The Love Book

Chapter 31 – Snitching



If he likes it, she’d rather not work and spend time with him, but he’s getting more and more distant from her now, and all she can do is spend her work minutes thinking about his mind.

She took a breath before slowly pulling her lips into a smile, “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry, I’ll negotiate with Kemp on these matters.”

“But you can’t continue to hide this marriage from the public anymore.”

Phoebe Barnes felt a sting on her nerves, raised her eyes in the direction of Genny Ross and nodded good-naturedly, “Well, I’ll talk to Kemp about it later, don’t worry Grandpa.”

The old man nodded and didn’t sit for long before he left with the help of his maid.

The disguised expression on Genny Ross’s face was instantly removed, and he looked at her with a cold sly smile, “Am I scaring you? Thought I was snitching on Grandpa again?”

Phoebe Barnes’ face also cooled and looked at her solemnly, “Genny Ross, Grandpa is old and not well, if you really care about him, don’t bother him with these things next time.”

Genny Ross bristled and grunted, “I don’t want to bother him either, but he likes you so much even though I hate you so much. It’s as if you’re his own granddaughter.”

Phoebe Barnes’ eyes widened slightly, “Genny Ross, do I need to tell you how Grandpa treated you? Don’t bring anyone else into this feud between the two of us, you hate me, but I don’t like you either.”

“So who do you like?” Genny Ross looked at her with a sudden seeming smile and weird eyes, “My brother, or that Ann Shi?”

“You!” Phoebe Barnes paled slightly and reprimanded in a low voice, “Don’t guess if you don’t know, things aren’t what you think they are.”

Genny Ross continued to knock on the dried fruit, lowered his eyes and said carelessly, “I didn’t say anything to grandpa about this, so … the nervousness you just felt is completely superfluous.”

“But …” the words turned, she raised her eyes to look at her, her voice low and soft, “you do not think I am helping you, hehe … I have conditions. ”

Phoebe Barnes gritted her teeth, and her pretty face showed a few moments of depth, “You’re going to threaten me with this?”

“You understand.” Genny Ross tore the fruit meat into his mouth, scattered to say: “I just need to say so a word or two in grandpa’s ear, even though he will not blame you, he will also put all the fault on big brother, then, you say, big brother will not hate you more?”

Phoebe Barnes furrowed her eyebrows steeply, half-heartedly, closed her eyes and bit out the words, “What are the terms?”

Genny Ross gradually hooked his lips, the smile on his face deepened, “Make an appointment for me with Ann Shi.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes was stunned, “You know that’s not possible.”

Genny Ross is a fan of Ann Shi?

But Ann Shi kind of character is the top existence in the entertainment industry, not to mention whether it can be found, even if contacted, he may not have the time.

“I thought he wouldn’t even gossip with anyone until he got married, and didn’t you make him do it?” Genny Ross’ tone was full of acidity, his eyes tinged with a hint of jealousy.

As a young lady of the Ross family, she could not meet any celebrity she wanted to meet. But the one she likes the most has never paid any attention to her. She contacted Ann Shi from a few years ago when she started to fan him, but never got a response, and this woman casually made the news with him.

Phoebe Barnes frowned, “That was a misunderstanding, you know full well that I’m a hundred thousand miles away from him, there’s no way I could have met him alone.”

Genny Ross stood up with both hands and a cool smile, “That’s your business, I just want the results, the process is up to you.”

Said patting the fruit crumbs on his hands, turned around and walked away, muttering, “Big brother is almost back, will it be lively tonight too?”

Phoebe Barnes tightened her expression, bit her lip and suddenly spoke out, “I’ll ask him out for you, but you also have to promise me that you won’t say anything nonsense in front of grandpa.”

“OK!”

Phoebe Barnes returned to the main house in the front yard with a heavy heart, just as Kemp Ross was returning.

She looked slightly pleased and greeted her up, “Back.”

The man’s eyes lingered on her face for a second, then moved away and gave a faint hint, turning around to go upstairs.

Phoebe Barnes was stunned, her eyes flashed abruptly and she said, “Where are you going?”

“Look at Grandpa!” The man’s head didn’t return.

Phoebe Barnes was anxious and raised her hand to pull his sleeve, saying, “Grandpa has been talking with Genny and me in the back garden for a long time, so I guess he’s tired, so don’t bother him.”

If he appeared in front of Grandpa now, those words would surely be repeated to him.

The man stopped and turned his eyes to look at her, his thick black eyes were deep and profound, probably guessing her mind, his voice was clear and cool, “What, are you going to play rejection with me today? Is it that you don’t want me to go up, or do you want me to go up?”

Phoebe Barnes’ mind naturally went back to the scene last night when he was pinned to his desk, her ears flushed, she dropped his arm and went straight upstairs, “Go back to the bedroom, I want to talk to you.”

The man raised a silent eyebrow, dark eyes deep, thin lips gradually pursed.

In the bedroom, the man entered the door, one foot will close the door, hands copied as western pants pockets, back home, handsome cold face more than a few lazy loose.

“What do you want to say?”

Phoebe Barnes looked at him and said as calmly as she could, “Grandpa … mentioned the marriage announcement to me again today, I didn’t take a stand, and if he asks you again, I hope … you won’t say yes. ”

The man looked at her brow, “You think I want to say yes?”

Phoebe Barnes, “I know you won’t disobey Grandpa.”

Even though he will be upset in his heart, he will agree to Grandpa’s request three times.

The man walked up to her without hurrying, raised his hand and patted her face, his smile was cool, “Are you figuring out what I have in mind? So you plan to play a virtuous lady in front of me?”

Phoebe Barnes breathed slightly and looked at him stiffly, “I didn’t … I just don’t want to announce the marriage now, and neither do you, do you?”

The man withdrew his hand, his eyes looked out the window, his tone did not have any ups and downs, “I don’t have that much time to dwell on this, whether I get married or not has little effect on those women out there, and even less on men.”

So … public or not he actually doesn’t care at all.

Phoebe Barnes eyes dimmed, biting her pink lips, whispered, “But it has an effect on me, since you don’t care about anything … can’t you give me the convenience?”

Kemp Ross looked down at the woman’s taut features, the delicate face under the long hair revealed a look that seemed a little different from the usual, but could not see exactly what the difference.

He suddenly smiled slowly and lightly, his eyebrows lowered, his eyes indifferent and bottomless, “The effect on you is to prevent you from making those peachy news.”

Phoebe Barnes snapped her eyes up at her, her face slightly white.

He knows about that too?

He usually pays very little attention to these things, how did he know?

“No, it’s not, that incident was a misunderstanding, an accident …”

“I’m not interested in your job.” The man faintly interrupted her panic-stricken defense, a pair of dark eyes did not turn a moment to stare at her face, low and deep said: “However, before you are green, I also do not want to go out with a piece of green on your head, since it is you who want to hide, then hide the labor, if one day what news emerges outside, all the consequences you are responsible for.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

His words always pierced her heart easily.
