Jeremy could see Richard calculating from a mile away and honestly didn’t even feel like exposing him.

Yvonne let go of Jeremy and toddled over to Richand, hugging his leg with righteous indignation. “He’s had! I asked him a question, and he just teased me!”

“That’s very had indeed,” Richard said, nodding solemnly with full agreement.

But as soon as he processed what she’d said, he realized this was a great chance to impress the little one. He bent down, smiling kindly, and asked, “What did you ask, Yvonne? Tell Grandpa, and I’ll answer you”

Yvonne instantly forgot her frustration. Her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “Grandpa, can you tell me what kind of person is Stefan!”

That’s it? Richard blinked, surprised by how simple the question was. He shifted his gaze to Jeremy, suspicious “Why didn’t he just answer? Was there a trap!

Still aiming to score points with Yvonne, Richard didn’t rush to answer. Instead, he turned to Jeremy and asked casually, “And what did you tell her, Jeremy?”

Jeremy said nothing. His silence made Richard uneasy. He had hoped to eliminate a wrong answer, but now he had no idea what landmine might already be buried.

The moment the words left his mouth, the light in Yvonne’s eyes vanished. She silently let go of his leg, turned around with a blank expression, and walked away. “Bye, Grandpa.”

“Eh? Wait–what?” Richard called after her, genuinely baffled.

Only Jeremy seemed relaxed. He stepped beside Richard and, with genuine delight, said, “That’s great, Grandpa. I feel much better knowing you crashed and burned too.”

“What do you mean?” Richard frowned.
