"Hmph, are you stupid?" Old Mrs. Seymour cast a scornful glance at Old Mr. Seymour, "What good things can they say about Charles? Don’t listen to what they say in the future."
"Yeah, yeah." Old Mr. Seymour, who had always been so impressive in front of others, could only nod and listen to Old Mrs. Seymour when he was in her presence.
"Does Charles have a girlfriend now?" Old Mrs. Seymour asked with interest, always worried that the child, with his cold personality and lack of interest in anything, especially after that incident, might end up alone forever.
"Yes." Old Mr. Seymour, rambling on to Old Mrs. Seymour about Sophie Wilson, "But I don’t know much, just what Ethan Seymour ntioned."
"Hmph, Charles is so level-headed; he wouldn’t be fooled by picking such a girl." Old Mrs. Seymour absolutely disbelieved the words of the Reed Clan mother and son, "They’re speaking ill of her because she must be a good one."
"I’m telling you, old man, you absolutely cannot be swayed, understand?" Old Mrs. Seymour warned Old Mr. Seymour.
"Am I that kind of person?" Old Mr. Seymour looked at Old Mrs. Seymour, aggrieved, "I told Charles to bring the girl ho for a al in a few days."
"Hmm, that’s more like it." Old Mrs. Seymour was satisfied.
Old Mr. Seymour watched his wife smile a broad smile that scrunched the wrinkles on her face into a chrysanthemum shape.

"Grandfather invites you to co for a al in a few days," Charles Seymour turned to Sophie Wilson and said, "If you don’t want to go, we won’t go."
"Of course, why not go?" Sophie Wilson said amusedly, "I think your grandad treats you pretty well."
"Hmm." Charles nodded in agreent.
"Then we’ll visit grandad in a couple of days, and I can buy so gifts." Sophie Wilson started pondering what would be good to buy, and felt awkward about going empty-handed today.
"What do Grandpa and Grandma like?" Sophie Wilson thought it better to ask Charles directly, knowing he would be more helpful.
"A granddaughter-in-law." Charles said solemnly.
Suddenly, her face flushed with heat, burning intensely.
"You, you, you..." Sophie Wilson stamred, embarrassed and at a loss for words, wondering how this guy could be like this.
Charles looked at Sophie innocently, not feeling there was anything wrong with what he said.
"We can go shopping after lunch." Charles seamlessly changed the subject, as if he hadn’t just said sothing flirtatious.
"Okay." Sophie Wilson’s cheeks remained warm, nodding swiftly to end the topic.
Charles’s eyes flashed a loving smile; he reached out and tousled Sophie Wilson’s hair, finding it pleasantly fluffy.
Sophie Wilson glared at him, cheeks puffed up, her eyes round and watery, leaving Charles’s heart soft and mushy, wishing he could taste her sweetness soon.
Although he thought about it, he remained rational, simply holding Sophie’s hand and calmly arriving at the restaurant.
After they ordered the food, Sophie Wilson curiously asked: "Why does Jas Reed try to defa in front of Grandpa? Just for the Seymour Family’s inheritance?"
"Yes." Charles nodded, "He aims to provoke Grandpa’s anger, trying to get him to stop from being with you. Also, he knows I won’t break up with you. Once Grandpa is completely angered and disappointed with , the Seymour Family would be his."
