Chapter 82: Thinking of a Man
Just as both Blanche Capra and York Charlie were caught up in the tangle and pain, York Charlie’s grandmother called.
“York,” old lady Elsa said over there, “You’re with your daughter-in-law, aren’t you?”
York Charlie froze, “Well, what’s wrong?”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I’ve been watching the news make a lot of noise and I wanted to see you guys settle my own mind.” Old lady Elsa said.
“Now?” He asked.
old lady Elsa answered, “Yes, or I’m going to have trouble sleeping at night.”
York Charlie looked to one side at Blanche Capra and told her, “Grandma wants to see us, now.” The emotion in his eyes hadn’t faded, but his face had returned to its usual look, nothing expressive.
Blanche Capra thought for a moment, but nodded.
Seeing that she hadn’t refused, York Charlie’s heart eased a little and he resumed his promise to old lady Elsa on his mobile phone. The two headed outside together again.
York Charlie had intended to send her upstairs and then left, at this time his car is parked outside the neighbourhood. They were silent all the way, as if they were both thinking about themselves.
Just as York Charlie opened the car door for her, Blanche Capra suddenly said, “You’ve really changed a lot, I think.”
York Charlie couldn’t guess what she was going to say and was a little jittery.
Blanche Capra smiled slightly, “You make decisions now and ask my opinion, for example, just now, when Grandma asked me to go back with you, you didn’t just make the decision for me, you asked my opinion before agreeing.”
York Charlie had one hand still on the car door when Blanche Capra leaned forward slightly and hugged him around the waist, then quickly let go. York Charlie, however, was still in a daze.
Blanche Capra had already gotten herself into the car.
York Charlie was undoubtedly surprised; he hadn’t expected Blanche Capra to offer to hug him for something so trivial that he hadn’t noticed. Perhaps it was all the details that she paid attention to?
York Charlie thought as he drove up. The rest of his eyes saw the side of her stoic face, and he couldn’t figure out what she was thinking, whether she was in a good or bad mood. With her attention to detail like that, would she feel like a lightweight if he thought wrongly and mistook her for not being angry with him and wanting more because of that unsolicited hug she’d just given him?
Blanche Capra actually has a lot to say that hasn’t already been said. She felt that York Charlie had changed not only would ask her opinion, but would also carefully explain to her what she did not understand, even if she did not even take the initiative to ask him, he would also explain to her.
And … he became very gentle and considerate, he actually will also become cautious, rather than as before, everything is a mastermind in control of the appearance.
In fact, this kind of him is even more exciting.
Of course, Blanche Capra will not tell him all this.
When the two of them arrived at Charlie manor, old lady Elsa couldn’t wait to welcome them.
old lady Elsa was very happy and said to Blanche Capra, “Since they are all here, let’s have dinner together today?”
Blanche Capra nodded her head and smiled lightly as well, “Okay, grandma, dinner hasn’t been made yet, right? Why don’t we go make it together?” She recalled that old lady Elsa used to love cooking, when she was still Brandi she was giving her a hand every time.
old lady Elsa was first stunned, and a nostalgic look also appeared in her eyes, “Good, although grandma is getting old, and cooking is starting to be more than she can handle, this hand strength, ah, taste, ah, have pretty much retreated, but you can still help me out.”
York Charlie always felt that Blanche Capra and old lady Elsa both conversed as if they had known each other for years, maybe … grandma still thought of her as Brandi?
Thinking of this, he went to look at Blanche Capra again, Blanche Capra saw him looking over, smiled at him and said, “I’m going to cook with Grandma, I know you’re a good cook, but this time you should stay out of it.”
York Charlie was so infected by her bright smile that he couldn’t help but smile back.
At that moment, it was as if the dark clouds over his heart had mostly dissipated.
Blanche Capra and OLD LADY Elsa went into the kitchen, Blanche Capra said, “Grandma, let’s make those dishes you used to love to make today, I don’t know if the ingredients are all there.” With that she went to rummage through the fridge.
“There really are, Grandma, your fridge is so full of ingredients,” Blanche Capra’s eyes lit up, “unlike mine, which is basically frozen food and eggs.”
When old lady Elsa saw her lively and lovely appearance, it was as if she had been transported back many years, and her old man’s heart instantly followed her as if she were several years younger.
She smiled kindly, “O little Brandi, come, let us begin.”
Blanche Capra’s heart trembled when she heard her call her that, and then she said softly as she washed up the dishes, “Grandma, will you promise me one thing?”
When old lady Elsa heard this, she suddenly smiled, “Don’t worry, I only call you that when it’s just the two of us, think about it, isn’t that right?”
Blanche Capra was surprised and touched, “Grandma …”
It turned out that Grandma knew all about her, which is why she didn’t even call her by her first name in front of people, neither her current name nor her old name. Even at York Charlie’s, she called her “your daughter-in-law”.
Blanche Capra blushed a little at the thought of that.
Old lady Elsa saw it all and laughed, teasing her, “You won’t blame me for calling you York’s daughter-in-law, will you? , you don’t want to tell him who you are, then I won’t.”
Blanche Capra more and more touched to look at her, old lady Elsa busy said, “but don’t cry again, still have to make dinner, let’s live a good life in the future!”
Blanche Capra did not say anything, old lady Elsa again could not help but sigh, “Alas, I just hope to be able to see you and York soon to get married.”
This dinner was somewhat quiet.
York Charlie is usually silent, Blanche Capra because of the conversation with old lady Elsa and some fluctuations in the mind, old lady Elsa also did not say much, she felt that she should have done everything, although she is very anxious, but look at today’s atmosphere between the two people, a little bit unsuitable for her to snark.
But it was a quiet dinner, but not dull and stiff, and all three ate an eighth of their fill.
Later York Charlie offered to take Blanche Capra home, but Blanche Capra refused.
She said, “It’s too early for dinner today, it’s still dark, and I want to walk alone.”
York Charlie was uneasy and wanted to give her a ride, but she was very determined, “York, I’m not a child, I can go home alone, and don’t you think, with all that’s been going on, we both need to give each other space to sort things out properly?”
York Charlie looked at her extraordinarily determined, even serious gaze, and thought about it before nodding his head in agreement.
He guessed that she was very tired because of what he had done during this time, right? So it was understandable that she wanted to rest and rest alone, and he didn’t want to push her so hard, besides, in the end, he was the one who had wronged her.
Blanche Capra’s expression loosened when she saw him agree, and even brought a little smile to her face, watching York Charlie’s heart loosen as well. So, this was indeed the right thing to do.
Blanche Capra then turned to leave, only to take two steps, but then heard York Charlie calling her from behind, “Blanche, you … won’t leave me easily, right?”
