Chapter 172: Chapter 172

Sir you called!

Yes, go get my grandkids drinks.

Right away sir!

And the chef, check if the food is ready. The butler smile, the old man is overly excited.

I will check on that sir!

Go on and be fast about it. As soon as the butler left, he look at Mandy, although she had stop crying her eyes are still teary. Oh my poor thing, you should stop crying, I forgot that your mother, doesn't know how to stop her tears when they starts falling.

Sorry grandpa, is just that...

It's fine, I am also excited and know it's tears of joy.

Okay, I have lot of things to asked you about my mother.

Sure, you are free to and me too have lot of things to asked you, we can do that over meal but then, we are having a big announcement.

Announcement?

Dylan and Mandy echoed it, grandpa Asher move his eyes from Dylan to Mandy.

Yes, announcement, didn't your cousin tell you...

Grandpa, you never did tell me about any announcements.

Oh keep quiet, you really are a stupid grandson, we need to introduce her to the business world, my business partner, you should know the family is into wine and I am sure all of them will be very envious of me, having such a beautiful granddaughter, beauty must really run in my family.

Grandpa, I thought is business nor showcasing her?

Shut up! The two are same. Mandy laughed at the old man childishness.

But grandpa, you barely know me, I might...

"It doesn't matter, you are the Asher's but the truth is, I got every information about you, from your favorite food, color, everything you've done before now and the truth is, the only thing, I didn't have is your picture, all thanks to that naughty cousin of yourself"

Mandy smiled at him but the old man could see through her, her thought is far from everything he is saying, even though Dylan had told her the reason behind her mother leaving the family, she still wonder why her grandfather never take her mother back.

Do you have what to asked? Go on and asked.

She looks at her grandfather, whose eyes never leave her.

It's nothing. She said shaking her head, the man might not want to talk to her about her mother.

Here! Everything, you need to know about your mother.

Her eyes bulge out, as Asher pushed a diary and key to her, she wasn't expecting him to know what she is thinking.

I was...

It's fine, every child want to know about the woman that gave them life, just maybe, she knows she might not make it, she wrote everything there for you and the keys, are to her room, you could find everything about her there, the steward will show that to you but for now, let's enjoy ourselves, I need to proof to Mr Cooper that my granddaughter is more beautiful than his princess, maybe, you could meet his handsome son.

Dylan spit out the wine from his mouth, this is trouble, Lauren will kill him, if he found out his grandfather is matchmaking Mandy with Merlin right on the first day of their meeting.

What is it grandson?

Nothing! Have you forgotten that...

Nope! And Lauren is no longer married to her.

While Dylan was busy introducing Mandy to her grandfather, Lauren was busy with a business meeting but then his phone ring, he pick at the first call, he had been waiting for Mandy's call, that he thought the call was from her.

Hello Lauren!

He pulled the phone from his ear and look at the caller.

Leah!

Yes, it's me.

Fuck you, how did you get my number?

Please, don't hang on, on me, I really need to talk to you.

What about?

Please, let's meet, I beg you.

Where?

I will text you the address. As soon as the line die off, the address had been send to him, he got into his car and drove off, without stone, even though he could recognize her voice, her face is another thing, he couldn't recognize, he is there already.

He thought of what to do then he called her, as soon as she place the phone on her ear, he knows that she is the one, so he pull his car and walked towards her.

Lauren!

Don't touch me! What do you want?

I beg you forgive me, I just want to apologize for all the pains, I cause you, I want to tell you everything about the accident, the social media scandal everything.

The accident?

Yes, that accident was...

Her words didn't finish before she was shot.

Leah!

I am sorry for everything. It was then that Lauren find out that, she had already been stab, in as much as he doesn't want stone to know his whereabouts, Stone is always watching, that moment he came and pulled Lauren away alerting the police.

Dammit! So this was all planned but who is behind it, I need the information between twenty-four hours.

Alright sir but you should be careful.

Just go ahead and look for Leah's mother to tell her what happened, you should pay the family a condolences.

Right away sir.

Amelia keep calling Lauren but he just keep it on busy, so she decided to call president Daniel.

Good day sir!

Hi beautiful, how are you?

I am not fine, Lauren has refused to pick my calls, after he apologize to me for leaving me behind.

He apologized to you? Daniel asked confused, he wasn't expecting that Lauren will do that but what is this son of his up to, he can't place his attitude since he wakes up from comatose.

Yes, he did or did he tell you, he wants to break up with me?

No oh! Nothing of such, I was just surprised he hardly apologize.

Oh! It's simply because he thinks I am that stupid poor low life Mandy.

Hm! President Daniel press his lips together, how stupid Amelia could be. It's fine, he is busy when he is less busy, he will get to you

Thanks sir!

The line die off making Daniella look at him.

Stop giving me that look, let him do the explanation himself, even though, she is not Mandy, she is still his betrothed.

Daniella fall her face, one more question from her might make him hurt her.
