Chapter 1282

Even if Jesse was not being particularly nice, he was obviously indicating that he accepted Patrick—the emerald necklace was proof enough.

Patrick turned toward Sean, who gave him an adoring look.

"Don't flirt in front of me!" Jesse snapped right then.

"Let me help you, Grandpa," Cordy offered.

"It's alright-Johnny rarely visits the capital. You should spend more time with him..."

"I'll do it," Sean offered.

"No!" Jesse barked, clearly hostile.

"Allow me, then," Patrick volunteered.

Jesse was left glaring at him-was he really a Stuart? Was he so blind he could not tell how hostile he was toward him?!

"I'll treat you like my own grandfather." Patrick simply strode up to Jesse and held him up by his arm without noticing the moody look on his face.
