His Coy Lover

When they walked into Charles’s residence and saw potted flowers filling the courtyard, they thought they had come to the wrong place. They instinctively turned to leave. After taking two steps, the old lady stopped, turned her head to look again, and said to her granddaughter, “Nina, I remember this is your elder brother’s residence. Are we not in the wrong place?”

Nina glanced around uncertainly and said, “Grandma, I also remember that this is big brother’s residence. We shouldn’t be in the wrong place.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Why are there so many flowers? I thought it was our family’s garden.”

Nina reminded, “Grandma, there was quite a commotion here the other day. It seemed like Zack went out and bought a lot of potted flowers according to big brother’s orders.”

The old lady nodded, “Yes, yes, I forgot. That’s right, with so many flowers, it doesn’t seem like your big brother’s taste.”

Charles was not one to cherish flowers.

The grandmother and granddaughter exchanged glances.

If it wasn’t Charles’s taste, then it must be Zelda’s taste.

Charles actually changed the courtyard environment for Zelda!

“Grandma, do we still want to go in and visit?”

Nina watched her grandmother’s changing expression.

The old lady felt a lump in her throat, unable to vent it out. After all, her grandson was disabled and couldn’t act like a man anymore.

Now that Zelda was taking care of him and making him happy, it was a good thing.

Who cared how her grandson treated Zelda?

But… What if Charles fully recovered?

With a long sigh, the old lady said, “Since we’re here, let’s go in.”

Just as the grandmother and granddaughter were about to enter, the two brothers, Charles and Lucas, came out from inside, with Lucas pushing his brother.

Zelda had already taken the chicken soup to her foster mother and had asked Charles for a day off to go back to her parents’ home. She planned to accompany her parents for the day and then depart from the Roscente at night to attend Yemmy’s birthday party at the Granger family along with Elle.

She even took the evening gown she was going to wear tonight.

“Grandma, Nina.”

Lucas greeted the old lady first.

The old lady’s face showed a loving expression as she nodded in response to Lucas’s greeting, feeling particularly pleased to see the harmonious scene of the brothers.

“Charles, are you going out?”

The old lady asked her eldest grandson.

“I just finished breakfast and wanted to go out for a walk. Grandma, is there something?”

Charles’s attitude was also serious when facing his family, making people feel that he was difficult to get along with.

“What are you talking about, child? Can’t grandma come and see you without a reason?”

Charles pursed his lips without saying a word.

Since his temper became worse, not only did the servants not like to work here, but also his family members rarely stepped into his residence. Although it was mainly because of him, Charles still felt uncomfortable, and the more uncomfortable he felt, the more he would vent his anger at everyone.

“What about Zelda?”

The old lady asked casually.

“She took a day off.”

Charles replied in a deep voice, “Her foster mother had a car accident, so she took a day off this weekend to take care of her foster mother at the hospital.”

The old lady nodded, “Gratitude is greater than kinship. Her foster mother raised her for twenty-five years and treated her with all her heart. If her foster mother had an accident, she should go take care of her.”

Nina added, “She’s quite righteous. She’s better than Elle.”

Elle didn’t want to go back to her biological mother’s side and rarely interacted with her, obviously despising her biological mother and coveting the good conditions in her foster parents’ home.

“Charles, why did you put so many flowers here…”

The old lady paid particular attention to Charles’s expression as she said this.

“It looks nice.”

Charles said in a low voice, “Don’t you think I’ve added some vitality here? It’s no longer so dull.”

The old lady smiled, “Yes, yes, you have added some vitality. It’s nice to see so many flowers in the courtyard. It will improve everyone’s mood when they go out.”

Seeing that Charles’s expression was still cold, she knew he didn’t want to say more, so she said considerately, “Lucas, you push your brother out for a walk. I’ll go back and rest. I’m getting old, and I get tired after walking for a while.”

The three siblings knew that the old lady was telling a lie, but none of them exposed it.

They watched as the grandmother left, and then the brothers continued to walk outside.

After walking around outside for a while, they arrived at the time for Charles’s rehabilitation. During his rehabilitation, apart from the staff at the rehabilitation center, no one else was allowed to be present. He didn’t want anyone to see him fall down after walking a few steps.

After a whole afternoon of rehabilitation, Charles was exhausted and his complexion became unusually ugly.
