Chapter 14 Refuse
Chapter 14 Refuse
Emmeline immediately raised her head. She walked over when noticing that he was about to get mad.
"No, I just haven't done that before. So I don't know how to get you changed. I have never disdained you as a cripple…Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that…Though you can't walk yourself, I am sure that you will still recover one day."
Emmeline stared at his face nervously, afraid that he might get mad again. She walked over and took the bathrobe off from his top gently. Then she hurried to put on the shirt for him.
Her heart beat so fast that she didn't dare to look at his eyes.
Stefan just saw her getting him changed in fluster. He just remained unmoved and let her do her job. He just stared at her quietly.
She was aware that she had to strip him off the bathrobe totally before she put the pants on his legs. But he was naked down there!
At the thought of that, she seemed to explode, 'God! No! Please help me!'
She couldn't believe that he actually wanted her to put on the pants for him.
Stefan raised his head to look at her, "I just ask you to get me changed. Why are you hesitating?"
His deep voice sounded again.
"Sorry, Master Stefan, please put it on yourself. I will go to get some breakfast for you!" Then she rushed out of the bedroom as if she were encountering a monster.
Stefan frowned. Seeing that she left, he went to close the door. Then he stood up himself and took off the bathrobe. He put on the pants and stood on the balcony with a mocking smile.
When Emmeline served the breakfast, Stefan had gone out of the elevator with his wheelchair. He sat beside the table. His clothes were neat, making him look elegant.
Seeing that he dressed in formal suit, she asked, "Are you going out?"
Stefan nodded, "Yes, both of us."
"Both of us?" Emmeline was stunned.
She was wondering where he would take her to. What if he took her to the Byrne Mansion? She would probably be exposed.
"Yes. If I am not mistaken, you have been married for a week here. So it's time for us to visit my grandpa together. Just get prepared after breakfast."
After saying that, he started to have breakfast in an elegant manner. Emmeline just stared at him, stunned. His face still remained freezing cold as usual, looking horrible.
He was actually going to take her to see his grandpa? Though she had never met his grandpa before, she had once heard that his grandpa, the founding father of the Byrne Group, was exceedingly powerful.
He was the authority of the Byrne Family. Though it was Frank who took charge of the Byrne Group, he was actually a manager only. As for the heritor of the president, his grandpa, Edison Byrne once said that he would never announce the true heritor until the day he died. So Frank had been acting cautiously during these years. Even though he lost Anayah, he had to accept the fact because of his grandpa.
"So, Master Stefan, I'd better stay here to read. I wanted to learn more so as to give you better massage. That should help a lot for your rehabilitation." Of course, she didn't want to see that horrible
grandpa.
Stefan stared at her, "What? You are scared?"
"No, I am not. Though I should go to visit him with you, he should be quite busy, right? I think I might bother him if I go with you." Emmeline told herself that she could never go with him. What if Edison knew about her sister? If he noticed that she was actually not Anayah, perhaps he would kill her father out of anger.
Her heart almost skipped a beat at the thought of that. It would be the worst choice to meet Edison today. So she needed to try every mean to retard it.
Seeing that she kept refusing, Stefan looked sullen. From his perspective, perhaps it was because she was afraid to meet Frank again. If that happened, it would be quite embarrassing.
"Okay, since you don't want to, just stay here." After saying that, he rolled the wheelchair out of the parlor.
Paul had already prepared a car for him on the beach. Stefan supported himself up with both hands and then Paul got him on the back seats.
Emmeline saw the car fade away from her sight. Then she returned to the dining room to continue with breakfast.
Emmeline stayed in the villa to read all day long. She didn't even go out of her bedroom until it was time for meal.
The Imperial Residences located at the southwest part of X City was known as the most luxurious mansion district. All the residents here were both rich and prestigious.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly reached an area of a huge mansion equipped with four floors. Down the mansion there was a capacious lawn, where there parked a dozen of limousines.
The golden gate was shining under the sunlight, while both sides of which stood servants.
As soon as the Rolls-Royce stopped, a servant came forward with a wheelchair with respect, "Master Stefan, Master Edison has been expecting you."
Stefan supported himself up again with hands and then he got on the wheelchair with the help of Paul. Then he went into the gate.
Edison was sitting on the top of the parlor, while Stefan's parents, Callum and Ciara were sitting beside him. Then he saw Frank lying on the sofa behind idly with his legs crossed. He looked at Stefan with disdain. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"Come on, Stefan, come over here. Why didn't you bring your wife to visit us?" Edison beckoned him over with a smile.
Paul then pushed Stefan towards Edison. Stefan looked at him, "Grandpa, Anayah is now studying some massage skills to heal my legs on the island. So she didn't come with me."
Then he turned around, "Dad, mom and Frank, nice to see you again."
Callum nodded, "You should take her here to see grandpa. That's the way you should do to show respect."
Ciara squinted at Stefan, "Did you lock her down in the island?"
Ciara didn't like Stefan since he was a kid. So she looked at him with mockery.
Frank clenched his fists and stared at Stefan. He looked so hostile that he had an urge to kill Stefan.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Anayah is now my wife. I love her so much. How could I lock her down? She was just tired so she didn't want to come with me. Well, since then, I told her to stay in the villa."
Though Stefan was talking to his mom, he actually looked at Frank with a smile.
"Frank, thank you. Thanks for offering me such a nice wife. She has been learning how to massage during these days. And she said that she wanted me to stand up again." Stefan smiled, looking quite concerned about her.
"Okay, Stefan, please take care of her. Don't scare her out of the island half a year later!"
Seeing his smile, Frank really wanted to tear his face apart. He suddenly stood up and walked over to his side.
"Alright, since Anayah isn't here. Let's have lunch first." Before Frank could reach his side, another cold and deep voice sounded and stopped him.
Frank couldn't help clenching his fists again, looking vicious.
During lunch, Edison made Paul serve Stefan food continuously. And he kept talking to Stefan as if Frank and both his parents never existed.
After lunch, Edison looked at Stefan, "Stefan, I am so sorry for not holding a decent wedding for you. And I plan to organize a reunion banquet during festival with the Campbell family. Then it will be the time for Anayah to show up and be recognized as your wife. I am too old. And both of you and Frank will shoulder the future of the Byrne Group."
