Jeffrey didn't hold back his dissatisfaction with Anna. "What niece? She's not part of the Boltons. You don't need to pay her any mind."

"But, Grandpa

Before I could finish, I felt a cold gaze land on me. Carter spoke indifferently, "You should call him Dad."

The icy reminder left me drenched in a cold sweat. Carter was far too perceptive. I'd called Jeffrey "Grandpa" for so long that it slipped out as a habit, something no one else had noticed-except him. Suppressing my inner panic, I silently reminded myself to be more careful in the future.

I forced a smile and looked at Carter. "Right, I just thought Dad and my grandpa are about the same age, so I instinctively called him Grandpa."

"It's fine," Joffrey said kindly, his attitude unexpectedly warm, likely because my face stirred some familiarity in him. "You're new here, so it's understandable if you're not used to everything yet Come, have a seat."

It seemed that no matter if I was Emma or Chloe, I could effortlessly gain what she most desired. She might have thought she played her role well in front of Adam, but her little tricks didn't fool Jeffrey.

Obediently, I settled next to Jeffrey. While it was true that he favored Luke-a natural bias, considering Luke was his biological grandson-his kindness toward me was genuine. For that reason, my feelings toward him were also sincere.

Taking off his glasses, Jeffrey held my hand, his tone wistful. "I'm about the same age as your grandpa. You can call me Dad or Grandpa, whichever feels right to you."

Sheila immediately interjected, "Dad, wouldn't that mess up the family hierarchy? She's not...

Jeffrey shot her a fierce glare. "Go check on the kitchen. As long as I'm alive, you don't get to call the shots around here."

It was clear that Jeffrey missed me. His complexion didn't look great, likely from worrying about my disappearance.

After sitting with Jeffrey for a while, he was overjoyed to learn that I'd be moving into the Bolton Estate. He couldn't hide his excitement.

"Good, good. I think you're a wonderful person. Having you around at the estate will be nice. Besides, you and Carter have already registered your marriage, so we'll make sure to follow up with the proper ceremonies. We'll need to prepare a wedding house in advance. Do you have a place in mind?"
