Chapter 62 Ronald's Bias Ronald had seen Bronte's photo and just wasn't feeling it. At first glance, her eyes screamed "schemer." How could Leon not see that? He knew Leon wasn't easily shaken. So why on earth would Leon admit to being engaged to Bronte? While Ronald was mulling this over, a ruckus erupted outside. Hearing the chatter of kids, he quickly got up, leaning on his cane, and headed out.
Sam had just hopped out of the car, with Barry and Flora standing obediently next to Tiffany.
Ronald's eyes widened in surprise, especially when he saw Flora's sweet little face. He felt an overwhelming urge to rush over and hug her.
Sam and Flora had never met Ronald before. Seeing him stare at Flora like that, Sam immediately went into protective big brother mode.
Tiffany's eyes flashed with surprise. She hadn't expected Ronald to show up. When she saw him, her eyes got a bit misty. She called out hoarsely, "Grandpa." Ronald nodded, giving her a kind look, his eyes full of warmth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeon walked over, and Ronald's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a look of disapproval. Tiffany took the chance to pull Sam and Flora over and explained who Ronald was. "Sam, Flora, that's your great-grandfather." The two blinked and carefully looked at Ronald, then sweetly called out, "Great-grandfather." "Ah, so good!" Ronald beamed and waved at the three kids. They obediently walked over.
Ronald patted Sam's head, then Barry's shoulder, and finally gently pinched Flora's cheek. "You're all so good and lovable." Ronald was over the moon and quickly led the three kids into the living room to give them the gifts he had prepared.
"Thank you, great-grandfather," the three kids said politely.
Afterward, Tiffany and Leon walked in quietly. Tiffany helped Ronald sit down, her eyes full of smiles. "Grandpa, why did you call this way?" Ronald stroked his beard, glared fiercely at Leon, and then smiled at Tiffany. "I cto see our wonderful great- grandchildren! Tiffany, you've worked so hard all these years. It must be tough raising the kids alone, right? You've done a great job. It's all Leon's fault!" As Ronald spoke, he didn't forget to glare at Leon again. Leon felt helpless. He knew that as soon as Ronald showed up, he'd get an earful.
Tiffany was also surprised by Ronald's appearance. After Jujia, Ronald's wife and Leon's grandmother, passed away, Ronald seemed to age several years overnight. After Jujia was buried, Ronald wanted to return to the countryside. Despite Leon's initial reluctance, Ronald insisted, so Leon had to send someone to take him back to the countryside. He stayed there for several years.
At that time, Tiffany was going abroad and thought she wouldn't see Ronald much anymore. She felt emotional for a long time, because after she married Leon, despite Leon's lukewarm attitude, Ronald and Jujia treated Tiffany very well, like their own granddaughter.
Tiffany smiled and took Ronald's arm, acting playfully like she used to. "Grandpa, I'm fine, and Sam and Flora are very well-behaved. Now that Barry is back with us, everything feels great. Grandpa, don't be angry anymore. If you get sick from being angry, we'll all be worried." Ronald was immediately charmed by Tiffany's words and his anger dissipated. With a warm smile, he turned his gaze to Leon.
"Tiffany, you're the sensible one, unlike someone who insists on bringing ha questionable woman." Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free.

"Engaged? With my permission? Leon! If you dare to get engaged to her, don't blme for turning against you!" Ronald's emotions had just calmed down, but mentioning Leon's engagement to Bronte got him all riled up again. He didn't want to hear Leon's explanation. He would never accept Bronte into the Cooper Family! The three kids had just put on the golden badges Ronald gave them, and they loved them. Hearing Ronald's words, their eyes lit up.
So, even if they didn't sabotage Leon's engagement party, with Ronald here, Leon wouldn't be able to marry that woman! Great! But before they could celebrate for long, Leon's next words made the atmosphere in the living room tense. "Grandpa, I will get engaged to Bronte. I will make this decision myself. If you want to stop me, I have nothing to say. But the engagement party news has already been released. Do you want others to laugh at the Cooper Family?" Tiffany knew that Leon's words were defending Bronte in front of Ronald. Hearing this, a pang of sadness hit her. Leon had never stood up for her in such a manner. It suddenly struck her just how stark the difference between love and indifference could be.
Ronald's grip on his cane tightened. He hadn't expected Leon to really want to get engaged At first, Ronald had thought Leon was deliberately causing trouble with Tiffany by getting engaged to someone else.
"In my heart, the position of granddaughter-in-law belongs only to Tiffany. If you bring another woman home, won't acknowledge her!" As ve soon as Ronald finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone's eyes turned to the door, where Bronte stood in a panic, the gifts she was holding falling to the ground. These were gifts she had specially bought for the kids, including dolls and action figures... Bronte knew Leon valued the kids, so she wanted to be good to them in front of Leon. But she hadn't expected to cto the Cooper Mansion today and run into Ronald. She had heard every word Ronald said.
Bronte squeezed out a few tears and looked at Leon with teary eyes, looking very aggrieved. "Leon, did I cat the wrong time?" Tiffany awkwardly touched her nose, while the three children watched the unfolding with looks of amusement.
Ronald despised people who pretended like this from the bottom of his heart. He could tell the tears were fake at a glance. Could Leon not see it? "Bronte, that's not what Grandpa meant," Leon said.
Hearing Leon's words, Ronald snorted coldly. Fine, his self-proclaimed smart grandson just couldn't see it.
Ronald didn't want to say more and didn't bother to look at Bronte. He happily took the three kids upstairs.
In the living room, only Tiffany, Leon, and Bronte were left. The three stood facing each other, and no one broke the awkward atmosphere first.
Tiffany thought that she had seen the kids today and was already satisfied. There was no need to stay any longer. Moreover, Leon would no longer stop her from seeing the kids in the future.
