The Luckiest Dumb Doctor-Chapter 477 - : Aunt Nine_1
Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Aunt Nine_1
Just then, Louisa Burley came 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 come out? It’s windy outside, stay inside the house, I’ll call you when everything’s ready.”
Looking at the beautiful woman who emerged from the doorway, and then at Greg Jensen’s eager demeanor, Carmen Stuart’s face instantly fell.
Did Barry Wolfe mistake me for that kind of woman?
Carmen 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?”
Carmen Stuart was so angry her face turned ashen. Suddenly, she remembered that when Barry Wolfe saw her, he first asked if it was the address given by Trent Preston, and she had a moment 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 mean by that?”
“What do I mean? I want to ask you the same thing!”
Carmen Stuart gritted her teeth, “Why didn’t you let Barry Wolfe know in advance that I was coming to town?”
“You didn’t tell me 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?
Carmen 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 came through the phone, and Carmen Stuart tried to speak calmly, “Forget it, you don’t need to handle this.”
“Alright, call me if you need anything.”
“Wait!”
Just as Trent Preston was about to hang up, Carmen Stuart suddenly spoke up to stop him:
“I warn you, don’t tell anyone that I came to town looking for Barry Wolfe, do you hear me?”
“Ah?”
“Did you hear me?”
Carmen Stuart asked sternly.
Trent Preston shivered, hurriedly saying, “Please rest assured, Miss Stuart, I’ll keep it to myself. Even if the message gets out, it won’t be from me.”
“Hmm.”
Carmen Stuart hung up the phone, turned her head to look back at the villa with an angry huff, and then stormed off.
Given the situation, even if she went inside to clarify things with Barry Wolfe, it would only lead to embarrassment 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 Carmen Stuart’s mood extremely sour.
Just as she didn’t know how to vent her frustration, the phone rang again.
Carmen 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, Carmen 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 seemed preoccupied. Ignoring Carmen Stuart’s words, she changed the subject and asked, “Carmen, how did it go with Barry Wolfe’s matter?”
“Nothing… nothing much.”
Carmen Stuart stammered.
The ninth sister immediately sensed something was off and asked curiously, “What happened?”
“Nothing.”
“You little liar, have you learned to tell fibs?”
Carmen Stuart said somewhat frantically, “Ninth Aunt, it’s really nothing, please don’t ask.”
The ninth sister spoke sternly, “Carmen, Barry Wolfe’s matter concerns the martial arts competition across seven provinces; this is not something to joke about.”
“Ninth Aunt, it’s not my fault, I… I hadn’t finished talking when he just…”
Carmen 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…”
Carmen 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 charmer.”
“Hmph, I think he’s just a lecher!” Carmen Stuart retorted.
“You can’t really blame 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 someone 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 time, I just wanted to finish the talk quickly so I could get back,” Carmen Stuart said, feeling wronged.

The ninth sister teased, “You going there so bluntly doesn’t look like you were there for a talk.”
Carmen 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.
Carmen 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 me, I’ll handle it myself when I get back.”
“Alright, I got it.”
Carmen Stuart reminded, “Do I need to give a heads-up about Uncle Seventh?”
Upon hearing her mention Uncle Seventh, the ninth sister’s voice became 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.”
Carmen 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 me 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 meet 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, Carmen Stuart felt that Ninth Aunt was right and a smile crept onto her lips as she muttered:
“Wait until we meet again, I’ll scare you to death, hmph!”
Greg Jensen had no idea that the Stuart Family had already sent someone to see him, and even less that he had mistaken that person for that kind of girl.
At that moment, he was sitting by the grill, holding a bowl and brushing sauce over the lamb.
