Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 73

Wendy had to go to work in the afternoon. It was okay to have lunch with them. So they left together.

After the three girl left, Mr. Malcolm and other three people quickly picked up their things and left. Especially, Abner, who was hurried to the court for review. So they also said goodbye to each other.

After her leg injury, Poppi took a rest for a long time. That afternoon, she followed Malcolm to visit her grandma.

Cora should have showed up in the car at the time she showed up, sitting in the passenger seat, with a calm expression that would make her shocked even by the lighting and thunder.

While driving the car carefully, Sean didn't utter a single word.

And for Malcolm, he closed his eyes for rest, refusing to be disturbed.

"What?" Poppi counted and it was her last time to heave a thirty-five sigh. That's so boring! boring!

"If you feel bored, go down the mountain by yourself and run all the way up the mountain." Malcolm opened his eyes slightly and took a look at Poppi.

"You know it's impossible." Poppi stuck out her tongue and said, "but I really feel bored. Would you please at least have a word with me! I don't want a one-man show. "

"You often do that, don't you?" Malcolm said indifferently, "Those days in the hospital, your legs were broken, but your talking was annoying."

"I will listen to the song," Poppi twitched her mouth and took out the phone that she soaked in water. Then she put on the earphone. When she was about to listen to the earphone, something occurred to her all of a sudden. Then she turned her head and asked, "Mr. Malcolm, do you want to listen to music?"

Holding the earphone on her right hand, Poppi looked at Malcolm playfully. Malcolm took a look at the earphone. Before he said whether he should listen to it or not, Poppi had taken the initiative to send one to him and put it in his ear. "It sounds so good," she said.

When the soothing foreplay sounded, Poppi had already raised the corners of her mouth and swayed with the music.

Malcolm licked his lips. The song 'at least you' was playing again. He still remembered what Poppi looked like when she sang it last time. Who was like a beautiful star which attracted people deeply.

He was so quiet that he didn't move any more. He put on the earphone and went on listening to the music with Poppi. From the rearview mirror, Cora saw the two of them looked like a couple coming out of a picture, wonderful and well matched.

Poppi listened to the song quietly and safe all the way. It was not until they almost got off the car that she reluctantly took back the earphones. Just when she was taking it back, she unintentionally saw a red mark on the left wrist of Malcolm. She was shocked and asked hastily, "Malcolm, is your wrist broken?"

"What?" When he saw where Poppi was staring at, he quickly retracted his hand and took off the earphone with his right hand awkwardly. Then he snorted and said, "no, you made a mistake."

Then, Sean stopped the car. Malcolm got off from the car from the right side.

Poppi stuck out her tongue and said, "I just want to do this out of good will but misunderstood you."

"Grandma! Grandma, I'm coming to see you! " As soon as they entered the gate of the villa, Poppi shouted again, while looking around for the old lady, "did grandma hide it?"

"You are so childish!" The old lady came down from the second floor and said to Malcolm as if she didn't notice what Poppi was doing, "come here, Mr. Malcolm! Let me have a good look at you. "

"Grandma, don't you want to take a look at me?" "Long time no see!" Poppi came close to the old lady and complained.

"You know that?" The old lady was not happy. "You don't have to come here by yourself and even took my Cora away. What a bad turtle!"

With a sigh, Poppi held her grandma in her arms and smiled, "grandma, now I am back! Are you happy now? "

The old lady raised her head proudly, trying her best to hold back a smile. "If the little turtle goes to cook dinner again, I will be happier."

"Got it!" Poppi agreed directly and put down her bag. She rolled up her sleeves and asked, "what would you like to eat, grandma?"

"Have some light food." The old lady finally opened her mouth in a kind manner. She took a look at Malcolm and said, "Dear grandson, is that okay?"

"It's up to you, grandma."

Poppi nodded her head and looked at Malcolm. They smiled and went to the kitchen.

The old lady sensed something different between them. Her wrinkled face showed a smile. She patted him on his chest and said, "Malcolm, do you want to help?"

"Well… I won't go with her. " Said Malcolm, covering his mouth smilingly.

The old lady couldn't help but laugh. "Malcolm, I'm going to see my great-grandson soon, it's right?"

Malcolm was in a daze for a moment. "may you won't see it in a short period of time."

There was a cunning light flashed through the old lady's eyes, just like what she had done to Poppi with her fox like smile. Malcolm was startled and quickly asked, "what's wrong?"

"You even don't know how to get rid of me this time. It's worth it!" As she stepped towards the sofa, she continued, "it doesn't matter if I can't see it for a short time. At least once you make a decision, there will be hope."

But Malcolm let out a turbid breath and followed the old lady to walk with her, asking, "grandma, if your grandson face some difficult problems, he doesn't know how to solve them, what can he do?"

"Touch your heart, and do as it says." She said.

"Grandma, you didn't ask me what happened."

"No matter what, you just want to follow your own will. Since you don't know how to solve a problem, it must be difficult to find a solution. In this case, you can just follow your heart. " The old lady took a distressed look at Malcolm, "dear, I hope you can be happy. Don't be too tired."

"I know, grandma." Malcolm nodded, "I'm not tired." After saying that, he looked up at the busy figure in the kitchen. He did not know since when, this woman had become the only one that would make him relaxed when he thought of her.

"Do you mean the children's problem?" The old lady said in a naughty tone, "is work too tiring that you are not in the mood for having a baby? Or is it that little turtle that doesn't want it? "

Malcolm burst into laughter. "No, something about work."

"Really?" she asked in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Then I want to see the baby."

"…… Grandma, let's stop talking about this. "

She cooked some light dishes, but the old lady still didn't eat much. Ordinarily, when the weather got cold, the old lady should have more food, but she didn't like to eat so much when she was old.

The old lady's spirit was not very good, and she was tired after chatting with Poppi and Malcolm until eight o'clock. So she had to go upstairs to rest.

After packing up, Poppi went upstairs with Malcolm and asked: "is granny not in good health recently?"

"Yes." Malcolm nodded, with a hint of imperceptible sadness in his voice, "the family doctor has been living here, observing granny's physical condition. But she was old. Some of her physical problems are not ill, but her vital energy is getting weak. The doctor can only prescribe some tonics. "

Hearing this, Poppi's heart sank. She didn't know whether she should comfort herself or her grandma. "Grandma will definitely live a long life!"

"Yes..." Malcolm responded with a low laugh. He walked to the door and said, "you can go to sleep first. I need to read some documents."

Poppi turned around, leaned against the door and said with her eyebrows raised, "as a CEO, you have so many subordinates. Why do you bow to yourself and read the documents every day? Aren't you tired?"

"When is it my turn to read the file by others? I can't be the CEO for a long time." Malcolm shrugged, "after all, I have to support the family. No matter how tired I am, I have to stick to it!"

"You feed the whole family? Who are you keeping?" Poppi raised her chin and asked him back.

"Of course you!" Malcolm raised his eyebrows.

"Well..." Poppi frowned and thought for a while, "that's right, it will cost a lot of money to raise me! It's so comfortable to be kept by someone! " After that, Poppi came up with another idea. She said jokingly, "Mr. Malcolm, I think we are getting along well now. How about making an agreement with each other? When you are fifty years old and I am not married yet, we can make do with each other? I don't mind if you're old. You just give me money on time. "

Malcolm's face changed.

Seeing this, Poppi thought that her joke was way too far, so she quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Malcolm, please don't mind! I was just joking! Just ignore what I said. You should go back to your work quickly. I'm going to rest. "

"How about being thirty-three years old?"

When Poppi just turned around with the doorknob in her hand, she suddenly heard the voice of Malcolm. She was stunned incredibly for a while. Then she turned back, swallowed hard and asked, "what did you just say?"

Malcolm put his hand into his pocket unhurriedly. "When I'm thirty-three years old, if I'm unmarried, we'll be together."

Poppi made a gesture of 'three', and said incredibly, "there are only three years left. Mr. Malcolm, are you kidding?"

"No, I didn't." Malcolm stared straight into Poppi's eyes as if he wanted to see her through. "I am asking for your advice seriously. Our contract is due two years later. There's still a year for you to get married. If you can't, I don't mind taking you in my home. "

Poppi looked at Malcolm for a while and her mind was in a mess. But when she saw the firm look on Malcolm's face, she suddenly smiled. She was neither cunning, playful, or mischievous. Instead, she smiled in a gentle and decent way and said, "Okay, we are together after three years."

Malcolm also laughed. It was the first time that he had laughed out in front of Poppi. He was such a handsome man with curved lips and twinkling eyes.

After Poppi went back to her bedroom, she went to the living room and made the bed without thinking. After taking a shower and doing skin care, she began to do yoga before she went to sleep when Hugh's phone suddenly rang.

Hesitating for a while, Poppi picked up the phone, turned on the speaker, slowly breathing and asked, "hello? Mr. Su, what's wrong? "

Just then, Malcolm opened the door and came in. He stopped when he heard the words' Mr. Su '.

"Poppi, I really have something to tell you. I am sorry to bother you so late at night." Hugh's voice came through the speaker, which sounded penetrating. "I'm going abroad tomorrow morning. After thinking about these for a long time, I decided to tell you tonight."

"What is it, Mr. Su?" Poppi changed her posture. She knelt down on one of her legs with her hands open, and used the other to support her.
