delivered from a five–star hotel.

Alex got up and walked over to the dining table. “Why didn’t you wake me?”

Tara, enjoying her meal, replied, “It just arrived. I was just thinking about whether to wake you or not!”

Maybe because his hunger had passed, Alex wasn’t starving anymore. But seeing all the tasty food, his

appetite kicked in, and he sat down to join her.

Tara glanced at him and said while eating, “When I went downstairs to pick up the delivery, I ran into your

great–grandfather!”

Alex paused mid–bite, looking up at her. “And then?”

“I thought he wouldn’t remember me, but he did and even greeted me,” Tara said with a smile. “I guess pretty

faces leave a lasting impression…”

Alex frowned. “You didn’t say anything weird, did you?”

“Relax, do I seem like someone who doesn’t know when to keep quiet?” Tara shot him a look.

Well… not entirely sure about that.

“What did my great–grandfather say?” Alex asked as he slowly peeled a lobster, his young age not diminishing the elegance and grace in his movements.

“He said I should come over to your house for a meal sometime,” Tara laughed, then looked at him. “Does your great–grandfather cook well?”

Seeing her eyes sparkle with mischief, Max rolled his eyes at her. “Don’t even think about it.”

“Why not?” Tara asked.

“How am I supposed to explain this to my mom?”

“Aren’t I your martial arts teacher? Just make something up.”

“My mom’s not that easy to fool.”

“So you’re saying Hugo Hodges is easy to fool?”

“I don’t live with him, so he doesn’t know me as well,” Max replied. But Scarlett Adler was different; she could

sense even the slightest change in him.

Tara continued munching on her food, unconcerned. “Maybe your family already knows I’m staying here.”

Max paused.

Shoot, she might be right!

When William Adler returned home, Scarlett Adler and Yale Lowe were chatting in the living room.

Upon entering and seeing their cheerful demeanor, William smiled with satisfaction. Say what you will, Yale

Lowe was a dependable guy. If Scarlett ended up with him, at least she’d have a stable life.

Meanwhile, Yale noticed William’s return and immediately rolled up his sleeves to help out.

“Grandpa, let me help you,” Yale offered.

“No, no, you all go chat. I can handle this myself,” William replied.

Yale glanced at Scarlett, who was resting in the living room. “Scarlett just got back from the hospital. Let her

rest a bit. I’ll give you a hand; it’ll be quicker this way.” With that, he started unpacking the groceries and began washing them.

William watched Yale, feeling more satisfied with him by the minute.

He didn’t refuse further and let Yale assist him.

While they cooked, William asked, “Yale, what do you think of Scarlett?”

Yale looked over at Scarlett, who seemed to be dozing off on the couch, looking as relaxed as a cat.

“She’s great. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why, but being around her is really comfortable,” Yale said sincerely.

“Are you saying our Scarlett isn’t pretty?” William raised an eyebrow.

Yale paused for a moment. “Grandpa, you’re joking, right? It’s not that she’s not pretty–she’s too pretty. But

that’s not all there is to her. I think her personality is the best part!”

William nodded in agreement and then looked at him, “So, do you… like our Scarlett? Lowe, don’t blame me for being direct. As her grandfather, I just want someone who truly cares for her. That’s my only wish. If not, just pretend Grandpa Adler didn’t say anything…”

“Yes, I do!”

Before William could finish, Yale Lowe spoke up decisively.

William studied him, and Yale’s gaze was incredibly sincere. “Grandpa Adler, from the moment I saw her, I

liked her. I’m serious about this!”

William was very happy with his honesty, but he still voiced his biggest concern, “But, what about your family? Will they agree? You know Scarlett has been divorced and has three kids…”

At this, Yale’s eyes showed a hint of complexity.

“I’ll talk to my family. I don’t know what their attitude will be, but my stance is firm. As long as you’re willing to trust me with her,” Yale said.

William paused at this, his smile slowly becoming a bit stiff,

He understood that acceptance into any family wasn’t something that could happen overnight.

Especially for prestigious families, they placed great importance on a woman’s background and lineage.

Someone like Scarlett, who was divorced and had a child…

Such is the world, even if he saw Scarlett as a treasure, society would still scrutinize her, and that was the

most frustrating part.

William smiled and patted his shoulder, “Take it slow.”

Yale frowned, knowing that promises meant little; actions were what truly mattered.

Soon, William had cooked up a feast.

Regardless of Yale’s family situation, William genuinely liked the kid. Even if things didn’t work out, it was

fate, and it didn’t diminish his appreciation for Yale.

“Call Scarlett for dinner,” William said.

Yale nodded and headed over to the couch.

“Scarlett…”

At the sound of her name, Scarlett’s eyes snapped open, and she instinctively reached out to strike.

Yale reached out and easily stopped her, “Scarlett, it’s me.”

Scarlett’s hand hovered in the air as she looked at Yale.

“Did I scare you?” Yale asked, watching her.

Scarlett relaxed, letting go of her tension. “No, I just had a dream…”

Yale smiled gently at her. “Come on, it’s time to eat!”

“Okay,” Scarlett replied, getting up.

Yale watched her and walked over together.

Scarlett stretched, taking in the aroma of the food. “Home is the best.‘

“You may be comfy now, but Lowe will have to come over to change your bandages.”

“It’s no trouble, I’m happy to help,” Yale said with a smile.

Scarlett ignored that, walked over, and sat down.

“Lowe, come sit and eat,” William invited.

Lowe joined them, taking a seat nearby.

Then William remembered something. “Oh, Scarlett, guess who I ran into upstairs?”

“Who?” Scarlett asked, munching away.

“You mean the girl who helped First when he got lost and took him back to the hospital? The pretty one…

William said,

Scarlett paused, “Her?”

Tara?

“Yeah, that’s her. Turns out she lives in our building. Funny, right? I hadn’t noticed before, but today I saw her

picking up a bunch of food deliveries, all from fancy places. Looks like she’s got quite a crowd at home!”

William added.

Coincidence?

Probably not just a coincidence.
