Bride of the Mysterious CEO

Chapter 23 Obtain His Trust

Adeline heard the sound of the door closing and her face was full of dissatisfaction. “Why did he suddenly become so angry today? Did something happen in the charity auction today?”

Adeline did not participate in today’s charity auction. When she returned, she saw Mason’s unhappy expression. She thought that he was angry because his business abroad was not successful.

Jonathan sat on the sofa and could not help but fall into deep thought. This time, Mason was different from before. Even if he did something like this before, Mason would not be so angry.

Elena was not favored now. Even if he let her marry a cripple, his father should not be so angry.

“Dad, don’t worry. Anyway, Elena has already married to Ryan. My grandfather has already acquiesced to the matter between me and Roman. My marriage with him is now set in stone.”

Amara did not care. Even if her grandfather investigated this matter, the ones who let Elena marry to Ryan were her father and mother. This matter had nothing to do with her.

Jonathan let out a long sigh. “Today’s matter can be considered to be in the past. It’s just that I don’t know if he will mention this matter again in the future.”

“Grandpa went to the charity auction today to talk to Ryan. I saw that grandpa’s face was very ugly. I don’t know what Ryan said to grandpa.” Amara had been staring at Elena and Ryan, thinking that her grandfather was blaming Elena and Ryan. In the end, he had vented all his anger on her.

“Anyway, Elena has already married Ryan. This matter has already been settled. We just need to protect Amara.” Adeline knew that Mason did not like her, but she had endured it for so many years, so she did not want to argue with him.

“Now we can only do this. Your grandfather has already said that if I still want you to marry into the Monor family, I will have to listen to his opinion. I will go and ask him what his plan is tomorrow.”

Actually, there was another thing that Jonathan couldn’t figure out. Was it because he didn’t listen to his father’s arrangement that made his father so angry, or was there some other reason?

When necessary, he needed to find someone to investigate what was going on.

The next morning, Elena was woken up by the ringing of her phone. It was actually her grandfather. Even since she moved out of the Lewis family, he had never called her again.

The originally sleepy Elena instantly woke up. After the call connected, she said gently, “Grandpa, do you have something to tell me this early in the morning?”

“Last time when you came home, you were wronged. I know you are very disappointed. Today, you can bring Ryan back again.”

Mason’s tone was much gentler compared to the last time at the charity auction. This made Elena a little uncomfortable.

“But …”

“Don’t worry. No one will bully you.” Mason understood Elena’s dilemma. In just a few days, so many things had happened in Lewis family. It was reasonable for her to be disappointed.

Elena was in a trance. Her grandfather had never taken the initiative to talk to her like this. When her father was still alive, her relationship with her grandfather was not bad. It was a pity that after her father died, she moved away from the Lewis family. After that, her relationship with her grandfather faded.

“I know. I will bring Ryan back with me this afternoon.”

“Okay.” He did not say anything else. The two of them didn’t have anything else to say, so they hung up.

Ryan held his head with one hand and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. “You have finished talking?”

Elena was shocked. “You’re awake.”

Then, her face instantly turned red. She had never shared a bed with him before. This awkward scene made her feel very embarrassed.

“When you picked up the phone just now, I was already awake. Does your grandfather want you to go back?”

“No, he wants me to go back with you. It’s probably because what happened before made him feel ashamed. That’s why he wants to invite the two of us to go back again.”

Elena did not hide anything from him at all.

Ryan sat up straight and looked at her. “Don’t you want to go back to Lewis family?”

A trace of disappointment flashed across Elena’s face. “So what if I go back? I will definitely be bullied by my uncle’s family. I might as well move out and have some peace.”

The Lewis family was a place that made her sad. She really didn’t want to go back. Previously, her father and mother lived there with her. Although she was very happy, her uncle and his family had been plotting against her.

“This is because what you should have was taken away by your uncle. If I were you, I would think of ways to regain your grandfather’s trust. This way, you will have a chance to return to the Lewis family. Those people don’t want you live a good life, so why do you want them to live a good life?”

Ryan reminded Elena in a serious manner, hoping that Elena could recognize her current status and identity.

Elena furrowed her brows tightly. “My uncle and aunt misunderstood that I stole something back then. Grandfather’s attitude towards me declined sharply. My grandfather will not let me go back.”

Elena was born stubborn. Otherwise, she would not have been in such a deadlock with the Lewis family.

Ryan saw her indifferent look and could not help reminding her, “If you want to go back, you must obtain your grandfather’s trust. The only thing you need to do now is to please your grandfather. The incident that happened when we returned to the Lewis family had caused your grandfather to be dissatisfied with your uncle. You can take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.”

Elena raised her eyes and looked over, “Don’t tell me that all of this was set up by you?”

She felt that he knew these things very well. This was like a plan that he had thought of.

“You really think too highly of me. I’m just a cripple, how could I set up such a big trap?”

After Ryan finished speaking, he propped his body up and placed his legs on the wheelchair. Then, he went to the wardrobe, picked up the cloths he wanted to change into, and put them on.

Elena stared blankly at Ryan’s actions. It had to be said that even his changing of cloths was so graceful. It could be seen that if he was really not a cripple, there would be definitely many women who wanted to get close to him.
