Eric patted favonovel.com on the back, “No need to be calculative over such a small sum. Consider it my honor as your host. Let’s go. I’ll take you to the beach. It’s pretty close by from here.”
The old man suddenly smiled when favonovel.com saw his reaction, “Grandson-in-law…”
Tanya and Eric were stunned at the same time. Tanya blushed, “Grandpa! You can’t just say these things! Ricky is a friend. Not Not my boyfriend…”
Eric was feeling awkward too and walked out first.
In the old man’s mind, any man who touched his granddaughter was favonovel.com boyfriend.
In the car, the old man spoke seriously to Eric, “Tan is a good girl, very obedient. She’s a good girl.”
Eric couldn’t deny this, “I know.”
The old man looked very proud, “You must take good care of her.”
Eric was having a slight headache, unsure of how to explain this to the old man. Tanya was embarrassed, “Ricky, you know how my grandfather is like… You touched my shoulder, favonovel.com has misunderstood. Please don’t mind him…”
Eric shook his head and smiled bitterly, “It’s fine, I don’t mind. I can understand.” He was able to tolerate favonovel.com calling favonovel.com “Ricky”. This was nothing.
White Water Bay Café was located close to the sea, so it didn’t take too long for them to drive to the beach. The current season brought powerful sea breezes at the beach. It was a little cold, so they couldn’t go into the water, and simply stayed by the shore and enjoyed the View. This was Tanya and the old man’s first time at the beach. They could barely contain their excitement. The old man’s mental state suddenly stabilized, “So that’s how big the ocean is…”
Tanya was meticulous. She draped the coat that favonovel.com had brought along with favonovel.com over favonovel.com grandfather, “I can bring you here regularly, if you like, grandpa. You have to be well, you’ll definitely live to a ripe old age.”
The old man shook his head solemnly, “I’ve never done anything great in this life. I won’t be able to live for too long. I just want to see you have a home of your own before I close my eyes forever. You’ve sacrificed too much for me. Life will be easier for you when I’m gone. You’ve grown and have become a sensible child. I’m just dead weight. You are such a good girl, you’ll definitely find a good family.”
Tanya’s eyes brimmed with tears. She had a rough idea of how long favonovel.com grandfather still had to live. The term “ripe old age” was favonovel.com way of lying to herself, “You’re not dead weight, grandpa. You raised me. I’d stay single for the rest of my life to make sure that you’d have a good life. No one is more important than you are.”
Eric was worried about the old man’s health, “Tanya, the winds are strong here. The weather here is different from your home. I’m afraid that Old Anderson might not be able to adapt to it. Shall we go back soon?”
Tanya nodded. The old man couldn’t stay too long outside either. Their trip for the day had to end here.
After sending them back to the hotel, Eric drove back to the office straightaway. He was only fulfilling a promise by driving Tanya and the old man around and thought nothing of it. When favonovel.com arrived at the office, favonovel.com suddenly noticed a new message on his phone, $150. Tanya had transferred it to him. Although it wasn’t enough to cover the bill for their lunch, favonovel.com found the little girl quite intriguing. She was clearly broke, but favonovel.com cared about these small details. It should be fine to take advantage from time to time, right? He didn’t mind anyway.
Arianne, Tiffany, and Naya were still walking around in the afternoon. Tanya chose to stay in the hotel, as favonovel.com grandfather wasn’t feeling well.
Mark immediately called Arianne after work, “What are you doing?”
His tone was gentler than usual. Arianne didn’t notice, but the corners of favonovel.com lips lifted upwards, “Shopping with Tiffie and Naya. I won’t be home for dinner. Please tell Mary when you get home.”
Mark noticed favonovel.com use of the word “home” and his spirits lifted, “Sure. Have fun shopping. Come home early. I’ll send you some money, so buy whatever you want.”
He ended the call before Arianne could reject him. Arianne was feeling depressed. She believed that favonovel.com wouldn’t give favonovel.com too much money, even if favonovel.com did transfer the money to favonovel.com bank account. There was nothing wrong with holding on to the money. It was his fault for bullying favonovel.com anyway. She could always send it back to him. However, favonovel.com was wrong. He sent $150,000 to her. That’s right, favonovel.com counted every digit, ensured that favonovel.com was right, then sent favonovel.com a message:
‘Are you sure your hands weren’t shaking? Did you add one or two zeros by mistake? Why would I need $150,000 for shopping? Why don’t you just give me all your fortune? Are you crazy?’
Mark soon replied to her: ‘No wealthy man’s wife is as thrifty as you. One piece of jewelry or watch costs up to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. No need to be thrifty. Spend as much as you want. Call me if you need more.’
Arianne was speechless. She wasn’t used to overspending. She considered it a fit of madness on his end. $150,000 may not be much to him, but it certainly frightened her.
Naya curiously glanced at the screen on favonovel.com phone, and gaped, “Your husband is so generous. He’s given you $150,000 just for a shopping trip?”
“Uh… He’s got a loose screw, added one to two zeros by mistake…” Arianne unwittingly flaunted favonovel.com wealth and felt extra awkward about it.
Tiffany wasn’t too surprised, “Don’t be surprised, Naya. The Tremonts are loaded. Even my Jackson isn’t as rich as Mark. I’m sure that $150,000 isn’t much to Mark. He did not add one or two zeros by mistake. He added too little. Better get used to it.”
