Justin''s tall frame instantly stiffened. It was as if an invisible force had seized his heart.


    "What did you just say? Grant is back?!"


    Gregory''s eyes sparkled with joy. His delight was evident. "Where is he now?!"


    "He''s currently in the hospital''s underground parking lot. I happened to run into him when I was returning from an errand."


    "Why didn''t he tell us in advance?" Gregory eximed, his face beaming with a mixture of joy and reproach.


    "I talked to Young Master Grant for a bit. He said he didn''t inform you in advance because he didn''t want you to go through the trouble of preparing for his arrival." "That boy, always so considerate!" As he finished his sentence, Gregory quickly instructed Justin, "Justin, go inform your grandfather. I''ll head down to greet Grant first!"


    Justin watched their departing figures, his fingers curling inward slightly.


    When the Salvadors reached the parking lot, Grant was already sitting calmly in his wheelchair with a gentle smile on his face.


    "Grant!" Gregory called out excitedly, striding eagerly toward his eldest son.


    Not far behind, Justin and Be supported the elderly patriarch, following at a more measured pace.


    "Grandpa, Dad, Justin, I ended up disturbing you all."N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Grant''s pale lips curled into a gentle smile, like a spring breeze rippling across a deepke. His warm gaze finally settled on Be''s serene face. "Ms. Thompson, you''ve alsoe specifically to wee me. I feel quite embarrassed."


    "It''s nothing. Since you''re Justin''s elder brother, you''re naturally my brother as well. It''s only right that I treat you with respect."


    Be responded with a polite smile while secretly sizing up the legendary eldest son of the Salvador family.


    She had anticipated this day but had not expected it to arrive so abruptly.


    Before meeting him, she had always imagined him as a lurking adversary, ready to challenge her man at any moment.


    Yet, upon seeing him today, she found no trace of hostility in his serene and gentle demeanor.


    His warm and approachable smile effortlessly bridged any distance between them.


    "Wee back, Grant," Justin said warmly. However, his handsome features were tinged with a thinyer of frost, betraying a mix ofplex emotions.


    He did not quite understand his own reaction.


    Although his brother had merely greeted Be, his heart suddenly clenched with unease.


    At that moment, as Be supported their grandfather, she felt an unexpected, searing warmth on the back of Justin''s hand.


    Justin interfaced Be''s hand, which

    waist, tightly. His fingertips nervously cramped together, sending a tingling sensation through his nerves.


    Be furrowed her brows slightly, casting a puzzled gaze at Justin.


    However, Justin kept his gaze ahead. His expression was as serene as that of a meditating monk, though the tension in his jawtine revealed his suppressed emotions.


    "Grant, why didn''t you inform us in advance of your return? We could have prepared properly. This is so sudden," Nigel said with a warm smile.


    "We''re all family. There''s no need for preparation. It''s been many years since west met. But surely, you don''tsee me as an outsider, do you, Grandpa?" Grant''s smile deepened. en.swhovels
