Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Learn How to Turn Over a New Leaf Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Learn How to Turn Over a New Leaf Alitzel Williams fiddled with her fingers, seemingly casual but with a stern expression, and countered, “What do you think?”
Christopher Lewis pressed his lips together.
Alitzel Williams sighed lightly, “Fine, Little Hope, go in with Mommy; the old man is waiting for you. He said if soone doesn’t admit their mistake today, they’ll stand at the door and face the northwest wind.”
Hope Williams imdiately understood the old man’s intention.
Christopher clenched his molars, “Wait.”
Alitzel Williams and Hope Williams halted in their tracks as Alitzel Williams gave Hope Williams a look.
Christopher hesitated, opened his mouth and then closed it again, sighing heavily and tightening his face.
Alitzel Williams looked at him and felt more uncomfortable than if she had been constipated for three days.
She simply grabbed Hope Williams, ready to leave.
“Wait, hey!” In a rush, Christopher imdiately said, “I was too much before…”
“What did you say?” Alitzel Williams raised her head and leaned an ear towards him, “You reincarnated from a mosquito? You didn’t have this attitude when you were driving people away.”
Hope Williams pursed her lips, about to speak, but Alitzel Williams stopped her with a look.
Hope Williams knew the old man’s and Alitzel Williams’s intentions, but since Christopher was having such a hard ti, she didn’t care about his apology.
Christopher let out a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Hope Williams, “I was too rash before. Don’t take it to heart, my apologies to you… If you want to co back ho, you can…”
“Mhm,” Hope Williams nodded indifferently.
“Hm? I’ve already said this much, and you just respond with a ‘hm’?” Christopher felt that Hope Williams was brushing him off, fearing that she would complain to the old man after going in.
“What else, should I be crying tears of gratitude and thanking you profusely for stooping to apologize to ?” Hope Williams asked with an even tone.
Christopher grinded his molars, “Enough, enough, don’t play the ingrate.”
Hope Williams lifted her eyebrows slightly, saying nothing.
Alitzel Williams’s face turned displeased, “I will make sure to describe your way of apologizing to the old man.”
“What do you want from ! I’m a senior apologizing to a junior, what more do you want?”
“Don’t you think you were wrong?”
“I did everything for the sake of the Lewis Family.”
Alitzel Williams nodded with deep aning, “Since Vivia Fuller is so great and has put in effort for the Lewis Family, why don’t you marry her and stop her from harming my son and daughter-in-law?”
“Can’t you speak properly?” Christopher was nearly driven mad by Alitzel Williams.
“What? Am I not being open-minded?” Alitzel Williams asked coldly.
“Little Hope, Luke, Willow, let’s go and have dinner,” Alitzel said, no longer wasting words on Christopher.
His way of thinking was deeply ingrained and beyond help.
“Bad grandpa! The bad grandpa who bullies Mommy, the bad grandpa who bullies grandma,” Willow’s chubby little face turned red with anger as her big, black, gem-like eyes glared at Christopher.
Luke put on a serious face, “I suggest that the bad grandpa learn from daddy how to nd his ways.”
nd his ways?
“Exactly, daddy has nded his ways now, bad grandpa better hurry up and ask daddy for advice, otherwise don’t wait until grandma leaves in a huff and bad grandpa regrets it.”
“I’m not talking to bad grandpa anymore, hmm Willow, let’s go.” Luke took Willow’s little hand and caught up with Hope Williams and Alitzel Williams.
Christopher lifted his finger, wanting to say sothing but was unable to speak.
Having received cold looks from the whole family these past few days, all because of that incident, Christopher felt bitter.
“Great-grandpa!” Luke and Willow flung themselves at the old man, making him so happy he couldn’t stop grinning.
The old man imdiately opened his arms to welco the two little darlings’ embrace, “Oh Luke, Willow, let great-grandpa give you a hug.”
Hope Williams watched the scene with a gentle smile, “Grandpa.”
“Welco back, it’s good to be back,” the old man’s mood lifted seeing Hope Williams, Luke, and Willow, squinting his eyes and glancing towards the door as he asked Alitzel Williams, “Where’s that brainless one?”
“He’s probably still reflecting at the door.” No sooner had Alitzel Williams finished speaking than the brainless one walked in with a sullen face.
The old man harrumphed heavily, “Did you apologize to Little Hope?”
Christopher kept a tense face, “Mhm.”
“Little Hope?” The old man looked at Hope Williams for confirmation.
Christopher looked towards Hope Williams, his eyes showing a hint of nervousness.
Hope Williams felt Christopher’s gaze, turned back to the old man and smiled gently, “It’s in the past.”
aning that Hope Williams has turned the page on the matter and has forgiven Christopher.
Christopher breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did the old man nod his head in satisfaction.
“Dad.” Isaiah Lewis ca over with his family.
Hope Williams turned her head slightly and saw Isaiah Lewis’s family; Isaiah still had scars on his face and limped when walking, it seems he wasn’t treated lightly by Waylon Lewis last ti.
Isaiah Lewis glared at Hope Williams with a cold, resentful look; hostility flashed in his eyes but quickly vanished, and he smiled in front of the old man, “Dad, we ca to see you.”
The old man saw his eldest son’s family and his deanor beca a shade darker without showing it, “Mhm.”
Seeing the old man not giving them a warm welco, Isaiah Lewis and his family of three kept making faces to each other.
Hope Williams noticed all their subtle movents.
“Little Hope, why isn’t Waylon back yet?” The old man looked at Hope Williams to ask.
“He’s been called; the company is a bit busy, he will be a little bit late,” Hope Williams explained.
“Mm, and what about Wyatt? I heard that kid has been around the company lately, did he cause trouble?” The old man frowned, not pleased with so of the rumors reaching his ears.
Hope Williams smiled slightly and stepped forward, “Wyatt has been at the company recently, but he hasn’t stirred up any trouble, you can rest assured about that. Right now, I’m not quite sure where he is.”
She couldn’t very well say that Wyatt Lewis was probably hiding outside to avoid being spotted by Waylon Lewis and getting beaten up again.
