Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Reunion with Simon Carrington (7)

Some traditional ideas are deeply rooted in people’s minds, and they are not easy to get rid of.

"Humph, I’m not a little kid, my great-grandma said, if old people don’t respect kids, I don’t have to respect them either." Axel suddenly spoke loudly and ran towards the door.

"You——" Master Henry was so angry, "What kind of people are these? They have no manners, how can they teach a child like this?"

Master Henry was so angry that he slammed his cane heavily on the floor. Seeing this, Emily Hill could only stay silent, mourning for her poor floor in her heart. Alas, her floor had suffered another heavy blow from the old master.

Carolline Ruiz was just about to explain when the door opened, and Bryan Cooper came in refreshed. Seeing Axel’s aggrieved face, he didn’t care that there were guests, and held his precious son in his arms. "What happened? Axel, did you get scolded?"

Bryan Cooper looked at Carolline Ruiz and then noticed the serious expressions on their faces. "What’s going on?"

Master Henry naturally heard Bryan Cooper’s voice. How could he not recognize this person? Was he Axel’s father? If so, then there was no hope for Henry Ruiz and Emily Hill, and he must uphold the dignity of a family patriarch and elder.

"Nothing happened. My grandpa’s here." Carolline whispered.

Axel pouted and interrupted, "Great-grandpa called me a little brat. Great-grandma said children also need to be respected. If great-grandpa doesn’t respect me, I won’t respect him either in the future."

"...Great-grandpa didn’t mean that, Axel. You misunderstood him. Alright, come down, Dad will go apologize to great-grandpa for you first." Bryan Cooper put Axel down and strode towards the living room.

That’s when he saw Simon Carrington as well. Simon stood up and shook hands with him when he came in. "Mr. Hawkins, long time no see."

"Mr. Carrington, nice to see you." Bryan Cooper reached out and shook hands with him. After the two men exchanged pleasantries, Bryan Cooper sat down across from Master Henry. "Grandpa, hello."

"Hmph——" Master Henry snorted coldly, not wanting to look at him at all.

"Grandpa, I know that I have wronged Carolline and Axel these past few years, and made my parents and you sad. It’s too late for me to apologize, and it’s normal for you to be angry. But please believe my sincerity, give me some time to prove to you that I will treat Carolline well. There has been some misunderstandings between us before, but such things will never happen again in the future. Grandpa, you can punish me however you want, as long as you’re not angry."

Bryan Cooper’s humble and respectful words made it hard for anyone to imagine that the high and mighty Mr. Hawkins of Hawkins Family, who never had to read people’s faces or lower himself in front of his countless staff, would look so humble and low in front of Carolline’s grandfather.

In the business world, he never needed to pander to others. He had the skills and pride to make others cater to him. But now, for Carolline, he was willing to look at an elder’s face and even the faces of all the members in Carolline’s family.

"...Can I really punish you any way I want?" Master Henry asked in return.

Just as Bryan Cooper was about to say yes, Emily Hill couldn’t take it anymore and came over. "Dad, it’s getting late, and Axel is hungry too. Let’s eat. If there’s anything else to say, let’s talk after dinner. You forgot, you can’t go hungry either."

"Hmph——" Master Henry was so angry. Was she really a mother-in-law? She really cared about her son-in-law, but what about her own daughter? Didn’t she care about her at all?
