Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Aunt Nine_1
Just then, Louisa Burley ca out from inside, smiling and asking, “Where did you go to look for the grill?”
“Ah, I found it.”
Greg Jensen’s body shuddered, and he quickly turned around, moving toward Louisa Burley, “Why did you co out? It’s windy outside, stay inside the house, I’ll call you when everything’s ready.”
Looking at the beautiful woman who erged from the doorway, and then at Greg Jensen’s eager deanor, Carn Stuart’s face instantly fell.
Did Barry Wolfe mistake for that kind of woman?
Carn Stuart subconsciously looked down at her own clothes, “Schoolgirl outfit, pure and cute, no problem, right?”
Barry Wolfe!
She snapped back to reality, looked up, but saw that Barry Wolfe had already left, and her anger flared up, her teeth grinding audibly.
“Barry Wolfe, you son of a bitch, I dressed up so cute, how could I be that kind of woman?”
Carn Stuart was so angry her face turned ashen. Suddenly, she rembered that when Barry Wolfe saw her, he first asked if it was the address given by Trent Preston, and she had a mont of realization—it must have been Trent Preston’s fault.
She picked up the phone and dialed Trent Preston, yelling into it:
“Trent Preston, you idiot, what dirty business do you have with Barry Wolfe?”
Trent Preston was confused, “Miss Stuart, what… what do you an by that?”
“What do I an? I want to ask you the sa thing!”
Carn Stuart gritted her teeth, “Why didn’t you let Barry Wolfe know in advance that I was coming to town?”
“You didn’t tell to say it.”
Trent Preston said with a wry smile, “I actually wanted to, but I was afraid you wouldn’t like it.”
“I…”
So it’s my fault now?
Carn Stuart was at a loss for words, choked with anger.
Trent Preston carefully asked, “Miss Stuart, should I… give Mr. Wolfe a call now?”
There was silence on the phone.
Trent Preston held his breath instinctively, his heart rising to his throat.
After a long while, a sigh finally ca through the phone, and Carn Stuart tried to speak calmly, “Forget it, you don’t need to handle this.”
“Alright, call if you need anything.”
“Wait!”
Just as Trent Preston was about to hang up, Carn Stuart suddenly spoke up to stop him:
“I warn you, don’t tell anyone that I ca to town looking for Barry Wolfe, do you hear ?”
“Ah?”
“Did you hear ?”
Carn Stuart asked sternly.
Trent Preston shivered, hurriedly saying, “Please rest assured, Miss Stuart, I’ll keep it to myself. Even if the ssage gets out, it won’t be from .”
“Hmm.”
Carn Stuart hung up the phone, turned her head to look back at the villa with an angry huff, and then stord off.
Given the situation, even if she went inside to clarify things with Barry Wolfe, it would only lead to embarrassnt for both parties. She had to wait for things to die down before addressing it.
This fruitless trip, coupled with being mistaken for a woman of ill repute, left Carn Stuart’s mood extrely sour.
Just as she didn’t know how to vent her frustration, the phone rang again.
Carn Stuart picked up her cellphone irritably, but her expression softened when she saw the caller ID. She answered the call, drawing out her voice, “Auntie…”
“Oh, why do you sound so aggrieved? What happened?”
Fearing that her aunt would ask about the negotiation, Carn Stuart hurriedly said, “Nothing much, just feeling a little under the weather.”
Auntie Stuart was very fond of her niece and would typically ask about her health with concern.
However, today Auntie Stuart seed preoccupied. Ignoring Carn Stuart’s words, she changed the subject and asked, “Carn, how did it go with Barry Wolfe’s matter?”
“Nothing… nothing much.”
Carn Stuart stamred.
The ninth sister imdiately sensed sothing was off and asked curiously, “What happened?”
“Nothing.”
“You little liar, have you learned to tell fibs?”
Carn Stuart said sowhat frantically, “Ninth Aunt, it’s really nothing, please don’t ask.”
The ninth sister spoke sternly, “Carn, Barry Wolfe’s matter concerns the martial arts competition across seven provinces; this is not sothing to joke about.”
“Ninth Aunt, it’s not my fault, I… I hadn’t finished talking when he just…”
Carn Stuart, feeling helpless and aggrieved, went over the incident once more, and after hearing it, the ninth sister suddenly fell silent.
“Ninth Aunt, it’s really not my fault…”
Carn Stuart was feeling a bit guilty and was about to explain when suddenly a burst of laughter exploded from the phone.
A bashful red instantly climbed up her cheeks.
She said resentfully, “Ninth aunt, you’re laughing!”
“Haha, alright, I’ll stop laughing.”
The ninth sister tried to suppress her laughter and said, “This Barry Wolfe really lives up to his reputation as a charr.”
“Hmph, I think he’s just a lecher!” Carn Stuart retorted.
“You can’t really bla Barry Wolfe for this; who asked you to go knocking on his door so recklessly?”
The ninth sister teased, “You should have contacted him through soone you know first, or better yet have a mutual acquaintance take you, instead of going on your own.”
“I didn’t think that much at the ti, I just wanted to finish the talk quickly so I could get back,” Carn Stuart said, feeling wronged.
The ninth sister teased, “You going there so bluntly doesn’t look like you were there for a talk.”
Carn Stuart asked subconsciously, “Then what does it look like?”
“Haha, it looks more like a pregnant kid going to negotiate with the official wife.”
“Ninth Aunt, I… I’m not talking to you anymore!”
“Hahaha.”
Another round of hearty laughter echoed through the phone.
Carn Stuart’s face was as red as blood, so embarrassed that her face burned; thinking of that annoying face, she couldn’t help but feel different emotions stirring within her.
“Fine, leave this matter to , I’ll handle it myself when I get back.”
“Alright, I got it.”
Carn Stuart reminded, “Do I need to give a heads-up about Uncle Seventh?”
Upon hearing her ntion Uncle Seventh, the ninth sister’s voice beca much more serious and she calmly said:
“You, as a junior, shouldn’t get involved; it’s not suitable for you to go. It might only make your aunt upset.
After all, they are grieving a death. If they can’t hold back, let them create a fuss.
If Barry Wolfe can’t handle this little trouble, then he’s not worth my attention.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Carn Stuart agreed reluctantly, but the thought of being misunderstood by Barry Wolfe still upset her greatly.
She couldn’t hold back her complaint, “Ninth Aunt, are we just going to let his misunderstanding of go?”
The ninth sister laughed and said, “Silly child, the more you try to explain, the murkier it gets; it’s better to let things take their course. When you et again on a different occasion, he’ll know he misunderstood you, and he’ll feel naturally guilty.
Isn’t that better than an awkward confrontation now?”
Upon hearing this, Carn Stuart felt that Ninth Aunt was right and a smile crept onto her lips as she muttered:
“Wait until we et again, I’ll scare you to death, hmph!”
Greg Jensen had no idea that the Stuart Family had already sent soone to see him, and even less that he had mistaken that person for that kind of girl.
At that mont, he was sitting by the grill, holding a bowl and brushing sauce over the lamb.
