Chapter 770: Stubborn Old Man and Good Child
"Luke, I’m very worried about Grandpa. Mom and Dad aren’t here, so you’re the only one I can call," said Joseph.
Luke hummed and said, "I’ll call him right away. Don’t worry." He then hung up.
Although Joseph was young, he was quite smart.
While chatting with Luke, Catherine had mentioned before that Joseph’s IQ might very likely meet MENSA’s requirements.
Robert and Catherine were still in Europe, and Luke and Claire were in Los Angeles.
Joseph easily determined that the best person to ask for help was Luke.
Luke didn’t dare treat his little brother’s words lightly. He immediately called Drax, but the line was busy.
He frowned and said, "Redial the number." He then put the phone on the dashboard.
A minute later, Drax’s phone was still busy.
Selina took out her phone. "I have Ferreira’s number. I’ll call him."
Luke hummed in acknowledgment.
Ferreira, the vet at the ranch, had worked with Selina’s father for many years.
Joseph had said that Ferreira was in Dallas as well, so he could confirm the situation by contacting Ferreira.
Ferreira quickly picked up.
After saying a few words, Selina put her phone on speaker.
Sure enough, Ferreira was on his way to pick up Joseph, but he didn’t know why Drax was so angry.
Luke simply told him to get to Drax as soon as possible and make sure that he could get through to his bad-tempered grandfather.
Even Robert remained at a distance when Drax’s temper was bad; one could imagine how hard it was to persuade him.
Drax was born with a bad temper, and it was hard for him to keep it under control. If he stayed with his daughter Catherine, he would definitely argue with Robert every day, which would make things difficult for his daughter and grandkids.
Catherine understood his thinking. When they were free, she would take the three kids to spend the weekend on the ranch, so Drax was content to stay on the ranch.
In the old man’s words, he was used to working on the ranch and didn’t need to retire in Shackelford.
Drax was in good health, and there were also roughly ten workers on the ranch; there was no need to worry that they wouldn’t get the news if something happened.
However, the stubborn old man had a weakness.
He had always been biased toward Luke since he was young and rarely scolded him.
And he completely doted on Claire and Joseph.
If it wasn’t because Claire and Joseph only spent the weekend at the ranch, this stubborn old man would’ve spoiled them to death.
For example, it was definitely Joseph’s idea to watch the motorcycle stunt show in Dallas. Otherwise, Drax wouldn’t be interested in watching such a show when he was already in his seventies.
A few minutes later, Luke finally got through to Drax’s phone.
He barely said a few words before he could only helplessly listen to the beeping on his phone.
The stubborn old man had gotten flustered at Luke’s words and directly hung up.
Selina asked, "Should I help you apply for leave?"
Luke sighed. "I’ll let Elsa know myself. I ran out of leave long ago."
If this had happened two days earlier, he could’ve taken the weekend off without any qualms.
