Walter Riley suddenly thought of his own family. There was a tragic story in his family too!

He lost his wife while giving birth to his son. And tragedy struck his family again. His daughter-in-law died when Xander was still young.

Walter Riley didn\'t like the idea of his son, Patrick Riley, marrying Martha Bells. Still, he was traumatized by losing the people closest to him. He was afraid something might happen to Xander, so he reluctantly allowed Patrick to marry again so he could have more children.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom And Walter\'s grief continued. Patrick died not long after Carter was born. God had abandoned his family!

Now, Walter Riley could only pray there would be no more tragedy before he died! He didn\'t want his close kin to die before him. No more!

...

Silently he took a deep breath remembering his family\'s sad story. Then, he glanced at the girl who hung low her head and avoided eye contact with him. He knew this girl must be feeling sad.

"Scarlett, I\'m sorry to hear that." Walter smiled gently at her. "Don\'t be sad. Now that you are married to my grandson Xander, you will automatically become my granddaughter. Please think of me as your real grandfather! I will love you as much as I love Xander and Carter!"

He only has two grandchildren and feels blessed to have Scarlett in his family.

Scarlett slowly lifts her head and looks at Grandpa Riley with blurry eyes — she holds back her tears because now she misses her mother.

"T-Thank you, grandpa!" Scarlett said softly and tremblingly, feeling blessed to hear his sincere words.

Walter Riley smiled, trying to comfort her. "So when are you returning to island B?" he asked, trying to change the subject.

"After Xander\'s comeback. He said... he would come back in a few days!"

Walter Riley took a deep breath, and his expression slowly turned irritated.

"Why is that brat making business trips after you two married? Xander should know better!" Walter Riley is upset to learn that Xander left for a business trip soon after his wedding, and he didn\'t take Scarlett with him either.

Walter doesn\'t understand how Xander\'s brain functions!

"Don\'t worry, Scarlett, I will call that brat, and I\'m going to scold your husband because he was gone for so long and didn\'t bring you to his trip!"

Walter\'s eyes deepened as he stared at Scarlett and thought about how to scold his heartless grandson!

Scarlett straightened her back, hearing he was going to scold Xander. "D-Don\'t do that G-Grandpa..." she stammered in surprise. Walter was stunned by her reaction.

"Please don\'t be angry with Xander. He\'s not wrong. Xander asked me to go with him, but I couldn\'t  because there was a movie project to be completed..." Scarlett explained about her work so that Grandpa would understand Xander.

Hearing how Scarlett stood up for his grandson amazed Walter.

This girl, her heart is so pure. She even defended her husband even though that brat was clearly wrong; He left his beautiful wife just days after they married!

As a man, he couldn\'t understand this.

Now, Walter Riley started making plans — If that brat returned, he would call him and teach him how to treat his wife well.

Walter has given his grandson Xander complete control of the company, but he doesn\'t want him to work too hard himself.

He knew that before Xander took the company, their company was only significant in Astington. Now, their company has expanded to other continents since Xander took over.

In less than 10 years, their company has multiplied. Riley Group being big and powerful, that\'s great!

Success is always followed by sacrifice!

From then on, Walter felt like he was missing something. It was difficult for him to meet Xander. That brat, too busy to even return to the Riley Mansion, a year could be counted on the fingers.

Now, as Walter wanted, his grandson slowed down; He is married, so it\'s time for him to relax and delegate tasks to others and spend time with his wife!

It would be better if they gave him a great-grandson, right!?

One of Walter\'s biggest dreams is that he really wants to see his great-grandson before he dies. So he need not worry as his bloodline would still exist, and he could rest assured of meeting his son and daughter-in-law.

"Alright... Alright... Don\'t worry, I won\'t scold him. But, you have to understand, that brat is still wrong. He can\'t leave you that long. And why did he force himself to work himself to death? He can come back if he wants, right!?"

Scarlett, "..."

"Don\'t worry, Scarlett, I will not scold him. I will remind him that he was so stupid. Stupid brat!!"

\'Isn\'t that the same thing?\' Scarlett thought in her heart.

Scarlett could only nod. And tried to distract herself by thinking about the day Xander returned.

\'Am I ready!?\' Just thinking about their wedding night made her heart race. \'Geez!! Xander must be planning to do something romantic, right!?\'

...

Before long, dinner time finally arrived.

Dinner was lively and hearty, even though only four were at the table.

However, a little sadness appeared in Scarlett\'s heart because Xander was not with them. If only he was around, then tonight\'s dinner would be even more perfect for Scarlett.

"Scarlett, how\'s the food?" Martha was tense, waiting for Scarlett to eat. She wanted to make sure the food was to Sacrlett\'s taste. She  even asked Carter to find out Scarlett\'s favorite food so she could cook it for her.

Scarlett raised her head and showed Martha a sincere smile, "Auntie, what Carter said is true! You are a talented cook, and I agree with him. This dish, it\'s delicious..."

"Really!?" Martha\'s smile widened, and she was delighted to hear the compliment.

"Yes!"

"I\'m glad that you like it. Eat more..." Martha reminded Scarlett, who was eating too little and slowly as if her mind was busy thinking about something.

Scarlett couldn\'t help but smile and went back to eating, but not long after, she could feel a glare from Carter sitting opposite her...
