Jordan asked immediately, “What’s wrong? Just say the word, Carole.
If Domenic is picking on you, I’ll be at your beck and call.
”
Jordan’s voice was nothing but calming for Carole.
To hear him say those words made her rx.
“It’s fine.
Domenic is very nice to me.
I’m just a little worried about him.
He’s been drowning with meetings since this morning, and even skipped lunch.
Whispering Mist’s food is quite delicious, you know? I even invited him for dinner there, but he said that he was too busy and would skip that too.
People need food to function properly.
For all I know, he might copse if he keeps skipping meals.
But he never listens to me.
So I think…”
Jordan couldn’t stop himself from smiling.
He was pleased with Carole’s progress.
Although, he didn’t care much about Domenic’s health, he knew he could rely on Carole to keep him informed about
Domenic’s situation in a timely manner.
“I see, Carole, don’t worry.
I’ll tell him that.
”
Carole pouted at Jordan’s words.
“But if Domenic knew I told you about this, he’d definitely hate me more.
I’d even dare to think he’d drive me away.
.
”
Jordan got what she meant.
“No need to worry.
I know Domenic.
And, you have my word.
I won’t expose you.
Carole, Domenic lost his mother at a young age.
He’s been living alone all his life, and the idea of someone caring about his basic needs is new to him.
I owe him a lot.
Please help me take good care of him.
And, don’t hesitate to tell me if he’s choosing his work over his health again.
I’ll make sure to lecture him.
”
Carole grinned at Jordan’s words.
“I will take good care of him.
You can trust me.
”
After hanging up, Carole walked out with a smug smile.
In thete afternoon, just after finishing a meeting, Domenic received a call from Jordan.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Rubbing his forehead, he answered.
“Grandpa, what’s up?”
“Domenic, I’ve made a reservation at Whispering Mist for tonight.
Take Carole there for a nice meal once you’re done with work.
You should be more attentive to her; she is your future wife, after all.
Don’t be so distant.
”
Recognizing Jordan’s attempt to create yet another opportunity for him and Carole, Domenic felt a wave of irritation.
Agreeing to marry
Carole didn’t mean he had epted her.
“But I still have work to finish.
I’m not sure if…”

Jordan cut him off sharply, “Are you really so busy that you can’t spare time for a meal? I’ve noticed you’ve lost some weight recently, probably because you’re skipping meals due to work.
That’s why I arranged this, to ensure you take a break and eat well.
But it seems I’ve done it all in vain.
”
Jordan’s voice turned into a fit of violent coughing.
Remembering the doctor’s warning that Jordan’s illness couldn’t handle stress,
Domenic sighed in resignation.
“Alright, Grandpa.
Once I’m done with work, I’ll take Carole to dinner.
”
Satisfied with Domenic’s promise, Jordan straightened his back, leaning leisurely against the headboard.
With a feigned weak voice, he said, “That’s my good boy.
I won’t trouble you any longer.
Go on with your work.
”
