Chapter 1112

In Master’s study room.

Alexander Foster has been sitting for three minutes, yet the Master keeps chatting about unrelated matters.

"Grandfather, I need to go back and read Chlo-Chlo her bedtime story," he gently reminded.

The Master was taken aback, "Chlo-Chlo has insomnia? She can only fall asleep if someone reads her a bedtime story?"

"No, it’s me who wants to read her one."

The Master instantly understood - it was a romantic gesture between the young lovers.

He simply didn’t understand.

Without wasting much time, the Master voiced his question directly, "Alex, I want to know if you have any special feelings for Manie?"

Alex’s eyes shot to the Master, surprisingly that he would ask such a question.

"No."

The Master grunted, nodding. His eyes reflected his heavy heart.

"Grandfather sees that girl is quite a match..."

"Grandpa, why ask such a meaningless question when you already know my heart?"

The Master picked up his soothing tea and took a sip, sighed and pointed out, "You don’t understand, there are things which you yet to comprehend."

Alex sensed something amiss, "Indeed, I don’t understand. Your words are beyond my expectations."

In his perception, his Grandfather was not someone who would ask such questions.

The Master sighed again, "You pursued Chlo-Chlo for so long, has there been any progress? If not, perhaps it shows you two aren’t a good fit."

He showed rare solemnity, "Alex, the Fosters cannot afford to lose you. No matter how much Grandpa likes that girl, we can’t disregard your future."

Alex furrowed his brows, "Grandfather, please be clear."

The Master clasped his hands, intertwining them in a dilemma.

"This isn’t a suitable conversation for Grandpa to have. But, I want you to know, when the time’s right, give Manie a chance. She is as good as Chlo-Chlo. Why not try to like her?"

Alex’s eyes revealed a complicated scrutiny, perhaps out of respect for the old man, he refrained from being too blunt.

After a pause, he said, "No matter your reason, to me, Grandpa’s words are nothing but ridiculous."

The Master pursed his lips, slightly agitated but he didn’t let it show.

He knew his words were somewhat inappropriate.

"After talking to Manie for several hours, I realize she and Chlo-Chlo are of the same type. Both are tough, excellent girls who match well with you. Besides, she comes from the Continent of Stortia. If the two families join in marriage, the benefits of it need not be explained to you... But, I didn’t make this decision solely based on this. More importantly, it’s about Chlo-Chlo..." he paused, helpless expression in his old eyes.

Suddenly, Alex realized.

"Grandfather, do you know something?"

The Master glanced at him, "Judging by your question, you knew about Chlo-Chlo’s health condition all along, didn’t you?"

As expected!

Alex clenched his fist a bit tighter.

"I know."

"You know it, yet you persist?" The Master seemed a bit furious.

"Love isn’t a calculation of pros and cons. Grandpa, please understand."

"Love?" The Master sighed, then chuckled, "Let me tell you, love has an expiry date! Can you guarantee that you will never change, eternally loving her the same way? What if, in just three years, you lose feelings for her, do you understand the consequences you’ll face then?"
