Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1620

Seeing that both his cool Grandpa and Grandma had eaten his grapes, Joey happily clapped his hands together. Completely unafraid, the little boy set his bamboo basket down and began awkwardly scrambling up onto the leather sofa, grunting with effort as he tried to squeeze himself right next to Jared.

Watching him struggle, Jared shifted his body slightly, his hand instinctively reaching out to support the little boy's back. The moment Joey settled firmly onto the cushions, he tilted his head back and unleashed a barrage of questions.

"Cool Grandpa, where did you come from? Cool Grandpa, what is your name? Cool Grandpa, do you know how to fight monsters?"

His questions were innocent, entirely random, and endless, yet Jared did not show a single hint of impatience. He leaned in slightly, answering every single question with incredible patience. For the first time, a look of helpless yet indulgent amusement graced his normally severe face.

Emmy walked over and sat down beside James, silently observing Jared the entire time. She realized that in the presence of these bright, energetic little lives, the domineering and authoritarian aura surrounding the powerful man completely vanished. In its place was nothing but the softness of a normal grandfather doting on his grandchildren. Watching this scene unfold, the tight knot of anxiety in Emmy's chest loosened slightly. Perhaps she and James really could convince him to give up the idea of taking the children away.

With that thought, she shot a few more glances in Cadence's direction. She knew that Cadence's words held a lot of weight with Jared, and she desperately hoped she would continue to take her side today. As if sensing her gaze, Cadence turned her head and offered Emmy a warm, reassuring smile.

A moment later, Dolly, who had been lounging in James's lap, decided she could no longer sit still while watching her brother and cool Grandpa chat so happily. The little girl slid off her father's lap and trotted over to join the fun.

Now, the two little chatterboxes were united. Full of curiosity about this imposing grandfather, they fired off question after question, chirping like birds. Eventually, Jared actually seemed to develop a slight headache from the noise. He raised a hand to rub his temples, yet the smile on his lips refused to fade.
