Jayden asked, "Karen Joy, Grandpa is here too?"
When Jayden's parents brought him back to Chatterton Town when he was in a coma, his grandfather, Hale Kyle, was away. Even until when Jayden had left for Madison City, Jayden still did not get to meet him. The moment Jayden heard that Hale was here, he was extremely excited.
Karen Joy nodded. "Since we're all here, of course Grandpa would come along too."
"Mom, you guys chat away. I'll take Silvia to see Grandpa first." After greeting the elders, Jayden then dragged Silvia along to the living room.
However, Silvia was not keen to meet Hale at all. She said, "Jayden, let go of me first. Could you please let me prepare myself before meeting your grandfather?"
Jayden stopped and looked at Silvia, who was hesitating, "Grandpa loves me very much. Now that you've become my wife, it means that he's your grandfather too. Why do you have to be mentally prepared to meet your own grandpa?"
Silvia faltered. "But I'm a little scared."
Jayden laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? I thought you're fearless? How could I be scared of an old man? Are you afraid that he will eat you?"
Jayden was just joking, but Silvia actually nodded. "All the men in the Kyle family are so cold, and even Julien, at this young age, is the same too. Every time I see them, I would always be at a loss. I really don't know how to get along with them. Now that the person you're going to take me to see is the person with the highest seniority in your family. He's also the person you respected the most. I'm worried that I'll be too nervous that I start blabbering and ruin your image."
Silvia's reasoning was ridiculous yet funny. Jayden reached out his hand and poked her forehead. "Alas, you look smart but why can't you just use your brain to think, huh?"
Silvia glared at him. "Stop criticizing me."
Jayden once again held her hand and said, "My grandfather is a friendly old man. He really loves me, and he has been waiting for me to bring my wife to meet him. He will be delighted to see you. Why would he scare you?"
Silvia was still unwilling to enter the house. "Jayden, you still don't understand what I mean, do you? I'm not saying that he's going to scare me, but it's the aloofness of the men in this family that stops me from getting too close to them."
"Oh... I never knew that my granddaughter-inlaw actually thinks that the men in this family are terrifying." A slightly old but loud voice sounded in Silvia's ears. She looked up and saw an old man in his sixties standing at the door in front of her and looking at her with a smile.
Needless to say, this man was Jayden's grandfather. He had grey hair and a friendly smile on his face. As Silvia looked at him, she could not see even a trace of aloofness on him. He even gave off the vibe which made Silvia feel that he was her grandfather instead.
Jayden immediately spoke up for Silvia. "Grandpa, Silvia didn't mean anything bad. She's just worried that you won't like her, so she was feeling a little uneasy."
Grandpa Kyle said, "Girl, you are Jayden's wife. If he likes you, the whole family will too, including me."
Grandpa Kyle was completely different from what Silvia had imagined. He was speaking to her in a joking tone, which definitely eased Silvia's anxiety.
Now that Silvia was feeling much more relaxed, she smiled sweetly and said, "Nice to meet you, Grandpa! I'm Silvia. I'm really happy to see you!"
