Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 329: Still Waiting to Hold a Great-Grandchild

Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Still Waiting to Hold a Great-Grandchild

As they spoke, suddenly a flurry of footsteps could be heard outside the door.

The servant rushed in excitedly, "Master Shaw, the young master, the second master, and the Young Madam have returned."

Liam Shaw and Adrian Shaw turned their heads toward the door, just in time to see Adrian Holt returning with Serena Summers.

There were also two men with sullen expressions following behind them, looking fierce and formidable as if someone owed them millions.

Liam Shaw chuckled and greeted, "President Selwyn, Mr. Carter."

Edward Selwyn and Vincent Carter glared coldly at Adrian Holt and then nodded towards Liam Shaw in response.

Liam Shaw didn’t take their attitude to heart and turned to Adrian Holt and Serena Summers, "Good to see you back. We’ve been trying to call you and couldn’t get through. Grandfather has been worried about you."

Noticing the concern and tension in his eyes, Adrian Holt felt his heart wrapped in a warm embrace.

This feeling of being carefully treated and cherished was something he had never experienced before.

A touch of sourness rose in his heart, but it was quickly pushed back down, and his thin lips curved into a faint smile, "The phone was off on the plane."

Whether before his amnesia or after, he was never good at expressing himself; even moved, he remained composed on the surface.

Fortunately, the Shaw family knew his temper well and didn’t take it to heart.

Master Shaw nodded with satisfaction, "Good to have you back. Please, sit down. Liam has something to discuss with you all."

Upon hearing Master Shaw, Serena Summers and Adrian Holt realized that the atmosphere at home was somewhat heavy, especially Adrian Shaw, whose face was as gloomy as if covered with dark clouds.

Thinking of the anxious tone in Minister Ray’s phone call, Serena couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

She had considered that someone might target Master Shaw or Liam Shaw, but it never crossed her mind that Adrian Shaw would be the one nearly kidnapped.

Master Shaw was the pillar of the Shaw family, and Liam Shaw was now in control of the entire Shaw Group. If anything happened to either of them, the Shaw family would be thrown into complete disarray.

Adrian Shaw, holding a cushion, showed a face full of grievance, "They only pick on the soft targets, just bullying me, the vulnerable group!"

"Vulnerable group? More like the ’dim-witted group’," Liam Shaw teased.

Mocked by his own older brother, Adrian Shaw felt as if his heart was being stabbed repeatedly, nearly spitting out blood in frustration.

"Grandfather, second brother, look at big brother – he’s calling me dim-witted!"

Adrian Holt glanced over indifferently, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, "Aren’t you? How come everyone else is fine, but the moment you step out, you get kidnapped?"

Adrian Shaw: "..."

No love left!

Master Shaw couldn’t help but laugh out loud as well, but after the laughter, he spoke seriously, "Let’s talk business. If it weren’t for Serena, Adrian might have been taken away." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Although his grandson could be a bit naive at times, he rarely offended anyone.

If someone dared to take action in S city, it indicated that their power was strong enough to confront the Shaw family.

Although the Shaw family had deep roots, they were no match for the hidden wealthy families and their longstanding power.

The enemy was in the shadows while they were in the light; they had no inkling of the true extent of the opposing force and had no way to strike back even in retaliation.

"I guess their people got caught, so they wanted to take revenge on me. Let me handle this matter, grandfather," he said.

"Serena, those people are lunatics. From now on, you must never go out alone again. Let Adrian stay with you at all times for your personal protection."

Master Shaw had long regarded Serena Summers as his own granddaughter, and had she not married into the Shaw family, she would not have suffered so much.

Serena wanted to say she was fine, but suddenly, a warm hand unexpectedly took hold of her fingers.

She turned her head to see Adrian Holt shaking his head at her, then turned to Master Shaw and said, "Grandfather, don’t worry, I will take good care of Serena."

Assured by Adrian Holt’s promise, Master Shaw finally eased his mind, the solemn look on his face lightening slightly, "You two need to live a good life, otherwise I won’t be able to rest in peace even in death."

"Grandfather, don’t talk nonsense."

"Grandfather, don’t speak such inauspicious words, with me here you will surely live a long and prosperous life."

When he learned of Lucas Shaw’s presumed death at sea two years ago, Master Shaw had fainted on the spot.

After an emotional rollercoaster, his health declined significantly, and even though Serena was doing her best to nurse him, Master Shaw’s illness was mainly in his heart.

Luckily, Lucas Shaw has now returned. Although he has amnesia, it’s most important that he is alive.

Seeing Master Shaw’s worries gradually dissipate and his health improving, they as the younger generation were also pleased.

But the sudden mention of such words made everyone’s heart clench.

Master Shaw waved his hand with a smile, "Enough of that, I’m still waiting to see my great-grandson."

All eyes fell on Serena Summers and Adrian Holt, with a hint of teasing in their looks.

Serena’s cheeks suddenly reddened, and she didn’t dare meet Adrian’s gaze.

"Grandfather, you should go back to your room and rest. I’ll check on you later and adjust your prescription," Serena advised.

The housekeeper immediately stepped forward to help Master Shaw up from the couch and took him upstairs to rest.

After the old master left, Liam Shaw asked, "Serena, how did you come to know Minister Ray?"

"He just happened to owe me a favor, and I suspected these people wouldn’t let things go, so I asked him for a little help."

Serena didn’t mention the surgery she had performed for the CEO of Country C, having promised Dean Carter that the matter would remain confidential.

Luckily, Liam Shaw didn’t ask further, only nodding faintly, "Thanks to Serena, otherwise Adrian would have surely been in great danger this time."

Adrian Shaw nodded emphatically, "Exactly, those people are just too despicable! To think they even dared to capture me!"

"And you’re to blame! How many times have I told you to do more physical training, but you always refuse to listen. Are you regretting it now?" Liam Shaw mocked with a cold laugh.

Adrian Shaw blinked guiltily, not daring to talk back.

Edward Selwyn and Vincent Carter hadn’t said a word throughout the whole time, their expressions slightly improved compared to when they first arrived, but still a bit grim.

They had previously agreed that Serena would stay in the Imperial Capital for a few more days, but then the Shaw family encountered trouble at this critical juncture.

Serena’s whole heart was invested in the Shaw family, and upon hearing the Shaw family was in trouble, she rushed back without stopping.

Typically, forgetting the pain once the wound has healed.

They didn’t oppose Serena being with Adrian Holt, but they didn’t want her to sacrifice everything for the Shaw family.

But this silly girl seemed to be bewitched, as if she couldn’t wait to throw her whole heart into Adrian’s arms.

Before coming here, Edward Selwyn had pulled Serena aside to ask about Adrian Holt.

But the girl talked in circles, refusing to tell him the truth, which infuriated him greatly.
