Chapter 1561″I’ve heard about it. You’re slaving away at the Crawley Group, making what, a grand a month? That wouldn’t even cover your daily coffee run!”
Angelina’s voice dripped with sarcasm.
Alaric’s gaze darkened as he responded, “If that’s all, I’m hanging up.”
“Wait!” Angelina cut in quickly, “Your grandpa wants to see you, says you should come home for dinner.”
“I’m tied up today, I’l call Grandpa myself tomorrow.” Alaric didn’t want to get entangled in a conversation with Angelina more than necessary. If his
grandpa wanted to see him, he would get in touch directly.
“You don’t want to come home, do you?” Angelina pressed just as he was about to end the call.
“So what if I don’t?” Alaric retorted, his voice tinged with defiance.
Was it that easy for Angelina to summon him back to the Falconer household after she’d been the one to cast him out?
He knew it. Angelina was using Grandpa as bait, trying to trick him into returning Ads by PubFuture
He refused to be led around by Angelina anymore, refused to listen to her whims!
“Fine, if you don’t want to come home, that’s your call,” Angelina said, her tone less forceful than Alaric had expected, taking a step back.
Alaric frowned, wondering what game Angelina was playing now.
Before he could speak, the voice of Remington Falconer came through the phone, “Alaric, you’ve been away for more than ten days now. Grandpa
misses you. Why don’t we have dinner together today?”
That truly was his grandpa!
No matter how much Alaric resisted Angelina, he couldn’t use the same harsh tone with his grandpa.
Grandpa had always been there for him, even willing to spend a fortune to annul his engagement with Georgia when things got complicated.
“Alright, Grandpa, where shall we eat?” Alaric’s tone softened instantly.
“Your grandpa remembers you love a good steak, so how about we meet at W&W Restaurant? It’s close to your office too,” Remington suggested.
“See you soon, then,” Alaric said before hanging up.
Though he had reached his apartment, he turned his car around and left. Ads by PubFuture
Twenty minutes later, Alaric arrived at W&W Restaurant.
The place was upscale and luxurious, with a romantic ambiance perfect for dates.

Seeing Georgia instantly put Alaric on edge, his defenses up. “Georgia, what are you doing here?”
“Angelina told me you arranged to have dinner with me here today,” Georgia said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Alaric’s face tightened, a storm brewing in his sharp eyes.
He’d been duped, his grandpa and Angelina teaming up against him?
He had underestimated Angelina’s cunning!
