Chapter 558: Chapter 558: A Disaster that Lasts a Thousand Years
“I was just about to talk to you about this,” Jade Bell raised her voice a notch to underscore her joy at the mont.
“A month ago, Luna’s bone marrow match was a success, and she just ca out of the dical isolation a week ago. The doctors said she’s recovering very well and will be discharged from the hospital soon. The only thing is that the donor has chosen to remain anonymous and doesn’t want to reveal their identity, otherwise we really should express our gratitude to them.”
Hope Williams’ delicate brows slightly lifted, with a faint emotion at the bottom of her eyes.
“Now that things are moving in a good direction, grandma can rest easy. Grandma also hopes that you two sisters can forget past grievances; let bygones be bygones. Luna also said she’s sorry for what she did to you before. Little Hope, can you forgive her?”
Hope Williams slightly lowered her gaze, “Grandma, so things can’t just be brushed off with an apology. I’ll attend your birthday banquet on ti, but I have other matters, so I’ll leave it at that.”
After finishing, Hope Williams hung up the phone.
Aria Richardson returned with the two little ones after buying ice cream cake, just in ti to see Hope Williams put down her phone.
“Hope, who was that?”
Hope Williams exhaled softly, “My grandma.”
“It’s that old lady from the Williams Family again. What does she want from you? She’s not asking for your help again, is she?”
“No, it’s about Grandma’s 80th birthday banquet. She asked to attend. I couldn’t refuse. Grandma also ntioned that Luna Williams had a successful match a month ago.”
Aria furrowed her brows, “Oh, what’s this? A pestilence that lasts a thousand years?”
Hope Williams touched her lips lightly, “No matter her pestilence of a thousand years, it’s fine as long as she doesn’t bother .”
“Alright, let’s not think about her. Let’s go shop for so pretty clothes, and prepare a few more outfits for the baby in your belly.”
Thinking about the baby in Hope Williams’ belly excited Aria Richardson. In a few more months, she would be a godmother again.
The two shopped the entire afternoon, reaping a rich harvest. The bodyguards followed them, arms full of big and small shopping bags, escaping none.
“I’m happy today, Hope. Let’s go have a al before we head back. It’s been a while since we dined out…”
Aria didn’t finish her sentence, because just then a man dressed in a suit passed by.
“Madam, Miss Richardson, young master, little miss.”
“Thomas Hughes, what brings you here?” Hope Williams was a bit surprised.
Thomas Hughes spoke respectfully, “The Boss has co to pick you up.”
Hope Williams lifted her head only to see the Rolls-Royce not far away, its car door opening to reveal a tall figure stepping out.
Clad in a bespoke high-end suit and a black overcoat.
His deep-set features stunning, an air of nobility about him that was captivating. rely standing there, he commanded a powerful presence.
Such a man was too dazzling.
People coming and going in the mall couldn’t help but give him a few extra glances.
Aria snorted lightly; it seed like her dinner plans were going down the drain.
This man, she had only borrowed his wife for a few hours, and now he had followed them to the mall.
Next ti she would have to take his wife even further away.
As Aria was thinking this, she saw several stylishly dressed young won with their cellphones walking shyly towards Waylon Lewis.
Whatever they said to Waylon Lewis, his brows furrowed in response.
“Luke, Willow, soone is trying to steal your mommy’s husband,” Aria muttered under her breath.
Smart as Luke and Willow were, the two little ones got the hint imdiately and started running towards Waylon Lewis.
“Daddy!”
“Daddy! Daddy!”
Luke and Willow rushed over, one on each side, hugging Waylon Lewis’ legs while continuously calling out for daddy.
The expressions on the faces of the two young ladies stiffened, and they quickly apologized and hurriedly left.
Waylon Lewis looked down at the two little ones with a curved smile at the corner of his mouth.
Hope Williams approached Waylon Lewis with a tender smile in her eyes, “How did you know I was out shopping?”
Waylon Lewis looked at the gentle woman before him, reaching out to lightly stroke her head, “What else would she co to you for if not to shop?”
Aria popped out from the side, not happy with this comnt that seed to imply she was only good for shopping and spending money.
“Who only knows how to shop?”
Waylon Lewis chuckled, “Then you tell , what else do you know how to do?”
“… Don’t underestimate , I know plenty…”
“Eat, drink, play, you’re proficient in all, right? Looks like I underestimated your capabilities.”
It seems like she had been subtly mocked.
“You… Hope, he! He’s being sarcastic to …”
Waylon Lewis, with Hope Williams in his arms, proudly said, “Complaining to my wife about ? My wife is always biased towards .”
Hope Williams pressed her lips together into a smile, reached out to wrap her arm around Aria Richardson’s, “I’ll go back and scold him.”
Aria Richardson, leaning into Hope Williams, wiped fake tears with feigned emotion, “Hope, true sisters!”
Waylon Lewis darkened his face and pulled his wife back into his embrace.
“Keep shopping or head ho?”
“I was planning to go out to eat with Aria…”
“Let her eat by herself.”
Aria Richardson, “…”
She knew it would be like this.
Hope Williams turned to look at Aria Richardson, “Aria, why don’t you co to our place for dinner, I’ll have the kitchen prepare more of what you like.”
Waylon Lewis gave Aria Richardson a nonchalant glance.
Aria Richardson gritted her teeth. She didn’t want to be constantly swept by his gaze.
“…No thanks, you two go back. We’ll gather another ti.”
Aria Richardson stealthily glanced at Waylon Lewis, muttering in her heart, next ti I’ll lure your wife far away, make you unable to find her!
“You guys should get going, I drove here, I’ll head back by myself.”
Hope Williams checked on the two, “Alright then, drive safely back ho.”
“Mm, will do.”
Upon returning ho, Hope Williams inford Waylon Lewis about Jade Bell’s eightieth birthday celebration.
Waylon Lewis’s expression remained calm as he nodded, “What’s the date?”
“About five days from now.”
“Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
Hope Williams turned her head to look at him, “I thought for a mont you might object to going.”
Waylon Lewis smiled faintly, his eyes filled with tenderness, “She is your grandmother. As it’s her eightieth birthday and she has invited you, there’s no reason for you not to attend. Why would I stop you? I’ll go with you.”
“Mommy, we want to go too.”
Hope and Luke’s large eyes twinkled with anticipation.
Hope Williams smiled, ruffling their fluffy heads, “Of course, you can.”
Two little faces lit up with joy, perhaps they were extra happy to get out and play after being cooped up at ho for too long.
…
City A.
After several busy days, Waylon Lewis managed to squeeze out two days and the family of four arrived in City A a day early, staying in a villa that Waylon previously purchased here.
They arrived at noon and in the afternoon, they received a call from Jade Bell.
Hope Williams put down what she was working on, sat on the sofa, and answered the call.
“Grandmother.”
“Little Hope, have you arrived in City A?”
“Yes, we’re here.”
Jade Bell’s voice was filled with joy, “That’s wonderful, where are you? Grandmother has prepared rooms for you at ho, I’ll send soone to pick you up.”
Hope Williams declined, “No need, Grandmother, we’re fine staying outside, Waylon has bought a villa here.”
Jade Bell sounded a bit disappointed, but upon hearing Hope Williams speak like that, she had to let it go, “Alright then, Little Hope, is it convenient for Grandmother to co see you now?”
“Co to see ?” Hope Williams bit her lip, “Do you have sothing you need? If you do, I can co to you.”
“No, don’t worry, Grandmother will co to you.”
Hope Williams involuntarily paused for a second, and reluctantly gave Jade Bell the address.
After hanging up the call, Waylon Lewis happened to co out of the bathroom carrying both of the little ones.
Waylon Lewis, wearing just a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, revealing a section of his sturdy arms, with one kid in each arm, had both kids wrapped up in bath towels like little caterpillars, all the while chuckling non-stop.
“Quiet down,” Waylon Lewis said with a furrowed brow and a hint of helplessness, tossing the two little ones onto the bed.
