Little Bride

Chapter29

"Call her Auntie."

When I heard this sentence, I was completely stunned.

I didn't expect that it was Albert who said it. Although his tone was light, it carried an undeniable sense of oppression.

Both Vernon and his mother looked stunned.

" Uncle..." He seemed speechless.

"Albert..." his mother seemed a bit hesitant.

He calmly held my hand, comforting me, before saying, " Josephine, this brat is becoming more and more unruly. You should teach him to be polite."

"Albert, how do you expect the child..." Josephine's face turned ugly.

Albert suddenly stopped smiling, his expression turning serious. "I don't want anyone to bring up the past anymore. If anyone does, it means they can't get along with me."

He said this loudly.

Everyone in the room looked towards us.

I wanted to bury myself in his arms to hide.

"Today, I brought my girlfriend to celebrate grandpa's birthday. Let's all be happy and not dampen the mood."

After he spoke, no one dared to say anything.

I thought it was finally over, but he didn't show any intention of leaving.

He looked at Vernon again and said, "Still so unruly?"

" Uncle..." Vernon's face turned red, and he forced himself to say, "Auntie."

My scalp tingled, and I didn't dare to respond.

"That's right. If you have any problems in the future, come to me directly instead of bothering her."

I saw Vernon 's face turn pale.

But Albert calmly held my hand and walked towards the main table under everyone's gaze.

"What are you playing at?" Grandfather lowered his voice, his tone restrained.

"You always say I don't have a girlfriend, and it breaks my heart. Now I've brought one to celebrate your birthday, haven't I?" Albert sat next to his grandfather with me, his tone relaxed.

"You..." grandfather was quite angry, "What are you doing to this poor girl?"

I knew that grandfather had always liked me.

But at this moment, he must be very disappointed in me, I knew that too.

Albert just continued to serve me food, and after a while, he said, "Just this one."

Grandfather didn't say anything more.

Halfway through the meal, Albert suddenly turned his head to look at me, and asked in a low voice, "Who is really causing trouble for whom?"

As he spoke, he lightly pointed to the strawberry mark on his collar.

"You..." My face immediately turned red. Why was he still talking nonsense at a time like this?

"Albert, don't make fun of Lorraine." Grandfather couldn't help but scold him again.

"Why can't I tease my own wife?"

Alright, the whole table fell completely silent.

I didn't know how we managed to finish the meal.

Before we left, Grandfather said to me with a solemn tone, "Lorraine, although Albert is a troublemaker, he loves you. "

On the way back, I kept thinking about this sentence, and my heart felt warm.

A war without gunpowder, because of Albert and Grandfather's favoritism, ended up being much milder than imagined.

"Are you still scared?" He saw me lost in thought and asked.

"A little." I lowered my head, "Are we doing something wrong?"

"Thinking of running away again?" He asked.

"Not really, just... it's a feeling that's hard to describe."

He paused for a second, then hugged me, "I'm sorry for worrying my little bride."

"Ah..."

"Don't overthink things, leave everything to me, okay?"

"Okay."

"Go to my place?"

"What?" I realized, "I'll just go back to dorm."

"What are you afraid of?" he looked at me with a smile, "I'm not that bad, I won't touch you."

I...

Help!
