âProbably,â Kevan replied, turning to glance at the mansion and letting out a soft sigh. My parents and several uncles have tried countless limes le convince him to move in with them, but he refuses to leave the room where he lived with my grandmother.â
There was, of course, an even more significant reason-his grandpa symbolized the ultimate power of Soaring Corporation. No matter which sonâs house he decided to reside in, it would raise suspicion and discontent among others.
However, Kevan had no intention of revealing these Intricate family faction struggles to Larissa.
She couldnât hrp but sigh and remark, âThere arenât many men left in this world as loyal as your grandpa!â
He locked into her eyes, almost saving. âYou forgot about me.â but ultimately chose to remain sient
âyou want to stay, then stay.â He pretended to turn back
Larissa quickly grasped his hand. âForget it. Grandpa might already be in bed. When we come back next time, letâs make sure to stay and keep him company!â
Kevan smiled faintly. âAlright.â
As they made their way back to the hotel they continued their conversation. âDo you like my grandpa Regardless, he already had a good idea of her answer to this question.
âYeah, of course,â she candidly expressed her true feelings. âHonestly, when I first saw him, I thought he would be difficult to get along
with!
âHe can indeed be quite difficult.â He didnât spare ary face for his own grandpa. âHe has a quick temper, if things donât go his way, heâll get angry. Iâve endured many beatings from him since I was a child. Iâve even broken countless canes of his.â
âReally?â She couldnât reconcile the person he described with the grandpa she had just met. âAre you serious? Youâre not joking, are you?â âWhy would I joke about that with you? Kevar chucked. He has toned it down quite a bit in front of you. I guess he really likes you.â Larissa blushed, feeling shy upon hearing that âWel, he likes me because he likes you. Itâs like love me, love my dog.ââ
Although there may be some truth to that Kevan could tell that his grandpa genuinely liked Larissa as a person, not just as his daughter-in -law. After al, his male cousins were all married and had children, yet his grandpa didnât show the same warmth toward their wives as he did toward Larissa.
Regardless, even if his parents harbored any dissatisfaction with Larissa he was no longer afraid.
Having his grandpaâs support gave him the confidence he needed. In fact that was the main reason he had brought Larissa to meet his grandpa.
Kevan accompanied Larissa all the way to her room and settled on the sola, showing no intention of leaving.
Seeing that it was getting late, she finally ran out of patience to continur lingering with him.
âArenât you going home?â she asked.
He appeared somewhat surprised by her question. âWhat home? he countered.
âOf course, your own home! Are you planning to sleep here?â
He nodded. âYes, I plan to sleep here, and Ill stay here for the next two weeks.â
She was at a loss for words. âBut you have a home in Bartham. Why donât you go there?â
âItâs too much of a ha ssle and not cost-effective to have someone clean the house last because fl be staying there for two weeks,â he explained. This was typical of Kevan, being a successful businessman and always calculating the pros and cons of his actions.
âItâs more convenient to stay at the hotel where thereâs daily housekeeping. But..â
He narrowed his eyes and called the front desk, âAsk the housekeeping stall to come and clean the room.â
The front desk stall naturally accommodated the quests in the presidential sulte.

However, Larissa found it peculiar. âWhy have someone come to clean now? Isnât the room already clean?â
Moreover, they had just checked in today and hadnât spent more than two hours in the room.
He frowned. âI donât trust the housekeeping here.â
