Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 696

When Richard led Eliza to The Hughes Family in a hurry, he realized that his grandmother had tricked him into coming back.

His grandpa was not sick at all.

The old lady only wanted to see her young grandson too much, so she intentionally told him a lie.

Of course, this lie was told with his grandpa's permission.

"The one behind you… The girlfriend you recently had? What's her name?" the old lady asked with a smile as she looked at Eliza, who was hiding behind Richard.

Richard was little depressed.

Grandma was already very aged, how could she still lie again and again?

He had been in a hurry along the way, and his heart was beating fast.

Eliza never thought that Richard's grandmother would actually be so easy-going, as if it was really easy to get along with.

Thus, she quickly came out from behind Richard and openly introduced herself. "Grandma, Old lady Hughes, my name is Elizabeth Jones!"

"Eliza? Your surname is Jones!" The old lady's expression stiffened.

It was clear that she had some sort of unexplainable loathing for people with the surname Jones. Maybe it was because of that woman called Anna Jones.

Only then did Eliza feel that the old lady was so close to her.

She only saw that her happiness had moved and she was startled, causing her to immediately let out a worried laugh. "Yes, my surname is Jones!" Strange…, is there something wrong with my surname 'Jones'?

Seeing that she had subconsciously hid behind Richard, the old lady remembered her suspicious personality.

She continued to ask with a smile, "Miss Jones, have you and Josh been together for a long time?"

Eliza looked up with her beautiful eyes and met with Richard's gaze. She was slightly stunned.

The man's gaze was complicated and unfathomable. For a moment, she could not understand what he wanted to express.

Just as she was about to answer, Richard had already opened his mouth. "Grandma, didn't you always hope for me to find a girlfriend? Eliza is my girlfriend, I've been dating her for many times now, she has a good temper, you can definitely get well along with her."

Eliza could only laugh foolishly, she felt that Richard did not despise her as much as he usually did, and even praised her good character, Eliza could not help but look at him a few more times.

The old lady had read countless people, looking at Eliza's clean and clear eyes, she knew that this girl was not some girl with a lot of schemes.

"Grandmother understands you. Your job is different, so it's normal for you to conceal your feelings. However, I don't care if you're hiding it from others. You shouldn't be hiding it from Grandmother!" The old lady was still dissatisfied. She felt that her grandson had treated her as an outsider.

Richard quickly laughed and explained: "Grandma, when youngsters are in love, there should be a period of time for them to understand each other. Before, I had always known each other, but now I feel that it's very appropriate for it to be public."

"If it wasn't for your brother discovering that you are different recently, who knows how long you would have hidden it from us." The old lady harrumphed.

Richard's eyes stiffened slightly.

Eliza, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him.

Why did his elder brother notice his recent worries?

Could it be that Edward knew something?

"Brother truly cares about me!" Richard felt a little ashamed.

"Alright, since you guys are back, let's have a meal together tonight. It's a rare occasion to have a family together, Miss Eliza, I'm glad that you came to our house to be a guest. Josh is my youngest grandson, and when you're together in the future, you need to take care of him for me." The old lady

had a good impression of Eliza, because she looked quiet and obedient.

Eliza accepted Richard's money, so it was naturally a strenuous performance.

"Grandma, don't worry. I will take care of him." Eliza looked at Richard gently and answered with a sweet smile.

Richard's face was a little tense, after that, he found an excuse to go upstairs and chat with his grandfather.

The old lady kindly made Eliza sit down and got a servant to bring her tea and fruits.

Eliza absent-mindedly ate but she was still a little worried for Richard in her heart.

From the moment he stepped through the door, his emotions had been clouded. He must be feeling really sad too.

The person he liked was his future sister. He would meet her again in the future. This kind of torture wasn't something anyone could bear.

Nightfall!

After Edward received his grandmother's call, he went home early with her.

The two kids came back and saw a beautiful sister sitting in the living room. They were both very curious.

Eliza also looked at the two children in shock.

Although they are so tiny, they were really beautiful.

She had seen Edward's pictures before and she had also seen Felicity before.

"Only a man like Edward Hughes with his exquisite and perfect facial features would be able to give birth to such a beautiful child."

Eliza was quite compatible with the two little fellows, and they instantly started to play together. Especially Arya liked her very much because she would cooperate with her to play the boring game of playing house.

When Edward walked in, he realized that Felicity had not returned yet.

"Brother..." Richard walked down from the stairs and called out with a smile. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Edward looked at him and was in a good mood, "Have you been playing abroad these past few days? Did you have fun?"

"Not bad!" Richard replied with a light smile.

Actually, Edward still had a question, and that was.. why did his brother bring his new girlfriend to the city that he and Felicity went to? Was it really a coincidence?

"Did you bring your girlfriend back?" Edward asked curiously.

"She's here too, playing upstairs with Arya!" Richard pointed upstairs.

"Introduce her to me!" Hearing that he really brought back his girlfriend, Edward also wanted to personally meet this girl and see what allure she had to attract his brother's attention.

Richard nodded, turned and walked up the stairs.

He didn't know why, but even though he was very happy to see his brother today, his heart was filled with an indescribable complex feeling.

Richard was clear that he did not have the slightest bit of hostility towards his brother. In fact, he even hoped that his brother and Felicity would be together forever and get married happily as soon as possible.

However, his attitude had changed.

It was no longer simple, but rather, incredibly complex.

Arya's happy voice came out from the second floor's Toy Room, she was having fun.

Richard crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaned on the door and shouted: "Eliza, my brother is back, let me introduce you to him!"

Eliza quickly stood up and said to Arya: "Arya, I'll help your baby get dressed in a while!"

When Eliza walked to the door, she saw the calm and composed man behind Richard.

She trembled slightly and felt the powerful aura of someone who had been in throne for a long time, making her feel fear.
