Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love -
Chapter 166 Name
Doris was in a bad mood. She sat on the backseat of the taxi and stared blankly outside.
Landon was about to die, so she decided to pay him a visit. But how could she face Jennie who didn't like her?
Finally, the taxi driver announced, "Beautiful lady, we have arrived at our destination."
"Thank you." After paying, she immediately alighted from the car.
She went straight to the nurse's station and asked for Landon's room number. With a basket of fruit and a bunch of flowers in her hand, she found her way to Landon's room. She was right. Jay didn't want her to come. Landon liked Doris, but Jay knew that his mother didn't like her.
It would only make their relationship worse if she came.
Therefore, every time Landon asked to see Doris, Jay always came up with excuses.
"Grandpa, Doris is pregnant now. She is suffering from some symptoms and she can't even get out of bed. That's why she can't come here," explained Jay.
To Landon, the child was the most important, so he didn't force Doris to come anymore. "Do everything according to my testament."
"Okay, we will do as you ordered," whispered Jay.
"Will Sarah come back to say goodbye to me?" As an old man who was in the brink of death, he wished nothing but reconciliation.
"I've called her. She will try to come back as soon as possible." This time, Jay was telling the truth.
Sadness crossed Landon's eyes. He heaved a sigh. "I miss her."
"Call her now," Eric butted in.
"Don't rush her. Just wait until she arrives," sighed Landon.
"Okay," Jay answered, holding the old man's hand.
"Jay, I know you are ambitious and bold. Treat Doris well. I like that girl. I know you love her, too." Even though his voice was weak, he still reminded Jay.
There was a devious glint in Jay's eyes. After a short hesitation, he replied, "Yes, grandpa."
"Doris, Doris..." Landon was the first person to notice Doris who was standing at the doorway. He reached out and tried to sit up.
With his reaction, Jay turned his gaze to where his grandfather was looking at. There he found Doris holding a fruit basket and a bunch of flowers in her arms.
'Is she really here?' he thought.
Startled by her sudden appearance, Jay asked, "What brings you here, Doris?"
"I came here to see grandpa," she replied nonchalantly, rooted to where she was standing.
"Doris, come here." With the help of Jennie and Eric, Landon sat up. He glanced at Doris with a smile. "It's very kind of you. I will now be having a great grandson. Thank you, Doris. This is the most precious gift I have received at the last moment of my life!"
Afraid that Doris would uncover the truth, Jay hurriedly held her arm. "Are you feeling better?"
Although Doris didn't understand what was going on, it was easy for her to answer his question.
"Yes, I'm feeling better now," said Doris.
"You are such a filial girl. You haven't forgotten to visit me even though you are pregnant. I've already decided names for my grandchildren. If it's a boy, it's Albert; if it's a girl, it's Becky." Landon was livelier now Perhaps, it was because Doris dropped by to visit him.
Pregnant?
Doris sneered in her mind, 'Well, it seems that Jay is so good at making things up. He is a better liar than me!'
Jay's smiling eyes swept over her.
To avoid the awkwardness, she put the fruit and flowers on the bedside table before she answered, "Grandpa, I like them both."
"Well, that's good." He pointed at the folder on table and said, "Bring that to me."
But Jay didn't move an inch. He knew what was inside the folder. His parents were present. If his grandfather decided to transfer the fund to Doris, his parents would be more displeased to her.
The so-called pregnancy of Doris was just his way to comfort Landon.
"Give it to me!" Landon repeated, with his forehead creased.
"Yes, father." Not daring to disobey his father's wishes, Eric took the folder over despite of the dissuasion in Jennie's eyes.
With trembling hands, he opened the folder and took out an envelope from it.
"Doris, here are some contracts for transferring of fund. It's a gift for my dear great grandchild. It's my way of showing my love for it." Landon took the pen and signed the contract. "Doris, sign this. Come on." Doris was interested in the fund and stock, because she thought she had to own at least half of the shares of the family.
However, she couldn't accept it directly, because Jay didn't want her to take it at all.
"Grandpa, I don't know much about business. Leave it to Jay. After all, he is the father of the child. Giving it to him is just like giving it to me." Her tender reply made everyone happy except Landon. "How could you say that? I asked you to keep it for the baby, but it is also for you. If you don't sign it, Grandpa will be angry." Disappointed with her answer, he scowled at her.
"But, grandpa..." Doris wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
"Mr. Zhang, put her name on my will," Landon ordered his lawyer.
"Doris, do as grandpa said. Write your name on it now!" Jennie couldn't stand it any longer. The fortune mentioned in the will was not a joke and she couldn't allow Doris, an outsider's name, appear on it. "Write your name on it, Doris." Bitterness laced in Eric's voice.
Torn, she looked at Jay who pressed his lips in anger and forbearance.
"What do you think, Jay?" She didn't want Jay to get angry with her, so she didn't want the money.
"You can just take it. It's grandpa's gift for our baby," said Jay in a very gentle voice.
"All right," Doris agreed, reluctantly.
She took over the pen and signed her name on it.
Landon smiled in satisfaction. "Jay, Doris."
They both stood in front of Landon and called him at the same time, "Grandpa."
He took Doris' and Jay' hands and put them together.
"Be nice to each other."
"Yes."
"Yes."
They answered at the same time.
"Then I can be rest assured." As if on cue, his hand dropped on his side and he fell into a coma again.
The ward was in chaos.
"You go back first!" Jay's voice was stern when he asked Doris to leave.
"Go! Don't make anymore trouble here." Abomination was obvious in her eyes when Jennie stared at the document in Doris' hand.
She knew that Doris' purpose of coming here was to get money from Landon!
The most critical point was that she got the fund and stock of several companies. With this amount, Doris would be rich and glorious for a lifetime.
This was intolerable for Jennie and Eric!
