Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 74

The old Grant house was in the west of the city, and extending further west were several tangled roads. At this moment, two low-profile but still extravagant racecars were parked on the side of the road.

Blanca looked at the cars and swallowed.

Jeez.

This was the sort of thing you’d only see on television!

A modified pink Ferrari was parked on the pavement. Jim leant on its side, clutching a still-burning cigarette between his fingers. As the smoke twirled, he blew a ring. “Not scared, are you, Matthew?”

“Scared?” Matthew stood on the other side, his whole body emanating a fierce aura.

He lifted a hand and popped one of the buttons on his collar.

It was a single motion. “Jim, in all my years… I haven’t been scared of anything.” With that, Matthew’s lips curved up into a playful smirk.

Who was this slick bastard!? Blanca had never seen Matthew like this!

He knew how to race?!

Wasn’t he supposed to be some dork who only knew how to study, and nothing about anything outside of books? How else was he still a virgin at this age?

Er…

Well, Blanca wasn’t sure if Matthew was a virgin, but with all her years of experience and having lived at his place for a while, she could just tell that he was a single man with no sex life all year round!

“What are you standing around for? Go stop them!” Louise was panicking already. She pushed at Blanca’s arm. Blanca stumbled and frowned. “What are you doing?”

“Go stop them!”

“Why don’t you go?” Blanca crossed her arms like it had nothing to do with her, and didn’t budge. She shot Louise a look, while actually observing the surroundings.

This was a large area. From Blanca’s experience, the mountain path behind wove sharply. If the two did race here, it was very possible that they’d have an accident.

But… she didn’t believe Matthew was this stupid?

“Wh-what do you mean? Blanca, one of them’s your husband and the other’s your brother-in-law? How could you not stop them?”

“Huh? What kind of reasoning is that? They’re both your brothers too.” Blanca scoffed.

She didn’t know why Louise didn’t want the two to race and wasn’t going up there, but… no matter what Louise had her do, she was going to do the opposite. She just didn’t like the woman, after all!

“Blanca Roach! You-”

“Quit pointing at me, I’m not deaf,” Blanca chuckled. Meanwhile, it was getting even more tense between Matthew and Jim.

Still, Jim was the only one being angry about it.

Matthew didn’t care one whit.

“Hah, I’m curious, big brother. You really don’t care about anything at all?” Jim’s eyes suddenly gleamed. He’d seen Louise take Blanca here already.

Jim leant on his car, one hundred percent the rich playboy.

Matthew remained casual, but seemed to be losing his patience. “If we’re going to race, hurry up.” He had too much to do to wile away the hours with Jim here in family drama.

“Of course we’re racing! But… how about we spice it up?”

“Oh?”

Seeing that Matthew wasn’t refusing, Jim waved at the women behind them and called, “Come over and play, Blanca! No fun just watching, right?”
