Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Continue the Fight
Everyone turned their heads at the sound, only to see Jordan Thompson pinching the small teacup in his hand, huddling on the side, sipping the tea inside.
Because the tea was really too hot, he could only make some faint sounds.
Seeming to realize that people were looking at him, Jordan lifted his head slowly.
"Uh, I burned myself..."
And Mr. Thompson realized that there was another thing to get angry about.
He directly reached out and pinched Jordan’s ear, causing him to lift a bit, and the pain made Jordan instantly grimace and cry out.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! What is it? What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Would you, this brat, come back if you didn’t have something going on?"
Mr. Thompson knew the moment he saw Jordan that he must be hiding something from him.
"Ow, Grandpa, why do you make me sound so cold-hearted?"
Finally managing to escape from Mr. Thompson’s clutches, Jordan covered his ear, feeling very wronged.
Could today be the day of my torment?
While Mr. Thompson and Jordan were still talking, Charlotte Thompson had already walked over to Justin Battleson’s side.
But before Charlotte could do anything, Justin had already reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Charlotte was startled, but considering they were under Mr. Thompson’s watchful eye, she inevitably tried to break free.
However, Justin wasn’t about to give her the chance, holding Charlotte tightly and resting his chin on her shoulder.
"Justin... my grandfather is right here," Charlotte muttered softly.
"Hey, let me go!"
Originally silent, Jonathan Thompson finally couldn’t help but speak up, stepping forward and immediately separating Justin and Charlotte.
"Public displays of affection – what kind of behavior is this?" Jonathan said very dissatisfied, "Even if Grandpa has accepted you now, you still can’t get past me."
Justin looked at the enraged Jonathan indifferently: "So, what do you want to do, seventh brother?"
Although Jonathan was younger than Justin, Justin was willing to go along with Charlotte’s form of address.
But such address also seemed to have pleased Jonathan somewhat: "Don’t think that by calling me seventh brother I’ll go easy on you."
Then he flexed his wrists and pointed towards the courtyard with a rather obvious meaning.
"This..."
Justin choked a bit, as he didn’t expect that Jonathan still hadn’t given up on the idea of giving him a beating.
This made Justin involuntarily turn to look at Charlotte, seeking her opinion.
But Jonathan raised his hand, denying Justin and Charlotte the chance to exchange glances.
"Let me tell you, Charlotte will definitely take my side, just wait to be beaten up by me."
Seeing this, Charlotte also felt a bit speechless and stretched out her hand to press down on Jonathan’s arm.
"Seventh brother..."
Then Charlotte looked towards Justin, "Please, be gentle."
Clearly, this sentence was addressed to Justin, but Jonathan misunderstood.
"Don’t worry, Charlotte."
After speaking, Jonathan reared up to go outside with a gung-ho attitude.
Charlotte pressed her brow, contemplating whether to keep an eye on them from a distance when James Thompson had already come down the stairs with the children.
"Mommy!"
The little ones, seeing Charlotte standing alone in the living room, immediately ran towards her.
Grace Thompson grabbed Charlotte’s arm, then looked around and finally revealed a look of surprise: "No way."
