As the saying goes,"Ignorance can be forgiven". I will ask for forgiveness from Grandpa on her behalf, '
thought Zed.
Jesse didn't expect Jean to be the way she just acted out! A weird expression came over her face and she thought, 'Jean, you are done!
You have offended the most respectable man ever. No one has ever dared to talk to Grandpa Benjamin like that!
If it was like the old times, you must have been executed!'
Dan looked at Jean and admired her courage.
"You are pissing me off!" Benjamin tapped the floor violently with his walking stick. His eyes raged with anger, he glared at Jean and scolded,"How dare you talk to me like that? Do you wanna risk losing your neck?"
"Grandpa, I know that you once were in the military and you were a high-ranking official. But now that you have retired, you can't treat people younger than you the same old way. I know that I might not be qualified to talk to you like that, but as a senior, you insulted me first. You can't look down upon me and defame me as if I am nothing. Just because I don't have a strong family background that you are insulting me like this?"
Jean spoke for herself reasonably.
"It seems that you still have some self-knowledge," Benjamin said sternly.
"I know myself well and I know who I am," replied Jean, with a bitter smile on her face.
"If you are so clear about yourself, why are you so stubborn? Didn't you know that I will dislike you even more after you replied to me rudely?" Benjamin roared at her.
"Grandpa, even if I seal my lips and stay silent, you still won't like me. Since there is no way you will ever like me, and you always thought that I don't deserve Zed, why don't I just clear myself then?" Jean sighed, a grave expression on her face.
"Are you defending yourself?" Benjamin laughed grimly. He replied,"Are you saying that I am being unfair to you?"
"Grandpa, you disliked me at first sight and just now you asked Zed to divorce me. Do you think you are being fair to me?" Jean asked while she looked at Benjamin bravely.
Benjamin was stunned. He turned his head around and glared at Zed, who had been silent all the time. "Zed, can't you see your wife's arguing with me? Do you still see me as your grandpa?" He sounded angry. His face lost every colour.
"Grandpa, I am also curious as to why are you not happy to see her since you just met her," Zed responded helplessly.
"You! How dare you?" Zed's words made Benjamin angry. Like a roaring lion, he shouted,"Zed, are you taking her side and going against your grandpa?"
"Grandpa, I dare not! I chose Jean as my wife and I have settled with her. Grandpa, you know me well. I love my wife and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. But you really want to tear us apart and this really embarrasses me,"
Zed said and threw up his hands helplessly.
"Don't act in front of me!" Benjamin sniffed at him. He then looked?at Jean?and muttered,"I don't know what you see in her. Has her personality appealed you in any way?"
"Grandpa, please give it some time so that you can get to know her better and then I am sure, you will understand why I married her," Zed explained as soon as he noticed his Grandpa's angry face. He smiled happily at the mention of his dear wife.
"You brat!" Benjamin hit Zed on his head and then straightened his face to look at Jean. "For Zed's sake, I will give you another chance to prove yourself. If you still can't make me change my mind, then I suggest you better leave and never show up again."
"Grandpa!" Zed cried, showing his discontent.
