A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 289

Simon said seriously, "Great-Grandma, let me ask you something. Do you know what Aunt Elliana's current profession is?"

"Lawyer. What's wrong with that?"

"Of course something is wrong! Great-grandma, layers face a lot of cases. If we hold a big party Aunt Elliana, people will know that she is from the Cordova family."

Kylee had a look of disapproval.

"So what? She is a Cordova. She is so outstanding. People should know that the Cordova family has such an outstanding girl."

Simon quickly said, "Great-grandma, don't say that!"

"What? You mean Elliana is not outstanding?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. Of course, Aunt Elliana is outstanding. It's just because she is outstanding..." Simon persuaded earnestly, "Think about it. What do you think the outsiders will think of her if they find out that she is a Cordova?"

"What can they think? We have good genes?"

"Great-Grandma, you think too kindly of those people. If others know that Aunt Elliana is a Cordova, they will ignore Aunt Elliana's hard work and thought that all the glory Aunt Elliana has received was because of the Cordova family." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Nonsense. We have never helped her."

"Of course we know, but what about the people outside? They will only think she achieved everything with the help of the Cordova family. Otherwise, how could a girl be so powerful?" Simon sighed. "Also, what do you think Aunt Elliana will think if she hears this?"

Kylee fell silent when she heard Simon's words.

Of course, she did not want to hear others talk about Elliana like this.

She wanted to hold the birthday banquet out of good intentions. She wanted everyone to know that the Cordova family had such a good granddaughter. She didn't think about other things that might happen.

Seeing Kylee frown in silence, Simon knew that his persuasion had worked. He smiled and said to Kylee, "That's why! We shouldn't make a big birthday party for my aunt."

Kylee pondered for a moment.

"You are right!" She did not want anyone to hurt Elliana.

"Right, right? When the time comes, we'll just have a few people at home."

After hesitating for a while, Kylee finally relented.

"Alright, let's do it at home. Let's invite a few close friends to come over and celebrate for Elliana."

"Don't worry, Great-Grandma. It's on me."

Kylee finally relaxed her brows and continued upstairs.

When Kylee left, Simon immediately turned around and looked at Bryson with an expression of asking for a reward.

"Uncle, how did I do?"

It had to be said that when it came to coaxing Kylee, Simon did have a set. He was shameless enough.

"Not bad!" Bryson nodded in affirmation.

Simon smiled. "Uncle, can I ask for a reward?"

Bryson glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. "I will call your parents. During your summer vacation, you can not join the army!"

"That's not important. As long as I tell my parents that I'm at home with Great-Grandma, they won't let me go!" Simon waved his hand casually.

"Then what do you want?"

"Uncle, look at me. I'm eighteen years old. I'm already an adult, right?" Simon looked at Bryson with a wretched look.

Bryson raised his eyebrows and gestured with his chin, indicating for him to continue.

Simon chuckled.

"Well, uncle, seeing that I have worked so hard to deal with Great-Grandma, can you help me arrange a day for me to go on a date with Audrey alone?"

Bryson coldly refused without even looking at Simon, "No!"

"Why?" Simon let out a white howl.

"Do you think I will give you a chance?"

Simon was speechless.

Bryson raised his foot and went upstairs. "You have already stated your request. You don't have any chance now!"

Simon stood there in amazement.

Looking at Bryson's back as he went upstairs, Simon stomped his feet in anger.

'That's too mean! He refused!'

However, he kind of knew the answer before he even asked the question.

When Bryson left, Simon slapped his forehead heavily.

What a fool. He shouldn't have said it so straightforwardly. He should have done it subtly. He should have asked for other rewards!

However, Bryson had already dismissed his request. It was such a loss.

Simon could not be more aggrieved.

...

Audrey had never been to Wild Goose Island before. To ensure that the project wouldn't violate any laws and regulations, she had to take a look herself. Therefore, the next morning, Audrey went to Wild Goose Island.

The residents of Wild Goose Island have been moved away. The northern part of the island was a wetland, and the southern part had been emptied. The excavators were waiting there.

Audrey walked to the side of the Wild Goose Island and saw the tall soundproof wall between the wetland and the construction area.

This soundproof wall was to reduce the impact of noise on the wetland migratory birds during the construction.

As soon as Audrey arrived at the temporary project department on the island, someone with a helmet came out to welcome her.

"Angel, glad to see you."

Audrey discovered that the person welcoming her was Jake.

"Hey, Mr. Jake, I didn't expect to see you here!"

Jake laughed and said, "It's all thanks to Mr. Bryson. Not only did he compensate me for the demolition of my house, but he also arranged for me to work on this island. Moreover, Mr. Bryson said that my work hours will be matched with my daughter's school schedule."

Audrey nodded.

Teaching one to fish was better than giving them fish.

Wild Goose Island was not far from Jake's new home. Jake had a fixed job and could accompany his daughter more. They had a stable life now.

"Angel, Mr. Bryson had arranged for me to receive you. Let me take you around!"

Audrey nodded.

Jake took Audrey and walked around the construction site. Jake was very familiar with the island's terrain. He carefully introduced the island's situation to Audrey.

When Audrey and Jake arrived near the wetland and were about to return to the project center, Audrey tripped over a rock and almost fell.

As she staggered, Audrey's sharp eyes saw two people sneakily peeking over from behind the wet grass.

Seeing that Audrey had found them, they quickly shrunk their bodies.
