Chapter 245
When Karl returned to the room, Alyssa was still not awake.
He had just smoked a cigarette, and the smell of smoke remained on his fingers.
He put his coat by the bed, took a look at Alyssa, and then went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
When he came out, he saw Alyssa holding the quilt leaning against the bed, with a dumb expression on her face. It was obvious that she had just woken up and was still awake.
“Woke up.”
Karl walked to the bed and sat down.
Alyssa frowned: “Did you smoke?”
Karl was taken aback. He didn’t expect Alyssa’s nose to be so sharp, but he nodded and admitted, “Yeah.”
Then he added another sentence: “I only ordered one and took a few mouthfuls.”
Alyssa’s nose is more sensitive than before when she was not pregnant.
“I thought you didn’t smoke before.” Alyssa had hardly seen Karl smoke before, so she thought that Karl didn’t smoke.
Karl chuckled lightly and said nothing.
He does not smoke much, he is not addicted to smoking.
After all, smoking hurts his body, he takes his life very much.
But there have been too many things recently, and occasionally he couldn’t help but want to smoke one, and it was mostly when Alyssa was away that he would smoke.
Karl groaned for a moment, then suddenly said, “When you see Gerald in the future, stay away from him.”
Although he had arranged many bodyguards to follow Alyssa when he was away, Alyssa would inevitably collide with Gerald in the old house these days.
Alyssa’s outer light caught a glimpse of Karl’s coat on the side of the bed. She remembered that Karl’s coat was on the sofa when she slept before.
It seems that after she fell asleep, Karl went out.
Alyssa asked guessingly, “You met him again? What did you say?”
“I didn’t say anything.” The expression on Karl’s face was a little cold: “What else can he and I say now.”
Alyssa held Karl’s hand comfortably, and said nothing.
…
There was nothing to do in the old house, Alyssa basically stayed in the room except to eat.
However, after dinner in the evening, Elder Adams asked her to watch TV with him in the room.
Alyssa thought that Elder Adams had something to say, but he really just asked her to watch TV with him.
The programs that the elderly like to watch are comedians and dramas. Alyssa feels a bit boring, but Mr. Adams can only accompany her.
Fortunately, Elder Adams still cared about Alyssa’s body and asked her to watch with him for an hour before urging her to return to the room to rest.
Elder Adams squinted at Alyssa for a few seconds: “You go back and rest first, let Karl come over, I have something to tell him.”
Before Elder Adams asked Alyssa to watch TV with him, of course Karl had to follow her, but Alyssa didn’t let him follow.
The old man was always a particular person, but Karl was too caring about her.
“Yeah.” Alyssa stood up and started to walk outside.
“Warm and warm.”
When she approached the door, she heard Mr. Adams calling her from behind.
Alyssa turned around: “What’s the matter, grandpa.”
Elder Adams was a romantic figure when he was young, but because of the family marriage, he got married very early.
It is said that Karl’s grandma was two years older than Father Adams, and they were quite harmonious after marriage, but he is not a family member.
There is a regular wife in the family, and there are many little lovers outside, and some illegitimate children.
However, most of them are not very climatic, and none of them has been taken to Adams’ family by his fancy.
Alyssa still heard these things from Tina.
Elder Adams is a person. Even though he has raised so many women and children outside, they have never been to Adams’ family, but he has given enough face to his wife.
Because of the early marriage, even if his oldest grandson Gerald is 28 years old, he is only in his early 70s this year.
At this age, ordinary retired elderly people have already cultivated their moral character at home, and if there is no major illness, they are still very tough.
With such a good family as Adams’, Mr. Adams has the best food and drink, and he also has a dedicated nutritionist.
It’s just that, at this time, the appearance of Mr. Adams sitting alone on the sofa, looking abnormally sad and old, his body faded-a bit of the majesty of the patriarch, but he looked a little tired and old, a little annoying. People have mercy.
At this moment, Alyssa clearly felt that Elder Adams was not feeling well.
“The previous thing was that Grandpa was always confused. From now on, I won’t interfere with you and Karl. You two should be good.”
Elder Adams’s tone was a bit low and dumb, giving people a feeling of confessing to the funeral.
Alyssa’s face changed slightly, and her voice couldn’t help but raise a little higher: “Grandpa!”
She knew that Mr. Adams was talking about sending Mattie there before, and Alyssa did complain a little bit against him, because this matter was grievous, but she didn’t care too much.
Because Karl was very concerned about her.
As long as Karl has her in his heart, it doesn’t matter to her what others think or do.
However, Mr. Adams’ tone at this time made her very uneasy.
“Okay, let’s go, it’s almost ten o’clock, tell Karl to come over a little bit faster, I will go to bed later.” Elder Adams waved his hand, looking impatiently listening to her more.
Alyssa gave him an uneasy look, opened the door and hurried back to the room.
Karl was leaning against the bed in his pajamas and playing games with his mobile phone. His face was still expressionless, it seemed that the game was not fun.
The act of looking at the door from time to time shows that he has no intention of playing games at this time.
As soon as he saw Alyssa pushing the door in, he threw his phone aside, got up and got out of bed and walked towards Alyssa.
“Isn’t the old man embarrassing you?” Karl spoke while silently looking at her.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, she withdrew her gaze.
Alyssa shook her head, and relayed what Elder Adams had said to Karl: “Grandpa asked you to go there, saying that there is something to tell you, let you go there quickly, and he will go to bed later.”
After hearing this, Karl thought for a moment before asking, “What else? What did he say to you?”
“He didn’t say anything, I was watching TV with him.” Alyssa frowned, “But I think Grandpa is a bit strange, and his tone is a bit wrong…”
She really felt that Elder Adams was confessing to the funeral, but she couldn’t tell it in front of Karl.
After all, Mr. Adams is a relative of Karl.
Alyssa sighed: “You will know when you go.”
She could hear that Elder Adams’s tone was not right, Karl was so smart, he could definitely hear it, maybe he could find something else.
Seeing Alyssa frowning and sighing, Karl’s expression also became serious.
“I’ll go there, you go to bed.” After confessing to Alyssa, he left.
Chapter 246
Karl went to Elder Adams’s room.
When the servant guarding the door saw Karl, he bowed respectfully and shouted, “Sir.”
Then, he helped Karl open the door.
As soon as Karl stepped in, the servant closed the door behind him.
Elder Adams was still sitting on the sofa, with his head up and leaning back on the back of the sofa. The TV was playing opera, and the sound was not loud.
Karl approached, only to realize that Elder Adams had fallen asleep with his eyes lightly.
Before Karl could speak, Old Adams suddenly opened his eyes again, and there was a moment of turbidity in his always sharp eyes.
He stared at Karl in front of him, as if he had been frightened, his pupils shrank sharply.
But soon, his eyes regained clarity.
“coming.”
His voice was a little dumb, and when he heard it in Karl’s ears, he felt that this didn’t seem to be said to him.
Karl frowned and sat down opposite Mr. Adams, and looked at him carefully.
He thought of the way Alyssa was hesitant to talk to him when she went back before. Now that he saw Mr. Adams look like this, he understood why.
He can be so arrogant in front of Mr. Adams, and he can be tolerated by Mr. Adams, mainly because he thinks Karl is like him, so he naturally loves him a little bit more, so he won’t care about Karl’s arrogance.
Mr. Adams is always shrewd and wise, and will never show weakness in front of others easily.
Karl was accustomed to the old man’s style of saying that he was one and the same, and when he saw the obvious fatigue on his face and the fragility of an elderly person, he was a little surprised.
Karl frowned tighter, and asked him directly, “What’s wrong with you?”
He and Mr. Adams are two people, neither of whom accepts each other, saying that they are grandparents and grandchildren, and more often they are like a friendship between two rivals.
Although Mr. Adams had asked him not to investigate his mother’s affairs, which made him a little alienated from Mr. Adams, he still cared about Mr. Adams in his heart.
There are natural reasons why Mr. Adams refused to let him check his mother’s affairs, but it will never be because his mother’s affairs are related to Mr. Adams.
“Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. After the New Year, I will be one year older and live one day less, so I want to say a few more words to you.” The Elder Adams looked at him, his eyes confused.
The tone of the Elder Adams made Karl a little irritable, and said impatiently, “Say things quickly.”
Elder Adams didn’t change his face because of his tone, but smiled and said, “Among the younger generation of the family, you and Luther are the most sincere and serious people. Too sincere is not enough.”
“Alyssa is young and has a very different personality from yours. She is a good child, but as your wife, I think she is inappropriate…”
Seeing that Karl raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, Mr. Adams smiled and said, “I haven’t finished speaking yet, what’s the hurry!”
Karl snorted and leaned back, waiting for him to continue.
“I have good patience. I let her watch operas with me for an hour without being impatient. She has a right mind and looks beautiful. When I was young, I would be tempted to see such a beautiful girl.”
The first half is okay, but the second half sounds a bit wrong in Karl’s ears.
Karl raised his eyebrows and said with a dazzling face: “Old man, speak well.”
Old Adams frowned, slapped his slap on the sofa, pointed at Karl and said, “You kid, I am your grandfather anyway. When I was a kid, you came to me. You have peed on my body and I never hit you. Now that you have a wife, don’t let me put my eyes on it? Do you have the ability to try talking to her like this in front of Alyssa?”
The old man’s full-fledged look was much pleasing to the eye.
Karl tilted his head and said with a composure: “She is a little girl. If you want to give in, do you have to compare her with other girls when you get older?”
Elder Adams was so angry that he directly picked up the remote control placed on the coffee table in front of him and threw it at Karl.
Karl couldn’t avoid it, he was slammed by the remote control abruptly, and he took a breath of pain.
Karl pressed the place where it was hit by the remote control: “If you can’t tell me, just do it?”
Elder Adams constricted his face, and said in a cold tone that Karl had never heard before, “Karl, I have lived through this year. If you want to know, as long as I know it, I will tell you everything. “
It turned out that the old man had said so much, but this sentence was what he wanted to say the most.
Karl’s whole body froze there, and there was no response for a long time.
The two looked at each other for a long while before Karl sat upright and found his own voice: “Including my mother’s business?”
Elder Adams nodded: “Yes, including your mother’s business.”
Karl knew his unique character best, and knew that since Mr. Adams had already promised, he would not regret it.
He pursed his lips and replied solemnly, “Okay.”
…
It was eleven o’clock when he came out from Mr. Adams, and it was late at night.
In the corridor, the wall lamp was turned on and the light was dim. From time to time, servants walked by, calling him low.
“Sir.”
“hmm.”
Karl walked forward step by step, very slowly.
He was certain that his grandfather was not involved in the matter of his mother back then, but he might know something.
And what Grandpa knew was most likely only after the kidnapping happened.
When he returned to the old house with Alyssa for the first time, his grandfather ordered him not to check his mother again.
Since Grandpa was not a participant, there was only one reason why he prevented Karl from investigating his mother…
Grandpa was afraid that he would find out the truth.
The truth may be an unspeakable secret.
Perhaps it is a secret that cannot be known.
To be more specific, the truth of the matter is so heavy that even a person like Grandpa who has seen big waves in the intriguing business world can hardly bear it.
And now, Grandpa is willing to tell him the truth.
Then what irritated Grandpa?
When Karl came back to his senses, he found that he had already reached the door of the room.
“Sir, haven’t slept yet?”
Another servant passed by.
Karl glanced back at the servant.
There are many people in the Adams’ family and many servants.
But what do so many people have to do with him?
Looking back, he looked at the door in front of him.
Only the woman in this room gave him a real sense of peace of mind.
He pushed the door in, and Alyssa walked over immediately.
“How? What did Grandpa tell you? Don’t you think he is weird too?”
Obviously she had been waiting for him to come back, so she kept twittering as soon as he walked in.
Karl just walked into the room without speaking.
Alyssa looked up to see his expression and found that he had gone to Mr. Adams’ room and came back, which also became a bit strange.
