Arno Jones responded indifferently, then said, “After dinner, bring Andy back here.”
“Yes, Mr CEO.”
After he hung up the phone, Bill Jones, who was sitting on the side, said playfully, “Tsk tsk, bro, you’re really mean, that you even used your own son.”
His brother did nothing lately, which caused Bill Jones to really think that his brother planned to keep being like this. Looking at it now, it seemed like he worried for nothing.
Arno Jones didn’t say anything. There’s no way he would allow Dora Bush to cut ties with him……
“Bro, take a look at how important Andy’s position is in sister-in-law’s heart! While you……still need a lot of work!” said the second young master of Jones family as if seeking his own death.
Arno Jones stared coldly at Bill Jones, then said, “So you no longer want your 3 months holiday?”
Bill Jones sat up straight as he’s shocked, then shook his hand hurriedly.
“No no no, bro, I was joking. You’re definitely the most important person in sister-in-law’s heart.”
“Go away.”
“Alright, bro. I’ll stop disturbing you.” Bill Jones took his coat from the sofa and stood up. He paused for a while as if he suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, bro, you had your driver sent Andy to sister-in-law’s place, did dad and mom know about it?”
Andy had always been staying at Mr and Mrs Jones’ place lately.
After he said that, a rushed voice was heard from outside the door.
“Arno, where’s Andy? How come he’s not home yet after leaving school for such a long time, is he here?”
That was Mr and Mrs Jones.
The two elders waited for Andy for so long, but he’s still not coming home. That’s why they came to Arno Jones’ place directly.
Arno Jones massaged his forehead. How could he forget about his parents?
Mrs Jones scanned through the mansion, then asked worriedly, “I didn’t see Andy here as well! Is he in the bedroom?”
As she talked, Mrs Jones was going to walk towards the bedroom.
Arno Jones started talking, “Mom, Andy is not here.”
“What? He’s not here? Then where did he go? He had left school for quite some time yet he’s not home. The driver didn’t pick up his phone as well. Could it be that something bad happened to them?”
Mrs Jones looked worried. It appeared as she almost called the police.
Arno Jones hurriedly calm them, “Dad, Mom, Andy is at my friend’s place. He’s very safe. You don’t have to worry. I’ll let the driver send Andy back here.”
Mrs Jones felt relieved after listening to what he said.
Wait……A friend?
She slightly raised her eyebrows. Her tone sounded doubtful.
“Is she the girl from that time? How’s it progressing? How far has you both gone? When are you gonna bring her to meet us?”
Until the end of her sentence, Mrs Jones’ eyes were bright. Did that mean she’ll have a daughter-in-law soon?
Bill Jones stayed silent.
How far has it progressed? To the point of cutting ties with the other one……
“You brat, can’t you say something?”
Mrs Jones felt slightly anxious, seeing him kept his mouth shut.
Mr Jones also spoke up, “Andy is with her right now, then why are you still here? Or should we send someone to fetch both of them here, as to let me and your mom have a good look on her.”
“That’s right, how does my daughter-in-law look like, that my son and grandson could like her so much? Quick, call the driver now……”
Mr Jones continued her words, “Yeah, if you really like her, you should bring her to meet us soon.”
Bill Jones leaned on the couch and listened to their conversation happily, then he said giggly, “Dad, Mom, stop worrying about it. There’s no hope for this daughter-in-law of yours. She had ran away. Andy is helping him to win her back now!”
Arno Jones glared coldly at Bill Jones.
Mrs Jones felt anxious after she listened to what he said.
“What’s going on? Arno, did you pissed her off?”
Arno Jones answered, “Mom, I did not.”
“But it definitely is related to you. I told you, you shouldn’t put on a long face against her, and also……”
Mrs Jones’ warning went through his ears. Arno Jones could only massage his forehead hopelessly.
……
On the other side, Dora Bush brought the food to the dining table, and then she scooped rice for Andy.
Andy’s gaze was full of smile. He ate the food deliciously.
“These are the best food I’ve eaten in the past few days.”
Dora Bush smiled, “Eat more if you like it.”
“Yeah!”
Just like this, Andy spent more than 40 minutes eating the meal that could be finished in 20 minutes only to spend more time with Dora Bush.
After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Andy spoke with his baby voice, “Aunt Dora, I’m too full and I don’t feel like moving, can I……”
“You can’t” Dora Bush clearly understand Andy. But she needs to toughen her heart.
“Andy, have you forgotten about our deal ealier?”
Andy sighed. He knew that he might not be able to stay tonight.
“Aunt Dora, can I still come here next time?”
Andy looked at her eagerly and was full of hope.
Dora Bush couldn’t bear to see him like that. Thus she could only say, “You can come when you want to!”
Although she didn’t want to see that person, it seemed like she couldn’t avoid him as well.
After Andy heard what she said, he smiled happily immediately.
“Aunt Dora is the best.”
Afterwards, Andy and Dora Bush chatted for a bit before he left unwillingly.
Dora Bush sent him downstairs. Looking at Andy being taken away by the driver, she suddenly had those complicated feelings. If it went on, she could end up meeting Arno Jones for Andy sooner or later. But why she just couldn’t be cruel this one time.
Dora Bush was feeling agitated. After going back upstairs, right when she was about to close the door, a hand stopped her.
Who’s that?
Dora Bush was frightened. When she turned around, she realized it’s Bean Bush.
What happened a few days ago still remained clear and distinct in her head. Dora Bush’s gaze suddenly turned cold.
She looked around warily. Seeing that no bodyguards were tagging along, then only she felt relieved. She said coldly, “What is Mr Bush doing here this late?”
Bean Bush’s expression turned ghastly pale, then scolded, “Dora Bush, I’m your father. Shouldn’t you invite me to go inside?”
“I’m sorry, you’re not welcome here. Just get to the point.”
Bean Bush’s expression looked ghastly, and he didn’t talk about anything else. He directly said he purpose of him coming here.
“Dora Bush, I need you to help us find a way to contact Arno Jones, as to let Bush Group and Jones Group work together.”
This project was co-invested by both Bush Group and White Group.
They invested a lot in the early stage of the project, but it had been unable to progress. If this continued, the loss would be unimaginable. Now the only way is to cooperate with Jones Group……
After that day, how Arno Jones looked like when he’s mad had frightened the whole Bush family. So after being quiet for couple days, for the project, Bean Bush could only come and ask for Dora Bush’s help.
Upon hearing his request, Dora Bush let out a cold puff, then she said with the chilly tone, “What makes you think that I’ll help you?”
The Bush family did a lot of outrageous things to her repeatedly. How could Bean Bush dare to ask for her help?
Dora Bush only felt funny.
Bean Bush’s eyes sank, then he suddenly said, “Because of your mother.”
