Chapter 341 Grandmother and Grandson Chat
Grandma's habit of finding fault with Miles was something he had gotten used to. If one day she stopped nagging at him, he'd think something was wrong in the world.
It had been a long time since they had seen each other, so there was a lot to catch up on. But Grandma had come all the way from abroad, and her health wasn't what it used to be. After chatting for a while, she started feeling tired and decided to rest. Jimmy went back to his room to do his homework, while Grandma retired to her room. But just as she was about to lie down, she called Miles over.
"We haven't had a proper chat in years. Now that we have the time, let's talk. You've grown up by my side, always willing to share everything with me. But now that you're older, you don't talk to me as much. It makes me feel like we're growing apart."
Grandma looked at Miles seriously.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
It was true that with his busy work and study schedule, there wasn't much time for chatting with Grandma. His parents had passed away in a car accident when he was 18, and before that, he had spent most of his time with Grandma, developing a deep bond with her.
After the successive problems, Grandma's health deteriorated, and now that she wanted to talk, Miles didn't refuse. He sat beside her, eager to hear what she wanted to say. Whatever it was, he wouldn't refuse, and he wanted to talk more with Grandma.
"Your work keeps you busy, and you've neglected some of your feelings. Your return this time took me by surprise. Also, what you said to Jimmy... our relationship hasn't progressed at all. I'm worried that what I've done is too much and might upset her, so I haven't done anything."
Miles brought up his relationship with Silvia, hoping to warn Grandma not to approach her privately. And that's exactly what Grandma wanted to talk about. Seeing Miles mention it, her expression became more serious. Seeing her expression, Miles knew what she wanted to talk about.
"I'm not sure what your relationship with that girl is like, but I know you like her. If your intention to pursue her isn't genuine, then there's a problem."
"I don't know what you're thinking,
but let me be clear. First, about Jimmy. If he likes that girl, I wouldn't object. On the contrary, I'd be happy. If you don't feel the same way, then you should drop the idea. Don't do something that would hurt someone else."
Although Grandma was equally concerned about them both, she knew what should and shouldn't be done. The way they were handling things now wasn't right, and Grandma emphasized this point.
"I understand. But you can rest assured that I'm serious about her. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her just because Jimmy likes her. My feelings for her are genuine."
Miles was surprised that Grandma brought this up, but he explained earnestly. He admitted that there were other reasons for getting close to Silvia before, but now his feelings for her had changed.
"I wouldn't hurt Silvia, and I wouldn't hurt your feelings either. But if both Jimmy and I like her, I think I have the right to pursue her. However, she seems reluctant, and she even finds my closeness to her a headache."
Grandma was surprised to hear this but understood. If he had approached her with ulterior motives from the start, how could she not notice? But since it was their affair, Grandma didn't say much more. There was no point in talking about it. They both knew where they stood.
"That's fine. You know what you should and shouldn't do. I'm just worried you might do something you shouldn't. Now that you understand, I feel relieved. I'll stay here for a while and watch over Jimmy. I'm happy to see he's doing well. But take care of yourself too. There are others in the family you need to take care of, and we wouldn't want anything to happen to you."
With Grandma getting older, her health was the most important thing. Miles understood what she meant and didn't argue. He knew he needed a strong body to carry on with life.
After chatting for a while, Grandma felt too tired and went to sleep. Miles didn't disturb her; he let her rest and then left for his study to handle some work. Jimmy came over just as Grandma fell asleep.
