Leroy was Zayden’s grandpa, and he had been waiting at the front gate early to greet him.
As soon as Norman got out of the car, he eagerly approached, “Norman, you really are fortunate, aren’t you?”
Norman coldly snorted, hearing the sarcasm in his tone. “Speak properly. Zayden is here.”
Zayden led the two of them inside the house, and he casually chimed in with a few appropriate comments. “I’ll forget about it soon.”
The two old men went inside, chatting and laughing about recent events.
Suddenly, Leroy’s tone shifted as he seriously said, “Do you remember Leo McKins?”
At the mention of the name, the smile on Norman’s face faded, and he frowned in displeasure. “Why bring up that b*stard? Things were going fine.”
It was surprising to see that even after decades, Norman still hated Leo so much.
Leroy understood that even if they were both in their coffins, they would never forgive each other, but since this matter was related to Quinn, he had no choice but to tell Norman.
“I’ve heard news about him recently.”
Norman took a gulp of coffee, and just the thought of that face made him feel disgusted.
After calming down for a while, he finally said, “What news? If it has nothing to do with me, then don’t bother telling me.”
Leroy added more coffee to his cup. “Of course, it has something to do with you. If it didn’t, I wouldn’t be bringing it up. Not long ago, Quinn came into contact with an old man to save you.”
Norman tensed up, his eyes widening with suspicion. “That old man wouldn’t be Leo, would it?”
Leroy nodded.
Norman immediately stood up with his cane, looking anxious to rush outside. “No, I need to go back and check on Quinn. How dare Leo try to get involved with my granddaughter? I’ll make sure he regrets it!”
“Sit down first. Anyway, Leo put in a lot of effort as well, so you’re fine here drinking coffee”
Leroy shot Norman a look of exasperation and sighed. Among their generation, Norman was the most impatient.
Leroy then told him everything about Quinn’s situation. Norman, who was on the verge of the grave, had tears in his eyes and fell silent for a while.
“That poor girl.”
“That’s why you need to take care of yourself now. Your life isn’t just your own anymore.”

Leroy slammed the table in agreement. “Keep that shocked expression. When my grandson first told me about this, I looked the same. After some investigation, I found out the director of the orphanage is Leo’s close friend!”
Norman grabbed the key point. “You mean Timothy Scott, the director of Joylight Orphanage? He has such good intentions? He helped Quinn?”
Leroy looked as if he had seen a ghost. “You mean to tell me you didn’t know that? Where do you think Quinn was taken from? You, as her grandpa, didn’t know?”
“Back then, it was my daughter–in–law who took her. How would I know? I was too busy doting on my granddaughter.”
The two of them exchanged words, and long–buried memories from their adult lives resurfaced,
After a moment of contemplation, Norman seemed to recall something.
“The issues from our generation are already settled. We’re old now–why still dwell on them? Since he doesn’t hold any ill will toward Quinn, let’s not pass the weight of our generation’s problems onto the kids.”
Leroy thought the same, which was why when Zayden asked him about their relationship, he had said nothing.
After a while, Norman remembered something.
“What about the previous engagement? Does it still stand? Although the Fairchild family’s status can’t compare to the Grant family now, you can see how outstanding Quinn is.”
Leroy nodded solemnly and patted his chest. “Of course, our relationship doesn’t need to be stated again.”
Thinking back to Quinn’s resistant expression, Norman felt a headache coming on.
“What did your grandson do to make Quinn so angry?”
Leroy felt a headache coming on too, knowing this matter couldn’t be avoided.
Reluctantly, he told Norman everything he knew while trying to calm him down. “It’s already happened, so calm down!”
Calm down? How could anyone calm down after something like this?
As expected, upon hearing the news, Norman was livid, his face turning red. He slammed his hand on the table, making the coffee cup bounce.
Norman erupted in fury, pointing a finger at Leroy. “Leroy, is this the kind of grandson you raised? Is my granddaughter not good enough for your grandson? Fine! Let’s forget this engagement! Who hasn’t heard of my reputation? How dare anyone treat my precious granddaughter like this?”
