big man, being this delicate.”
“Delicate? If you have the guts, try taking a couple of punches.”
“Who told you to be so reckless.”
“Reckless? Wasn’t it all because of you? You have no heart.”
Michale felt aggrieved, “It’s all because of my strong sense of justice. I can’t stand those people dressed like proper gentlen but spewing filthy words all day long, their heads full of obscene junk.”
“If it weren’t for you, would I be in this situation? If my grandpa finds out, he’d break my legs.”
…
A certain soone sitting on the sofa rubbed his temples and looked at the doctor, “Do you have any dicine that can shut him up?”
“Poison him mute?”
Michale imdiately shut up, and his phone started vibrating again in a gossip group, [….These few people said they hadn’t even gotten ho yet and got mugged, their valuables were all stolen, they got beaten up, and their mouths were swollen.]
[WTF, who did it, clearly soone is behind this.]
[Don’t know, heard one person got kicked pretty badly down there and was sent to the City Second Hospital for ergency treatnt, hilarious.]
Michale glanced at his phone, then looked towards the person admiring the jellyfish.
This wasn’t the Carter family mansion; it was his own place.
In the large living room, there was a jellyfish wall, blue background, red jellyfish, and he was drinking white tea, just standing there quietly appreciating them, giving off a dreamlike yet eerie vibe.
Michale was startled, yet couldn’t take his eyes off.
Until the doctor finished applying the dicine, he coughed, “Those people… did you send soone to beat them up?”
“You did.”
“What do you an?”
“Young Master Shaw always has a proud and domineering deanor, never willing to suffer losses, so they’ll just assu it was you.”
Michale imdiately got angry, rushed up to his face. If not for hearing those people badmouthing him, he wouldn’t have gotten into a fight, yet now still get into trouble. But as he got closer, that already beautiful face of his, under the blue lighting, had a captivating allure.
It stunned him for a mont.
A big man, why be so good-looking?
Long eyelashes,
Mouth still so rosy.
Under such an eerie light, that androgynous face was heart-stirring.
Michale took a deep breath:
Are you crazy!
Heart racing just staring at a man?
You’re done for!
“What’s wrong?” he smiled, making him even more alluring.
Michale looked away, coughed.
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any traces left.”
What Michale worried about wasn’t this. Even if they thought he did it, those few wouldn’t dare do anything to him. He just didn’t expect this seemingly aloof, high-and-mighty guy of the Carter family, who seed unbothered with the world.
To act like this in private.
But it did help him vent his anger.
“There’s sothing I want to discuss with you.” Michale cleared his throat.
“Go ahead.”
“All this happened because of you. Now my face is injured, going ho might get beaten by my grandpa.”
“You’re this old, Old Shaw would still hit you?” As if hearing a joke.
“In front of him, I’ll always be his grandson, so…”
“I’ll book a hotel for you.”
Michale froze for a mont.
He intended to stay with him for a few days, after all staying outside, nosy people could pass ssages to his grandpa.
Then, soone drank his tea, and directed the bodyguards to “escort” him out, even booked a hotel room for him.
The next day,
Michale got summoned back by his grandpa.
“Michale, you’re truly my good grandson. Every ti you do things, you exceed my expectations. Getting drunk and forcibly kissing a man, now fighting for a man, you’ve truly made progress.”
“Grandpa, I was acting out of chivalry, speaking out for justice, how did it beco twisted in your mouth?”
“Shut up!”
The old man was sowhat angry at his lack of ambition. Hearing from Old Sir Hale, Finn planned to get engaged to his girlfriend around Qixi Festival. Not long after, William was going to be a father, yet his own…
Went fighting?
Really, quite an achievent.
Michale felt his old man was particularly angry, probably going to put him under house arrest for a few days. He originally wanted to find William, to hide at the Hale Family for a few days, but the servant said soone was visiting. When asked who, it was said to be the Carter family.
Brought so gifts, saying in these tis, everyone fears trouble, soone with Michale’s pure heart, willing to stand up for others, was rare. So they brought gifts to express their gratitude.
This move from the Carter family made Old Shaw feel pleased.
So he stopped giving Michale a hard ti.
Michale thought that kid from the Carter family wasn’t bad, wanted to thank him, but couldn’t find contact information. Looked for Tim, tried adding on WeChat, but the request was never accepted, truly aloof.
Next ti they t, it was at Finn Hale’s engagent party.
——
Before Qixi Festival, Finn proposed to Sussie Lopez.
The location was abroad, so no one was there in person, just knew it was on a hot air balloon, with local photographers capturing the whole event.
Old Sir Hale later asked him: “If the proposal had failed, what were you going to do? Still on the hot air balloon, no way to escape, no place to hide, how awkward.”
“Then I wouldn’t let her co down.”
Everyone: “…..”
That sounded like Finn Hale’s style.
Before the engagent banquet, the Hale family formally t with Sussie Lopez’s parents.
That day, Old Sir Hale even took out his treasured Zhongshan suit, though the fit wasn’t quite right, Wyatt directly said, “Grandpa, is this really your suit? Why are the pants a bit long?”
“Or has your body shrunk?”
The old man angrily picked up his cane, chased him around the yard.
William stopped him, “Grandpa, it’s a happy day, not suitable for seeing blood.”
Wyatt appreciated his big brother’s help, only to hear him say, “Confiscate his allowance for three months as punishnt.”
In an instant, Wyatt felt his world was collapsing.
