Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me-Chapter 165: Ancestor
Cassian Jennings acted as if he hadn’t even seen Tiana Grayson, placing Amelia Avery directly into the car before driving away.
Tiana was completely stunned. She only came back to her senses when a man appeared beside her. She looked at Leo Joyce, her expression a mixture of fear and anxiety.
"Lost in thought?" Leo Joyce said with a wry smile, raising a hand to gently tap Tiana on the head.
"It’s nothing..." Tiana’s heart skipped a beat at Leo Joyce’s casual gesture, then began to pound wildly. She blushed and quickly lowered her head.
Seeing her shy reaction, Leo Joyce awkwardly pulled his hand back. "Where do you live? I’ll take you home."
"Meriside. Hibiscus Villa," she answered quietly, her head still bowed.
"..." Leo Joyce nodded, walked around to the driver’s side, got in, and started the car to take her home.
While it was just past 3:00 PM in Tridell, it was already after 10:00 PM in Eldoria.
Valor Hospital,
Tristan Grayson stared at his call history, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
’So, that call during dinner... was it from that woman?’
’I wonder what she wanted.’
Just then, his phone rang, pulling Tristan Grayson from his thoughts. He stared intently at the screen, his brow furrowed slightly as he swiped to answer.
The call had barely connected when a disgruntled male voice came through. "Tristan Grayson, you finally fucking answered! If you hadn’t picked up, your old man was about to come hunt me down." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Hearing this, Tristan Grayson leaned back wearily in his chair. "What’s going on?" he asked in a low voice.
"What do you think is going on? Henry Archer lied to your old man, said you were on a business trip with me. And now your father calls me today asking where we are because he wants to come over! Tristan Grayson, you’ve really screwed me this time. If your dad finds out you’re not with me, do you think he’ll let me off the hook?"
"Ian Shaw, explain this to me clearly." ’I’ve gone on business trips for a month or two before, and Dad never asked about them.’
"There’s no time to explain! Just hurry back to the country. I’m telling you, if you don’t come back soon, that little lover of yours is going to be in deep trouble."
Hearing Ian Shaw’s words, Tristan Grayson’s expression darkened. "My dad knows I’m in Eldoria?" he asked, his voice cold and hard.
"Of course he knows! There haven’t been any major projects at the company recently that required your personal attention. You’ve been gone for over a month. It’d be weird if he *wasn’t* suspicious."
"I get it. Tell Henry Archer I’m coming back tomorrow. That’s it..."
As Tristan Grayson was about to hang up, Ian Shaw panicked on the other end. "Hey, Tristan Grayson, you heartless bastard, don’t you hang up on me..."
"What else is there?" Tristan Grayson asked, his voice filled with impatience.
"It’s nothing huge, but I wanted to give you a heads-up. You need to keep a close eye on your sister for a while. Make sure she spends less time with Amelia Avery. Amelia provoked someone important this time, so things might get messy. Tiana absolutely can’t handle any stress."
"Amelia Avery’s in trouble again?" Every time he heard her name, Tristan Grayson was guaranteed a headache.
’A pampered heiress, causing trouble every single day...’
"Yeah. Aiden Avery just called and told me to arrange protection for Amelia Avery. You know me, I’m not fucking afraid of anything... except for that little princess."
The deep frown on Tristan Grayson’s face finally smoothed out. "Heh. This is a job better suited for Cassian Jennings."
"It’s not like you don’t know that Cassian Jennings and Aiden Avery had a falling out. Man... why is my life so hard? Those two have a little tiff, and I’m the one who ends up suffering."
