Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 137 Childhood Memories

Starry soon smiled again and said calmly, "I've got married."

"That's my girl!"

Grandma Dolores glanced at Wyatt and then back at Starry sadly.

The pretty girl couldn't be their granddaughter-in-law anymore.

With that idea in mind, Grandma Dolores got even more angry at her grandson, "She has got married!

And you don't even have a girlfriend!"

Starry put down the cup and said softly, "But then I got divorced, Grandma Dolores."

Then all the people in this room began to focus back on her now.

Grandma Dolores fixed her sympathetic eyes on her, "What happened? Did the bastard bully you?"

Starry shook her head, "We had personality clashes. But his families treated me well."

Then she smiled and added, "An early marriage doesn't necessarily mean happiness. It's just… Wyatt

hasn't met the right one."

She also solved Wyatt's problem for him.

Wyatt raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you hear Starry's words, Grandma?"

"She is right. But you refuse to get to know girls. I'm now wondering whether you will get married in the

end or not."

Wyatt leaned back on the sofa and said with his eyes fixed on Starry, "I get to know her."

Starry was stunned a bit. She didn't expect Wyatt to mention her so she said instantly, "We just get to

know each other through our commercial cooperation, Mr. Matthews."

Grandma Dolores laughed loudly, "Now even Starry isn't on your side. And don't call him Mr. Matthews,

Starry. He is a little elder than you and you can just call him Wyatt."

"Mr… Wyatt is indeed a capable person," Starry said a bit embarrassedly.

Grandma Dolores asked a few more questions to Starry. After knowing that her grandma had passed

away a few years ago, Grandma Dolores sighed, "Life is not easy for you, Starry."

After a long chat, the sun was about to set. Grandma Dolores offered to treat Starry with dinner and

then began to prepare the dinner in the kitchen. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Grandpa Stephen put a set of chess onto the table, "Do you play chess?"

"You've taught me how to play."

She learned how to play chess from Grandpa Stephen.

But she hadn't played chess after she moved out. And that's why she didn't perform well when playing

chess with Frances.

"I remember that," Grandpa Stephen smiled, "Then let's get started."

"Then what about me?" asked Wyatt.

"Go to help your grandma in the kitchen."

Wyatt was driven to the kitchen and Starry started a game with Grandpa Stephen.

"You made great progress."

The game took them half an hour and Starry lost in the end.

Grandpa Stephen pulled his glassed up his nose, "You used to lose a game within two minutes."

Starry said awkwardly, "You are a competent chess player, Grandpa Stephen."

Grandpa Stephen was a professional chess player when he was young. Starry did make great

progress for it took Grandpa Stephen 30 minutes to win the game.

"You play better than Wyatt."

While they were talking, Wyatt came out with a plate in his hand, "You might have underestimated me,

grandpa."

Grandpa Stephen said smilingly, "Then you could play with her after dinner."

"Dinner first!" Grandma Dolores came out with a plate of fish and Starry had her hands washed in the

kitchen with the walking sick in hand.

After the dinner, Starry started another game of chess with Wyatt.

After a while, Starry got a narrow victory and Wyatt laughed, "You're right, grandpa."

While saying, "It's late now. I think Starry should have a rest in her home. She had spent the whole

afternoon with you."

It was not quite late actually. But Starry knew the old couple should have an early rest. Then she said

goodbye to Wyatt's grandparents.

Though she lived just next door, Grandma Dolores still asked Wyatt to accompany her because of her

leg problem.

Before Starry could say anything, Wyatt opened his mouth first, "I'll, grandma."

Starry looked at him and it seemed that Wyatt got something to say. Then she nodded.

As they got outside, Wyatt took out the fireworks they bought, "Do you still want to set them off?"

Starry had almost forgot the fireworks. As Wyatt took them out, she smiled, "I'm surprised you still

remember them."

Wyatt raised his eyebrows, "We can set them off in the backyard."

"Okay."

Children were still playing downstairs but the backyard of her house was so quiet.

It was still snowing heavily and Wyatt cleared her ground for her.

He took out a lighter and gave the fireworks to her, "I'll fire them for you."

With the walking stick in her one hand, Starry held the firework, which shaped like a fairy wand, in the

other.

Wyatt squatted before her and lit the firework.

He then lit another one and held it in his hand.

"I didn't know you're also from Finas City."

Starry looked at him, "I haven't been here for almost ten years."

Her parents had passed away and she had no idea what to do here.

When her grandma passed away, she moved her parent's graves to bury them beside her grandma.

Wyatt looked at her, "We knew each other when we were kids."

"Really?"

She had forgot what happened years ago.

The "fairy wand" in her hand had extinguished. Starry took another out.

This time she didn't ask Wyatt to light it for her. She took the lighter and lit it, "I was a naughty girl.

Once I almost fired my house when playing fireworks at home."

Wyatt looked at her, "I didn't know that."

"That's true. I had almost broken your grandpa's pen. And the gold fish he kept died accidentally

because of me."

Today with the presence of someone in her childhood memory, Starry really wanted to talk.

Starry smiled as the image of how naughty she was when she was a child was still vivid in her mind.

She indeed changed a lot.

The "fairy wand" in her hand extinguished again and she was pulled back to the conversation, "When

did we meet?"

"Before you entered the elementary school."

One year his mother dreamed of his grandma having a car accident. She felt worried about his

grandma's safety and got back to Finas City with her son with her.

He was a pupil then and it was during his summer holiday.

The day when his mother and he arrived his grandma's house, they found the door was not locked.

Then he pushed the door and got in.

The moment he got inside, he found a little girl siting on the sofa eating an ice cream.

While eating, she was writing something on a card. The ice cream soon melted and flowed onto her

hands. Her hands and the card soon became sticky.

Then the girl saw him. she twinkled her eyes and stood up to ask who he was and whether he was a

bad guy or not.

By then Starry's face looked quite plump and round, her eyes as big as grapes. Everyone seeing her

would like to pinch her lovely face.
