Chapter 287
Rupert did not dare to say a word.
At first, he intended to change the subject by asking about wedding affairs. Since they couldn't talk about the wedding any longer, it was better to end it quickly.
The fortune teller Erika warned that if he wanted to have a girlfriend, he should watch his mouth—don't spill the tea outside, nor talk gossip too much.
Rupert shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'd go to the hospital for a surgical operation today."
Along with the words, Rupert stood up and was about to open the door and walk out.
But he paused in amazement as soon as the door opened.
Unexpectedly, at the door of the study was a hot dish of sweet and sour mandarin fish. He didn't notice it then and almost stepped on it.
"Who placed the dish at the door?"
Rupert asked a cleaning servant just nearby.
The servant blinked in puzzlement and answered, "Well, Mrs. Grant made this special dish for Mr. Grant. Why was it on the floor?"
It must be polluted on the floor and Mr. Grant would not taste it anymore!
What's the matter with Mrs. Grant? How could she blunder like this?
"Oh shit." Rupert's eyes popped out suddenly. "When did she come here?"
And then he turned and looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian, she didn't hear everything then, did she?"
Sebastian stood up at once in the room and asked the servant in a low voice, "Where is she?"
The servant shook his head. "I don't know. I didn't see her."
Sebastian was impatient with the servant's words and started to look for Bonnie himself.
He walked around the house, but Bonnie was not in the Sunshine Villa at all.
Finally, it was the guard on the gate who told Sebastian that Mrs. Grant ran out alone fifteen minutes ago.
Note that she ran out of the villa.
It seemed that something had gripped Sebastian's heart tightly and thus he felt it was hard to breathe.
She hadn't gone off to do something silly, had she?
But just as he was going to let the whole villa look for Bonnie, a little figure appeared in a corner.
It was Bonnie!
Sebastian strode forward, a hint of worry on his beautiful face. "Where did you go?"
"To buy a bucket of paint." Bonnie shook the bucket in her hand, no change of expression on her comely face. "What's up?"
Her cool tone did not show anything unusual.
Sebastian was made speechless, his words getting stuck in his throat.
"Have you made that sweet and sour mandarin fish for me?" he asked after a moment.
Bonnie's expression was still cool. "Oh, that fish. I actually made it for my four babies. But I heard it was a little bit stale. So, I gave it to you."
Gave?
Sebastian frowned a little.
The dish was put on the floor outside of the study. How could it be called "gave"?
However, he was not in the mood to deal with it. He asked Bonnie, "What did you hear outside the study?"
"I put the fish down and then left. I heard faintly you were talking with Rupert. Why? Did you guys have a secret conversation that you were afraid to let me know?" she asked in return.
Sebastian denied it immediately, "Nothing. We're just chatting."
"I see." Bonnie nodded. "In that case, I heard nothing."
Then she shook her paint bucket. "Mr. Grant, did you finish your inquiry? I've got stuff to do. Please step aside." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Before Sebastian replied, Bonnie had moved around him and headed for the garage.
A violent throbbing occurred between Sebastian's eyebrows. He had sensed something was wrong!
