Chapter 286 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

  • It had been over a month since he received the news that Jared had returned to San Joto, yet this unfilial grandson had not even come to see him. Jared knew very well what his grandfather was angry about. He casually took a few steps forward to come in front of his grandfather, looked at the crutch in his hand, and raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t know that you had started using crutches.” Mr. Johnston Sr. used to be a soldier and had always been tough. Jared had never gotten word that his grandfather’s health had declined, even to the point of having to walk on crutches. Hearing Jared’s evasive reply, Mr. Johnston Sr.’s face turned grave.
  • He wielded the crutch in his hand, wanting to spank Jared. When Jared did not dodge, he reduced the force of his hand and shifted the direction of his crutch to avoid hitting his waist. So Jared was unharmed. Jared seemed to have expected what would happen. He looked at Mr. Johnston Sr. as usual and answered his last question. “It was boring abroad. I came back to help you.” He looked at Mr. Johnston Sr.’s startled expression and then continued. “You will allow me, will you?” Mr. Johnston Sr. did not expect Jared to say such a thing. “Can you help me?” He repeated Jared’s words with a look of surprise on his face.
  • As Jared nodded, Mr. Johnston Sr.’s expression immediately eased up. He coughed softly and studied Jared. “Just tell me; you have a favor to ask from me, don’t you? Whatever I can give you, I will give you.” He knew Jared would not have come back to help him had he not had something to ask from him. Jared shook his head and glanced at his grandfather, then walked aside to pick up the still-steaming cup of tea and take a sip. His grandfather did not say it out but was still very happy to hear the news that he had come to see him. Otherwise, his grandfather would not have prepared two teacups filled with freshly brewed tea. A smile spread across Jared’s face, and he looked back at his grandfather.
