Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Reunion with Simon Carrington (5)

After work, she received a call from Emily Hill, asking her to go to the market and buy some marinated dishes, saying that her grandfather was already on his way and coming over for dinner.

"Oh, should we invite Bryan Cooper to dinner too?" Grandfather’s arrival was so sudden that Emily Hill was at a loss.

"No, mom, he’s been with Axel for over a week, and he must be busy at work. Let’s not bother him." Carolline Ruiz declined directly, no matter why her grandfather was coming home. In any case, the plan was to deal with it as it happened.

She also thought that her grandfather wouldn’t go too far, maybe just trying to satisfy his desire through words.

"Oh, then come back early after buying the groceries." Emily Hill hung up the phone.

Carolline Ruiz went out to buy groceries first. She bought half a chicken, half a duck, some braised beef, braised tofu, and a mixed vegetable salad. She thought it would be enough and rushed home.

She met her grandfather at the door, and there was a familiar face beside him. Carolline Ruiz came closer and recognized him, "Grandpa, Simon Carrington?"

"Carolline Ruiz, it’s been so many years since we last met, and you still remember me?" Simon Carrington smiled warmly, just as he did several years ago, his sincerity making people feel at ease.

"Hmm, how could I not remember?" Carolline Ruiz raised an eyebrow and smiled. This was all thanks to her grandfather, who often reminded her that she had let go of such a good man like Simon Carrington and now had to face the consequences.

As people grow older and experience more, Grandfather’s words might not sound pleasant, but Carolline Ruiz still saw the care her grandfather had for her through them.

"As long as you remember, that’s good." Simon Carrington nodded, appearing very honored.

"You and your father are both in the medical field, and you still don’t know that you should eat less salted food? You bought so much of it. I knew your mother wouldn’t take care of your lives. She’s always feeding you such dishes!" Grandfather’s biggest complaint was still about Emily Hill.

"Mom just worried we wouldn’t have enough food. Besides, Simon is here too, and young people can enjoy some marinated dishes. Moreover, this dish is both hygienic and delicious, so Simon, you can eat it without any worries." Even though they hadn’t seen each other for years, facing Simon Carrington, Carolline Ruiz felt like she was meeting an old friend.

Simon Carrington also enjoyed the atmosphere, chiming in, "Yes, I like marinated dishes too."

Carolline Ruiz laughed at her grandfather, who, unwilling to argue with her, directly walked towards their home.

Carolline Ruiz and Simon Carrington followed behind, she gave Simon a grateful smile, and he shook his head.

Simon Carrington was also very charming. During the peak hours after work, many young medical staff who had just picked up their dinner from the cafeteria couldn’t help but take a second look at Simon Carrington as they passed by Carolline Ruiz and him.

Goodness, every man around Carolline Ruiz was quite a character.

Carolline Ruiz glared at them and ushered Simon into the family building.

As soon as Carolline Ruiz and the others entered the house, Henry Ruiz came in. Simon Carrington proactively greeted, "Uncle Henry."

"Ah, Simon, welcome." Henry Ruiz responded with a smile, "Dad, you told me on the phone that... "

"Let’s eat dinner first and then talk." Grandfather interrupted Henry Ruiz’s words directly.

"Oh." Henry Ruiz went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

Axel had been in his room painting all day. He ran out with watercolor paint all over his face and clothes, amusing Carolline Ruiz, while Grandfather frowned, "Young man, what are you learning in painting? Come to the old mansion, and let your great-grandfather teach you calligraphy."

"Great-grandfather, Axel likes painting." Axel looked at his great-grandfather and then at Simon Carrington beside him. He wasn’t shy but wasn’t as enthusiastic with Simon Carrington, perhaps because he was brought by his great-grandfather.
