Chapter 958 First Meet-up With Grandmother (Part One)

Carla caught a glimpse of the sadness in his eyes and gritted her teeth. Then, she said, "Yes. Yes it is... Hmmp!"

Before she could even get another word out, Steven suddenly covered her mouth with his hand.

"Please don't say what you were going to say. I beg you."

Steven frowned and closed his eyes. "Callie, the only reason I am here is to draw the portrait for Arthur. It is my thanks for the kindness he has shown me. I will leave the moment I finish it."

Then, he opened his eyes and slowly bent down until his forehead was gently touching hers.

"Callie, can you promise me one last thing?"

Carla grunted as she pointed at his hand on her face.

How did he expect her to answer his question when he was still covering her mouth like that?

"Hear me out,"

Steven said, lowering his eyes to look at her. "While I am here in Yu Sea City, could you stop rejecting me and hiding from me? Let's try to get along, okay?"

"Hmm..."

Carla tried to say something, but Steven's hand on her mouth was too tight.

"Before I give up for real, let me try one last time. In that case, I'd be able to think that we really did get along with each other. The only problem is, we didn't meet at the right time. At the very least, just please give me a chance to bury my feelings. For closure. Is that okay?"

Once he finished talking, he finally took his hand away from her mouth.

"During this period, I will try my best to focus on all of your shortcomings and make myself hate you. Can you at least give me this chance?"

Hearing the pleading tone in his voice, Carla carefully considered his proposition and said, "Okay, fine. I promise."

If she could take this opportunity to make him give up on her completely and return to normal, then it would all be for the best.

'This is much better than him spending his entire life thinking about me, ' Carla thought

loser to them he stood up and said, "Callie, this is your grandmother.

Eleanor, this is Callie, the daughter of Andrea. She's our granddaughter!"

Arthur introduced the two.

Carla came over and bowed to Eleanor.

"Hello, Grandma, Grandpa. It's such a pleasure to meet you."

After a moment's silence, Eleanor gave a flick of her sleeve, stood up, and walked up to Carla. "What did just you call me?

How dare you call me Grandma?"

Eleanor said in a hoarse and strong voice.

Carla felt a little dejected, and started subconsciously biting her lips.

"Although I'm getting old, I have not started losing my memory. I only have two granddaughters. One is Lucia, and the other one is Lori. Who do you think you are?"

Eleanor said with a sneer as she went back to her seat.

"My apologies. I didn't mean to step out of my bounds." Carla sighed in her heart, but she still knelt and said, "Please… I hope you would be kind enough to withdraw your ban on my mother and me."

At that moment, Arthur coughed and said, "Eleanor, Andrea and Callie have traveled thousands of miles to visit you and me. They have suffered a lot in the past couple of days. I also heard that Andrea is ill. Please, don't make things difficult for them, okay?"
