Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 635 - 654: Grandfather and Grandson Heart-to-Heart Talk

"How old were you then?"

"Not very old, just seven years old. I wasn’t really aware of things. When I saw the email, I was very angry and went to question An Nan. She had no choice but to tell me everything. After she finished, she said just one thing, that no matter what, I’ll always be her son for life. After that, I didn’t ask anymore."

"So, what did you think then?"

"At first, I was very confused. Later, An Nan told me that nobody has a choice in their birth; the important thing is the path you take in the future. Eventually, I understood."

"Yeah, smart kid. Your mom is right; no one can choose their birth. Since it’s already like this, there’s no point in blaming or getting angry. Your worry was that we wouldn’t accept your mom because of you. Well, Grandpa can tell you now my attitude. I like you very much and am happy to be your grandfather in this life. Honestly, I feel really proud taking you out, your intelligence, sensibility, and kindness are things other kids don’t have. Grandpa’s expectation from you is just that you keep it up, okay?"

An Jiayou looked into the eyes of the person opposite him and nodded firmly: "I understand, Grandpa. I’ll take good care of you in the future."

"Great. Such a sensible child. How about playing a game of chess with Grandpa?"

An Jiayou didn’t immediately agree. Instead, he glanced towards the staircase with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Lin Ze smiled slightly and continued speaking, catching the other’s attention: "It’s okay, don’t worry, your Grandma and Great-grandma are with her. Your mom must have scared you today."

An Jiayou showed a trace of discomfort on his face, as this side of An Nan was indeed unfamiliar to him. Thinking of this, he first shook his head, then continued to nod.

Lin Ze wasn’t bothered. As he took out the chess set, he continued to speak with a smile: "Pregnant women are always moody and obsessively fret. She’s just having a hard time now, but she’ll come around after some sleep."

"Really, Grandpa? An Nan won’t be mad at me?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Don’t worry, she won’t be. If your mom is still mad, Grandpa will plead on your behalf."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa."

"Yeah, just saying ’thank you’ isn’t enough. Come play chess with Grandpa."

"Okay, Grandpa."

With the assurance of the Lin Family, An Nan and An Jiayou, this mother and son duo, finally began to lay down their inner unease and gradually start to feel at ease living in this family.

Lin Mubai had a busy day at the company. Just arriving home, his mom pulled him aside to tell him about the events of the day. After listening, he gratefully looked at the person in front of him: "Mom, thank you for your understanding. I always knew deep down there was a rift between Nannan and Jiayou. It was my fault for not handling things well. I knew it would erupt someday but didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. You and Grandpa must have been shocked today."

Lan Yiqing nodded without blaming him: "Yeah, it’s fine. Today, your Grandpa and the others made their position clear. When you go upstairs later, communicate well with your wife. We are family, harmony is the most important thing, and these are trivial matters."

"I understand, Mom. I’ll go check on An Nan now. Then we can come down for dinner together."
