Chapter 280 Look, she called you
Briana hasn't seen such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl for a long time.
In the past, she had high standards when choosing a daughter-in-law for her grandson. She wanted the family background, character, appearance, and education to match her grandson in every aspect.
But in recent years, she discovered that her grandson was not interested in women, and there were rumors that he had a preference for men. After that, she lowered her standards.
As long as one has good character and a good heart, it is enough.
The more Briana looked at Audrey, the more satisfied she felt.
| wished to settle the two of them immediately.
Shawn saw the old lady looking at Audrey as if she were her daughter- in-law. He slightly furrowed his long ink-black eyebrows and said, “Madam, please don’t scare the girl.”
Briana waved her hand at Shawn and said, “Come here, Grandma wants to tell you something in secret.”
Shawn took off his suit jacket and underneath he was wearing a business vest. His well-built and stern figure was perfectly outlined, and there was a brooch on the vest, with an elegant and luxurious design that shimmered with brilliance.
He sat down by the bedside and slightly bent over.
Every move and action was a display of the noble gentleman’s

Danna looked at her grandson's handsome face, as beautiful as jade, and then glanced at Audrey’s delicate and charming free The more she looked, the more she felt they looked like a married comple
“Thanks to Audra today, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to see your grandmother”
Shawn looked into the old lady’s eyes, which were gleaming with a calculating light, and he had a faint guess in his mind.
The phoenix eyes under the golden nimmed glasses narrowed slightly. and the cold thin lips curved into a faint smile. “It seems like you have forgotten, tomorrow you arranged a blind date for me”
Briana waved her hand and said. “Every time you go on a blind date, you just go through the motions with me. Don’t think | don’t know that even if you po tomorrow, you won't really engage with the girl”
Briana couldn’t see a frace of a woman around Shawn, and she became extremely worried. “This girl looks so pure and kind- hearted, | feel like she is more than enough for you ”
Shawn h ooked his lips, with a half-smile, “Looks underage.”
“How did she become underape? Lasked, she’s already nineteen. You talk to her first, and in another year, we can get married.” Shawn raised an eyebrow and said, “Were you really looking forward to me getting married?”
“Of course, you are my only precious grandson. The Goodwin family’s. lineage relies on you to carry it forward. If you turn out to be like the rumors say, then | might as well be dead!”
It seems that the rumor of homosexuality has scared Briana. In the past,

her standards for choosing a granddaughter-in-law were so high that even a socialite from the Seffolk aristocracy might not meet her expectations!
“Wait, you take her back later, and tonight, book a nicer restaurant and ask her to have dinner together.” Briana looked at Shawn with a disgusted expression. “I’ve already got her contact, if you can’t get it, I'll ask her on your behalf.”
“Madam, you take good care of yourself first, don’t-”
Shawn hadn't finished speaking when Briana exclaimed in an emotional tone, “Are you trying to infuriate me? Sterling is your sister's fiancé, why are you trying to steal him away?”
Audrey sat on the sofa, looking down at her phone, when suddenly she heard the old lady’s words and paused for a moment. Sterling?
Sister's fiancé?
Audrey's hand holding the phone unconsciously tightened a bit.
Is it Sterling that she knew?
After graduating, he returned to Cloud City to meet her, but she never delved into his background.
She could vaguely guess that his identity was not simple, he must bet from the prestigious Seffolk family.
But never thought about other aspects.
Audrey looked at the man sitting by the bedside with a handsome, cold, and noble appearance, without finding a single flaw. and

This Mr. Goodwin is so handsome, his sister must also be extremely beautiful, right?
Audrey couldn’t help but be mesmerized as she gazed at Shawn’s handsome and aloof profile.
Briana observed Audrey’s reaction and secretly signaled to Shawn with
a wink, “You see, it seems like Audrey has a crush on you.”
Shawn,”
“Seize this opportunity and get the daughter-in-law | have chosen. Hurry up, don’t neglect her.”
Briana elenched her fist and gave Shawn a thumbs-up for encouragement.
Shawn's eye twitched.
After saying goodbye to Briana, Audrey left the hospital absentmindedly.
A black Bentley drove up to the entrance of the hospital.
The car window rolled down, and Shawn's handsome and refined face appeared in front of Audrey. “Ms. Watson, get in the car, I'll take you home.”
Audrey's mind was filled with thoughts of Sterling having a fiancée. She felt weak and weary all over, and just wanted to be alone.
She shook her head and said. “Thank you, Mr. Goodwin, but | will take a car back by myself later.”
“Ms. Watson. | promised the old lady. Right now, she’s probably

leaning against the window, watching. If | didn’t take you back. | would have been nagged by her all night until my ears were calloused.
Thinking of Briana’s severity towards Shawn, Audrey thought of her own grandmother. Her lips curved into a faint arc, “Then, Mr. Goodwin will be troubled.”
She opened the car door and got in.
As Audrey got on the car and fastened her seatbelt, a flash of an image crossed Shawn’s mind.
He took out his phone and flipped to the chat history with Sterling.
He sent Sterling a screenshot when he was in Cloud City.
The girl in the photo had eyes that looked very similar to the girl in the passenger seat.
Were they... the same person?
Shawn glanced at Audrey several times.
Audrey noticed Shawn’s gaze and she suspiciously touched her cheek. “Mr. Goodwin, is there something on my face?”
While Shawn was steering the wheel, he asked, “Were you the girl who went viral on the live stream a while ago?”
Audrey was taken aback and then sheepishly said, “I made Mr. Goodwin laugh.”
It was indeed her!Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Shawn thought of the cold and ruthless prince, his thin lips curved with a barely noticeable smile. “Thank you very much for saving the

old lady’s life. | can make you a promise, as long as it doesn’t go against my principles and bottom line, you can always come to me.
Audrey did not know the identity of Mr. Goodwin, but the noble temperament emanating from him surely indicated that he was not an ordinary person.
“Alright, then thank Mr. Goodwin for me.”
The car smoothly drove out of the hospital, in the tranquil space, so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.
Until Shawn’s phone vibrated.
Glancing at the caller ID, Shawn put on his Bluetooth earphones.
Sterling had just come out of the Howard family mansion.
Ricky Howard saw Briana’s Timeline.
It was said that Shawn found an unparalleled girl who was a perfect. match for her grandson. Maybe next year she could even hold her great-grandchild.
Ricky was upset and urged Sterling to quickly let him hold his great- grandchild as well.
“What kind of girl did your grandmother find for you? She already likes her to the extent of wanting to hold her great-grandchild?” Upon hearing Sterling’s words, Shawn glanced at the quiet and gentle girl beside him.
