Chapter 955:
"You are quite straightforward," the elderly man said with a chuckle.If it were anyone else, they would certainly seize this opportunity, even if just to gain some advantage.
They would surely want to get in touch with the White Family.
Being owed a favor by the White Family is far more valuable than any expression of gratitude.
This girl, however, directly pushes it away, quite interesting.
Bella Green smiled awkwardly; she wasn’t straightforward, just too embarrassed to ask for any benefits...
Caleb White glanced at her again, his gaze carrying a hint of something she couldn’t understand.
When she tried to ponder it further, Caleb had already shifted his gaze to Joanna Ramsey, his eyes gentle.
"Joanna, true to your name indeed."
Joanna Ramsey was complimented, and her cheeks flushed involuntarily.
She was different from Bella Green, even though the elder was still amiable and kind in front of the two girls, he was, after all, the head of the White Family.
Just his identity alone was enough to make Joanna Ramsey feel unsettled.
"Hello, Grandpa White." She greeted politely, her face blushing.
Her demeanor made the elder smile even more contentedly.
At his age, having seen all kinds of people,
he had a particular fondness for children with such innocent hearts.
"Richard has a good eye, he’s a good kid." Caleb White nodded.
Hearing Richard Shaw’s name, Joanna Ramsey’s blush instantly faded, turning pale.
This reaction, naturally, caught the elder’s eye, but he didn’t comment.
"The second child is still abroad, he probably won’t be back today, but don’t worry, Grandpa and his several brothers are here, you won’t be neglected."
The elder’s words made Bella Green’s face suddenly drop.
"Oh? Such an important day for the engagement, the second young master isn’t present?"
Joanna Ramsey didn’t speak, but Bella Green couldn’t help herself.
The elder looked at her, his gaze even kinder.
"The second one has been sickly since childhood, always recuperating abroad. Kyoto is too cold; his body can’t handle it."
Bella Green: "..."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Bella Green was even more frustrated.
So the second young master is actually a sickly person...
Can’t handle the slightest cold, then what can he handle?
Joanna, is she about to marry a sickly person?
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated Bella Green became; turning to look at Joanna, she was even more frustrated.
Joanna Ramsey listened to the elder’s words, showing no reaction at all.
No dissatisfaction or anger.
"So, when will the second young master be back?" Joanna Ramsey asked.
She felt that no matter what, she should meet the second young master face to face.
There were some matters she needed to clarify with him in advance...
Caleb White laughed with a face full of wrinkles: "Joanna wants to meet the second young master. Don’t worry, even though he can’t come back, he will call you."
Joanna Ramsey blushed; that wasn’t what she meant...
"Bella, you don’t mind me calling you that, do you?" the elder shifted the topic again.
Bella Green was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"Joanna will stay in Kyoto for a few days. Why not Bella come stay at our place for a few days too? Lola really likes you."
"Thank you for the kind offer, but I’m afraid I can’t. I have a film that’s about to start shooting."
Caleb White suddenly realized: "Ninefold of Immortal Mountain?"
Bella Green didn’t expect Caleb White to know, guessing it might have been mentioned by Laura White or Margaret White, she wasn’t too surprised and nodded.
Caleb White nodded, analyzing: "This film might be released at the same time as Radiant Legend; it could overshadow your work!"
