Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2419: Chapter 2428: The Old Lady Is a Master of Acting

She promised to complete the task excellently.

Old Madam Habsden’s eyes darted quickly, full of cunning and childlike mischief. She was elegant and dignified, and with this touch of childlikeness, it made her seem even more genuine and approachable, unlike Old Master Lawrence, who gave people an untouchable feeling. She looked like a kind and beautiful old lady.

”You don’t want to go?” Old Madam Habsden said, and seeing he didn’t immediately agree, she quickly asked again.

Her beloved grandson had said this was the last chance.

If that girl couldn’t be her daughter-in-law, she’d be the mother of a monk for life.

She refused to accept that!

She still wanted to hold grandchildren, to hear someone call her grandma.

Edward Jackson had no idea she had secretly contacted Bobby and had even talked to Bobby about his reluctance to marry. He also didn’t know that Bobby had secretly used the computer to investigate his past romances, thoroughly, and eventually selected what was believed to be ’true love’ to offer Old Madam Habsden.

Bobby had even taught her an entire set of 7.5 successful matchmaking methods he’d seen on TV.

The elderly lady, who was almost ready to give up, suddenly became lively again, coming up with the ’hunger strike’ method to force him to go on the blind date.

Edward Jackson, facing her ’reddened’ eyes, couldn’t bring himself to say the words of refusal, ”I’ve been quite busy with work lately...”

He hadn’t even finished saying ’busy’.

When he saw the old lady clutching her chest, as if she was short of breath, ”Oh dear, my heart... my heart feels so uncomfortable...”

”It must be from the anger you’ve caused me... If I’d known earlier, I’d have left with your father...”

She panted heavily, clutching her heart, and her performance was entirely without any acting skill.

It was just a blatant threat!

Hayes and the others were long used to this; this trick was Old Madam’s ace in the hole, and it always worked particularly well whenever she used it. So Old Madam would take this approach from time to time.

However, the Master seemed determined not to go on any more blind dates. Who knows if this time the old lady could win the battle.

”Mom, I really don’t want to go on a blind date...” Edward Jackson steeled himself and still said.

Old Madam Habsden glared at him, about to jump up and make a fuss, but then remembered her grandson’s advice to use the ”self-inflicted injury” trick. She held back forcibly, using a finger smeared with onion juice to rub her eye, and tears flowingly came out, ”Forget it if you don’t go, I won’t force you... What’s the point of me living... I’m going back...”

Gigi happened to come back from playing outside.

Hearing the noise in the bedroom, she dashed away from the servant and ran over.

She arrived just in time to see her beloved grandma crying. Her big, clear eyes suddenly turned red, and before Hayes could comfort her, she let out a loud cry and began to weep too.

While crying, she whined, ”Uncle is bad, bullies Grandma... bad Uncle...”

Her sobbing was soft and pitiful.

Old Madam Habsden was originally fake crying, but seeing her little baby truly crying, her heart ached terribly, and she quickly had someone bring the little one onto her bed, gently comforting her.

But with onion juice on her eyes, her tears continued to stream down.

The old and the young, one fake crying, one truly crying, to onlookers, the scene was pitifully moving.
