Perhaps his grandpa really did try to steal his wife. Could it be the Alyssa standing in front of him?
"Did this old man steal you away from my grandpa? Was he the home wrecker?”
Stanley was blunt, voicing his thoughts without any subtlety. Maybe he was pissed by Presley, or maybe it was intentional.
Stanley’s words made Presley so angry that his eyes nearly popped out, while Alyssa was grinning from ear to ear. "Yes, if it wasn't for him, you might be my grandson now!"
"Granny!" Stanley was intentionally provoking Presley. As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, he called out to Alyssa as "granny".
"I'm not his grandpa!"
"My boy!" Alyssa let out a joyful cry, utterly ignoring the furious Presley next to her.
"How are your grandparents, are they doing well?"
"Maybe."
Stanley answered vaguely, then sat back down on the sofa.
After that, Alyssa and Stanley chatted for a while before returning to the main topic. "I heard you guys were attacked in West Valley today. Did you figure out who did it?"
Stanley glanced at her, "Shouldn't you first ask if anyone got hurt?"
Alyssa raised an eyebrow, "Since I heard about the attack, how could I not know if anyone got hurt?"
"Fair point."
Chloe pursed her lips, shifting her gaze to Alyssa.
Everyone knew Presley was eccentric, but maybe Alyssa was too. She didn't directly ask, nor did she show any worry or concern, but in fact, she had a clear understanding of the situation.
Presley was now quiet, obediently sitting on the sofa, not saying a word. He always knew that Alyssa had been looking out for him behind the scenes.
Chloe suddenly laughed. These two actually had a unique understanding of each other in their own way. It was a kind of romance that belonged only to them.
"Chloe, take some time off to heal at home. Let Damon handle your work for now." Alyssa didn't continue discussing the attack in West Valley and shifted the focus to Chloe.
Chloe smiled, "It's not a big deal, really."
"Still, you should rest. Your engagement party with Damon is coming up. If you're not healed, we can postpone it."
Chloe tightened her lips, she didn't want to. "I will take care of myself."
Only then did Alyssa smile, tenderly patting Chloe's hand.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and took Alyssa's hand away. Stanley looked at Alyssa with an annoyed expression, "My dear Alyssa, Chloe can't marry your grandson! She's my woman."
