CHAPTER 432 SAM'S GRANDMOTHER
Yvonne followed the voice and saw Sam dressed in white loungewear as he walked into the room while holding a small tablet.
Yvonne's eyes widened slightly as he got closer. She seemed stunned.
That was right, she was stunned!
When men saw beautiful women, they would be stunned by their beauty and likewise, when women saw beautiful men, they would feel the same way.
For example, when she saw Henry for the first time, she was stunned by his looks.
She had only felt this way for three men. The first one was Henry, the second was Elliot, and the third was Sam. This was because all three of them looked stunning. Moreover, Sam had just changed his clothes.
She suddenly realized that it was the first time she had seen Sam wearing clothes other than formal suits. He was in a casual style, which was completely different from his usual serious and formal suit.
She thought that this clothing style suited Sam perfectly as it matched his personality, just like prince charming in the movies.
"Miss Frey? Miss Frey?" The maid gently pushed Yvonne and called out her name when she saw that
Yvonne was in a daze.
Yvonne quickly composed herself and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
The maid pointed to Sam and said, "Mr. Smith asked if you've finished your breakfast."
"Yes, yes." Yvonne quickly answered and looked at Sam. "Mr. Smith, why are you here?"
Sam held up a finger and hushed her, motioning her not to speak yet.
Yvonne nodded and covered her mouth as she stopped talking. She stared at him curiously with her almond eyes, wondering what he was doing.
Sam put his finger down and raised the tablet. As he looked at the tablet’s screen, he said in a gentler voice, "Grandma, yes, that's my sister. Do you want to see her?"
Grandmother? This belongs to .
Yvonne suddenly realized something and she started feeling anxious.
If she guessed it correctly, he wanted her to pretend to be his sister, Shannon, and talk to his grandmother!
Sure enough, Sam stopped talking to the elderly on the other end of the video call and looked at Yvonne a s he whispered, "Help me so that Grandma'll be happy.
"..." Yvonne looked embarrassed. She didn't have much confidence in herself because she was worried that she might reveal herself.
In fact, the last favor Sam asked her to do was to go abroad to see his grandmother. Now, she could just see his grandmother through the screen, which was more convenient, but...
"You don't want to?" When Sam saw Yvonne's reluctance to take the tablet in his hand and was deep in thought, Sam thought she didn't want to help him, s o the light in his eyes dimmed.
When Yvonne saw his expression, her heart softened and she replied, "It's not that I don’t want to, I'm just afraid that I might reveal myself because I'm not your sister after all. If your grandmother finds out, it would hurt her."
"No." Sam shook his head with certainty, "I told you that my grandmother only remembers what my younger sister looked like when she was a teenager, and you look almost identical to her from back then, s o she won't be able to tell. Moreover, she'll meet you on screen and she can't touch you, so it's even harder to tell."
"Really?" Yvonne's nervous heart suddenly felt at ease after hearing his words.
That was true-she should only worry about that when she met his grandmother in real life. There was really no need to worry when they were just meeting virtually.
As Yvonne thought about this, she took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to Sam as she finally mustered up the courage. "I'll give it a try."
"Okay." Sam reconnected the video and put the tablet i n her hand.
As soon as the tablet touched her hand, a human face popped up on the screen.
It was an old lady with hair as white as snow and a face full of wrinkles. The old lady looked like she was about eighty and her skin was pale with a rosy glow. There were no age spots like most elderly people. At first glance, she seemed like an old lady that was well off and taken care of.
So that was Sam's grandmother. She looked a little like him, especially her eyes. They looked very kind.
On the screen, the old lady saw Yvonne and her eyes that were blurry and out of focus suddenly lit up." Shan..." 1
Yvonne panicked and looked at Sam for help. "I... How should I respond?"
"You’re Shannon now so you just need to speak naturally and greet grandma." Sam reminded her.
Yvonne gulped and nodded again. She turned her gaze back and forced a smile at the person on the other end of the video as she called out softly," Grandma." "Hey!" the old lady exclaimed and her eyes were teary.
She raised her old hand and towards the camera as she trembled—i was as if she wanted to touch Yvonne's face through the screen.
Yvonne realized her intentions and after biting her lower lip, she stretched her face closer to the camera and pretended like she was touched by the old lady, with an expression of enjoyment on her face.
Sam was very surprised when he saw this.
He had never expected her to be this intimate with his grandmother. He only hoped that she could call her ' Grandma’ and have a little talk with her to make her smile.
But he was very surprised to see that Yvonne would take the initiative to bond with his grandmother.
Because of that, Sam's gaze that was looking at Yvonne softened.
Yvonne didn't notice Sam's gaze as all her attention was on the old lady.
Since she started calling the old lady ’Grandma,’ she was no longer so awkward around the old lady and overly worried that she might find out that Yvonne was fake.
After spending time with the old lady, they had become very natural.
The old lady was really very kind. Yvonne talked to her and really treated her as her own grandmother.
For a while, their laughter warmed up the huge room.
Yvonne had a lovely chat with the old lady until the tablet was about to run out of battery. The old lady was also urged by her people to rest, so the video call that was nearly an hour-long finally ended.
"Mr. Smith, TH return this to you. I'm sorry, but it ran out of battery." Yvonne handed the tablet to Sam and she felt a little sorry.
Sam waved his hand and did not care at all. "You don't need to apologize, I should thank you instead.
Grandma is very happy today."
"You're welcome. It’s my pleasure since you've helped me and saved me. This was just a small favor, so you don't need to thank me. I’m very happy that Grandma..."
Suddenly realizing that she had mistakenly called the old lady 'Grandma,' Yvonne's face flushed and she gave out a light cough as she quickly corrected herself. "The old lady is very kind."
Sam smiled happily when he saw her embarrassed expression. "You should still call her 'Grandma,' or else if you keep switching between that and 'old lady,’ you might get mixed up next time."
"Next time?" Yvonne listened to the hidden message i n his sentence and blinked in surprise. "Mr. Smith, you mean... I'll video call old... Grandma again?"
Sam nodded lightly. "Yes. Now that Grandma knows about you, she'll probably want to see you very often."
"Huh?" Yvonne twitched the corner of her mouth. "I didn't know that. You didn't tell me before this."
"I just realized it too." Sam smiled apologetically.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket started ringing.
After he apologized, he took the phone out and looked at the caller ID in shock.
