Chapter 23: Most Girls Won'T Have A Liking For You

Chapter 23: Most Girls Won't Have a Liking for You

The Foley Mansion sat amidst lush greenery with houses scattered about. The European-stylebuildings were constructed from white marble with intricate vine patterns carved into them.

The grand hall hung Swarovski crystal chandeliers while black-and-white checkered floors added toits luxurious decor. Sitting on the sofa was an elderly man dressed in black robes with thin features.

Those eyes were extremely clear, without any trace of turbidity.

There was a hint of anger on his face as he looked towards the door, his beard shaking.

In an instant, two figures appeared in front of him.

The man wore a black three-piece suit with the suit jacket draped over his arm, revealing the vestand white shirt underneath.

His tall and slender figure was like a towering mountain peak - elegant and majestic.

Beside him timidly stood Abbie in a pink Chanel-style suit with long chestnut hair. She had purefeatures and light makeup.

"Grandfather," Kelvin called out as he walked over.

"Why did you bring her here? This is the Foley family's old mansion. What is an outsider doinghere?" old Mr. Foley's gaze turned to Abbie with disdain.

Abbie had been pestering his grandson for ten years now, from high school until now. She'sshameless!

Upon hearing this, Kelvin's handsome face darkened for a moment before helplessly saying,"Grandfather, Abbie is my sister."

Abbie stood awkwardly at the door, holding her gift bag tightly and not knowing what to do nextwhile looking at Kelvin with teary eyes.

A sense of resentment rose in her heart towards that stubborn old man... If it weren't for himmeddling all these years, she would have been together with Kelvin by now!

"Sister? Your last name is Foley while hers is Berry. How can she be your sister? Could it be thatyour father has an illegitimate daughter outside?"

The old man stomped his cane on the ground, creating a dull thud that echoed throughout the entirehall. The servants nearby dared not even lift their heads.

Abbie was left speechless, her face turning red with embarrassment.

As the middle-aged man who had just entered heard the old man's accusations, he paused in histracks and quickly explained, "Dad, please don't accuse me wrongly. I... I've only ever had one wifein my life - Gracie. I wouldn't dare to cheat on her."

Abbie called out to him in a sweet voice, "Uncle Corey."

The man walked over and glanced at the delicate young girl before sighing quietly and noddingnonchalantly as if responding to her greeting.

This was Corey Foley - Kelvin's father and former CEO of the Foley Group. He was once arenowned business genius but chose to switch careers after his wife became a vegetable due to acar accident ten years ago. They moved to a small island abroad where they rarely returned home.

Kelvin took over the Foley Group when he was a teenager and gradually developed a colddemeanor, maintaining an expressionless face even when dealing with family members.

"Dad," Kelvin called out.

"Well, I'm back to grab something. I'll catch up with you later." Corey smiled faintly and headedupstairs.

Old Mr. Foley was even angrier and gave him a fierce glare. "Your son and daughter-in-law gotdivorced, and you didn't even ask about it?"

Divorced?

Corey paused for a second, furrowing his eyebrows slightly before helplessly saying, "Dad, it'salready settled. There's no point in talking about it now. For the sake of family harmony, I'd rathernot bring it up."

"It's precisely because of family harmony that scold some sense into your stubborn son!"

Scold Kelvin? Corey took a deep breath and felt a headache coming on as he looked at histowering son and then at his elderly father with silver hair.

Looking troubled, he said softly, "Dad, Kelvin is an adult now. You're in bad health. Just leave himalone, take care of yourself, and don't get angry!"

"Cheyenne is a good girl. How about I adopt her as my goddaughter to make up for her?"

Upon hearing this suggestion from his son, old Mr. Foley got angrier. "What nonsense are youtalking about!"

With red cheeks, Corey spoke under his breath, "Everything I do is for the sake of family harmony.Harmony at home brings prosperity."

"Alright then! Get outta here! Every time I see you or your son makes me angry!" Old Mr. Foleycoldly cursed.

"Well then, Dad, I'll go upstairs first. I have to go out later." Abbie watched Corey leave like thiswhile Kelvin naturally walked over to sit on the sofa.

He said to her, "Don't just stand there. Come sit down."

"I..."

If she went over, she could only sit across from old Mr. Foley. Abbie was a little afraid of the oldman.

When old Mr. Foley was young, he had been a soldier and had been on the battlefield. The cold andfierce aura still exuded from him, especially when his gaze fell on her.

"Since you're here now, then sit down. We don't want people saying that the Foley family doesn'tknow how to entertain guests."

Looking at this timid and delicate girl made old Mr. Foley even more displeased.

Her background wasn't as good as Cheyenne's, her looks were far inferior, and her personalitywasn't as confident and bold as Cheyenne's either.novelbin

He really didn't understand why Kelvin would divorce Cheyenne for someone like this.

That brat will regret it one day!

"Grandpa, this is a gift I bought for you - Duke's Black Tea. I heard that you love drinking tea," Abbiesaid while placing the item on the table in front of him.

Old Mr. Foley gave a cold glance at the tea brick before giving a fake smile and saying, "I'm gettingolder now; if I drink too much tea at night, it'll keep me up, so I've stopped drinking it. Cheyenne toldme to drink more plain water instead."

His blood pressure was high, so he couldn't drink beverages either.

It was obvious that he was picking a fight with Abbie.

Kelvin felt angry for the first time towards his grandpa's unreasonable behavior but held back hisrage. "If Grandpa doesn't like it, then forget about it."

"Well, I like drinking plain boiled water. Life is about taking things lightly and eating bland food tokeep your mind and body comfortable. Otherwise, if you take everything too seriously, your body willnaturally suffer..."

Abbie's face turned from red to pale as she hung her head low. Her long and thick eyelashes curledup, casting a shadow on her face.

The old man didn't pay attention to her and turned his head to ask Kelvin, "I don't believe that girlwould cheat on you. She loves you more than anyone else in this world. What's the reason behindall this?"

Love him?

Kelvin couldn't help but laugh at that.

If she really loved him, would she have attended an auction with her lover just one week after theirdivorce was finalized?

"There's no particular reason;we just have incompatible personalities," Kelvin replied.

The old man's lips twitched slightly.

"She's only twenty-one years old this year, while you're almost thirty. You should be more tolerant ofher. You're a bad-tempered and moody old man who's almost thirty, most girls won't have a liking foryou!"

An old man?

Kelvin narrowed his pretty eyes slightly before retorting in a soft voice, "Grandpa, you're alreadysixty-nine years old."

Who exactly is the older one here?

Old Mr. Foley was rendered speechless.
