Chapter: 1779
Cecilia was young and lovely. This alone was enough to bring a smile to Zoey's face since Cecilia often reminded her of her daughter.
While they were chatting, Kyle came in with Albert. Behind them were servants who were carrying gifts and luggage.
As soon as Kyle entered, he took off his scarf and put on a grin that stretched from ear to ear.
"Merry Christmas, madams!" he greeted.
He then turned to Albert and told him, "Over there is Rena's grandma.
You can also call her grandma."
Albert scratched his head and shyly looked away.
Seeing the embarrassed expression on Albert's face, Zoey hurriedly stepped in. She called Albert over and placed her hand atop his.
"You're such a good-looking boy," she said to him.
Then, Zoey looked up to Kyle, her face turning serious.
"You just asked him to call me grandma, right? Does Darren have any other children? I've never heard of it from Eloise."
Kyle was stunned momentarily. From Zoey's trick of playing dumb, he instantly knew Zoey was not an easy woman to deal with.
Zoey then pointed at the luggage and added, “If you're Darren's son,
I will ask someone to clean up the guest room immediately. I saw your luggage. How could I let my grandchildren stay in the hotel instead of the cozy rooms in my house?"
After saying that, she then asked Cecilia to give orders to those servants.
Catching Zoey's hints, Cecilia reacted quickly and said, “Zoey, this young man is Albert Watson. He's not Darren's son. He's this gentleman's son.”
After a while, the servant served the tea.
Zoey offered the guests a cup before taking a sip from her own. With a smile, she said, "Oh, look at me. Maybe my head isn't working well.
The moment I heard that this gentleman asked this young man to call me grandma, I thought he was Darren's son, Rena's younger brother. If that's not the case, then perhaps it's best to call Rena and hear what she has to say about this."
Unfazed, Kyle forced a smile. He gently squeezed Zoey's hand and took the gift from his servant.
