A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession
Chapter 241

Chapter 241

Entering the living room, Cynthia saw David coming downstairs with the help of a servant. Even with help, he still moved slowly. When he saw Cynthia, his face was full of loving similes. "Cynthia, you're back?" "Grandpa David, what's wrong with you!" Cynthia was worried. She hadn't seen David for a while, and he had become like this. She quickly ran up the stairs and took David's hand from the servant. "I'm old and useless. I'm afraid I won't be able to go boxing with you anymore." David said nonchalantly.

"You will be fine. Take care of yourself. I'm waiting to train with you. Cynthia helped David sit on the couch and was about to crouch down to check

on him

David reached out to stop Cynthia. "Let's do it later. We have a guest here." Then he beckoned Hallet over. "You must be Cynthia's senior? Come have a seat and chat with us."

"Nice to meet you. Mr. Sullivan. My name is Hallet Gordon." Hallet politely put the gift on the table and sat on the couch.

"You're Cynthia's senior. It's rude of us to receive you like this when we meet for the first time. When I recover, I'll invite you somewhere and welcome you properly" David spoke in a serious and formal manner.

Hallet al.

also stopped being carefree and became serious. "Mr. Sullivan, don't worry about it."

David and Hallet sat on the couch and chatted, while Cynthia went to help Jasmine, who was preparing fruit in the kitchen "Grandma Jasmine, can I help you" Cynthia asked.

it taste good?

Seeing Cynthia come in, Jasmine put some of the cut fruit into her mouth and smiled dotingly. "Does it taste g "It's yummy" Cynthia smiled and nodded. She looked at the fruit jasmine arranged on the plate, which was pleasing to the eye like a painting- "Grandma Jasmine, you arranged the fruit so beautifully. I feel bad destroying it."

Hearing this, Jasmine smiled happily. "Don't feel bad. When I was young, my next time you come."

Cynthia praised sincerely, "Grandma Jasmine, you're awesome!" Jasmine's smile widened in joy.

Cynthia took the fruit and a knife and imitated Jasmine. While cutting the fruit, she asked, "Grandma Jasmine, what happened to Grandpa David's leg!"

Jasmine paused and became angry at the thought of that incident. She put the things down and complained, "He deserved it. The weather was bad that day. I told him again and again not to go fishing, but he didn't listen. Later, he fell on the way back in the rain. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to go out and lecture David again.

Cynthia hurriedly comforted Jasmine, saying, "Grandma Jasmine, calm down. I go and check on Grandpa David later. Maybe it's not serious"

"The doctor said this fall will most likely leave him with problems due to his age Jasmine was worried about David, but she was also angry that he didn't care about his health.

Although David was in a high position, fishing had been his only hobby since he was young. It would seem too mean of her to deprive him of his only hobby. Therefore, she felt both angry and distressed when he got hurt from the fall.

Cynthia asked.

"About five days ago, Jasmine answered.

"Why didn't you tell us? We could have come back earlier, Cynthia said.

Jasmine sighed and said, "You seldom go home. We don't want to worry you."

Cynthia put down the fruit in her hand and spoke seriously, "Grandma Jasmine, I can go home any time. Your health is more important. Liam and I are your support now. You must tell us immediately if anything happens again."

Jasmine was stunned. She reached out to pinch Cynthia's check. "Okay. Look at your tense face, I know you're worried about us

Cynthia's serious expression instantly changed. "Let's bring the fruit out

When Jasmine and Cynthia each carried a plate of fruit out of the kitchen, they saw Liam entering the house.

Cynthia put the fruit plate on the table and ran over to hold Liam's arm. "You're back. Is it busy at the company?"

Liam took off his coat. Cynthia wanted to take it over, but he put it on the couch himself. He sat down with his arm around Cynthia's shoulders and Chapter 241

glanced at Hallet next to him without saying anything.

Hallet had gotten used to Liam's cold personality these days. Apart from Cynthia, Evan, and Delilah, he had never seen Liam being warm toward

anyone.

Liam's

David attached great importance to Hallet, who was Cynthia's family, and wanted to reassure him as much as possible. So when he saw attitude, his face darkened immediately, and he hit Liam's leg with his crutch, "You brat, this is Cynthia's senior. Shouldn't you say hello?"

David hit Liam so hard that Liam couldn't help but hiss and grimace. Cynthia didn't expect David to do this. She quickly reached out to check Liam's injury. "Are you okay?"

"Cynthia, leave him alone. He's so rude. I wouldn't say anything if it were somebody else. But this is your senior. David's voice was calm and powerful.

"Grandpa David, actually, Hallet and Liam are quite familiar with each other. There is no need to stick to these formalities- Cynthia wanted to explain, but was interrupted by David. "Don't defend him.”

Cynthia could only give Hallet a look. Right now, Hallet was the guest of honor for David, and his words carried weight.

Haller didn't expect David to be so bad-tempered, nor did he expect the formidable Liam to suffer in silence after being beaten.

When Hallet was about to say something, David snapped again, "Greet the guest!"

Seeing David getting agitated, Liam could only unter reluctantly, "Hi, Hallet"

"Hello" Hallet raised his eyebrows and responded.

During dinner, David asked Hallet to sit next to him and kept talking about Liam's merits while eating. "Hallet, although Liam is cold, he is really nice to Cynthia. We all like Cynthia very much. She won't suffer in our family."

Hallet sat straight with a calm expression that was totally inconsistent with his personality. He nodded and replied, "Well, I can tell Liam truly Cynthia. I'm relieved."

David still held onto Hallet's wrist, as if he wanted to expose all of Liam's secrets in front of Hallet. Liam felt awkward as he listened. He felt like he was a commodity.

At the dining table, except for David and Jasmine, the other three people were all lost in their own thoughts.
