Chapter 1187 - 1183
Louis Lawrence’s gaze darkened, but he didn’t speak to disturb her.After sitting with her for a while, he got up and left the room.
As he closed the door, Louis looked up and saw Matthew Lawrence sitting in a wheelchair, smiling at him.
Louis’s hand on the doorknob suddenly clenched, then relaxed, and he donned a casual smile as he walked over.
"Second Uncle is back?"
Matthew had been abroad and didn’t return immediately when he knew Bella Green was back at the Lawrence Family.
"My daughter is finally willing to come home, so of course, I had to come back."
Matthew shook his head, his voice filled with helpless affection.
Louis’s eyes turned cold, but his smile remained unchanged.
"Indeed, but she just rested, Second Uncle, you should head back first."
With that, he walked past Matthew, about to leave.
"I heard Bella returned with you from Hyattville City. So, were you in Hyattville too at that time?"
Louis stopped in his tracks, his face turned icy as he faced away from Matthew.
His usually charming and carefree eyes flashed with predatory intensity.
"My schedule is so full, I hardly have time. The little girl called me to pick her up."
"I see, I thought you just happened to be in Hyattville."
Louis’s face remained gloomy, yet his voice was light: "Second Uncle is joking."
Once finished, he didn’t speak further and walked away.
The man in the wheelchair slightly lowered his head, a faint smile on his lips, with a softened facial contour. The sunset’s glow outside the window illuminated his face, making the scene even more gentle and beautiful...
...
Elsewhere, Louis returned to his room, and the moment he closed the door, all his pretense shattered instantly.
In its place was a rarely seen, sharp side like a knife...
His naturally alluring fox-like eyes were deep as a black hole, like an abyss, seemingly capable of swallowing someone in an instant...
Louis stayed in this state for an unknown duration, until a short, rapid ringing sound pulled him back to reality.
He walked to the bedside and took out a small phone from under the pillow.
It wasn’t a smartphone, but an older model with buttons, only capable of making calls and sending messages.
Louis unlocked it and dialed a string of numbers.
As soon as the dial tone rang, the other side picked up.
"Boss, Matthew Lawrence is back in the country. Should we inform the others to pause?"
Louis stood upright, his expression stern: "Continue!"
The other side paused in disbelief: "Isn’t this too risky? We’ve held back for so many years, acting aggressively now doesn’t seem wise."
"It’s been so many years; do we still need to fear him that much?"
The other side: "..." Yes, we do.
"I’ll keep an eye on him during this period, just proceed as planned, but be careful."
After Louis said that, he hung up and deleted the call logs.
Then, he lay on the bed somewhat powerlessly, eyes full of complexity.
Reason told him his actions were right, but in the end, there was still some guilt...
...
At dinner, Bella Green came down with Louis Lawrence.
Although Bella was unwilling to go out during the day, she seemed relatively normal in front of others.
However, her spirit appeared lacking.
"Bella, come quickly, your aunt personally made chicken soup for you." As soon as Old Master Lawrence saw his granddaughter, he lit up with a smile and beckoned her.
Bella Green raised a faint smile and walked over.
There were two more people at the dinner table today.
Matthew Lawrence and Rose Lawrence.
