Chapter 335 - 341: Dallas Taylor Returns to Request Monthly Tickets (7)
"Grandpa." Koa Jackson said irritably, trying to hold back, "I’m really not in the mood today. Find someone else to show them around the garden."
"..." Old Master Jackson watched him with tightly furrowed eyebrows.
Koa Jackson turned his head to glance at Lia Chester, his gaze then faintly settling on Lia’s mother, nodding slightly before turning and leaving.
"Hey..."
Lydia Williams watched his back, feeling utterly embarrassed.
Koa Jackson has always been very dignified, and although he’s aloof and distant, he’s extremely polite.
To walk away so coldly like this was indeed unprecedented.
What’s going on?!
Lydia Williams looked at his back, then at Old Master Jackson’s furious demeanor, feeling a headache coming on. She turned to Lia Chester and her mother, giving an awkward smile to smooth things over, "He must have encountered something unpleasant; it’s the first time seeing him look so upset."
Lia Chester also felt embarrassed, glancing sideways at her mother, then smiling broadly.
She raised her eyes, looking in the direction Koa Jackson left, lost in thought.
She came specifically for this, but they didn’t even exchange a word.
Her mood was naturally not very good.
After a while—
Lia Chester’s mother found an excuse and left with her, her face stiff.
Lydia Williams saw them off and then returned, noticing the expression on Old Master Jackson’s face, helplessly laughed, "I don’t know what’s up with Koa today? He didn’t leave any face for anyone, and Lia Chester is indeed a very nice girl."
The old man wore a stern face, not speaking.
Koa Jackson has been abroad all these years, rarely coming back.
Yet—
Since he returned at the beginning of the year until now, it’s the first time he made him so angry, and in front of outsiders no less.
Absolutely infuriating!
Lydia naturally understood his anger, cautiously said, "Dad, maybe he’s just in a bad mood today, don’t take it to heart. Everyone has bad days..."
"The girl came all the way to meet." Old Master Jackson sighed and sat back in his chair, looking at her, suddenly reproaching, "It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t angered Mia that girl, would Koa still be delaying things now? He should be arranging the engagement already! He’s almost twenty-eight, and he doesn’t show a bit of urgency! I thought he and Mia were quite a match, he used to say he’d marry her when they were kids with a smile! Now, if it drags on until he’s thirty, I might kick the bucket by then!"
"Dad! What are you talking about!" Daniella Jackson said crossly from a distance.
"Exactly, exactly, stop saying such things, you’re waiting to see our Bryan get married!" Lydia Williams quickly comforted.
"It’s all your fault!" Old Master Jackson pointed harshly at Lydia Williams, fuming.
"My fault, my fault, don’t be angry." Lydia Williams put on a pained expression, apologizing repeatedly in a low, meek voice.
"Feelings can’t be forced." Daniella Jackson seeing he took a breath, consoled, "With Koa’s conditions, he doesn’t worry about finding a wife. Put your mind at ease and take care of your health, so you can enjoy holding great-grandchildren in the future."
"Easier said than done!" Old Master Jackson glanced at her, sighed helplessly, "This kid is just driving me to the brink of impatience!"
"How about this?" Lydia Williams had a sudden idea, "Your birthday is on January 1st this year. Why don’t we take this opportunity to throw a grand birthday party, inviting friends and family, giving Koa a chance to meet people?"
As she finished speaking, the old man’s expression became even gloomier, staring at her without saying a word.
Lydia Williams’ expression turned awkward, hesitantly asked, "Dad, did I say something wrong?"
