SWNOVELS Chapter 340 Jimmy is Fine
He noticed what Grandma had just said. The reason she came was probably because Jimmy called her. But why would Jimmy call Grandma and bring her here? Was it just to help him win Silvia back? But didn't he realize that the more he did this, the more distant Silvia might become from him?
"Never mind, I won't talk about these things with you. You're not as sensible as Jimmy. How's Jimmy been lately? He sounded very lively when he called me. He must have gotten over the past. I wonder what happened to make such a big change in him. I used to worry a lot, thinking about how you two would get along."
Grandma's concern wasn't unfounded. When Jimmy's father passed away, he used to be very hostile towards anyone, especially Miles, because he resembled his father so much. But Miles insisted on taking care of Jimmy, and over the years, something changed. Grandma had been unwell for some time and had been in the hospital. Now that she was better, she had time to come and check on them. She was worried about their situation. If they kept clashing, who knew what would happen?
"Jimmy's doing fine lately. But have you noticed his change is because of a girl he likes? Jimmy really likes her, and under her influence, he's become more cheerful. But don't you think your sudden visit might cause me some trouble? If you're here, it might push Silvia further away. She might think I'm pressuring her. After all, I haven't won her back yet. By pulling this stunt, I don't know how to face her."
His relationship with Silvia was delicate. It wasn't clear what it was, and just getting them to meet was a challenge. Grandma's arrival only made it more complicated.
When Grandma was younger, she was very impulsive. If she wanted something, she made sure to get it. If she wanted to change something between him and Silvia, Miles worried about what she might do. But Grandma didn't react much to his concerns. In fact, she seemed a bit annoyed. Miles knew that his presence here wasn't appropriate, especially if nothing had developed between him and Silvia. His decision to come was mainly to check on Jimmy's condition. If Jimmy wasn't doing well, he planned to take him back to take care of him for a while.
"You two sort out your own matters. I didn't come here for you two. I'm just worried about Jimmy. But if you want me to meet that girl, I can. I'm thankful to her. If it wasn't for her, Jimmy wouldn't be feeling better now. You haven't considered thanking her. Did Jimmy change like this all because of you?"
Grandma's words made sense. Miles had considered it before but couldn't move forward with Silvia. If he tried to take her out now, she might suspect his intentions. Miles couldn't say much with Grandma around. He asked where she was, intending to meet her first before discussing further. When he returned home, Jimmy was already there.
Originally, Jimmy was supposed to stay at school until the end of the day, but Grandma missed him too much. She had the butler call the school and request a leave for Jimmy. Now that Jimmy was back, Cyril understood Grandma's concern, although he didn't say anything. His brother's departure had a big impact on both of them.
"Your health looks much better now. But has your dad won that person over yet? By the way, can you tell me who she is? I worry about doing something that might upset her. I've never seen your dad act this way before."
Grandma and Jimmy didn't notice that Miles had returned. They chatted about what had happened with Cyril. When Silvia was mentioned, they spoke highly of her. Grandma seemed to understand a bit more after hearing everything.
"Don't talk behind my back about me and Silvia. Jimmy, if I were to say the same about you, it would be rude."
Cyril suddenly spoke up, surprising them both. Jimmy stayed quiet. Grandma was a bit displeased. They weren't talking badly about anyone; she was just curious about the girl. But Cyril acted as if they had done something wrong.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. You look so nervous. If you're really worried about her, why didn't you win her over earlier and keep her close? Now that your son has a few nice words for her, you're not happy. Even when it's praise, you're still unhappy. I understand what you're thinking."
