"Your family has been causing troubles since you married Zed, right? Now if Zed has promised to give that land to your father as a marriage gift, then let him! If you let them have what they want, maybe they will stop causing trouble. If you want to cut ties with the Wen family, then that's your choice. But always remember that you are linked to them by blood. The way you feel about them doesn't change the fact that they are your parents. I hope you give them some respect,"
Benjamin explained. He sighed after he finished.
"Grandpa!" Jean whispered. She was shocked because she had not expected Benjamin to say something like that. Tears started falling from her eyes.
'I never thought Grandpa would be in favour of giving the land to Wen family too. What was even shocking was the fact that he taught me to treat them nicely, ' Jean thought.
Deep inside, Jean was moved. She felt loved by Benjamin, which she had not expected at all.
"I said what I felt like I should have. The rest is up to you," said Benjamin, as he saw tears falling down Jean's cheeks. He was afraid that maybe he had said something wrong which made her cry.
"I will, grandpa! I will do exactly as you said. I will never let you down, grandpa! Trust me, I'll be a good girl," Jean replied immediately. She took a deep breath to compose all her thoughts.
Benjamin could tell from her words that Jean was trying to please him. A faint smile crept up to his face.
"I'm planning to go back to the Imperial Capital in a couple of days," Benjamin looked at Jean and said.
"Grandpa, why don't you stay with us for a few more days?" Jean asked as she was taken back by Benjamin's words.
"No, it's best if I leave you and Zed alone. I should give you both some privacy so that you both could get some time to strengthen your bond," Benjamin said as he shook his head, hinting Jean that he was leaving. "I know what you are worrying about. Relax, I am taking her with me."
Jean instantly understood whom Benjamin was talking about even though he never said her name once.
"I'm really grateful, grandpa!" Jean said as tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Silly girl! You should learn to be strong, or someone would take advantage of your innocence. I'm starving. Let's have breakfast first,"
Benjamin said as he laughed out loud. He tried his best to joke around, in order to make Jean laugh.
"Grandpa!" Jean started blushing. She stepped forward and held Benjamin's arm to take him to the dining room. Deep inside, Jean was happy.
The conversation ended in such a way that made it clear that Benjamin has accepted Jean as his granddaughter-in-law.
Jean and Benjamin enjoyed their breakfast that morning.
After breakfast, Jean made tea for herself and Benjamin.
"If you have some errands to run to then you should go. Don't waste your time here with me. Dan and Jesse will be back soon," Benjamin said.
"There is nothing more important than chatting with you, grandpa!" Jean said as she smiled. She felt really comfortable talking to Benjamin.
"When are you planning to have a baby?" Benjamin said casually.
"Grandpa!" After Jean heard what Benjamin said, she blushed. She stamped her feet because of the awkward silence between them.
"I really mean it! Zed is old enough to be a father now. I was a father at his age," Benjamin said and sighed.
Jean knew that Benjamin expected them to have a baby soon. She immediately said,"We are working on it, grandpa!"
Benjamin was satisfied with that answer and nodded. "I'll be waiting for the good news."
As soon as Benjamin said that, he started laughing loudly. Jean felt really awkward.
"What are you talking about, Benjamin? It seems like you are really happy. I could hear you laugh from across the yard," Dan asked with a big smile on his face. He approached Jean and Benjamin with a fishing rod in his hand.
