"This is Nancy."
James' assistant Alex heard a gentle voice over the phone.
Suddenly, Alex realized he didn't know Nancy.
He wondered who Nancy was.
Alex became nervous, staring at James with a strange look.
"Dad, when are you going home? I came back home with my mother, Aunt Vivian and my elder brothers."
Nancy's soft voice warmed James' heart.
"I will go back soon. What did you do with your mother today?"
"We went for skincare and I had my hair cut. Mom and Aunt Vivian bought me a lot of beautiful clothes and shoes, and... "
Listening to Nancy recounting what she did today, James walked back to his office with a gentle smile. People who greeted James on his way were surprised by his bright smile.
Shareholders and directors blankly watched James leaving. They looked at each other with doubt and even forgot to put their hands down.
"What's wrong with Mr. Brook?"
"Who is he talking to? Why did he smile brightly?"
Many people were curious, but none of them knew it.
James arrived at the office and hung up the phone reluctantly. He checked the time once again and found it was still an hour and a half before getting off work.
James asked Assistant Alex, "Are there any other important events today?"
Alex was still thinking about the call just now. He heard that Mr. Brook called himself as daddy on the phone, but Mr. Brook would never be so gentle with his son. Moreover, Nancy was a nickname for a girl.
Alex knew Mr. Brook had no daughter. He wanted to know what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask.
James asked about his schedules when Assistant Alex was immersed in thought. Alex immediately showed qualities that an outstanding worker should have.
Alex stood straight and answered quickly, as if he wasn't absent-minded just now.
"Mr. Brook, you have a dinner appointment with Mr. Lee."
James stood up directly, "Rearrange it. Wait for Marcus to deal with other documents. I'll get off work now if there is nothing important."
Then James left in a hurry. Alex was stunned and failed to make the response even though he was a professional assistant.
In Alex's mind, Mr. Brook was always punctual. He never got off work early even when he dated Mrs. Brook and after he got married!
It's too late for Alex to catch up with James. Alex got other things to do, so he could only discuss the following work with a few secretaries.
When Alex was working, the fact that Mr. Brook skipped work recurred frequently in his mind.
Alex couldn't believe it!
"Mom, I just got off the phone with Dad."
Nancy was on her way home by car with her mother and her aunt. She handed the phone to her mother with a cute smile.
Vivian marveled at Nancy's cuteness and thought Nancy would be more lovely if she gained weight.
"Good Girl. Did you ask when he would go home?"
"He said he will come back soon."
There was a relaxing atmosphere in this car, but the car taken by Adam and Louis was otherwise.
"You insisted on taking the same car as me. Have you no shame? You took a car with your mother and Nancy to go out. Why can't I go back by taking the same car with them?"
Louis sneered with folded arm and glared at Adam.
"You used to dislike Nancy and didn't allow her to call you elder brother. Are you regretful now?"
Adam was angry to be reminded of what he felt embarrassed about.
"Who said I want to stay with Nancy! I just wanted to be with my mother and Aunt Vivian."
"Really? But you never acted like this before."
"That's because you didn't see it!"
"Adam!" Louis said through gritted teeth.
Louis gave Adam a weird smile, cracking his finger joints.
Adam shrank up in fright and screamed.
"Louis, stop it! Or I will tell your mom. Ouch! Sorry, I was wrong!"
The driver felt speechless.
He didn't know what to do.
In Brook's villa...
The Elderly Mr. Brook was sitting at the gate of the villa. There was a black cat called Harley lying on the wall and a dog named Adolph lying in front of the door. All of them stared out.
The butler was standing aside, "Mr. Brook, you have been waiting here for two hours. Please go back to the house."
The Elderly Mr. Brook waved his hand, "It's okay, I just enjoy the sunshine. Nancy should be back soon."
The butler sighed helplessly and felt the Elderly Mr. Brook become more stubborn over time.
The familiar car drove to the villa. The Elderly Mr. Brook suddenly stood up with his eyes gleaming.
"Nancy is back!"
"Woof! Woof!" Adolph barked.
Adolph also stood up excitedly, sticking out its tongue and shaking its tail. Adolph was completely different from the way it looked just now.
The black cat Harley on the wall stood up and stretched leisurely. Harley showed its flexibility to the fullest. Then it gracefully jumped off the wall and onto Adolph's head.
Adolph crossed its eyes to look up and shook his head. But Harley on his head stood steadily and then climbed down.
Adolph didn't care about it, because Harley often stood on its head when they were in the village. Adolph always failed to deal with Harley.
"Grandpa, I am back. "
Before the car arrived at Brook's villa, Nancy poked her head out of the car window.
Nancy called the Elderly Mr. Brook as Grandpa loudly and waved to greet him with a smile.
Adam looked back in his car and snorted, "What a silly girl!"
Louis gave him a sideways glance and sneered.
Adam was irritated and wanted to hit Louis. But he was not a match for Louis!
Adolph ran to the door of the car with Harley on his head. Nancy got out of the car and was surrounded by them enthusiastically.
"Hello, Adolph and Harley." Nancy greeted them with a smile and touched them gently.
Then Nancy walked to the Elderly Mr. Brook and held his wrinkled hands. Nancy looked up at him and asked in a soft voice, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
The Elderly Mr. Brook cheerfully said, "I am waiting for you together with Adolph and Harley."
Harley mewed.
Then Harley jumped directly from Adolph's head to Nancy's shoulders. It also surrounded Nancy's neck with its long black tail.
Adolph wagged his tail fast and rubbed against Nancy's leg.
Nancy and the Elderly Mr. Brook walked slowly towards the villa, holding each other's hands.
Nancy asked as she walked, "Grandpa, how long have you been waiting? "
"Just for a while. I am basking in the sun, which is good for my health."
"I will do it together with you in the days to come."
"That's good. I will expect it."
