Chapter 292 - 292: The Phillips Family’s Courtyard
In the shopping mall.
Connor stood in front of the mirror and admired himself carefully. Then, he nodded in satisfaction. However, the price of this suit was a little too much.
This set of clothes cost 100,000 dollars!
Connor had never worn such expensive clothes before!
“Alright, we’re almost done picking out the clothes. Let’s go to Grandpa’s for dinner!” Freya was also delighted with Connor’s outfit. After looking at her phone, she announced to everyone.
“Alright!” Maya replied casually, then dragged Connor out of the mall.
A few minutes later, Connor, Freya, and Maya left the city and drove toward Phillips Estate.
About half an hour later.
Freya’s car stopped in front of a courtyard house in the suburbs of Phillips Estate.
“Connor, this is my grandfather’s place. We’ve arrived!” After Freya stopped the car, she turned around and smiled at Connor.
“Right!” Connor nodded gently, then pushed open the door and exited the car.
When Connor entered the courtyard, he found that the environment inside the courtyard was tranquil.
Although the gate of the courtyard house looked a little dark, it was a different world inside. The four houses in the courtyard surrounded a courtyard of more than 200 square meters. Coupled with the spacious steps on three sides, the entire courtyard had a total space of nearly 500 square meters.
In the middle of the courtyard were some wooden flower racks. Vases of various shapes were placed on the flower racks. All kinds of strange flowers and plants were blooming. The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers.
“Does this courtyard belong to your grandfather?” After Connor entered the courtyard, he asked Freya in surprise.
“That’s right!” Freya nodded lightly.
“Well? Isn’t it very impressive? I grew up here!” Maya turned to look at Connor and said smugly.
“Haha…” Connor looked at Maya and smiled faintly. He did not say anything and walked straight into the courtyard.
A few minutes later, Connor followed Freya into the courtyard’s hall.
In the quaint hall, there were four mahogany sofas. At this moment, several middle-aged men were sitting on the sofas, chatting and laughing.
“Freya, Maya, Priscilla, there you are!”
At this moment, a silver-haired old man sitting on the sofa called out to Freya and the others with a smile.
“Grandpa, it’s been so long since we last met. Have you missed me?” Maya ran to the old man’s side and said with a smile.
“Hahaha!” When the old man heard Maya’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Then, he said kindly, “Of course, I missed you!”
“That’s more like it!”
Maya had grown up with her grandfather, John Phillips, so her relationship with John was naturally the best.
“Grandpa, this is Freya’s fiance, Connor McDonald!”
Before Freya could say anything, Maya took the initiative to introduce him.
“Connor McDonald?”
When John heard this, he could not help but narrow his eyes and look up at Connor.
At this moment, Connor and Freya were very nervous because they were both worried that John would say something unpleasant. After all, he might not like Connor. If that were the case, it would be awkward.
“Not bad, young man. You look quite good!” John said to Connor with a smile.
“Grandpa John, nice to meet you!” Connor did not expect John to be so amiable, so he politely greeted him.
“Hello, hello!” John nodded gently, then turned to Freya and said, “Freya, Maya, you guys go over there and hang around first. It’s probably dinner time soon. I’ll call you guys when it’s time to eat!”
“Alright!” Freya happily agreed and led Connor into the courtyard.
A moment later, Freya brought Connor, Maya, and Priscilla into a room.
This was because the Phillips Family was large. Not counting John’s siblings, John had four sons and four daughters.
John’s eldest son was called Walter, and Walter had a son called Jake.
Jake was now working in a government unit in Yarlford. Because of his relationship with the Phillips Family, his career was relatively great. His development was much better than the other three generations of the Phillips Family. He was the child that John valued the most.
John’s second son was Sean, and his daughter was Freya.
In fact, Sean had been doing better than the other children of John in the past few years. However, because Sean and Freya’s companies had problems some time ago, Sean’s current situation was difficult.
John’s third son was Sebastian. Sebastian was also running a company now, and the company’s situation was slightly better than Sean’s. As for Sebastian’s son, Zander… he was the worst among the three generations of children. He had no achievements to show besides dining, drinking, and gambling.
John’s fourth son, Simon, was Maya’s father!
Simon was also an official, but he had always been in a state of neither going up nor down. He could only barely make a living!
John had four daughters. Other than Sandra, whom Connor had met before, Sierra, Summer, and Savannah were the other three.
However, because the three lived quite far from Phillips Estate, they had few opportunities to interact with Freya.
In such a big family, everyone seemed to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there were knives hidden behind them!
Just because Freya had found a fiance like Connor, she was already ridiculed by many people behind her back. However, Freya had been used to such things since she was young, so she did not care what others thought.
Connor chatted with the ladies in the room for a while.
“Freya, Maya, dinner’s ready!”
Laura called from outside the room.
“Coming!” Freya replied softly before turning to Connor and saying, “Connor, let’s go!”
“Yeap!” Connor lightly nodded.
Perhaps it was because Connor had already met Freya’s grandfather before, so he was not as nervous as before!
But a few familiar faces appeared just as Connor was about to enter the hall.
“Connor, why are you here?”
When Zander saw Connor, his expression changed instantly as he shouted at him.
Meanwhile, Qahira and Ailee stood beside Zander with a hint of anger in their eyes..
