Chapter 787


    He picked up his phone, thought for a moment, and decided to call Holden.


    But Holden didn’t pick up.


    Mansion and tell them I’ming over for dinner tonight.” Jeff immediately went off to do just that.


    Seven o’clock in the evening.


    Holden was ying chess alone on the sofa, with many pieces already on the board, indicating the


    game was nearing its end.


    He saw Holden about to move a piece back and couldn’t help but say, “Once a move is made, there’s


    no taking it back.”


    Unexpectedly, Holden looked up at him.


    “Yeah, once a move is made, there’s no taking it back. So why are you here tonight?”


    He could see right throughn’s intentions.


    ?


    All because he thought Maja would listen to Holden, so he came to seek Holden’s help.

    “Grandpa, this is the painting you’ve always wanted. I had it bought at a high price from abroad.”


    Holden raised an eyebrow and took a look.


    This painting had been in the possession of a collector abroad who was unwilling to sell it.n had to


    put in quite an effort to get his hands on it.


    also further proved that he had quite a bit of wealth abroad, so much so that even Holden himself didn’t


    know how much.


    Holden put the painting down with satisfaction but didn’t mention Maja. Instead, he cheerfully called for


    the butler to bring out the dinner.


    “It’s nice of you toe back and keep mepany tonight.”


    Knowing why his grandson hade back, he didn’t spell it out.


    He hade back from abroad early just to y matchmaker for these two, and what happened?


    even showing strong disgust.

    Holden had invested a lot of time back then, only for this kid to finally have a change of heart now.


    Toote.


    During the meal,n dutifully served a bowl of soup to Holden.


    Holden chuckled. “Good boy, at least you know how to show some care.”


    Just as Holden was about to drink the soup,n began to disclose the purpose of his visit.


    “Remember when Maja saved you and took care of you in the hospital for a while? Grandpa, you have


    her photos, right?”


    At one point, Holden had said he would show him the photos, saying Maja was especially cute, diligent,


    and responsible.


    Butn had been so repulsed by this woman at the time that he had refused without a second thought.


    If he had looked at the photos then, he wouldn’t have found out that Penny was his wife until now.


    He regretted it deeply now.


    “Oh, you mean that.”


    Holden, in a good mood, had the butler find the photos.


    A photo was ced in front ofn.


    It was Maja when she first started college, with a high ponytail, looking youthful and vibrant.


    Despite being cold, she always had a smile in front of the camera. Her skin was fair, she was wearing


    a simple white shirt and jeans, and her lively aura was seemingly about to burst from the photo.


    He stared at it for a minute, hearing Holden say, “Maja is very kind. If she hadn’t saved me, I would


    have died then. She took me to the hospital and took care of me, even asking for leave in front of me. I


    was thinking then, How nice it would be if this girl was my granddaughter–inw, beautiful and


    capable.”


    tan felt a pang in his heart, holding the photo tightly but afraid he might crumple it with his strength, so


    he slowly let go.


    He turned to the butler and asked, “Do you have scissors?”


    The butler didn’t know what he needed scissors for but quickly brought a small pair.

    So in front of Holden,n cut the photo directly, even cutting off his own grandpa from it.


    Holden was shocked by his actions, reaching for his cane to hit him.


    “You good–for–nothing! Are you trying to kill your grandpa?”


    Holden was so angry that he couldn’t speak. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said,


    “What good is her photo to you now? She doesn’t like you; I’ve told you so many times not to regret


    it; you said you wouldn’t; and what now? Do you deserve it?”


    Holden was the only one who dared say such things ton, hitting him right in the heart.


    In the photo, Maja smiled at the camera, looking very well–behaved.


    She was just like Holden had said, kind and dedicated.


    To help a stranger unhesitatingly at that time, it’s no wonder Holden liked her.

    Having been in his position for so many years, he could tell a person’s character at a nce, and


    Maja’s actions at the time undoubtedly touched him.


    Every extra ncen took, the more his heart ached.


    If only he had met her earlier.


    There was still a bowl of rice in front of him, but he had no appetite to eat.


    Holden was enjoying his meal, and seeingn’s dispirited look, he was very pleased inside.


    It was something he had thought about countless times, hoping his grandson would regret it, and he


    didn’t expect this day toe so quickly. “Grandpa.”


    “She listens to you, so call her back. I want to remarry her.”
