Chapter 561: Chapter 561: What a Coincidence_1
gan Hall parked the car, glanced at Greg Jensen, and suddenly burst into laughter, “Oh, you don’t need to be so nervous, my grandpa and my uncles are all very easy-going.”
“Alright, I get it.”
Greg secretly cursed himself for overthinking. Perhaps they didn’t even know who he was.
He shook his head, slapped his arm, and gan happily ran over, hooked his arm, and walked towards the villa.
“Kid, that’s crossing the line. In our Hall family, you dare to take advantage so openly.”
Looking up, Greg saw Jesse Hall standing at the doorway, staring at him with an unpleasant expression.
...
He smiled slightly and said, “I genuinely like lody. What’s the harm in holding hands?”
Those inside the house, upon hearing his words, had the corners of their mouths curled up into smiles.
561, it’s just that coincidental
“Greg’s right.”
Hearing the gentle words, gan’s eyes curved into crescents, “Let’s go, don’t mind him.”
Greg nodded and smiled at Jesse before following gan into the villa.
Jesse looked at his youngest sister, who now seed to side with another man, and couldn’t help feeling a bit sour in his heart.
But he understood the saying “you can’t keep a grown daughter at ho,” and with a bitter smile out of helplessness, he accepted it as it was.
The whole Hall family was almost completely gathered in the living room.
“So this is the boyfriend lody found, he’s indeed very handso.”
“Of course, our lody herself is pretty, she wouldn’t settle for just anyone.”
Hearing her relatives’ complints, gan almost wagged her tail in pride, her face wearing a triumphant smile as she wrapped her arm around Greg’s, approaching the grandpa.
“Grandpa, this is my boyfriend Barry Wolfe.”
As she said it, she turned back and whispered a reminder, “Greg, quickly call him grandpa.”
Greg exchanged a glance with the grandpa, sensing that the bright eyes seed to see through everything in the world.
Moreover, within that slightly emaciated fra, there seed to lurk an invisible aura of dignity.
Standing before him, Greg couldn’t help feeling a touch more nervous.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “Nice to et you, grandpa.”
“Hmm, sit.”
Grandpa Hall smiled warmly, his smile lting away the tension like thawing ice, and Greg breathed a sigh of relief, sensing a change in the old man’s deanor.
If before Grandmaster Hall resembled a sharp Sword, now he seed just an ordinary old man enjoying the company of his grandchildren.
Grandpa Hall engaged Greg in so casual conversation, and the other mbers of the Hall family didn’t inquire too much about his background.
This made Greg imdiately realize that, apart from gan, all the other mbers of the Hall family must already know his identity.
He grew curious as to why they would invite him over to their house knowing who he was, wondering what their intentions were.
However, it seed as if the Hall family had agreed not to bring up the topic; after a polite chat, they started dinner.
Greg felt increasingly puzzled, yet it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to raise the matter.
During the al, the Hall family mbers were all warm and friendly, with several aunts even lavishing praise on Greg, the “child,” saying he had the looks and the career, an excellent match for a lifelong partner.
After dinner, only Grandpa Hall, the eldest Zachary Hall, and the fifth Austin Hall remained at the table.
Austin said to gan, “lody, go back ho for a bit. Your mom will be back soon, and I think you should see her.”
gan wasn’t a fool and instinctively held Greg’s arm tighter, “Dad, I don’t want to go back. When mom returns, she can co over here directly.”
Austin furrowed his brows, “Just go when I tell you to. We need to ask Mr. Wolfe about sothing.”
“Dad, but Greg…”
Greg Jensen knew the critical mont was approaching, and spoke in a soothing voice, “It’s alright, you go. I’d like to have a chat with the uncles anyway.”
“Alright then.”
gan Hall, seeing he had said so, could only stand up, then looked at the elders present, wrinkled her nose, and purposely put on a fierce face, “I’m warning you guys, don’t you bully him.”
Several of the elders who were usually very caring towards gan Hall had their faces darken simultaneously.
Zachary Hall laughed and scolded, “Hurry up and go, do you really think we could eat him?”
“Hmph!”
gan Hall snorted coldly, “Greg, be careful yourself.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
Greg Jensen unconsciously lifted his hand, aiming for her proud behind to give a smack, but before his hand made contact, he realized sothing was amiss and hastily withdrew it.
This scene, witnessed by the Hall family mbers, naturally led to glares of anger.
gan Hall winked at Greg Jensen and reluctantly turned to leave.
The dining room quieted down.
The smiles on the Hall family mbers’ faces slowly faded, and a dozen pairs of eyes all landed on Greg Jensen.
Zachary Hall spoke calmly, “Grandmaster Barry, should we get to know each other again?”
“There’s no need, you all know my identity already, don’t you?”
Greg Jensen smiled and said, “Likewise, I have a good handle on the Hall Family’s information. Just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush.
Don’t make lody wait too long, she’ll get unhappy.”
At these words, Austin Hall’s face darkened suddenly, and with so irritation, he said, “Barry Wolfe, what are you really after by getting close to my daughter?”
“What else but because she’s young, pretty, and has a good personality?”
Greg Jensen smiled, “Dating, what else could it be?”
“Dating?” Austin Hall was taken aback.
The other mbers of the Hall family also looked at Greg Jensen in so disbelief.
In their eyes, Greg Jensen’s approach to gan Hall must have had an ulterior motive. Wasn’t he about to participate in the Union of Seven Provinces tournant? Perhaps that was his real reason.
As a Neutral Clan, the Hall Family, also serving as “referees” for the Union of Seven Provinces, had to be wary of this.
“You’re thinking too much. When lody and I t, I had no idea she was one of you Hall people.”
Greg Jensen paused slightly, then smiled, “Oh, right, back then I probably didn’t even know about the Hall family’s existence.”
Upon hearing this, the Hall family mbers’ faces turned sour.
Although the Hall family was indeed very low-profile, coming from Greg Jensen, this comnt felt awkward to hear in any case.
“What a coincidence, huh?”
“Yes, just that much of a coincidence.”
Greg Jensen spread his hands helplessly, “Before coming here, I really didn’t know she was part of your Hall Family.”
Austin Hall frowned slightly, still sowhat disbelieving, and turned his head to look at the elder Mr. Hall.
The elder Mr. Hall glanced over everyone’s expressions and said indifferently, “Zachary, Austin, stay; the rest of you may leave.”
With that, he stood up, glanced at Greg Jensen, and then said to Austin Hall, “Let’s go, we’ll talk in the study.”
“All right.”
Austin Hall understood, hurriedly stepped forward to support the elder, and headed towards the study.
Zachary Hall rose to his feet, his expression softening a bit, “Grandmaster Barry, would you be interested in a discussion in the study?”
“Sure.”
“Grandmaster Barry, please…”
