Grandma's habit of finding fault with Miles was something he had gotten used to. If one day she stopped nagging at him, he'd think something was wrong in the world.
It had been a long time since they had seen each other, so there was a lot to catch up on. But Grandma had come all the way from abroad, and her health wasn't what it used to be. After chatting for a while, she started feeling tired and decided to rest. Jimmy went back to his room to do his homework, while Grandma retired to her room. But just as she was about to lie down, she called Miles over.
"We haven't had a proper chat in years. Now that we have the time, let's talk. You've grown up by my side, always willing to share everything with me. But now that you're older, you don't talk to me as much. It makes me feel like we're growing apart."
Grandma looked at Miles seriously.
It was true that with his busy work and study schedule, there wasn't much time for chatting with Grandma. His parents had passed away in a car accident when he was 18, and before that, he had spent most of his time with Grandma, developing a deep bond with her.
After the successive problems, Grandma's health deteriorated, and now that she wanted to talk, Miles didn't refuse. He sat beside her, eager to hear what she wanted to say. Whatever it was, he wouldn't refuse, and he wanted to talk more with Grandma.
"Your work keeps you busy, and you've neglected some of your feelings. Your return this time took me by surprise. Also, what you said to Jimmy... our relationship hasn't progressed at all. I'm worried that what I've done is too much and might upset her, so I haven't done anything."
Miles brought up his relationship with Silvia, hoping to warn Grandma not to approach her privately. And that's exactly what Grandma wanted to talk about. Seeing Miles mention it, her expression became more serious. Seeing her expression, Miles knew what she wanted to talk about.
"I'm not sure what your relationship with that girl is like, but I know you like her. If your intention to pursue her isn't genuine, then there's a problem."
