Chapter 198
Though Yandel did not go there often, it did not mean he would not go over.
Still, Kimberly expressed her worries. “Mr. Levine, there’s no problem with you living in the Larson
residence. But I’m worried that my grandpa will come here suddenly. If the two of you get into a fight by
then, you guys may get emotional. It’s bad for health.”
What Kimberly said made sense, and it was reasonable that she had such concern.
Maxwell laughed and said half-jokingly, “Don’t worry. I’ll tolerate that old codger.”
He thought Kimberly not driving him away was half the battle.
The words “Mr. Levine” made Maxwell somewhat uncomfortable, though, as it sounded formal.
Besides, she kept addressing Yandel as “her grandpa” intimately.
Although Maxwell was upset, he recognized that times had evolved and could only bear ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
with it.
He thought of settling the score with Christopher when he returned home, as Christopher had
completely ruined their good plan.
Soon, Maxwell and Kimberly had chatted to their heart’s content.
Esther led Candice into the house, ready to inform them it was time for dinner.
Candice was a joyful child. She would get acquainted with anyone and could always spark
conversation.
She broke free of Esther’s grip and ran toward Maxwell. “Great-grandpa, you are biased. You ignored
us as soon as you saw Mommy. Daddy is like this, too.”
Her iconic cute voice was so infectious that it made Maxwell laugh out loud.
Maxwell, surprised by her words, said, “Oh? Your daddy only accompanies mommy instead of you,
huh?”
Candice nodded her head fervently and replied solemnly, “Yes. I never lie!”
Candice was good at vying for favors.
Kimberly listened to their conversation and was mortified. She mused, ‘What’s going
on? When did Candice become so good at exaggerating things?”
In truth, Christopher had only spent time with them once or twice.
Seeing her parents talk about things together for a long time, Candice thought Christopher was biased
toward Kimberly.
A moment ago, Maxwell was still thinking about dealing with Christopher when he went home.
Candice’s words had directly helped Christopher gain a plus point now.
Maxwell suddenly felt Christopher was not useless.
He also realized that the relationship between Christopher and Kimberly might not be as bad as he
thought, and Kimberly might even give birth to other grandchildren of the Levine family in the future.
Maxwell had made outstanding achievements in the business world.
He did not feel it when he was young and had almost spent all his time in his career.
Only after passing the business to Christopher did he have the time to think about life.
He felt the Levine family’s descendants were too few.
Thus, he put all his hopes on Christopher now.
After Christopher got married, Maxwell always encouraged Christopher to have babies.
He could still remember Christopher and Kimberly divorced secretly not long after he had encouraged
them to have babies.
Maxwell looked up at Kimberly and smiled meaningfully.
Kimberly was standing there watching Maxwell and Candice interact intimately and happened to meet
Maxwell’s gaze.
All of a sudden, she felt a little uneasy.
“Come on. Let’s go have dinner!” Kimberly got up and changed the subject.
Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice sat at the table and enjoyed the dishes heartily. The ambiance was
warm and lovely.
Kimberly certainly should take the credit for that.
Many children of other families had eating problems.
Either they were picky eaters, or they had to be fed.
Basically, there was no eating problem in the Larson residence.
Kimberly was busy serving Maxwell.
Maxwell had eaten all kinds of delicacies.
However, he hadn’t eaten so comfortably for a long time, which made him have a great appetite and
eat more.
Kimberly was a little worried about that.
Knowing that neither adults nor children should overeat, she couldn’t help reminding him, “Mr. Levine,
why do you cat more now? Is the food here suitable for your taste? But you can’t overeat. Your
stomach may not be able to handle it.”
Maxwell was picking up a piece of braised pork rib. As soon as Kimberly’s words fell, he quickly stuffed
it into his mouth.
He looked as if he were a child who was afraid that the adult would confiscate the candy in his hand.
“Don’t worry. I’m healthy. I had a full health checkup last month, and the doctor said I have a middle-
aged physical condition in my 70s,” Maxwell said proudly.
Kimberly gave him a thumbs-up upon hearing that.
After being busy for a whole night, Kimberly finally had time to sit down.
She pondered for a while and decided to call Christopher.
Maxwell indeed treated her well. There was no problem for him to temporarily stay in the Larson
residence at all.
However, he was there on a mission, and it was a big deal about the Levine family and the Larson
family.
Her current identity had put her in an awkward position.
Thus, she made up her mind to let Christopher know about that.
She hesitated for a long time to make the call.
Meanwhile, Christopher had just called and briefly talked to Maxwell.
His phone rang again right after he ended the call.
He thought Maxwell had something else to say, so Maxwell called him back.
Christopher took the phone and glanced at it.
He was stunned and surprised.
Seeing that it was Kimberly calling, he couldn’t help feeling sweet.
He was overjoyed.
Such happiness was no less than securing a large order himself.
“Hey, Christopher. How could you let your grandpa come to Dellmoor alone?” Kimberly went straight to
the point.
Her tone was full of dissatisfaction.
But when Christopher heard it, the tone changed.
He neither found it harsh nor did he think she was scolding him.
Shamelessly, Christopher said, “You should know Grandpa is stubborn. He’s the one. who made the
decision. I couldn’t stop him if he wanted to go. Right? And I couldn’t just lock him in the house.
Grandmother didn’t agree either and gave him the silent. treatment. Still, it couldn’t change his mind.”
What he said was both the truth and his excuse.
Since the beginning, he had been supporting Maxwell to go to Dellmoor.
Kimberly was speechless. After hearing his extravagant words, she did not know how to demand an
explanation anymore.
No matter what, she could not admit defeat.
Kimberly deliberately fidgeted, not listening to explanations. “That’s your family business. I don’t care.
You’d better find a way to take him away. If my grandpa finds out and they fight, there’s really nothing I
can do.”
Kimberly’s stance and attitude were clear. She did not want to get involved in the previous generation’s
grudges between the two families.
