Chapter 479 He Already Knew About the Events from Ten Years Ago
It seemed that the older generation had such a strong obsession with children. When they found out Ashley was pregnant, they were so persistent. Now it’s Marjorie, and it’s still the same. I don’t know how sure they are that the child in Marjorie’s belly is actually Walter’s.
She had already said so much, so naturally, I had no reason to continue to linger. Besides, Stanley had just said that Ezra was not dead. I thought that if I didn’t show up, he might go crazy and directly attack Walter.
Without speaking further to the old lady, I stood up, went to the bedroom on the second floor, and took the Buddha beads that were auctioned off at the auction. I came downstairs, looked at the old lady and said, “Then I won’t disturb you anymore.”
The old lady had a smile on her face, still gentle and kind. But the more she was like this, the more I felt the irony. People in this world. are always so hypocritical. Just look, even driving people away is so hypocritical.
I had just reached the door and was about to enter the pa*sword when the door suddenly opened from the outside.
Seeing Walter rush over, I was stunned, somewhat surprised. According to convention, he shouldn’t have been in such a hurry to return, especially knowing that Ezra wasn’t dead, he certainly wouldn’t just sit and wait for death.
“Going out?” He asked, seeing me holding something and having changed my shoes.

I nodded, without saying a word.
A voice echoed through the hall, “Walter has arrived.”
It was the old lady’s voice.
Walter heard a sound and paused slightly. After glancing at me, he finally looked up towards the living room. Seeing the old lady, he was somewhat surprised. He took my hand and walked towards the living room, looking at the old lady and asking, “Grandma, how come you’re here?”
Watching Walter lead me by the hand, the old lady didn’t change her expression but furrowed her brows, not rushing to speak. Instead, she gestured for him to sit down first. Walter pursed his l*ps, pulling me to sit next to him. Clearly, he had no intention of avoiding the issue.
There was even an intention to deliberately get close to me.
The old lady saw all of this.
After sitting down, I tried to pull my hand away from Walter’s grip, but he held on tightly, not giving me a chance to resist. He looked at the old lady and repeated the question he had just asked, “Grandma, how did you get here?”
Seeing him holding onto me tightly, the old lady frowned and said, “You haven’t been back to the old house for the past two days, and you were always busy when I called you. I missed you, so I came to see you.”
Walter said directly, “I just renovated this house not long ago, and I haven’t told anyone that I’ve invited them to live here. Grandma, do you now have the ability to predict the future?”
The way this younger generation spoke to their elders truly created an inappropriate atmosphere.

The old lady’s face fell as she looked at him and said, “Walter, what kind of talk is this? Can’t I even come to see you now?”
Walter pursed his l*ps, saying, “Grandma, are you sure you came to see me?”
Even I noticed that Walter’s mood was off at this moment. He had always respected his elders, and despite his anger, he would never speak to them in such a way. However, just now, after only a few words, every sentence he spoke was filled with impatience and questioning. This was unusual, as the old lady often acted without consulting others.
Not to him!
The old lady was also taken aback, probably not expecting Walter’s reaction to be so strong. She looked at him and said, “Walter, what do you mean by this? Do you think grandma is meddling too much and hindering you?”
Walter frowned, “Does Grandma think I have to obey you in everything?” Catching sight of the invitation on the table, he suddenly changed his expression and reached out to take it, looking at the old lady, “How come I didn’t know about this wedding? Is Grandma planning to tie me up and take me there on the wedding day?”
The old lady was somewhat bewildered, not because of the invitation, but because of Walter’s reaction. She looked at him, her face not looking too good, and said, “I did all this for your own good, Walter. Are you blaming your grandmother now?”
“Did I dare?” Walter spoke, his face very somber.
The atmosphere in the room became so heavy for a moment that it was somewhat suffocating. Seeing this, Dale turned to Walter and said, “Mr. Walter, the old lady is just concerned about you.”

Walter pursed his l*ps, remained silent, clearly he hadn’t taken in what was said.
The old lady looked heartbroken, her aged eyes reddened, as she said to him, “Walter, what’s happened to you? You’re not usually like this. Grandma knows that it’s not right to arrange your life this way, but what about Marjorie if we don’t? She’s already carrying your child, you have to take responsibility. Besides, you’ve seen what your father brought back. Michael entrusted his wife and child to your father, and now that your father is gone, we can’t just ignore them. We can’t be so heartless!”
