Jonathan's dark eyes lifted, flashing a hint of helplessness. "Isn't it terrible to pursue someone so young?"
"No."
Angela was so young, even younger than Christopher Sanders. She was still a child.
He was so many years older than her. Thus, wouldn't it be terrible to pursue someone so young?
Bruce's eyebrows twitched, and he snorted. "I don't believe what you're saying. Sebastian, you tell me.
Well"
Although Sebastian knew Bruce was eager to have a great-grandson, Angela and Jonathan really didn't have that kind of relationship.
He quickly shook his head and waved his hands. "Master, Miss Kins is indeed not Master Jonathan's girlfriend. She..."
Before he could finish, Bruce interrupted him with a mutter, "Not now, but who knows about the future."
Sebastian was speechless.
Jonathan remained composed and spoke sparingly. In the face of his grandfather's ramblings, he not to offer any explanation.
chose
Sebastian, however, found himself bewildered by thoughts he had never considered before. Observing Jonathan's silence, he started to piece things together.
Angela might be young, but she's an adult in this relationship. Jonathan, though experienced in navigating the complexities of an age-gap relationship, knows how to value people, he mused. Sebastian then caught on, flashed a smile, and spoke. "Master, Miss Kins is the doctor attending to Master Jonathan. Thanks to her, his health has improved. She's here today to deliver medicinal meals,"
Bruce's eyes lit up with intense interest. "A doctor? Even better, she's a perfect match for Jon."
Sebastian hesitated briefly, Bruce's enthusiasm left no room for questions, and he didn't even inquire about Angela herself. It was evident why Bruce was so eager as there had never been another woman around Jonathan who gained entry to the house. Besides Carrie, it seemed only Angela held that privilege.
Over the years, Jonathan had shown no interest in love and marriage, as if he had never considered it. Not to mention Bruce, who was also anxious.
However, Jonathan's health was more serious than before, so he didn't have time to manage that aspect.
But if Bruce knew that Angela was once Christopher's fiancée....
"Grandfather, Angela is not..." Jonathan, seeing Sebastian being pressured by Bruce and unable to speak, finally opened his mouth, trying to explain. Bruce playfully slapped his shoulder. "Good boy, you even call Angela by her name, yet you still deny she's.

your girlfriend. I've watched you grow up for over twenty years, and I've never seen you call a girl so intimately."
Jonathan's indifferent expression finally showed a crack. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found there were too many words to say, so he simply didn't bother.
He used to call her Miss Kins. These past few days, hearing Sebastian calling her Angela dozens of times, he just followed suit.
But he knew his grandfather probably wouldn't listen to his explanation.
"Haha, you admit it then. Bruce laughed triumphantly.
Jonathan didn't bother to look at him.
Who knew Bruce would get even more excited? He nudged Sebastian. "Sebastian, go invite Miss Kins over. Let me meet her. Maybe today is the day I meet my future granddaughter-in-law." This... Sebastian hesitated, not because it was inappropriate to invite Angela over, but because it was inappropriate to invite her over as the future young mistress.
"Alright, Sebastian, you're taking advantage of the fact that I'm not the one paying your salary now and only listening to Jon, right?" Bruce suddenly stood up and looked like he was about to leave. Sebastian used to be a subordinate of the Lawson Family and still retained the habit of calling Bruce master. He was later arranged by him to be by Jonathan's side, so how could he not listen to him? Seeing this, he quickly reassured, "Master, I'll go right away."
"Hmph, that's much better. If you don't go, I'll go call her myself. Bruce patted Sebastian's shoulder, pulled him towards the door, and whispered, "Sebastian, I know very well that he doesn't have a girlfriend. Who
can't tell from his moce that he's been single for over twenty years? Look at him, always looking
so foolish. If you and I don't help him, he might actually plan to become a monk!"
Sebastian laughed, feeling a bit uneasy inside.
But he still went ahead.
Watching the triumphant Bruce, Jonathan rubbed his forehead. "Grandfather, I'm not unwell, and I'm not deaf."
Bruce felt no guilt at all. He sat back down and contentedly poured himself a cup of tea. "So what if you heard? What can you do to me?"
Seeing Jonathan speechless and ignoring him, he cheerfully poured him a cup of tea too. "You've been in poor health for so many years, and as soon as Angela appears, you get better. I think she's your benefactor."
Jonathan fell silent for a moment and didn't deny it.
He didn't believe in fate, but thinking of Angela, he somewhat believed that there might be some mysticism in the world.
He met her when he felt he couldn't hold on any longer.
Angela wanted to save him. Even though it was a doctor's concern for her patient, it was fervent and

sincere.
Bruce quietly observed his grandson's expression, and a smirk crept onto his face.
He had a feeling that something was brewing!
In the past twenty-plus years, he had never seen Jonathan treat any woman or female creature with such gentleness.
He needed to step up his game. Otherwise, given his grandson's temperament, he might end up a lifelong bachelor, an old bachelor at that.
Before the door even opened,
"Veet, crisp female voice echoed from outside.
"Sebastian, did Jonathan sleep better
st night?"
Bruce's eyes lit up instantly. He almost knocked over his teacup with his sleeve, hastily righted it, adjusted his cuffs, and quickly resumed his kindly elder demeanor. Jonathan sighed softly.
When Angela entered the room, she saw a kindly old man grinning at her. His expression was inexplicably enthusiastic.
Ignoring the oddity, she glanced at Sebastian, then at Jonathan, hoping they would introduce her so she could greet them.
But before they could speak, the old man enthusiastically introduced himself, "Angela, right? I'm Jonathan's grandfather. You can call me Grandpa too." Grandpa?
Should a strange old man be called Grandfather?
The reason Angela didn't call other old ladies Grandma was that she only wanted to call her own grandmother that. But she had never met her grandfather, so it didn't matter.
If the old man had such a small request, she could easily accommodate it, especially since he was the relative of her benefactor's father.
Angela obediently called out, "Grandpa."
"Oh my." Bruce didn't expect her to actually address him as such. He chuckled, unable to contain his laughter, "What a sweet girl."
Angela was puzzled, wondering how addressing him as Grandpa made her sweet. Despite her confusion, she couldn't help but smile along with the old man's joy.
Sebastian looked on helplessly, a hint of guilt evident in his expression.
Angela's laughter was delightful and shining like the stars.
Jonathan was momentarily captivated by this warmth. His fingertips curled slightly, then he lowered his gaze and tugged at the corner of his mouth.

But Angela soon furrowed her brow.
Bruce's smile faltered, wondering if he had frightened the pretty and well-behaved girl with his exaggerated laughter.
"What's wrong, dear?" Bruce quickly asked with concern.
