Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 136 His Grandparents

"Please wait for a second."

Wyatt looked at Starry apologetically and Starry also smiled at him, "Don't bother."

It was Wyatt's grandma. She asked him why it took one hour for him to buy some stuff in a nearby

convenience store.

Wyatt looked at Starry and continued, "I come across a friend. Her leg injured and I accompanied her

to the hospital."

"A girl?"

Wyatt smiled, "Right."

"She lived alone?"

"Yes. Her parents passed away when she was young."

"What a poor girl. Why don't you invite her to our home for dinner?"

"I'd better not. She didn't like to bother other people. I may leave now, grandma. I'll get back soon after

I send her back to her home."

"I know. Don't hurry."

Then he hung up the phone and got back to Starry, "Sorry, it's my grandma."

"You don't have to walk me back home. My house is just on the street ahead, just about a few hundred

meters away."

Wyatt smiled, "What a coincidence. My grandma's home is also on that street."

Starry was also surprised, "It's indeed a coincidence."

"I meet you on my way to the convenience store to buy some stuff for dinner."

Then he looked at the broken leg of Starry, "I didn't know it was you. But Bentley told me that you had a

car accident and your leg was broken. Then I was sure it was you."

Then they walked out of the hospital and walked back home together.

As they got to the street they lived, Starry reminded Wyatt to buy the things his grandma wanted.

"Thank you for reminding me."

When he walked out of the convenient store, Starry was checking the fireworks displayed in the

showcase. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Wyatt raised his eyebrows, "Do you want a firework show?"

Starry was finally taken back to the real world, "I haven't let off any fireworks for years. But this year I

did find some kids setting off fireworks downstairs."

While saying, she picked a box of fireworks which shaped like fairy wands and asked, "How much are

they?"

Wyatt had already got his wallet in hand. As the clerk said "ten", he had paid the bill instantly.

As Starry was still fumbling her wallet in her pocket, Wyatt had already paid the bill.

She turned her head to look at Wyatt, who was also looking at her, "As a New Year gift."

Starry didn't refuse, "Thank you, Mr. Matthews."

"Which one do you live in?"

Starry pointed at her house, "There."

Wyatt smiled and said, "My grandma just lived nearby."

"What a coincidence."

"Let's go, I'll send you back home first."

"Okay."

It was an old house and the street in front of it was a bit narrow. Starry walked in front of Wyatt and he,

with her umbrella in hand, was following her.

Starry's house was quite small and surrounded by a lot of other old houses. It was indeed a quiet

place.

"You mean this one?"

Starry noticed the change on Wyatt's face and said smilingly, "Do your grandparents live next door?"

Wyatt smiled, "Just wait here."

Then he knocked on the door of the house beside Starry's.

Soon, an old lady came out to open the door for him.

The old lady laughed as she saw it was Wyatt, "I remember you brought your key with you."

"I forgot."

Wyatt then turned to Starry, "Shall we have dinner together?"

His grandma also noticed the presence of Starry, "Is that the friend of yours you mentioned on the

phone?"

"Yes. She just lived next door."

His grandma heard his words and looked at Starry surprisedly, "Then you must be Starry, daughter of

Mr. Bradley."

The old lady living next door, Dolores Walters, had helped his father send Starry to the kindergarten

when she was a little girl.

"Grandma Dolores."

"It has been fifteen years since I met you last time. You did change a lot! Just see how beautiful you are

now! Come in and have a cup of coffee!"

Starry felt it inappropriate for her to refuse her kindness.

She then walked inside with the walking stick in hand. Sympathy arose in Grandma Dolores's mind as

she saw her broken leg, "What happened to you, my girl?"

Starry didn't want the kind old lady to get worried. She said it was just a small accident.

Grandma Dolores called Wyatt's grandpa, "Stephen! Starry Bradley is here!"

Then a strong old man came out of the study, "Starry? Which Starry?"

He pulled his glasses up his nose and said, "Oh, I remember. Starry Bradley of next door, right?"

Starry was a naughty girl when she was young. Wyatt's grandpa had taught her how to write properly

and she almost broke his pen accidently.

Wyatt's mother was the only daughter of her parents. As she got married in a distant city, her parents

felt quite lonely. The lively little girl living next door brought great fun to their daily life.

But after her parents passed away, she moved out of the house and Wyatt's grandparents had never

met her since then.

"Grandpa Stephen."

Now Starry had grown up into a fine lady. No one could imagine that the fair maiden on the sofa was

such a naughty girl.

Grandpa Stephen squinted and said, "You're really beautiful now, you naughty girl."

Grandma Dolores brought a cup of coffee from the kitchen and also a pile of different kinds of snacks,

"Now you live alone in the house next door?"

Starry had a sip of coffee, "It's inconvenient for me to visit my friend with my broken leg."

Grandma Dolores snorted, "You should at least pay a visit to us."

Wyatt washed some grapes and got out of the kitchen and sighed as he saw his grandparents both

sitting beside Starry, "Now I'm not the focus of this family anymore."

Grandma Dolores turned to him, "I know why you're here."

Starry felt quite relaxed as the ones around her were familiar to her. She asked with a flicker of

playfulness in her eyes, "Why?"

"Because he is still single now."

Wyatt touched his nose and said, "Remaining single is good."

"Good for what?'

Then Grandma Dolores turned to Starry again, "You must have a boyfriend, Starry."

The smile on Starry's face faded and it was Wyatt's turn to look at her playfully.
