Chapter 87 Hellen Is Not Stupid
After saying that, Charles walked toward Hans and Hellen.
The woman wanted to chase after him, but she was thinking about something. In the end, she did not dare to do so.
Xeno put his hand in his pocket and glanced at the woman. “If you’ve gotten something good, you’d better go back now. Otherwise, you won’t get anything.”
“Charles, I love you!” The woman gritted her teeth.
Charles had already walked in front of Hans and looked at Hellen with a smile. “Hellen, where are you going? It’s all my fault that you were frightened today. I apologize to you.”
Hellen laughed. “It has nothing to do with you. I still want to find an opportunity to thank you for what happened at that bar.”
“That… that’s a small matter.” Charles smiled.
He hadn’t chatted much with Hellen before he felt a cold gaze land on his body.
Hans said, “Are you done talking? If you’re done, get out of here with your woman.”
Charles had an innocent expression on his face. “I have already broken up with her.”
The woman wasn’t far away, and she couldn’t bear to leave as she looked over with tears in her eyes.
Xeno replied from the side, “I haven’t visited Granny Grant since I came to Hail City this time. Why don’t we visit together?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Charles nodded his head in agreement.
Hans saw through their intentions and sneered, “Up to you.”
He turned around and opened the door. “Hellen, get in the car.”
Not far away, Xeno, who was getting in the car, clicked his tongue twice.
“He spoke so softly to Hellen.”
Charles drove the car and said with a mischievous smile, “Xeno, it seems that Hans is serious this time.”
Xeno didn’t mind at all. He propped his elbow against the window. “Forget it. Hellen stayed for two years, but he turned a blind eye to it. I think he’s only interested now that he’s lost it. After a while, he won’t feel that way again.”
Charles raised his eyebrows. “Let’s make a bet?”
“That depends on what the bet is.”
“Your new restaurant.”
The two of them chatted. When it came to Natalie, Xeno sneered and said, “I don’t care about Natalie. I don’t even know how Hans became blind all these years.”
Charles sighed. “Love is a mystery. Have you forgotten that he was rescued by Natalie when he was young? His childhood experiences will have a great impact on him.”
“I heard that Eddie Levi has been pursuing Hellen recently. There was even a scandal on the Internet.” Xeno rubbed his chin.
Charles sneered. “He can’t win against Hans.”
Xeno frowned and was a little worried. “Hans doesn’t understand romance at all. He’s like a block of ice. Eddie is experienced in love. Hellen is the eldest daughter of the Jovano family. She grew up under the protection. Maybe she can be coaxed out by Eddie.”
“Xeno, we grew up together. How come you haven’t improved at all when it comes to reading people?”
“What do you mean?” Xeno hissed through gritted teeth.
“Hans is not an ice cube that doesn’t understand emotions. If he wants to get something, look, when has he ever failed?”
Charles shot a mocking glance at Xeno, “Miss Jovano is not as stupid as you think she is. Is it an ordinary person that could hold up the Jovano Group when Everet was injured?”
Xeno thought for a moment and said, “You are right.”
Two cars drove into the old house one after another.
When Granny Grant heard that Hellen had come, she came out to welcome her before she even entered the house.
“Hellen, are you missing me?” Granny Grant’s face was full of smiles.
Hellen helped Granny Grant up. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Hans getting out of the car. There were a few obvious black marks on his white shirt.
It was the chestnut mark.
Charles and Xeno also got out of the car. In front of Granny Grant, they were as gentle and polite as ambitious young men.
“Hello, Granny Grant.”
“Granny Grant.”
Granny Grant recognized them and smiled. “You two naughty kids. I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
A group of people entered the main hall. It was the weekend today and Taylor was also home.
Raising her head to look at Hellen, her little face was filled with complicated emotions.
She was angry that Hellen didn’t respect her in the United Department before, but she still approved of her in his heart.
In the end, all she could do was keep a straight face and ignore Hellen.
Seeing Taylor, Xeno teased her as usual. “Taylor, did you miss me?”
Taylor snorted, “Xeno, I am a college student. Don’t talk to me like you are coaxing a child.”
Charles, on the other hand, smiled and rubbed Taylor’s head. “How are your studies recently?”
“Not bad.”
Xeno glared at him and said, “Doesn’t he treat you like a child? Your double standards are terrible.”
The few of them chatted and laughed. Hellen sat there steadily and spoke with Granny Grant.
Hans sat to one side and listened to them talk about family affairs.
One side was quiet, the other side was moving.
The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, and Granny Grant was happy as well. “I’m so happy to see you children today. You can’t leave at night. I’ll ask the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes!”
They naturally had no objections.
Granny Grant and Hellen stayed there for a while before Granny Grant reluctantly went to take a nap.
Hellen sat on the sofa and listened to their quarrel.
“Miss Jovano, can I call you Hellen?” Charles smiled.
Hellen narrowed his eyes. “Fine.”
This Charles was quick-witted and belonged to the category of a bad child. His speech was based on taking a step back to advance. He was so polite that make it difficult to reject him.
Xeno said from the side, “Then Hellen, call me Xeno as well. Don’t worry, I’ll look after you in Jena City!”
Hans added, “She doesn’t need you yet.”
Xeno raised his lips and smiled, revealing a row of white teeth. “So you mean that Hellen is under your protection?”
Hans smiled.
It was boring to just chat. Xeno suggested playing mahjong, and they went to the side hall to play.
Taylor did not know how to play mahjong. She sat by Hans’ side obediently and said, “Hans, if you lose, it’s yours. If you win, it’s mine. What do you think?”
Hans agreed.
Hellen, Charles, and Xeno each stood to the side.
After several laps, the corners of Xeno’s mouth twitched slightly.
Charles smiled and asked, “Hans, are you deliberately losing to Hellen?”
Hellen was rather puzzled as well. She had thought it was just a coincidence.
Hans’ expression was indifferent. “What a coincidence.”
Xeno said, “Really? Charles looks like it’s time for us to join forces.”
After playing mahjong for a while, Hellen felt a little tired. She looked up at Taylor and asked, “Do you want to play?”
Taylor said, “Yes.”
Hellen gave up her seat to Taylor. She walked to the sofa at one side, sat down, picked up the snacks on the table, and ate a piece. After that, she drank some juice.
Hans played mahjong and glanced at the sofa from time to time.
At the end of the circle, he threw mahjong on the table and said, “I don’t want to play anymore. It’s boring.”
