The image of Jonathan kissing her while he cried flashed through Valerie’s mind, and her ears turned red.

She said timidly, “I do like him.”

It was just a shame she could not afford to like him.

Grandpa Sullivan noticed his granddaughter’s expression and realized she liked that guy, but she still did not say who he was. He asked, “Is he from a lowly status in society that you’ll have to provide for him in the future?”

Valerie, “…”

‘My dear grandpa, he isn’t from a lowly status.

‘Rather, his status is so high that, with a single sneeze, he can close down all our restaurants!’

Filled with complicated thoughts, Valerie could only steel her nerves and nod.

However, Grandpa Sullivan smiled lightly and said confidently, “That’s not a big problem. It’s not like the Sullivans can’t support him.”

Valerie, “…”

‘Grandpa, you’re overconfident!’

No matter how rich they were, they could not afford to support the first commander of the Empire!

Nonetheless, Grandpa Sullivan did not bring up this topic again. He took another sip of tea and said, “Our family is going to open a branch in the First District. If all goes as planned, the branch in the First District may be the largest of all the branches. Soon, you and Madeline are going to study at the Imperial Academy at the same time, and your dad intends to let her take over the restaurant.”

When Grandpa Sullivan said this, he observed Valerie’s expression.

Her face did not shift as she asked calmly, “His reason?”

“You’re not in good health, plus Madeline is more careful and dependable.”

Valerie laughed. “That sounds just like him. Grandpa, what do you think?”

Her perpetually calm demeanor gratified Grandpa Sullivan.

He had observed his granddaughter for a long time. Before, her body was indeed weak. After all, she was in a coma for five years. After that, she only stayed at home and seemed unconcerned about the outside world.

His eldest grandson would join the army in the future, his second grandson liked to sing and was involved in the entertainment industry all day long, and as for Madeline…

Grandpa Sullivan put the empty teacup in front of Valerie and said, “That girl, Maddy, is a fine person, but this restaurant belongs to the Sullivans.”

The implication was that he did not mind pampering and supporting Madeline, treating her well.

However, as an adopted daughter, she would not get the Sullivans’ restaurant.

Valerie was a little surprised, but it made sense.

Her grandpa was much more clear-headed than her father, Zachary. Otherwise, he would not have managed to open so many branches in several districts.

Valerie smiled. “Grandpa, if the branch in the First District is handed over to me, I will not disappoint you.”

“Alright, young Val, I’ll be keeping an eye on your performance.”

After Valerie came out of her grandfather’s study, she felt relaxed.

She knew before that her father was biased, but fortunately, her grandfather was on her side.

Still, when she thought about the whole issue with Jonathan, she got a headache again.

Looking at the name of her spouse next to her personal information on her SmartBit, Valerie’s heart clouded over at once.

How terrible!

He had not sent a single message, and Valerie felt as if the sword of Damocles was hanging above her head.

It was like being on pins and needles.

Just then, her SmartBit suddenly beeped, making her jump in fright.

She thought Jonathan was calling!

She hurried into her room, closed the door, and then checked her SmartBit.

When she saw the person’s name, her expression turned icy.

Then, she rejected the call with a wooden expression.

It was Isaac who was calling.

Valerie was now thinking about Jonathan, about starting classes soon, and about opening a branch in the First District.

She did not have time to deal with this potato!

Still, Isaac seemed extra stubborn and kept calling.

When he realized Valerie was not picking up, he sent a message.

Isaac: “Val, take the call. It’s about your family’s restaurant..”
