E shyly bit her lower lip, blushing as she gestured, "Maybe Micah is just being polite and doesn''t mean anything by it."


    "I see his attitude is much better this time than before. You should seize the opportunity," Grandpa Clemens advised earnestly, "Although my grandson looks cold, he is actually very affectionate deep down. As long as you capture his heart, he will treat you well!" "Okay, I understand." E nodded with a smile.


    "Do you still like him now?" Grandpa Clemens asked again.


    "I do," E answered without hesitation, "As I''ve told you before, I''ve liked him since I first saw him at fifteen, and that feeling hasn''t changed."


    "Good." Grandpa Clemens smiled contentedly.


    Soon, the butler prepared exquisite desserts and creamy mushroom soup.


    The servants seated Ss and E at the dining table, while Micah changed into fresh clothes and came downstairs.


    The three of them sat down to eat, with Grandpa Clemens inquiring about business matters. Micah sometimes responded and sometimes remained silent.


    Grandpa Clemens was displeased with his indifferent attitude and criticized him.


    Micah grew impatient. "I spend over a dozen hours outside during the day. Can you leave me some peace at night?"


    "You..." Grandpa Clemens was about to get angry when E ced a dessert on his te and gestured, "Grandpa Clemens, this dessert is delicious. Try it."


    Her gentle smile quickly extinguished Grandpa Clemens'' anger.


    "Learn from E, be gentler," Grandpa Clemens scolded Micah, pointing at him. "You like a headstrong lion, always ready to bite."


    Micah ate silently, saying nothing.


    In fact, he really wanted to go back to rest. If it weren''t for the invisible forcepelling E to help him persuade Grandpa Clemens, he wouldn''t have been able to sit still for a second. "Grandpa Clemens, you don''t seem to be in good healthtely. Are you tired?" E chatted with Grandpa Clemens using signnguage.


    "Just shuttling the children every day, nothing else." Grandpa Clemens sighed. "It''s just that I''m getting old, and the damp climate on the mountain makes my bones ache every day. I always feel lethargic." Upon hearing this, Micah nced at E, knowing that they were getting to the point.


    "The mountain is indeed a bit damp, but in the summer, Hillside Vi is cool andfortable. And the air is fresh," E gestured with a smile. "But I think staying here is not very good for your body. I remember you looked very healthy in Aetheria."


    "That''s right." Grandpa Clemens nodded. "I got used to the lifestyle there and adapted better to the climate."


    "When I recover, I can help you with some therapy; it can also relieve your difort." E continued to gesture, "By the way, the old doctor that treated you in Aetheria was good. Why not invite him over?"


    "He can''te anymore." Grandpa Clemens shook his head sadly. "He''s in his eighties, not in good health, and his family won''t let him travel abroad. We talked on the phone yesterday; he said he''ll see me when I go back, but I''m really worried that he might gone by the time I return.


    As he spoke, Grandpa Clemens felt a bit sad. At his age, losing old friends one by one was his greatest fear.


    "Really? I thought Grandpa Rey was quite robust." E looked surprised.


    "He was, but after a fall, his health has been deteriorating," Grandpa Clemens said with a heavy heart, "I also ended up in a wheelchair two years ago after a fall. Before that, I could still y football with my great-grandson." "Old folks shouldn''t be falling," E frowned, reminding him. "I think with proper care from that old doctor, Grandpa Rey can still improve. And you too. You needprehensive therapy."
