Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 778 Acting in Concert 2

At the door, Silas peered through the slightly ajar door and saw Ella lying on the bed, with Micah leaning in close to her. She, hooking her arms around his neck, offered a passionate kiss.

A cough came from behind her.

Silas hurriedly fled, not forgetting to glare at Andrew as he did.

Andrew walked over and closed the door.

Just as Micah's lips were about to touch Ella's, he instinctively pushed her away.

He could pretend to be in a relationship with Ella, but the furthest he could go was to avoid physical intimacy. If it came down to it, his body would instinctively resist!

Ella hurriedly gestured in sign language, explaining, "I didn't mean to. Someone was peeking outside just now, so I..."

"I know," Micah interrupted her, "It was Silas."

Ella, like a startled deer, bit her lip and nodded.

"Thank you." Micah got up and left. "Rest early!"

Opening the door, Andrew was outside, reporting in a low voice, "Silas has returned to his room."

Micah walked out of the room, casually closing the door behind him. Instead of going straight to the bedroom, he headed to the study.

Andrew poured a glass of red wine and asked with concern, "Are you putting on a show with Ms. Lingston to reassure Grandpa Clemens to leave?"

"You've figured it out, I see." Micah raised an eyebrow.

"I've been following you for so many years. I can understand your thoughts." Andrew smiled. "I think Grandpa Clemens knows your trick, too. If it's just a few words and some acting, he probably won't believe it either." Upon hearing this, Micah frowned. Indeed, he had only said he was willing to try dating Ella and act a bit, but it couldn't deceive the cunning Grandpa Clemens.

"If you really want to reassure Grandpa Clemens to return to the country, you probably need to do more." Andrew cautiously reminded.

"What more?" Micah blurted out, then scolded, "You're crossing the line!"

"Sorry!" Andrew quickly lowered his head.

Micah gave him a cold stare and then began to rack his brains. It seemed like he might really have to push things further to achieve his goal, even if he didn't want to compromise his principles. Putting on an act was still an option. After all, behind closed doors, no one would know what they were doing.

"It seems like a good idea."

Micah squinted and pondered the idea.

"However, be careful not to let Miss and Young Master see." Andrew started on his plan again. "Especially Mr. Noah, he's quite sensitive. If he sees you and Ms. Lingston getting close, it might have an impact on him. He ran out today, probably because he was upset."

"Right." Micah frowned and nodded. "That's particularly important."

"Tomorrow, I'll be inspecting Noble Summit for two days. So, ask Ella next morning if she wants to go with me," Micah said.

Micah wanted to avoid being seen by the kids while he was putting on an act for the sake of his "upgraded" relationship with Ella.

"I think she'll definitely agree," Andrew said, "But Grandpa Clemens won't know that."

"He's not foolish, and he'll definitely replace a way to keep an eye on us." Micah knew Grandpa Clemens very well. "He might even make a surprise inspection."

"I see."

The next morning, Andrew deliberately asked Ella in front of Grandpa Clemens if she wanted to stay at Noble Summit with Micah for two days, mentioning that there were hot springs there, which might be beneficial for her recovery. Upon hearing this, Grandpa Clemens raised his eyebrows and advised, "Go, Ella. It's not good for you to stay all day long at home. You should go out and get some fresh air."

"Okay." Ella, who was initially reserved, smiled and gestured in sign language, "Thank you, Andrew!"

"Don't mention it. I'll go inform Micah now, and then have Dahlia prepare for you."

Andrew prepared to leave, but Grandpa Clemens added, "It's not safe for Ella to go alone. You should replace two bodyguards to follow them for protection."

Everything was just as Micah had anticipated.

"Yes sir." Andrew nodded.
