Tobias walked up to Peter. "Grandpa." Peter glanced at Tobias.
He couldn't help sighing.
His grandson was undoubtedly a good-looking man. Why was he still single? Tobias's eyes fell on the cup of tea perched on the table in front of Peter.
The tea had already turned cold.
Tobias said, "Grandpa, your tea's cold. Letmake you another cup." He poured Peter another cup of tea.
Peter sighed again.
Not only was his grandson handsome, he was also a gentleman and well-mannered. A wonderful man like himself should have gotten married ages ago.
The more Peter thought about it, the more bitter he felt.
"Sit down," Peter said, glancing at Tobias.
Tobias sat next to Peter.
Peter took a sip of tea. "You already know the purpose ofbringing Yuna here, don't you?" He did not make it too explicit.
Tobias's eyes darkened slightly.
He spoke straightforwardly. "Grandpa, everyone has their own opinions. I can't change the way you think, just like how you can't change the way I think. I respect you, and I hope that you can respectas well." It was an obvious rejection, and Peter knew it.
He immediately becupset.
Perhaps he'd bectoo frustrated since his arrival in Glevania, and he'd reached his breaking point.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPeter glared at Tobias. "Stop fooling around! I'm your grandfather!" Tobias' gaze did not falter in the slightest. "Indeed you are, but I have my own opinions, Grandpa. And I don't like to be threatened." There was a hint of sharpness in his tone.
Obviously, Peter could tell as well.
Though he felt offended and winded up, there was also a touch of emotion in his heart.
His grandson wasn't a pushover.
It was true that the new generation overtakes the old.
With this sigh, his anger gradually subsided.
After a moment of silence, Peter spoke again. "Tobias, do you know how I got to know Yuna?" Tobias remained silent.
Peter continued, "Yuna's the granddaughter of my comrade-in-arms. I'd always thought that he was dead, but I ran into him unexpectedly. Tobias, he's not just an ordinary friend of mine." "You also know that I have fought at war before. I was almost killed when we were attacked by the enemy once, and this comrade-in-arms was the one who saved me. He covered for me, and even took a bullet for me. I owe him my life." "I only found out that his granddaughter was single when I ran into him, and coincidentally, she knew about you and was interested in you. Therefore, don't you think it's reasonable forto try to matchmake the two of you?" "I owe my comrade my life. Do you think I can bear to let him down?" Peter stared at Tobias expectantly after he finished speaking.
Tobias's breathing hitched.
Moments later, there was a hint of helplessness in his tone. "Grandpa, this is your business. You can't expectto pay it back on your behalf." It was evident that the old man saw things differently.
"What are you talking about? If Yuna were ugly, then it'd be a sacrifice. But look at her, she's pretty and well- mannered. How can it be a sacrifice for you? You're a match made in heaven, and I'm just trying to make you see that! You..." Peter glared at him.
"Grandpa." Tobias cut him off. "No matter how perfect she is, I'm not interested in her." Peter was so angry that his beard trembled. "If you're not interested in such a nice girl, then who are you interested in?" The image of a woman's face emerged in Tobias' mind.
She had a small oval face, fair skin, and big eyes.
"Hayden's mother," Tobias said subconsciously.
Peter's breathing stopped for a second.
After a while, he waved his hand. "If you're interested in her, then bring her to see me. I might not approve of her, but she is Hayden's mother after all!" A hint of bitterness flashed through Tobias's eyes.
Another scene flashed across his mind.
It was something that he'd never be able to forget.
The memory of Natalie running the dagger into her own chest.
Tobias replied in a dejected tone, "Grandpa, there's no way for us to be together anymore." Hearing this, Peter was outraged.
He suddenly started to cough, his face turning pale. He looked like he was suffocating.
Tobias quickly patted Peter's back.
"Tobias, if there's no chance for you and Hayden's mother, and you're not interested in Yuna, what do you plan on doing? Are you going to stay single for the rest of your life?" Search the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"Yes," Tobias said in a low voice.
That was his plan.
Peter coughed even heavier at that, aggravated by what he said.
The coughing was much more serious this time. No matter how Tobias patted his back, it was useless.
Tobias hurriedly called for their private doctor.
The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with Peter, it was just that he'd gotten too agitated.
He spoke to Tobias in private, "Mr.
Tobias, Mr. Peter's a hot-tempered man. It's better for you to go along En with what he says." He hadn't expected Peter to hear him though he'd purposely kept his voice down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPeter glared at them. "Go along with what I say? He won't rest till he getskilled." Tobias was speechless.
Slight regret flashed through his eyes.
He had been negligent and forgot that Peter was already old. To sextent, he had to be more gentle.
After thinking for a moment, Tobias walked to Peter and said earnestly, "Grandpa, please don't make things difficult." Peter could see that Tobias' expression was humble at this moment, losing the sharpness from before.
He was slightly moved, and the anger in him eased a little.
"Tobias, I can't allow Yuna to have just chere for nothing." This was Peter's final concession.
Tobias' eyes glinted.
After a while, he spoke in a low voice.
I "Grandpa, I won't make things too you in hard for you in front of other people, but really can't develop any feelings for her. There's no chance for anything to happen between us." Peter gave a dejected sigh.
This grandson of his was really stubborn.
He was already in this state, yet Tobias still refused to give in. What was he going to do? Tobias left for the office early the next morning, per his usual style.
But Yuna was utterly elated.
This was the most excited she'd been since arriving at the Whitlock family.
And it was due to Peter telling her that Tobias had invited her for dinner that night.
Just the two of them.
Yuna tried her best to conceal her smile, but she couldn't hide the elation in her eyes. Cecelia's heart hitched.
Tobias had promised to go to dinner with Yuna?
