SWNOVELS Chapter 483 All Is Ready Except His Lordship's Death.
was sure about it, "Sweetheart, as you know, an arrow shot out from the bow stands no chance of return."
This was a serious thing, and no one could find out about it. That was what Jessie Luo thought to herself, so she looked warily from left to right to make sure that there was no one else besides Rosy and herself. "Have you thought it through?" She wanted to know if Rosy "I don't want to go back on my decision, " Rosy answered, "My grandfather deserves to die. That damn old man treats me so badly. I'm couldn't be more happy about his death." Rosy's grudges had started to flow out through her anger.
"That's all right. But you have to calm down and take it easy now. We have to make a thorough and flawless plan," Jessie advised Rosy.
"I've thought it all over. And yes, you're right. There is indeed no need to worry now. My grandfather said that the holiday resort and the Sky Building would only be taken over by Linda after the babies in her stomach would be born. She would be due in two months, and thus, as long as we can come up with a great plan in the following two months..."
The more Rosy thought about it, the more thrilled she was. Why hadn't she thought of this scheme before? Lord Nalan's death would largely do her good. When that would happen, she could possibly even succeed all of the properties of the Nalan clan. Although Lord Nalan didn't like her at all, her father and her brother both loved her very much. She could do anything she wanted to do after her grandfather's death because Rosy knew that she had the favors of her immediate family members. Now, everything was ready to devise Lord Nalan's death.
At Linda's Garden, Nalan Mansion
Nelson came to look for Linda Xia in the Garden shortly after she had gotten back there. He came a little late because he had to deal with some other things first.
Despite the queries of everyone concerned, Nelson himself didn't know who had put those lavenders in the dining room. However, he knew that Lady Rosy used to enjoy the fragrance of the lavenders, so she would ask the servants to put some lavenders in the dining room. But that was long time ago. It might have just been an accident, Linda thought. She, then, decided to stop looking into these lavenders.
Although she got uncomfortable with the fragrance of those lavenders from the dining room, she felt much better now and the flowers seemed to have little harm to the babies in her present stage of pregnancy, so Linda decided to let the matter go.
After all, she had been pregnant for already eight months. She was confident that the fragrance of lavender would not cause her a miscarriage that easily.
Linda had slept well that night. The next morning, Lord Nalan sent for a servant to invite Linda to have breakfast in his garden.
Different from the family feast the night before, Linda and Lord Nalan had breakfast together without anyone else. After eating, Linda accompanied her grandfather to play chess for a while.
They played chess until noon. Linda started to feel a little tired, so they had to stop after a while. Linda hadn't played chess with her grandfatherp for a long time. Lord Nalan's chess skills were so exquisite that she, an amateur, could hardly defeat him. But he would also give her some chances to win depending on the situation on the chessboard.
Otherwise, Linda would end up crying for losing the game over and over again.
After lunch, Lord Nalan suddenly asked Linda to go to the study with him.
Upon seeing a very serious expression on his face, Linda was curious as to what he would want from her. She followed her grandfather into the study without saying a word.
Inside the study, he took two files from a secret drawer of this room. He handed them to her and said, "Linda, here you are. I know that my health is deteriorating, and maybe one day, I will die during my sleep. The papers can be regarded as my promise to your babies. Since they are still too young, you and Young Master Mu can keep them until they are old enough to take over."
Linda looked over the files and found that these were the certificates of property rights of the Sky Building and the holiday resort.
The certificates had Linda Xia as the owner of the estate, and it seemed to have been done for quite some time judging from the date on the paper. It meant that Lord Nalan started to prepare the gift for his great-grandchild a long time ago before knowing that Linda was expecting twins.
"Grandfather, there is no need to hand me these certificates in such a hurry. Neither of my babies has been born yet, but you are so eager to prepare these presents for them."
Linda Xia felt a little abashed by these presents. Her grandfather had been so attentive to her and her unborn babies that he had prepared everything for them in advance.
"I intended to give you this gift several months ago. Your babies are also my great-grandchildren. The truth is, the Sky Building was supposed to be your baby's gift upon being born, and the resort would be given to him for his first birthday. But much to my surprise, I had never imagined that you would be pregnant with twins, so I have to change the plan and give these two gifts to your two babies. As for their first birthday gifts, I will give them something else. I won't treat your children shabbily."
Shabby? Linda actually felt so privilege and flattered to have received the gifts from her grandfather. Lord Nalan's preparation was so thoughtful. He gave the babies real estate as presents, which overwhelmed Linda with surprise and joy.
"You don't need to feel guilty. You deserve all these things. Your mother is my beloved daughter, but I really regret that I wasn't able to protect her from suffering those horrible things. Therefore, I hope to compensate for that with you and your babies."
Lord Nalan admitted that, at the very beginning, the reason why he cared about Linda Xia so dearly was just out of his guilt for not being able to give Sherry what she had deserved.
He just wanted to compensate for it. But now, things had changed. He really loved Linda Xia very much.
As the saying goes, "If you love me, you should love my dog." Therefore, the two babies in Linda's stomach were also cherished treasures of him.
Linda chatted with her grandfather for a while. After that, they went to the garden to take a stroll. As they were sitting on a bench to rest, a servant came to inform them that Young Master Mu had arrived.
Linda Xia could easily recognize the man of great charm who stood at a distance. As he walked toward Linda and Lord Nalan, he was smiling at her with love.
Whenever Linda Xia saw Charles Mu, her heartbeat would go fast. She was captivated by his smiles, especially when he would stare at her affectionately. Her heart was beating so quickly!
"Honey," Linda Xia sweetly called out to him. An expression of happiness arose spontaneously on her face. She stood up and trotted toward Charles Mu. Seeing her running, Charles Mu opened his arms to give her a hug.
Linda instinctively jumped into his embrace.
"Oh, honey, be careful! You might fall!"
Seeing the intimate relationship between Young Master Mu and Lady Linda, the servants beside them couldn't help but secretly chuckle. How picturesque the scene in front of them was!
It was said that Young Master Mu was as cold as an iceberg. He always had on a solemn expression on his face whenever he talked with other women. He would also directly reject the women who admired him. But to their surprise, Lady Linda could easily win his fondness. From his angular face, they could see his great love for Lady Linda.
Charles Mu held Linda Xia in his arms after she had jumped into his embrace, and then, he carefully placed her on the ground. He held Linda's hand and went to Lord Nalan, greeting him, "Grandfather, long time no see."
Furrowing his brows, Lord Nalan pretended to be angry with Charles Mu. "Yes, you haven't come to visit me for several months. Why? You don't think there is a need to pay an old man like me a visit after getting married to his granddaughter?"
Charles Mu smiled with politeness and replied to him, "It is all my fault. I was wrong. Now, as you can see, I am personally here to apologize to you."
Charles visited Lord Nalan just this once after he got married to Linda. Was that an apology? What a joke! Lord Nalan was unwilling to accept an apology like this.
"That's not enough. What else can you show me your sincerity?" asked he. 0000
