At the side, Alpha Wade stared at Nelly with pursed lips. He hesitated for a long while before asking, “Tell me the truth, Nelly . Did you and Alpha Kilian -”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“No!” she cut him off before he could finish his sentence.
Of course, he knew she wouldn’t lie to him, but after giving it some thought, he still said, “I don’t think Alpha Kilian ‘s interest in you has gone down. If you really have no interest in him, you should tell him that.”
“I was saying we haven’t reconciled yet, Grandpa!” “What do you mean?”
“It means what you think it means!” She smiled.
He understood instantly. “You made up your mind already?”
“Not yet, but you know me, Grandpa. I haven’t changed. I’m still the same person as the little girl back then.”
He knew, of course. The children of the Jackson family are all cut from the same stubborn cloth. Once they make a decision, it’ll be difficult to change their minds. Even after Alpha Kilian did that horrible thing, she could only default to not talking to him and wanting nothing to do with him. Nevertheless, it’s difficult for her to change how she feels deep down.
And so he nodded at her. “I hope Alpha Kilian will understand and won’t disappoint you again.” “If I don’t have high hopes, I won’t get disappointed, Grandpa!”
“If you don’t have high hopes, then why do you want to get married?” Alpha Wade didn’t agree with that point of view.
Nelly smiled. “Grandpa, in every romantic relationship, everyone has the right to end it whenever they want. No one can predict or restrict it. What anyone can do is prepare for it. If that day comes, they’ll be able to accept it with grace. Maybe that day will never come, which is yet another option. Regardless, as long as we don’t have expectations, we won’t be disappointed.”
His eyebrows furrowed as he listened. He didn’t like what he was hearing, but he couldn’t deny it was wise.
Humans were unpredictable.
Even if someone made a rock-solid promise, so what? People could still change their minds one day, and there would be nothing anyone could do.
While Nelly ‘s perspective was a little pessimistic, he was still glad to hear it because it meant she wouldn’t fall into despair when that day did come.
Alpha Wade stared at her. “Nelly , I have been holding on to this belief that one day, I wouldn’t be able to take care of you anymore. It’s why I want to find someone to take care of you. However, I understand now. In reality, no matter who I hand you to, I won’t ever feel at ease. So, I won’t force you anymore. I believe you know what to do. Feel free to do what you want if you want to!”
“If you’re worried about me, you can take care of me for the rest of your life!” Nelly sniffled a little. “I want to, but I’m old now!”
“Grandpa!”
“All right, all right, I’m not old. I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life!” he uttered lovingly. That managed to make her smile.
“Is it Alpha Kilian ‘s idea to move?” Alpha Wade suddenly asked. That stunned her for a moment.
Alpha Wade added, “Alpha King Larry and that grandson of his sure work well with each other. Do they think I can’t tell? They’re probably having some ideas about you.”
“I’ve considered it thoroughly, Grandpa. I hope you can stay with Old Alpha Morris . This way, both of you can take care of each other.”
“What? You think the two of us can’t take care of each other while living together?”
“I still need to work and occasionally go on business trips, so I can’t always stay by your side. If you live with Old Alpha Morris and Dan, I’ll feel more at ease!”
Alpha Wade sighed resignedly. “Fine. If it makes you feel better, I’ll do what you want.” Nelly smiled. “Don’t worry; I’ll stay there every now and then.”
That prompted him to sneer. “If you live there, you’ll be fulfilling Alpha Kilian ‘s wish.” She simply listened with a raised eyebrow instead of saying anything.
Once their conversation concluded, they returned to where they came from. Alpha King Larry stared at them, waiting to hear their decision.
It was then Nelly spoke. “When do you plan to move, Old Alpha Morris ?” “I can leave whenever possible!”
“Then feel free to pick a good day and move in with Grandpa!” He immediately asked, “You agreed to it, Alpha Wade ?”
“Of course I did. I can’t risk you ruining the house if you move in alone,” Alpha Wade replied.
Alpha King Larry wasn’t going to be petty about it. As long as Alpha Wade was willing to move in, he would be happy. “You’re right. If you don’t move in, I may tear the place apart!”
Alpha Wade smiled, but not genuinely.
Nonetheless, at that moment, Alpha King Larry didn’t care. He turned to face Dan. “Quickly, go and pick a good day for me to move in!”
Dan responded swiftly, “I’ll go and do that right now!” “Just choose the most recent date!”
