The old man saw her and beamed, “Why are you back so quickly?
Didn’t you say you’d be back later?
Julian is also so early today.”
Having a wife really does make a difference!
Before this, they never thought he would come home so early.
Julian said somewhat coldly, “Why did you suddenly come over?
Your health isn’t great to begin with, and you’re running around like this.”
Scarlett glanced at him, utterly amazed that even in front of his elders, he could put on such a cold exterior, as if he were the stern parent here.
“I was just worried Scarlett wouldn’t get used to living here, so I came to check on her.” At this point, Grandpa Griffin looked at Scarlett and said, “Scarlett, are you alright?
Why did you fall ill as soon as you arrived?”
Hearing on the phone that Scarlett was sick, Grandpa Griffin was very concerned.
The Griffin Family now feels like they’ve been terrified by past shocks.
Scarlett said, “It’s just a minor cold.
I got an IV for a day and I’m much better now.”
Actually, she didn’t think it was serious; she got the IV just to recover quickly.
“It must be because Julian hasn’t been taking good care of you.” After saying this, Grandpa looked at Julian, “You’re a man, she’s a woman, and you can’t compare the two.
Show more care for her.”
“…” Julian realized that whatever he did was wrong, and not doing anything was wrong too.
He said to his grandpa, “Yes.”
That’s why he says women are really troublesome!
Grandpa looked at Scarlett and said, “Since you’re sick, don’t stay with me.
Go rest!
Get your health back.”
If even Scarlett were to have issues, then there’d really be no way out.
Scarlett said, “Okay.
Grandpa, you should go back to rest early too.”
This was Scarlett’s first time here, and she was unfamiliar with everything.
Julian accompanied her to their bedroom.
There was only one bedroom being used here.
There was a smaller guest room next door, but since people rarely visited, it was almost never used.
Once inside with the door shut, Scarlett asked, “What should I do?”
Julian stood beside her, a head taller, and said, “You rest up.
I’ll call you when he leaves.”
Without seeing her rested, Grandpa probably wouldn’t feel at ease going home.
Scarlett had no choice but to lie down on the bed.
After she lay down, Julian went out and told Grandpa, “She’s already asleep, Grandpa.
You can go home now!
Your health isn’t great, so stop running around like this.”
Grandpa sat on the sofa, talked with Julian for a while, “I’m just worried for you, afraid you’d leave her home alone.
Look at your age, people your age have two kids already.
Now that you have a wife, pay more attention.
If I can see you become a father before I pass, I’d be satisfied.”
Julian sighed helplessly at Grandpa’s words, “Got it.”
He knew Grandpa meant well.
Old people are like this, always thinking one must get married, as if not getting married is a crime.
After chatting with Grandpa for forty minutes and listening to him nag for a bit, he finally agreed to leave.
Julian escorted him downstairs, then came back inside, only to see Scarlett curled up on his dark bed, already asleep.
Her fair face exposed, black hair spread beside her.
But she seemed to be sleeping very restlessly, her brows furrowed, lips quivering.
“Dad, I’m sorry!”
“Dad, I won’t dare again.”
“Dad, I’ll do better next time.”
