Jase sat down, leaning on his cane, while Yusef stood by his side and handed him the coffee that had been prepared in advance. Jase took a small sip and set the cup down. “I hear you,” he said calmly. “My body can still hold up, so there’s no need for you all to worry.”
Ronald and Walter both sighed. At Jase’s age, still holding his position, rumors had started circulating that he was clinging to power, unwilling to let go, driven by a love of authority. But only these old friends knew the truth–Jase wasn’t concerned with power at all. He couldn’t let go of his duty to the country. It wasn’t as if his son, Jeremiah’s, position was in any way threatened. And with Jeremiah’s current standing, even if Jase were to step down, no one would dare touch the Chavez family.
Hearing those words, James remained silent, though his expression had softened quite a bit. However, Jase had already noticed his sour look from the moment he walked in. He turned his gaze to James and said, “What’s with the long face as soon as I walk in, old man? When did I ever offend you? Why the attitude, all grumpy and upset?” Ronald and Walter both turned to look at James, waiting to see how he would respond. All eyes were on him, anticipating his reaction.
James snorted, “Can’t I just dislike your face?”
Jase frowned. He had looked the same for decades, yet now James was acting like he couldn’t stand the sight of him. It seemed like the old man must’ve been chewing on gunpowder today. Back in their younger days, James had been jealous of his good looks, and even now, he was still pulling the same stunt.
James remained silent, not offering any further explanation.
Jase never expected that the resemblance he shared with Jeremiah–those similar eyebrows and eyes–would make James so unwelcoming toward him.
Seeing the tension between the two, Ronald quickly changed the subject. “Hey, did you hear that Jeremiah has a girlfriend now? Why didn’t you mention it, Jase?”
Walter nodded as well, “I’ve heard about this too. It seems like almost everyone in Betrico knows now. I never expected Jeremiah to actually have a girlfriend.”
James chimed in with a grumble. “That kid must have racked up some serious good karma in his last life to land such a great girlfriend.”
Ronald and Walter exchanged a glance, questioning the meaning behind James’s words. Given the Chavez family’s status and the fact that Jeremiah was such an exceptional young man, it was clear that anyone who ended up with him would be the one benefiting from good fortune.
Before they could ponder further, Jase furrowed his brow from the sofa and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
