Chapter 191 Not Called Anyone "Dad" for Many Years
"Donovan, you…" Paisley exclaimed as she held a hand up to her cheek.
Paisley knew Donovan truly loved his grandfather, but she never expected him to hit her.
"Get lost! Also, you will move out of the house in JN Community. Have the keys dropped off at my office."
Humiliated, Paisley left.
Paisley angrily stomped back to the car.
"How did it go?" Barbara eagerly asked.
Paisley gave Barbara a slap that was even harder than the one Donovan gave her.
Paisley was a star, yet she was actually slapped by Donovan. Her assistant, the one who gave her bad suggestions, should also be slapped!
Barbara's face burned. She covered her cheek with one hand while her teeth dug into her lower lip as tears of humiliation streamed down her cheeks.
"You came up with a bad idea!" Paisley said to Barbara. "Are you a spy from Chloe who's trying to ruin me?"
"No!" Barbara's voice was soft yet extremely certain.
"You better not be! Otherwise, I'll make you regret it! Your bonus for the money is gone unless you come up with a way to make Chloe and Donovan get a divorce immediately!" After that, Paisley crossed her arms.
Barbara's heart grew cold as she thought to herself, 'When that happens, not only Chloe will be done for, but also Paisley!'
...
Chloe helped Donovan's grandfather back to his room.
Donovan glanced into the room before returning to the living room.
He had known long ago about the few times his grandfather put on a show, but he was genuinely worried about his grandfather's health.
Donovan lit a cigarette.
In the room of Donovan's grandfather.
"Chloe, how was my acting?" Donovan's grandfather asked Chloe.
"Grandpa, you..." Chloe's heart almost jumped out of her throat just now from the fear that something bad might happen to him.
"I was part of the school drama club when I was a student. Just now, I deliberately provoked Donovan's anger to make him fight with Paisley so that Paisley would stop her repeated attempts to break up your marriage. She even sees herself as the mistress of this house."
Chloe was speechless.
"However, Chloe," he continued, suddenly serious, "Donovan never told me about his cornea transplant. He was probably afraid that my wife and I would worry. That boy always keeps to himself, never telling us anything. You have to be more accommodating and look out for him."
"I know," Chloe said.
She felt that despite Donovan's grandfather's forced attempts at smiling, she could visibly sense what was going on. 'His health is getting worse.'
After all, he had lung cancer.
"Also," he said, turning to take out a small notebook from the bedside drawer, "this is the contact information of Donovan's parents. Call them. Make them come back. They can't just ignore me since I'm the father. Even if Donovan doesn't want them back, they should come back to visit me."
"Donovan wouldn't let them return." Chloe thought to herself, 'Donovan really liked to have control over everything.'
He even had control over his parents.
At the thought that Donovan's grandfather could also sense his deteriorating health, Chloe felt sad.
Chloe looked down. Witten on the book were Gordon and Clara's overseas phone numbers.
"Doesn't Donovan know their numbers?" Chloe asked.
"Donovan doesn't want to know, so don't mention it." He waved his hand. "The past is the past. Even if Donovan doesn't want them back, my body probably won't hold up for long."
"Should I call them now?" Chloe asked.
Tears were already shimmering in her eyes.
"Go ahead. Donovan will never make the call. If I call them, they won't come back. They are too embarrassed to look at me in the eye," he stated.
Chloe dialed Gordon's number. As the phone rang, Chloe felt nervous.
Soon, someone answered the phone.
"Hello." The voice on the other end was pleasant and belonged to a man.
"Hello." Chloe suddenly did not know how to introduce herself. "I'm Donovan's wife, Chloe, and also your daughter-in-law. Probably. Hi, Dad."
Chloe had not called anyone "Dad" for many years.
