Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

When Blanca returned home in the evening, she looked at the delicate crystal chandelier and was lost in thought. She still felt like it was a dream.

Matthew’s voice was clear and firm, which could dispel all her doubts.

He said, “You have some time to think about it. Let me know your answer before we go to bed tonight.”

“Alas…”

Blanca covered her face with her hands and blushed with shyness. Now Matthew was working in the study. She went back to her room early after dinner, fearing that she would see Matthew’s expecting eyes!

She was so shy!

She only had had one boyfriend before. It was Todd Small, but they didn’t do anything. Even they had never had a kiss.

But it should be the dream of many women to be in love with Matthew, right?

“Knock, knock, knock!”

All of a sudden, someone was knocking on the door. Blanca was alert and worried that Matthew would come in. What if he asked her to give him an answer?

“Madam, would you like some sweet juice?”

It was the voice of Mrs. Brown outside. Blanca quickly got up and said, “Come in!”

Mrs. Brown came in with a glass of sweet juice in his hand. She put it on the table with a kind smile. Blanca felt a little embarrassed when she looked at her like this. Mrs. Brown smiled and said, “Mr. Grant specially asked me to make it for you. He said that it’s hot today, and this can make you feel better.”

“It’s not hot today…”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“What? What did you say, madam?”

“No, nothing…” Blanca scratched her head awkwardly, picked up the glass, and drank it up. Then she looked at Mrs. Brown and pretended to ask inadvertently, “Mrs. Brown, did Matthew have a girlfriend before?”

She thought of the scene when Matthew kissed her. His eyes looked so soulful, which was completely different from his cold look as usual. He also looked gentle and even… a little sad.

His sad look made her feel sympathetic.

Such a perfect man must have had many girlfriends before!

“Well, he didn’t.” Mrs. Brown thought for a while and answered. She felt happy about Blanca’s question. It indicated that Mrs. Grant now finally began to care about Mr. Grant. The relationship between the two was getting better and better, and she was very gratified.

“Madam, you perhaps don’t know that. He has been distant since he was a child. He only cares about the family and group. I seldom saw him smile so frequently before. I came to this family when he was very young, so I know he’s now really happy.” Mrs. Brown paused and then continued, “He is really happy to be with you, so please be nice to him.”

“Mrs. Brown…”

Hearing Mrs. Brown’s choked voice, Blanca was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

Mrs. Brown wiped her tears away and forced a smile. Then she said, “Oh, sorry. Of course, you and he will be together all your lives. I just feel happy for him, because he has suffered so many years and finally find someone who loves him… He lost his mother when he was just a child. What a pity…”

Tears streamed down Mrs. Brown’s cheeks as she spoke. Blanca quickly took the tissue to wipe her tears. Then she got off the bed and hugged Mrs. Brown. She patted her back to comfort her. Mrs. Brown finally calmed down.

After Mrs. Brown left, Blanca sat on the bed with her arms around her knees. Behind her was the soft and warm quilt, but she was gradually cooled down.

Because she remembered what Matthew had said today.

Yes, she had never known what his life was, so she had no right to judge him. What Matthew had now was just what he deserved.
