Chapter 306 Support My Candidate

Day Thirty-Six...

~~*****~~

[ At Ancestral Mansion of Xu Family... ]

Weekend! Ethan had no class today, so he visited his grandfather. Old Man Xu had been waiting for his grandson to arrive. He asked the Chef to prepare and cook Ethan's favorite food.

Old Man Xu was excited to bond with his adorable grandson today. The chess board was already arranged on the top of the table on the balcony. He was leisurely sitting on his chair while putting the chess pieces on the board.

He often played chess with his grandson. This was one of their playtime activities whenever Ethan visited his place. Old Man Xu turned to the entrance gate when he heard the sound of the car approaching.

His lips curled up into a gentle smile as soon as he recognized the vehicle. His grandson finally arrived!

"Grandpa!" Ethan called his grandfather, waving his hand as he alighted from the car.

"My dear grandson, come!" Old Man Xu stood up from his seat and welcomed his grandson with a warm hug. The young boy embraced him and kissed his right cheek.

Old Man Xu carried Ethan as he returned to the balcony. He gently put him down and stroked his hair. "I missed you, my adorable grandson. Did you miss this old man too?"

Ethan moved his head up and down. "Of course, grandpa. I missed you, that's why I'm here."

Old Man Xu chuckled gleefully hearing his grandson's reply. "Wait here. I will get your favorite snacks."

Old Man Xu was about to leave when Ethan stopped him. "Grandpa, just stay here with me. Don't leave. Just let Uncle Jorge get the snacks." Ethan was referring to the head butler who was standing near the door.

Old Man Xu could only watch his grandson with amusement. He could tell that his grandson was happy as he described the woman. He became more interested in the woman Ethan was referring to.

"Hmm. Now, I'm excited to meet her," Old Man Xu blurted out with a broad smile on his face.

But then again, Ethan didn't miss this opportunity to confront his grandfather. "Grandpa, did you introduce my Dad to another woman? I heard he had a date tonight."

Old Man Xu scratched his face and smiled at his grandson sheepishly. He suddenly felt guilty. He didn't know what to say.

"Grandpa, If I win, I want you to support my candidate to be my Dad's wife. Don't introduce him to other women," Ethan proclaimed with conviction.

"Grandson... Honestly, your grandpa had a situation. Please don't be upset with me if I set him up with another woman tonight. It's just that... there is a scheming old man who is blackmailing your grandpa. I had no choice but to introduce the daughter of that scheming old man to your dad."

"But don't worry. I will not allow him to marry that woman... It's just that your Dad and I had a deal. Your Dad is helping this grandpa of yours to buy me some time." Old Man Xu explained the situation to his grandson. He could sense that his grandson was unhappy knowing that his Dad was having a dinner date tonight with another woman.

Little Ethan fell silent for a moment. He was assessing his grandpa's expression, analyzing if he was lying or not. When he confirmed that his grandpa was telling the truth, Ethan's face brightened up.

"Okay, Grandpa. I understand. I won't get mad or upset with you. But promise me... you will support the woman whom I want my Dad to marry!"

"Of course. I will do that. You always have my support, my dearest grandson! You have my word. By the way, who is the woman?"

"You already met her, grandpa. It's Miss Abi... Abigail Scarlett!"

Old Man Xu: "..."

'Eh? That woman? The woman who almost killed my son because of her cooking?!'
