Ron Batton always kept a low profile as he preferred a peaceful and quiet life. He would never invite anyone to come over even on his birthday.

When Xyla Quest was staying with him, the two of them would spend his birthday together every year.

"Yeah. My son was here initially but he went back this morning after celebrating my birthday yesterday night." Ron said.

His son, who was her father-in-law...

As a matter of fact, she had never seen this man before in her life.

"Xyla? What are you thinking about?" Ron's eyes fixed on her face, attentive and brimming with curiosity.

Xyla gathered her thoughts immediately. "It's nothing..."

"Hold on. I'll boil the herbal medicine for you first before we have lunch. Let's have a little chat after lunch, okay?" Ron got up from the sofa right away, joy streaked through him like a comet.

Rising to her feet, Xyla pulled his wrist and argued, "Please don't make a fuss about it, Grandpa. I'm alright. Let's just dig in."

However, Ron pushed her hand away from his and headed straight to the kitchen. As he was walking to the kitchen, he demanded, "You just stay there alright. Don't follow me or I'll be mad." Xyla heaved a deep sigh in her helpless position. Having no other choices, Xyla simply sank into the sofa.
