Thomas laughed heartily. "Great-grandpa is already so old. How can I still grow taller? If I did grow any more, I'd turn into a monster."Lucas sat on Thomas' lap and touched his arm. "Great-grandpa, you're too thin. You need to eat more."Thomas, after hearing what Lucas said, smiled even more happily and hugged the children tightly with both hands."Oh dear, you two little ones are so smart. You know that eating well helps you grow taller and stronger. Great-grandpa doesn't want to turn into a monster, but I'm already too old to grow taller. I'll just have to wait for you two to grow up."Joe pushed the lunch box forward again. Since Thomas didn't want to give in, he set his sights on the children instead. "Mr. Lucas and Ms. Layla, would you two like to join your great-grandpa for a meal?"With a small grin, Layla said, "Of course! I like Great-grandpa the most."Joe smoothly opened the lunchbox and placed the dishes on the table one by one, then took out the utensils.Lucas w

As people aged, they often wanted their children and grandchildren to stay close by. However, Thomas wasn't that stubborn. As long as his children did well, he didn't mind much. He indeed wanted Thaddeus to go to Hajera with Jessamine, and it was also true that he felt a bit upset about it.Thaddeus wasn't stupid. Of course, he could see what Thomas was thinking. The older people got, the more they became like children in some ways, and he could tell that Thomas held back his true feelings."Grandpa, you can come with me to Hajera. I've told you before that I've bought an apartment there. It's a big, waterfront place. The air quality in the south is also better for your health, making it a good place for you to recuperate."When he recalled what Thaddeus had said last time, Thomas finally understood what Thaddeus meant when he said Thomas also had relatives in Hajera. It turned out there was a deeper meaning behind his words.Thomas turned his head away from the children in his arm

Noah didn't stay in the hospital room for long, as the children made him feel uncomfortable. He was feeling insanely jealous."Dad, since you have someone with you, I'll go take care of my things. Call me if you need anything," Noah said.Thomas waved his hand. "Go ahead. There's nothing much going on here."All he needed now was to see his precious great-grandchildren nearby. Everyone else was an unnecessary presence.After Thomas finished speaking, Noah gave Jessamine a meaningful look and then turned and left.He had just left when Thaddeus followed him out. Noah stopped at the elevator. He had heard the footsteps behind him but chose to ignore them.It was a firm decision for him to take Jessamine away, and others' opinions would only annoy him and wouldn't change his mind.The elevator doors opened, and Thaddeus asked in a cool, detached tone, "Want to chat for a bit?"Noah adjusted his glasses, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. "Is there really a need to chat?

When Thaddeus emerged from the stairwell, Jessamine was standing at the hospital room's entrance making a call. She sensed that the atmosphere inside the room earlier was tense.After Thaddeus and Noah came out, she endured for a few minutes before making a random excuse to follow after them.Thaddeus' phone rang in the hallway. Jessamine looked up and their eyes met."Are you okay?""Worried about me?"They spoke almost simultaneously.In the next second, Thaddeus smiled faintly."I'm fine. Let's go inside."Seeing the worried look on Jessamine's face, Thaddeus felt quite pleased. It inevitably reminded him of the conversation he had just had with Noah. Noah never stood a chance. Even if he genuinely liked Jessamine, he never stood a chance, especially since he saw her only as a substitute.Thaddeus' cold demeanor suddenly dissipated. He walked over with long strides and naturally wrapped his arm around her slender waist."Let's go in. Grandpa might get suspicious later."

Jessamine's question instantly made the atmosphere in the car tense.She couldn't help but glance at Thaddeus, who was in the driver's seat. They were at a red light, and he was staring straight ahead. His face was expressionless as he gripped the steering wheel. There was no way to tell what he was thinking.After a moment, Xander replied on the other end of the line, "Well, it really depends on the person. You know our family—we're not snobs. So, whether your future partner is poor or ugly, as long as you like them, I won't oppose it. But there's one thing to remember: he must have good character and absolutely cannot have the last name Holt!"Xander's last words made Jessamine uneasy. She was just about to bring up Thaddeus, but Xander's firm tone made her swallow her words.So, she decided to hold off on mentioning Thaddeus for now. Instead, she thought it would be better to let the Pattons get to know him more before making any further moves."Okay, Xander. Layla's sleepy, so
