Murray pulled lissa to stand up and cheered her up, saying, "Didn’t you say that you missed grandfather? We can go to the Gibson’s house and visit them. They seem to be on good terms."
lissa nodded. Enoch and Marc were good friends for decades, so they naturally got along well.
Murray and lissa got changed and went out. When they arrived at the Gibson’s house, they encountered the maid who was going to water the flowers.
"Where’s my grandfather?" Murray stopped the maid and asked.
The maid greeted Murray and lissa with a smile and said, "Mr. Marc is playing chess with Mr. Eugen in the study. They will be very happy to see you here."
Murray wore a faint smile. As soon as he and lissa reached the study, they heard Enoch speak out loud. He sounded happy.
Murray and lissa looked at each other and smiled. Murray raised his hand and knocked on the door. Not long after, he heard a voice from inside. Only then did he slowly walk in with lissa’s hand in his.
Murray and lissa greeted Enoch and Marc at the sa ti.
Enoch and Marc looked up at them when hearing their voices. In an instant, Enoch and Marc broadened into smiles, "Here you are. We talked about you a few days ago. Why didn’t you call us in advance?"
lissa replied with delight, "I wanted to give you a surprise." As soon as lissa saw her grandfather, she felt no longer anxious and upset.
Since lissa was brought up by her grandfather, they had a profound affection for each other.
When Enoch saw lissa, he was glad as well. With the wrinkles around his eyes deepened, he looked amiable.
"li, you seem to have lost weight since I saw you last ti. How is everything?"
As Enoch asked, he cast a glance at Murray. Although he was satisfied with Murray, he felt sad whenever he thought that lissa was going to marry Murray. After all, he only had one granddaughter.
"Did Murray bully you?"
Murray shook his head and wore a smile. He didn’t say a word. lissa looked down and found it interesting as well. She said to Enoch, "Grandfather, don’t worry. Murray is good to ."
Marc interrupted, "Take it easy. I know Murray well. He is a good child. If he dares to bully li, I will be the first to deal with him."
With a snort, Enoch said on purpose, "I know Murray is a good child, but li is my granddaughter. She will marry Murray soon. Isn’t it natural for to worry about her?"
"Don’t quarrel with each other on such a trifle. I’m happy to be with Murray. He is nice to . Don’t worry," lissa hurriedly said.
Sothing occurred to Marc. He said, "As I didn’t know that you would co back, I didn’t ask the servants to make the food you like."
Marc was about to stand up, but lissa stopped him. She said, "We haven’t co back to visit you for a long ti. You can ask the servants to have a break. How about we cook for you today? I want you to enjoy our food."
Enoch and Marc looked at each other and nodded in agreent.
...
It took lissa and Murray two hours to cook the al. They made six dishes and a soup together. Enoch and Marc had co out of the study and sat at the dining table. All of them enjoyed the al.
Marc said, "li, you are good at cooking. I have never eaten such tasty food before." Since lissa and Murray had returned, Marc seed to be in a good mood. Enoch stared at Marc proudly. His gaze seed to say, "li is my granddaughter. I take pride in her."
Soon, it was eight o’clock in the evening. Jose appeared when Marc was chatting with lissa. He walked to Marc and said, "Mr. Gibson and Ms. Eugen are back today. Shall I lead them to the room..."
As soon as Marc Jose’s words, he ca up with an idea. He looked at Jose and said, "Except Murray’s bedroom, all the rooms upstairs have been rented out, right?"
Jose was stunned. Only after seeing Marc’s gaze did he understand what Marc wanted to do. He hurriedly said, "That’s right. Didn’t you say that you were bored a few days ago? So, you rented all the bedrooms out. Mr. Gibson’s bedroom is the only empty one now."
lissa and Murray were shocked at their conversation. What did they an by renting all the bedrooms out?
Murray knew what Marc ant to do, so he lowered his head and smiled secretly without saying anything.
Marc looked at Jose with admiration. Then, he wore a helpless expression and said, "Alright, go and clean the room up."
After Jose left, Marc said to lissa, "li, I know you and Murray have not married yet. However, as you heard, there is only one empty bedroom today. How about you sleep in the sa room with Murray? Anyway, we will be a family soon. You don’t need to feel embarrassed."
Hearing this, lissa could not help but feel awkward. Murray joined the conversation, "Grandpa, what are you saying?"
Enoch knew what Marc wanted to do as well. He exchanged looks with Marc, who sat on a sofa. Then, they stood up one after another. Enoch said, "I’m old. I’m sleepy. It’s ti for us to go to bed. See you tomorrow..."
...
lissa had no choice but to stay in the sa bedroom with Murray. With Murray sleeping next to her, she couldn’t help feeling out of place.
lissa and Murray were about to get engaged soon. Besides, they were intimate with each other. However, it was the first ti that they slept in the sa bed. When Murray ca out of the bathroom after a shower, he saw lissa lying stiffly on the bed. She grabbed the quilt tightly, looking nervous.
He could not help but smile. He wondered, how adorable she is!
He pulled back the quilt and lay down. He reached out to touch the woman’s fingers. He could tell that her hand was cold. He asked, "What’s wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
lissa’s ears turned red. There was so distance between Murray and her, but she could feel the man’s breathing. She even had the illusion that they were close to each other.
lissa unconsciously swallowed. She stamred, "Nothing. I’m fine."
Murray laughed in a low voice. He threw his arms around lissa’s waist and turned her to face him without hesitation. He said, "Take it easy. We have slept in the sa room before, haven’t we? You don’t have to be afraid."
There was only one night light on in the room. Under the dim yellow light, Murray beca ever more handso. lissa looked at his face and beca shy. "You... Don’t say those words anymore. You are so thick-cheeky. I have never seen you like this when you go to work."
