“Why would I? Your dad and his wretched wife will only shave years off my life!”

The thought of Sophia gave Newton a headache. He let out an exasperated sigh. “I have sworn not to move back until Javier divorces that woman. I’m fine here. The secret to longevity is to keep them out of sight anyway!”

Jasper flashed a bitter smile. He felt helpless in front of his stubborn grandfather.
