Chapter 565

May was quick-witted. Not wanting to miss out on such a good opportunity, she quickly went forward
and bowed politely to the old men.

“My name is May. I’m really good at all sorts of chores, such as laundry, sweeping, watering the plants,
and cooking. I know it all!”

Wayne and Mendoza were still refusing the offer when Sage said, “This young lady is great at cooking,
and she can even sing. Show them what you got, May.” May nodded promptly and cleared her throat.
“Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high…” Wayne and Mendoza’s eyes sparkled upon hearing her
voice, and they both applauded.

“What a great voice you have there!”

Mendoza smiled and asked May, “Young lady, who taught you to sing?”

“My mother’s cousin’s aunt’s husband was a well-known singer. When he retired back home, my mom
and I took care of him for a short while. He was the one who taught me how to sing,”

Simon heard the voice and came outside to check it out, “Is Carl Freeman the well-known singer you
mentioned by any chance? Master Carl?”

May nodded and confirmed, “Yes, that’s him! How well do you know Master Carl, sir?”

The three old men exchanged a knowing gaze and said, “Very well!”

Mendoza was touched. “I can’t believe I get to meet Carl’s disciple in my lifetime. How is that old man
doing? Still alive?”



May shook her head and said dejectedly, “Master Carl passed away from an illness two years

ago.”

The three old men fell into a brief silence.

Mendoza broke the silence, “Alright, I’ve decided to have May stay with us. What else can you sing,
May?”

May laughed and replied, “I know plenty…”

Wayne looked over at Sage who was standing by the window still, and asked, “Did you bring May to us
because you knew about her history with Carl?”



Sage smiled and said, “No, that’s purely coincidence. You used to sing that song pretty often, and May,
too, knew how to sing. It’s all just a pleasant coincidence.”

Wayne scrunched his nose and suppressed his urge to roll his eyes at Sage as he thought to himself,
‘Right, you’re definitely telling the truth.’ Wayne knew his granddaughter. She was just as sly as her
father. Simon let out a comforting sigh and said to Sage, “That’s very thoughtful of you, Sage.”

How he wished to have a good kid like Sage as his granddaughter.

She was so much better and more capable than his own eldest grandson.

It would be an endless competition if he started comparing the two. Sage let out a sigh of relief after
she successfully delivered both the money and May. She sighed lightly in the car. “It’s not easy taking
care of that stubborn grandpa of mine. You did great this time.”



Hunter was relieved upon hearing that.

“What a rare compliment coming from you, Miss Sage.” Sage glared coldly at him and said, “Who’s
complimenting you now? If I find out that you ever make Leah sad again, you’re out. I’ll find her a new
candidate for a husband.”

“Please, don’t. It’s my fault. I’ll never do that ever again!” Hunter begged wholeheartedly.

He made a thoughtless mistake once, and the two sisters decided to punish him for it. He would never
dare to make another mistake ever again.

They stopped by the Looming District to pick up the luggage. Upon stepping into the house, Laura
pounced onto Sage and exclaimed, “Bring me with you!”

Sage was stunned. She looked up and saw Kane standing not far away from them and gesturing with
his eyes as if he was trying to tell Sage, “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!”
