Sebastian didn't utter a word; instead, he headed straight to his grandpa's study upstairs.
The call was from his grandpa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow that he was back, he figured he just had to butter up his grandpa a bit, and then he could bounce. Before coming over, Marilyn had mentioned that Stephanie would be back soon to celebrate his birthday. He didn't want her to wait too long.
In the study, Jaxon Ingram sat in front of his desk, looking a bit worn out.
The door was knocked and he said nonchalantly, "Cin." Knowing Sebastian was back, Jaxon didn't even raise his head.
Sebastian was quite patient; he waited for a while before finally starting, "You seem a bit off, grandpa. Wiped out?" Jaxon glared at him irritably. "Don't people age? The older you get, the more energy you lose!" "Grandpa, you seem... pretty fit... Living another decade or so, no problem." "Humph, you can't wait to get rid of me, huh! You've even picked up the art of sweet talking." Sebastian raised his brow and said, "You know what I think, grandpa... I'm definitely the one in this family who wishes you a long, healthy life the most. As for your sons and grandsons, that's another story." "Oh, you're trying to stir up trouble now, are you?" "Not at all." "Sebastian, did you run into those guys downstairs?" "Who are you referring to, grandpa?" "Mitchell! Look at him, a real catch... He's as tall as you now, and he's starting to look more like you. Doesn't that shake you up?" Sebastian's eyes cooled a bit. "What are you getting at, grandpa?" "He's your blood brother... You don't have to be cold to him. Whatever beef you have with his parents is your business, but he's innocent." "Heh... Are you standing up for Aaron Ingram after you just defended Mitchell?" "They're both Ingrams; what's the point in all this? I'm leaving everything to you because I trust your judgment. You may argue on the surface, but listen to my words Look at Aaron; he's doing well, isn't he? Even though he's learning to run a company, at least he's not causing trouble. As for Mitchell, he's back from studying abroad. I've been watching him these past few days; he's got potential. With your guidance, he could be your right-hand man." Sebastian sneered, "When my father was in power, my uncle was his right-hand man; what happened then? Sorry, grandpa... Once a traitor, always a traitor. ThatO includes their descendants.
"So you've completely written off Kamden? I'm not even dead yet!" Jaxon laughed out loud.

"Well, grandpa, you better hang in there. The issue at hand is our future.
