Chapter 256 Grandpa Said Move In
Waylon winced from the hit, gritting his teeth in silence. He stood up, grabbed a plate, and headed straight for Jasmine.
“There’s really no need. Madam Alice already offered, and I honestly don’t like strawberries.” Jasmine said as she shifted slightly, but before she could fully rise, the strawberries were already in front of her.
She quickly stood and pushed the plate back toward Alice. “Madam Alice, you should eat more. Strawberries are good for your health.”
Her gesture earned her a warm, delighted smile from Alice. “What a sweet girl.”
That’s my grandma! Waylon sat down with a huff, resentment bubbling under the surface. He couldn’t help blurting out,
“Ms. Jasmine’s house is pretty far from here, isn’t it? What brings her by only now? Considering we’ve known each other for generations, it’s honestly a bit rude we haven’t hosted her all these years.”
Where did she even come from? Do they really think just any rando walking into our house qualifies as some kind of lifelong family friend? Sure, Andres was getting older and liked indulging the younger generation, but he wasn’t stupid.
“Heh, Jasmine’s family doesn’t really reach out to the outside world unless there’s something important going on,” Andres said cheerfully. “It’s rare for her to visit. I haven’t seen anyone from her family in ages.”
Oh great, now they’re some reclusive clan out of a fantasy novel?
Waylon grinned and played along. “Then I assume Ms. Jasmine’s visit means something important has come up? We’re honored you could make time for us despite your busy schedule. If there’s anything we can help with, just say the word–no need to be shy.”
“That’s exactly why I called you back.”

Waylon pondered. She’s already trying to move in? Is she out of her mind?
“Grandpa, I don’t mind since I’m single, but she’s a young woman. Isn’t it a little

inappropriate for the two of us to live together like that?” Waylon cut straight to the point.
“It’s fine. You’re never home anyway; always out till the middle of the night. It won’t affect Jasmine’s studying. And what do you mean, inappropriate? Mathilda will stay with you two
and cook.”
Waylon’s brows knitted together as he scrambled for a way out.
“That still won’t work. How are you guys going to eat without Mathilda? And what do you mean I’m out all night? I’ve been feeling off lately and trying to fix my sleep schedule. Been home on time every day.”
“I knew your body was weak–serves you right for living like that! Good thing Mathilda can‘ help nurse you back to health. We’ve got a nutritionist now anyway, so don’t worry about us. Every meal is carefully planned.”
“But-“Waylon tried to protest again, but Jasmine cut him off.
“Mr. Andres, I’ll just rent a place myself. I don’t want to trouble you
all.”
Andres immediately got flustered. “Absolutely not! Your grandfather entrusted you to me, and I have a responsibility to look after you. You’re a young woman, not used to being out in the world–what if something happens? Just listen to me, stay at Waylon’s. If anything comes up, he’ll handle it. You focus on studying and don’t worry about anything else.”
Wow… what a manipulative play. Waylon opened his mouth, but Andres slammed his hand on the table and cut him off with fire in his voice.
