"Right, Grandpa asked when you have time to go for a meal." After Levi had put his things away, he thought of what Zack had called over to say a few days ago and got a bit of a headache.
"What!?" Ruby didn't hear clearly what Levi said for a moment, and looked over in some confusion.
"Forget it if you don't have time, old people just like to have something to do." Levi pursed his lips, fearing that Ruby would not want to entertain those people from the Sharp family, so he spoke directly.
"It's fine, there's nothing going on lately. Let me know when you have an appointment." Ruby instantly thought of the kindly old man on the day of the wedding, Zack gave her a pretty good impression, at least he was not a brutal and unreasonable old man, and it was obvious that he was very fond of Levi.
He had given her a gift on the day of the wedding, but she was too tired later and forgot about it, so it seemed that she had to prepare a gift if she wanted to go to the Sharp family for dinner.
Ruby went to the kitchen to pour water.
Levi raised his eyebrows in some surprise and stood there for a while before he called Zack and told him about Ruby's going to dinner.
The time was set for the next evening, and Levi told Ruby, who responded haphazardly and thought about it before asking Levi again, "What does your grandfather like?"
"Grandpa? He just likes fiddling with flowers and plants, he also likes calligraphy and painting." Levi subconsciously replied, thinking about it and added, "You don't need to bring gifts over."
"Got it." Ruby answered and ignored Levi.
"Levi, come to my room." As Levi was just about to remind Ruby of a few more things, Cara came out of her room and waved at him, gesturing for him to go over.
Levi responded and followed.
"Grandma, is something wrong?" When he entered the old lady's room, Levi asked with some concern as he saw that the old lady did not look too good.
Cara patted a seat to the side and gestured for him to sit down before she turned and went to the dressing table and brought something over, handing it to Levi: "Put this away and give it to Ruby later."
"Grandma, you'd better give it to her yourself." Levi always felt that the old lady was not in the right state, saying these words as if she was giving her last words.
Thinking of how Grandma had become the way she was after Old Lady Sutton had suddenly come to see her earlier, he guessed there was something to do with the Sutton family.
"I know that you are not an ordinary person, and you probably know the people in the Sutton family, so I won't say anything more to you, you will know what you need to know. If they want to get into trouble with Ruby, I'm too old to protect her. Levi, I can see that you have feeling for Ruby. So I want you to protect Ruby, is that okay?” Cara looked at Levi, and her eyes reddened as she spoke.
"Grandma, what exactly happened? Between you and the Sutton family ......" Levi looked at Cara with concern.
"The Sutton family won't give up that easily, especially since their family has been extinct by now, that old woman certainly hopes that Ruby to be her granddaughter, and maybe they will recruit a son-in-law, so that their family's bloodline will continue. Humph, what a beautiful thought." The old lady snorted coldly.
