Chapter 0292

As Candice returned she heard Alex’s words. She paused at the door for a moment before she pushed it open and entered.

Seeing her return, the old man passed a menu over. “Candy, why don’t you take a look and see what you’d like to eat?”

Candice did not decline. She ordered two dishes but when they were having their meal, she did not have much of an appetite.

On the other hand, the old man was In a good mood and ate quite a bit. It was only when Candice was worried that he might have indigestion that she stopped him from eating more.

He looked at Candice, who barely touched her food. “Candice, is the food not to your liking?” he asked, concerned. “It’s my fault. I ordered according to my own taste.”

“It’s not that,” Candice assured him. “I’ve been wanting to watch my figure recently, but the food is delicious.”

The old man’s expression turned stern, as he said in displeasure. “You’re already so thin, there’s no need to watch your figure. It doesn’t look good. A young girl should eat more for good health.”

Under his supervision, Candice reluctantly drank half a bowl of soup.

After finishing the meal, the old man felt sleepy and wanted to go home to rest.

Reluctant to part with Candice, he said, “Candy, I won’t be leaving Dorrington anymore after coming back. You should come and spend time with me when you are free. I like your personality. unlike Lex, who always makes me angry.”

Candice allowed him to hold her hand and whispered, “I will, Grandpa.”

When they were leaving, the old man signaled to the caregiver, who came over with the bag containing the emerald jewelry. “Miss Renault, this is a gift from the old gentleman,” the caregiver said. “He specifically went to Anderes to choose this gift. If you refuse, he’ll be very disappointed.” At this point, even though Candice wanted to refuse, it was almost impossible for her to do so. She could only accept it hesitantly and prepare to find a time in the future to return it to the old

man.

Seeing that she accepted the jewelry, the old man, leaning on his cane, slowly approached.

With a serious expression, he reminded Alex. “Lex, you brought Candy here, so you’re responsible for sending her back home.”
