Jay immediately declined. "Grandpa, Zayne needs to manage the Severe family's company. And Josephine i s pregnant, so she has limited mobility. Don't bother them for now."
He despised those two for third-wheeling all the time.
Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay in confusion. "It seems like you're not being very welcoming?”
Angeline started chuckling.
"Grandpa, Jaybie and Zayne don't seem to see eye to eye. They’re always quarreling whenever they meet."
Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, "That's good. Ask Zayne and Josie to come to visit. That way, Jay can increase his social skills."
Jay stared at his grandfather speechlessly. "I don't need help improving my social skills."
Grand Old Master Ares said, "Is that so? I was the one who brought you up. I think I know you best."
Jay stared at the ceiling speechlessly.
Even if he needed help in that area, it was a thing of the past.
Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, "I thought you were autistic as a child. You were constantly bitter
and harbored deep hatred toward everyone as if they had done something wrong. You sure had me worried ... and I had to tease you almost every day for you to start talking..."
Perhaps due to this reason, Grand Old Master Ares still retained the habit of teasing Jay to make him talk even after so many years.
Jay was suffering in silence. "That’s because I had nothing to say to other people."
He had such an arrogant character that he did not want to cater to worldly matters and would refuse to talk if he did not want to.
"You have nothing to say to other people, hmm? Isn't that what they call social anxiety?" said Grand Old Master Ares.
