Chapter 203
Caleb’s hair had grown long and unruly, resembling a bird’s nest. His eyes were glued
to the book, and he remained oblivious to everything else around him.
“What’s going on here?” Alexander sensed that something was off.
He had seen Caleb act out and ck off, but he had never seen Caleb this serious, like a
bookworm. Was this even his grandson?
Caleb scratched his head and looked at Alexander, tears welling up in his eyes.” Grandpa, it’s too
difficult! It’s soplicated! I just can’t learn this stuff!”
Caleb had thought that if he forced himself to study, he would eventually understand it. After all, he
had Alexander’s blood running in his veins.
Besides, he used to be somewhat intelligent as a kid, right? So why did he feel so clueless now?
His eyes hurt, and his head throbbed from all the studying, but he just couldn’t grasp it.
Alexander was taken aback at first, then he walked over with a sigh.
“Did you lock yourself here for days just to read these books? You won’t understand everything if no
one’s here to teach you.
“If you could, you’d be a prodigy! If you really want to learn, I’ll arrange for a tutor toe by
tomorrow and start teaching you from the basics.”
“Starting from the basics? When will I ever be able to date Skr then?” Caleb felt utterly defeated.
Alexander rolled his eyes. “Didn’t John make it clear to you? Stop daydreaming. You’re not good
enough for Skr.”

“You’re all looking down on me!” Caleb shouted in frustration. He believed he was worthy of being
with Skr. So, the more they doubted him, the harder he would try.
Skr had dinner with Gloria at Pearlhall Residence. Afterward, they watched a variety show
together.
Joe will be back tonight I’ve asked Edgar to schedule an appointment at the hospital for you two,”
Gloria said.
These two worrisome kids needed a little push. If she didn’t intervene, they might never get together
until she passed away, flo, Gloria thought a pre–pregnancy check up would bring them closer.
Gloria knew Joe well. If he didn’t want to go, he would have refused outright. But since he had
agreed, he must have some feelings for Skr.
Earlier that afternoon, Gloria had received a call from Alexander. He had said that he also favored
Skr and mentioned that Caleb was quite taken with her. He had also been stunned to learn that
Skr had grown up with Vi.
Alexander likely hadn’t recovered from the shock since he had cursed his sons for being unreliable.
The way he saw it, Joe wouldn’t have stood a chance if his own. sons had had children earlier!
However, Gloria was confident. Even if Caleb had been born early, he wouldn’t have turned out to
be as handsome and capable as Joe!
“Alright, Grandma. Joe mentioned it to me. I’ll take the day off tomorrow.” Skr nodded. She
hadn’t had a check–up in a while and could use the opportunity.
“Joe might seem stern, but he’s way better than the first male contestant on this show. Look at that
guy–sweet–talking and dating the first female contestant one. day, then cooking for the third girl the
next,” Gloria said, shaking her head.
“Well, Joe would never do that. Once he’s set his sights on someone, that’s it for life!” Gloria praised
Joe endlessly to secure Skyar as his future wife.
Skr agreed. “Not just the first guy. Even the second and third male contestants can’tpare
with him.”
Joe had assured her that he had nothing to do with Annie. Although Skr had initially been
skeptical, she had realized a few days ago that he genuinely didn’t care. about Annie’s feelings,
As soon as she finished speaking, a deep voice sounded behind her. “Do you really think that highly
of me?”
Joe had arrived just in time to hear her praise him.
Skr’s smile froze, and she turned around in shock to see Joe standing there. When did he get
there?
