Chapter 38 Trouble

• Contrary to what I had expected, he extended his hand and accepted my gift. He nodded his head and thanked me. Although he was smiling, I could sense that there was a tinge of sadness. He said, "You are almost the same age as my granddaughter. However, she has been living a pampered life since young. She's definitely not as mature and hardworking as you."
• I dared not make any negative comments about the elderly man's granddaughter. After all, no grandparents would like to hear others badmouthing their grandchildren, no matter how unworthy they were.
• "Your granddaughter must be a bright child under your care and guidance. She is such a lucky girl to receive all your love." The elderly man broke into a smile upon hearing my words. He nodded his head lightly and said affectionately, "Her parents passed away a long time ago. Hence, my wife and I have tried to shower her with love every single day. We will do our best to satisfy all her requests."
