NovelEnglishElizabeth walked over to Phillip and snorted when she saw him munching on candy.
Her brows creased slightly as she said, “Phillip, do you want to join us for dinner?”
Phillip looked up at Elizabeth and nodded.
Elizabeth chuckled when she saw that. “I think I know why you got upset earlier. Is it because I sent
you back to your room?”
Everyone laughed at her comment. Sylvie looked around the room and muttered to Phillip, “Don’t feel
upset, Handsome Grandpa. They’re not laughing at you.”
Sylvie had always been a quick-witted child who warmed up to people instantly. She had done the
same with both Elizabeth and Phillip.
Patricia was not worried about her three children, as they seemed to get along very well with the older
generation. Ever since they were toddlers, they would try to initiate conversations with any older folks
they met.
Even as babies, they would gurgle and chatter indecipherably, but the older folks would play along and

Phillip felt disgruntled when he heard Elizabeth’s comment. They did not understand him at all. Why
would he be upset over returning to his room?
He was upset that he could not stay with his great-grandchildren, but no one understood him. No one
knew what he wanted, so it was only natural for him to lose his temper, right? They were going to be
the death of him someday.
Thankfully, his three great-grandchildren were so kind to him. They fed him candy and helped him with
his hair.
The little girl was especially sweet and knew all the right things to say to soothe him.
Patricia was relieved to see that Phillip had calmed down.
She was afraid that Phillip lost his temper because he did not want to see them, but since the three
children managed to calm him down, she was no longer worried about that.
If their presence somehow worsened his condition, it would not sit well with her conscience at all.
The servants wheeled Phillip out of the bedroom. Everyone sat down in the living room to watch
television. They decided to watch Sylvie’s favorite animated series, Peppa Pig, and the little girl happily
snacked on more fruit with her eyes glued to the television.
Now and then, Sylvie would reach out to feed a piece of fruit to Phillip, while Scott and Stellan would
wipe both Sylvie and Phillip’s mouths for them. The two little boys were clean freaks.
As soon as they spotted anything smeared on Sylvie and Phillip’s lips, they would wipe it off at once.
In the meantime, Patricia and Elizabeth struck up a conversation about this and that. Elizabeth kept on
observing Patricia and each time, she would marvel at the young woman’s pretty features.
Elizabeth had met people from all walks of life in her day, but she had never seen a woman as beautiful
as Patricia. The more she looked at Patricia, the more beautiful she found her.
It was then that Elizabeth finally realized why Isaac was smitten with Patricia.
Just then, one of the servants came over and announced, “Old Mrs. Arnold, Master Isaac is back.”
Patricia had not expected Isaac to be home for dinner, so she stared wide-eyed at the door, and their
eyes met.
A servant reached out for Isaac’s coat, and he bent down to change into indoor slippers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Sylvie spotted him, she grabbed a strawberry and ran over immediately.
“Mr. Arnold, you’re back! Here, open wide.”
Isaac glanced down at Sylvie before picking her up. She held the strawberry up to his mouth, and he
ate it obligingly.
“Your house is so big, Mr. Arnold. It looks like a castle!”
Isaac chuckled in response. “If you like it here, Sylvie, then you can stay here from now on. What do
you say?”
Sylvie’s eyes sparkled. “Really?”
Immediately after that, she shook her head.
“Even though it’s pretty here, it’s not my home. I like my home with my older brothers.”
Isaac chuckled again when he saw how serious she looked.
“If Tricia and I get married, this will be your home too. Why don’t you help me win your mommy over,
Sylvie?”
Sylvie’s large eyes brightened once more.
“You’re right! I’ll ask my brothers to help you too.”
