Chapter 1387
[ 587 words ]
“Your father is foolish, and your mother only cares about her maiden family. Corbin, you need to keep a clear head,” his uncle reminded him.
Corbin felt ashamed of his parents, but they were his family who loved him; he couldn’t blame them.
“Uncle, I’ll keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t make mistakes.”
As for the will, everything belonged to his grandfather, and he could give it to whomever he pleased.
The assets of Pearce’s branch inherently included a share for his sister, and he wouldn’t be as muddled as his parents.
Just as the Cole family finished their conversation in the living room, Claire and Dane walked out.
Cassandra came out with them.
Every time Kendrick received treatment, Cassandra would accompany him whenever she was free.
Granddaughters were far more thoughtful and attentive than grandsons.
“Thank you for your hard work, Claire.”
His uncle could see the exhaustion on Claire’s face.
He heard that every acupuncture session drained a lot of her energy.
With the young woman being so capable, it was no wonder Dane was so protective of her.
Claire shook her head. “It’s nothing.”
“Kendrick has already fallen asleep, so you don’t need to wake him up tonight.”
The treatment process was actually very soothing, so it was no surprise that it made people sleepy.
A good sleep would help him relax a lot.
His uncle was extremely grateful to Claire, for because of her, his father hadn’t been bedridden all winter this year.
During the holidays, visiting relatives and friends had all noticed the old man’s transformation.
Only Pearce and his wife were clueless and full of themselves.
“I really don’t know how to thank you enough. Please don’t take what my brother and sister-in-law said earlier to heart.”
“I apologize to you on their behalf.”
His uncle knew how much his family would benefit from being on good terms with a miracle doctor.
He would absolutely never choose to offend Claire, but he had to clean up the mess left by Pearce and his wife.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was his brother, and instead his own son, he would have dealt with him severely.
“There’s no need.” Claire shook her head. “I don’t mind.”
“My age really doesn’t make me look convincing.”
Claire was very open-minded about it.
His uncle admired the young woman even more.
What a pity she was already spoken for by the Green family’s boy!
He glanced at his wife, and she immediately had a servant bring out the gifts she had prepared.
“You are not only our old man’s doctor but also Dane’s fiancée. This is a holiday gift I’ve prepared for you.”
“This…” Claire instinctively wanted to refuse.
“Take it, Claire,” Dane spoke up for her. “Thank you.”
His aunt smiled, feeling a bit envious at how well-matched the two looked. “You’ve certainly found yourself a good partner, kid.”
“I just wonder when Caleb will bring us back a surprise.”
Dane looked at Caleb.
Cassandra and Corbin also looked at him.
Their cousin was the eldest grandson of the Cole family, and he still wasn’t settled.
So the younger ones like them didn’t need to rush.
Seeing everyone pointing fingers at him, Caleb felt a headache coming on.
“Hey, hey, hey, I’m twenty-four, not thirty-four. Aren’t you all rushing things a bit too much?”
“You can’t just get jealous because
someone else’s son has a partner. and force your own son to start strutting around, right?”
“I’ve seen older parents having more kids. Why don’t you and Mom give it a try?”
The eldest couple never expected
their son to retort like that.
could they do? They realnet
smack him!
“Get out of here! Handle your own marriage, we’re washing our hands of it!”
