Connor Grant watched the elder go inside, then leaned closer to Lily Shaw and quietly explained, "Sister-in-law, don't be upset. Grandpa doesn't mean any harm. He just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, his words might sound harsh, but he truly cares about us."
Lily Shaw withdrew her gaze as the old man entered the house, glanced at her worried brother-in-law, and smiled gently, "I know, Grandpa's temper is quite similar to your brother's."
Aiden Grant fell silent: ...
Having lived with Lily Shaw for a long time, he didn't even need to think to understand her underlying meaning. He really wanted to say: I'm nothing like that stubborn old man!
But when he looked down at Lily Shaw, he clearly saw the teasing glint in her eyes, and swallowed his words back.
Connor Grant stood in front of the couple, clearly witnessing their exchange of looks, a flash of amazement in his eyes, thinking his sister-in-law was remarkable.
