The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 5 Hayden Backs Her Up

Hayden was rocking a suit, leaning on a cane, and talking with so much energy that you'd never guess he was pushing eighty.

When Allison spotted Hayden, she rushed over, saying, "Grandpa, don't get mad!"

Seeing Allison being so thoughtful just made Hayden even more upset.

"Listen up, Allison's my granddaughter, and this is her home. No one kicks her out without my say-so! If either of you tries it again, you're both out!" Hayden's cane hit the ground with a loud thud, and Yasmin still looked pretty ticked off. She complained, "Grandpa, you're just playing favorites. Allison did some really shameless stuff, why should she stay at the Bennett Villa?"

"Because she's my granddaughter, and I'm the head of the Bennett Family!" Hayden's fierce tone brought tears to Allison's eyes.

The only person in the world who was good to her and trusted her no matter what was Hayden.

Turning to Allison, Hayden expressed, "Allison, it's been five years, and I've missed you so much! You always make me worry!"

Allison sniffled, noticing Hayden's hunched back and white hair. He'd aged so much in five years.

"Sorry, Grandpa, I'm back now." Allison's sweet demeanor finally made Hayden smile.

He felt even more heartache for Allison, who had gone to Avalon City alone before even finishing middle school, with no one to look after her.

Hayden's heart ached, and he held Allison's hand tightly. "Why didn't you tell me back then? No matter what others said five years ago, I always believed you! If anyone bullies you again, just tell me, and I'll break their legs!" Hayden's words finally made Allison feel the warmth of family.

"Grandpa, thank you for believing in me!" Allison said. Only family who truly cared for you would believe in you unconditionally.

"Since when did you get so polite with me? Jonah, go check if Allison's room is ready and bring her luggage back!"
