Chapter 688 - Swimming Trunks (3)

"Mr. Vincent, you always comfort me with nice words." Emily sniffed and then kissed his lips. "Thank you."

Vincent held the back of her head and kissed her again. Then he said with a hoarse voice. "Accompany me to a place in two days."

"Where?" she asked.

"It's my grandfather's birthday." Vincent touched her long hair. "I'll take you to see him."

Emily nodded. "Alright, I haven't gone to see Mr. Rolando and the others for a long time."

"Good night." Vincent put the book aside and turned off the lights.

"Good night."

The guards were restlessly waiting outside the window. Half an hour later, they still did not hear anything. They could not help but stick their ears against the window.

Guard A: "Do you hear that? Is there any movement?"

Guard B: "No."

Guard C: "I didn't hear it either. Could it be that he's asleep?"

Guard D: "Hey, it's over."

On the 16th of August, it was the old master's birthday of the Scavos family. Originally, Mr. Rolando didn't want to celebrate his birthday. But Ethen treated him like his own grandfather after he became the patriarch. Sometimes he would send some fruits and local specialties. Otherwise, it would be some special tribute tea leaves. In short, although Vincent was not here, Mr. Rolando gained a more considerate Ethen.

Others were very envious. They all praised Mr. Rolando for his good fortune. Although Vincent was more capable, he was not as considerate as Ethen. In front of Ethen, many people praised him for his rare filial piety and said that he was even better than Vincent...

Mr. Rolando endured it at first, but he simply could not bear it anymore after hearing people's words. He said, "Shut up if you don't know how to speak! What's wrong with my grandson? Do I need you to help to judge whether Vincent is considerate or not? I don't need you to tell me! Yes, Ethen is also capable, but you don't have to flatter and insult my grandson! I only have one grandson, Vincent!"

Ethen had long been annoyed by the words of those people. Because he was the patriarch, it was not good for him to ask someone to drive them away. Moreover, this was Mr. Rolando's house. If he showed his anger here, it would damage Mr. Rolando's reputation. He still knew how to deal with interpersonal relationships. But he did not expect that Mr. Rolando had shocked those people with just a few words. If his close relatives were not here, Ethen would have applauded Mr. Rolando.

In fact, Ethen was really tired of sitting in the position of patriarch. He had to be careful to speak and behave himself. He had to think twice before he could say anything or do anything. His actions and his words also represented the Scavo family. In the future, he could not go to any entertainment places, and even keep relationships with some friends and so on. It simply limited all his private life after work. He had to deal with the mess of the people in the clan, just like a police officer in this area. No, it was more like a living committee officer. He felt upset and missed his cousin, but his cousin would not be here forever. Even though it was difficult to make every step, he could only hold on.

Mr. Rolando felt at ease after roaring at the people. They held their wine glasses and chuckled as they went out.

"Don't be angry. It's your birthday, and you have to cut the cake later." Ethen took a cup of tea and handed it to Mr. Rolando, "Moisten your throat and calm down. Don't bother with those people."

Mr. Rolando took a sip of tea and waved at him. "I'm going to the garden to take a rest."

"Okay, remember to cut the cake later." Ethen beckoned for someone to help Mr. Rolando over.

Mr. Rolando's body was still quite healthy, but some people were saying that he was unable to recover from his grandson's death in a car accident. He had been pretending to be physically inconvenienced for many days. Although he was able to climb to the third floor in one go, he did not forget to pretend.

After he arrived at the garden and sent the person away, Mr. Rolando crossed his legs and enjoyed his snacks while watching the moon.

A sound of footsteps came from behind him. He thought that Ethen had arranged someone to come over and take care of him. He waved his hand without looking back. "There is no need to serve here. You can go back."

"Are you watching the moon alone during your birthday?" A voice came from behind him.

Mr. Rolando was shocked for a second. Then, he completely laid down on the lounge chair and relaxed. As he munched on his snacks, he said, "Yeah, it's so nice. There are still some snacks to eat."

A shadow flew over and Mr. Rolando caught it quickly. He looked at it and became unhappy. "It's swimming trunks again. It's the same every year. Can't you change some new tricks?"

"What do you want?" Vincent said and chuckled.

Mr. Rolando pondered for a moment and said, "My granddaughter-in-law."

"Alright."

"Alright?" Mr. Rolando turned around in surprise.

"I just happened to bring her here.." Vincent said as he walked out from the shadows, holding Emily's hand.
