After the manager left the room, Be finally had the courage to start the conversation with Tristan.

"You can ask anything you want, Tristan."

Tristan stared at her with a smile. "What is our..." He paused when his phone vibrated. When he saw the caller, he looked at Be with an apologetic gaze. "I’m sorry, but I must pick up this phone first. Do you mind?"

She shook her head, "Sure, go ahead."

Tristan answered while his eyes were still on her, "Grandpa!? Why did you call?"

Suddenly, Be became nervous upon realizing that the caller was Lewis Sinir. She lowered her gaze and listened to their conversation in silence.

"BRAT! You know I’m back in town, but you don’t wee me?" Lewis Sinir snapped. "Why did you cancel our dinner ns without telling me? You have to give me a good reason why you canceleding here..." Lewis Sinir’s voice sounded so loud from the other end that Be could hear it clearly.

Tristan opened his mouth to speak, but Lewis spoke again, "This is why I don’t want to return. Because you weren’t sincere in asking me toe back!"

Tristan put the phone away from his ears. His Grandpa’s voice was so loud it made his ears hurt.

"Hello... Tristan Sinir... are you there? Why didn’t you answer me?"

"Grandpa, how can I speak if you don’t give me a chance!?" Tristan was amused hearing his Grandpa venting his anger.

Be pretended to look at her cell phone but actuallyughed silently at their conversation.

Lewis cleared his throat before saying, "Why did you suddenly cancel toe to my house? Are you more concerned about meeting other people than your grandfather?" His annoyance was still clearly heard in the tone of his old hoarse voice.

"Grandpa, my date tonight is also the most important person," Tristan smiled, hearing his own words. He couldn’t believe he had said that when Be sat opposite him.

’You are so bold, man...’ He chuckled inwardly. However, his smile vanished as he felt a pair of sharp eyes fixed on him.

Tristan turned to look at Be and was taken aback by the intensity of her gaze. He rested his back against the chair and rubbed his forehead with one hand while avoiding eye contact with her.

"Stop talking about dating. Why do you keep meeting women who are only interested in your wealth and power?" Lewis asked, feeling angry. He was getting tired of reading news about Tristan’s girlfriends. If this Brat didn’t stop now, Be would never return to like him.

"Did you know your reputation out there is getting worse? Almost all media andizens say you are a Cassanova! And that is NOT apliment, young man!" Lewis continued.

Tristan was speechless. He couldn’t let his grandfather talk about something that wasn’t true.

"Grandpa, please stop reading gossip news. Alright, I will call youter. My date is hungry..." He said while smiling at Be, who was still ring at him.

"Who? Who is the woman you are having dinner with?" Lewis asked curiously.

Tristan couldn’t help but take a deep sigh. He leaned closer to Be and whispered, "Can I tell him?"

Be didn’t have a choice. She could only nod while scolding herself for meeting him now. If she knew he had a dinner n with his Grandpa, she would have set another day to meet him.

"I’m dating your granddaughter-inw..." Tristan’s voice sounded cheerful. But Be felt like she wanted to disappear from that ce. She couldn’t believe this shameless Tristan could say that before his grandfather.

Be, "...."

"Can you add ’EX’ before granddaughter? Or would just saying my name be nicer?" Be wanted to say that, but hearing Lewis’s response made her even more speechless.

"Hahaha… Brat, I don’t believe you. There’s no way Be will meet you today; she justnded in the capital and doesn’t have time to meet you. You must be trying to lie to me, right?"

Tristan took a deep breath. "Grandpa, how could I lie to you? I’m not lying. I’m having dinner with Be now." He tried to convince his Grandpa.

"You can video call me to make me believe," Lewis said and ended the call.

Be, "..."

Tristan gazes apologetically at Be.

"It looks like we need to make a video call. You know Grandpa will bother us again if we don’t do that now..." Tristan said, feeling sorry to her for his grandfather’s unreasonable request. "You don’t mind, right?"

Be could only answer him through her gaze — do whatever you want.

It was toote to run away from this ce. She had fallen into this man’s trap. Earlier, heid his trap nicely; he called her his wife in front of other people and gave her his ck card. And now, he addressed her as a granddaughter-inw in front of his grandfather without hesitation.

Gosh!

Be emptied a ss of water to moisten her suddenly dry throat, preparing herself for the video call with Lewis Sinir. When Tristan offered her his cell phone, she smiled upon seeing Lewis on the screen.

"Hello Grandpa..." She greeted him politely.

"Oh, Be... Is that you? Hahaha... So Tristan is actually meeting you today?" Lewis’s voice sounded excited, causing Be to feel embarrassed. "Be, thank you for giving my good-for-nothing grandson a chance."

Tristan, "..."

Be felt a bit awkward.

"This time, you can make him suffer first before epting him. And if he ignores you or makes you sad again, you must tell me. I’ll teach him a lesson if he does that!"

Tristan immediately cleared his throat to stop his Grandpa from continuing his words, "Grandpa—"

Be felt puzzled. Why did Grandpa Lewis seem to think she and Tristan would be getting back together?

"Okay, I won’t disturb your date. My dear Be... enjoy your time," Lewis said with a wide smile. She returned his smile, even though she was confused about what had happened now.

"Be, please give the phone to Tristan." After Tristan took his cell phone, Lewis warned him, "Brat, do NOT mess with Be. If you even slightly upset her this time, I wille to you and break your leg MYSELF!"

Before Tristan could say anything, Lewis ended the call.
