Chapter 534 The Grandpa Who Refused to Forgive
Ste nodded. “Yeah, he’s still alive.”
“Who was the one that dered him dead back then?<b>” </b>Madam L frowned.
That was no small mistake.
If someone couldn’t even determine whether a person was alive or not, they had no business calling themselves a doctor.
“Eddie,” Ste said, her voice full of exasperation.
The moment she mentioned his name, she was already speechless.
“No wonder.”
Madam L didn’t even know where to begin with Eddie.
“I seriously don’t understand how he ever earned that ‘genius doctor‘ title.”
To the outside world, Eddie’s medical skills were practically mythical.
But the people who actually knew him? They knew better.
While the two of them were chatting, Abraham and Marie came in from outside.
“Grandma,” Marie called first.
Her face was still bruised.
The moment she leaned in closer, Madam L was visibly startled.
“Goodness, what happened to your face? Who hit you?”
That kind of bruise could onlye from a beating.
Ste turned to look at Marie, clearly worried too.
Marie instinctively touched her cheek. It really did hurt… “Ugh, that bastard’s guys hit pretty
hard.”
Even her lips felt swollen.

<i>Why did </i><i>that </i><i>sound </i><i>so</i><i>… </i><i>suggestive</i>?
Madam L’s face darkened immediately at the words “that bastard.”
“Dan’s men?<b>” </b>
Marie nodded. “Yeah, ugh, let’s not talk about it. Wow, what’s with all these jewels? Are you showing off or something?”
Madam L gave her a p on the arm. “Watch your mouth. Do I look like someone who would show off?”
“No.”
Then what was with all this stuff on disy?
“Ste’s getting married. These are part of her dowry. I was letting her pick something out. You pick too.”
“I’m not getting married. Let Ste take it all,” Marie said.
She never really cared for this kind of stuff.
Ste was more girly anyway, so it suited her more.
“I already have too much. I don’t need any more,” Ste said.
She’d been gone for years, and in that time, her mom and Marie had filled her closet with so many things she didn’t even have room for them anymore.
Watching the two girls push the treasure back and forth, Madam L got annoyed.
“Then I’ll just throw it all out?”
“Don’t–fine, I’ll pick something.”
The second she heard that tone, Marie knew Grandma was getting mad. She quickly stepped up to pretend to choose something.
Not that it mattered–whatever she picked would end up with Ste anyway. Marie had no clue what to do with any of it.
Abraham stepped behind Ste, picked up a bracelet, and slipped it onto her wrist.
Madam L nced over. “Ahem, that one was meant for Marie.”
That one was no chean trinket
Chapter 534 The Grandpa Who Refused to Forgive
That one was no cheap trinket.
Still, that brat had a good eye.
Marie waved her hand. “Give it to Ste. I don’t want it. I don’t even like it.”
Wow, Madam L wasn’t even trying to hide her favoritism.
And Ste was standing right here. Wasn’t she afraid of hurting her feelings<b>? </b>

But Madam L clearly knew what Marie was thinking and huffed, “I already have something better for Ste. Why are you fussing over this one?”
She said it like she wasn’t ying favorites.
Please–of course she was. One was her precious granddaughter–inw, and pregnant too!
At the café.
When Abraham brought Ste over, they saw Mr. Faust ying with the teapot she’d brought him.
His face was practically glowing with delight.
Ste nced at Abraham, who gave a soft chuckle. “So proud.”
Earlier, Ste had told him over the phone that Grandpa didn’t seem to like the gift.
<i>Really</i>? <i>That </i><i>was </i>what not <i>liking </i><i>looked </i>like?
Abraham cleared his throat twice.
Mr. Faust instantly snapped back to attention and turned to look at them.
The moment he saw Ste, his face stiffened and he quickly set the teapot down.
“Hmph! Don’t think you can win me over just by bringing back some trinket. You ran away for three years! You think that’s something I can just forgive?”
Ste pouted. “But didn’t you just say it was fine?”
Just a few minutes ago, he’d sounded like he was over it. Now suddenly he was grumpy again?
“Hmph! I only said that so your grandma wouldn’t worry. I never said I forgave you.”

“Then I’ll get you another teapot. Bigger this time, okay?”
If one didn’t work, maybe two would.
“Hmph!”
He let out another cold grunt and turned his back to them.
Ste, not giving up, held up three fingers. “How about three? But that’s my limit.”
She’d never bought that many gifts for anyone in one go–except Abraham.
Finished
Whether it was in the past or now, any time she saw something that suited him, she wanted to buy it.
