?Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Unfortunately Surnamed Gu Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Unfortunately Surnamed Gu “What could he possibly be so busy with all day, other than spending time with that girl!”
Hearing the elderly lady say this, Grace Harper spoke up in a tone of grievance, “Cherish isn’t having an easy time either. I saw her at People’s Hospital today. Her brother seems to have been injured and is in the hospital. It’s only natural that William is concerned.”
The older relatives interpreted her words in this way: Cherish Turner was pulling William Griffith away to care for her injured brother. Therefore, William’s decision not to accompany Grace was because of Cherish.
“Cherish Turner has a brother?” The old lady was shrewd. When she first met Cherish, William had said that her father was in the import-export business abroad, leaving only Cherish in the country. So, how does she have a brother now?
“Ah, I’m not entirely certain, but it seems to be the case.” Grace answered her grandmother’s question as such.
May Campbell naturally did not want the old lady to think too much about this. After all, William was her son, and she was reluctant to blame him. Besides, May was happy to see that William, who rarely showed interest in girls, had finally found someone.
“Grace, you should rest first. When you and Yannis came back last time, your aunt had arranged a room for you. I think you should move in with us instead of staying outside. It will be easier for your family to take care of you.” They all felt somewhat guilty towards Grace because of what had happened, so they were trying their best to make amends.
“There’s no need, Aunt. I can take care of myself, and it’s convenient for me to go to work because my place is near the company.”
“What work? Grace, do you not understand the situation you are in?” Her grandmother was still deeply concerned about her, if not for her sake then for the sake of the child in her belly.
“You have two choices, Grace: either keep working but move in with us or continue living on your own but stop going to work.”
Grace agreed to move into the Griffith house since her grandmother had put it that way.
The maid helped Grace upstairs, and the old lady sat on the couch, seething with anger.
Thankfully, the grandfather was not around. If he were, he would definitely discipline his two grandsons severely.
“Mom, calm down. When William returns, let him explain it to you himself. He is not an inconsiderate person. Rest assured.” May pacified her, and the old lady finally felt somewhat better.
However, she started questioning Cherish’s identity again.
“May, could you investigate that young lady’s background? We cannot welcome a girl of unknown origins into the Griffith family.”
On this matter, the old lady and the grandfather held the same view, as they had learned this lesson before.
“Mom, personally, I agree with Yannis. A girl’s background isn’t important as long as William likes her and she’s good to Lewis. After all, we are getting older. We should let the children solve their own problems. Even if Cherish is not from a wealthy family and is just an ordinary person, can you separate them? Have you seen how William treats Cherish? Can he let her go? In my opinion, Cherish is a good girl. If they were together, I would be supportive.”
After all, William was her own son. Ever since he had Lewis, she hadn’t seen him with any woman. She truly sympathized with his loneliness.
“What do you know? Alright, alright, no need to try persuading me now. Grace is upstairs. You should go and see her so that she wouldn’t feel we don’t care about her.”
Hearing her mother-in-law’s words, May had no choice but to go upstairs.
The old lady had other thoughts. If this young lady had any other surname, it would be fine. But the fact that her surname was Turner made it impossible for her to not investigate further.
