Chapter 1394
Jayden asked, "Karen Joy, Grandpa is here too?"
When Jayden's parents brought him back to Chatterton Town when he was in a coma, his grandfather, Hale Kyle, was away. Even until when Jayden had left for Madison City, Jayden still did not get to meet him. The moment Jayden heard that Hale was here, he was extremely excited.
Karen Joy nodded. "Since we're all here, of course Grandpa would come along too."
"Mom, you guys chat away. I'll take Silvia to see Grandpa first." After greeting the elders, Jayden then dragged Silvia along to the living room.
However, Silvia was not keen to meet Hale at all. She said, "Jayden, let go of me first. Could you please let me prepare myself before meeting your grandfather?"
Jayden stopped and looked at Silvia, who was hesitating, "Grandpa loves me very much. Now that you've become my wife, it means that he's your grandfather too. Why do you have to be mentally prepared to meet your own grandpa?"
Silvia faltered. "But I'm a little scared."
Jayden laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? I thought you're fearless? How could I be scared of an old man? Are you afraid that he will eat you?"
Jayden was just joking, but Silvia actually nodded. "All the men in the Kyle family are so cold, and even Julien, at this young age, is the same too. Every time I see them, I would always be at a loss. I really don't know how to get along with them. Now that the person you're going to take me to see is the person with the highest seniority in your family. He's also the person you respected the most. I'm worried that I'l be too nervous that I start blabbering and ruin your image."
Silvia's reasoning was ridiculous yet funny. Jayden reached out his hand and poked her forehead. "Alas, you look smart but why can't you just use your brain to think, huh?"
Silvia glared at him. "Stop criticizing me."
Jayden once again held her hand and said, "My grandfather is a friendly old man. He really loves me, and he has been waiting for me to bring my wife to meet him. He will be delighted to see you. Why would he scare you?"
Silvia was still unwilling to enter the house. "Jayden, you still don't understand what I mean, do you? I'm not saying that he's going to scare me, but it's the aloofness of the men in this family that stops me from getting too close to them."
"Oh... I never knew that my granddaughter-inlaw actually thinks that the men in this family are terrifying." A slightly old but loud voice sounded in Silvia's ears. She looked up and saw an old man in his sixties standing at the door in front of her and looking at her with a smile.
Needless to say, this man was Jayden's grandfather. He had grey hair and a friendly smile on his face. As Silvia looked at him, she could not see even a trace of aloofness on him. He even gave off the vibe which made Silvia feel that he was her grandfather instead.
Jayden immediately spoke up for Silvia. "Grandpa, Silvia didn't mean anything bad. She's just worried that you won't like her, so she was feeling a little uneasy."
Grandpa Kyle said, "Girl, you are Jayden's wife. If he likes you, the whole family will too, including me."
Grandpa Kyle was completely different from what Silvia had imagined. He was speaking to her in a joking tone, which definitely eased Silvia's anxiety.
Now that Silvia was feeling much more relaxed, she smiled sweetly and said, "Nice to meet you, Grandpa! I'm Silvia. I'm really happy to see you!"
"Okay, okay... Silvia, I'm also very happy to finally see you." Grandpa Kyle laughed heartily, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. It was because he had thought of his late wife.
He knew that he should not have any grievous thoughts on such a happy day, but when he finally saw his granddaughter-in-law, he could not help but think about it. He said inwardly to his deceased wife, "Rana, I've finally met our granddaughter-in-law. She's an adorable young lady. You don't have to worry about Jayden anymore."
Before Rana died, she had been looking forward to meeting her granddaughter-in-law. Now that Hale had finally met Silvia, he thought that Rana would probably be happy too.
The arrival of the Kyle family had livened up the atmosphere in West Side.
Mia and Levi were the most active ones among them all. They would run and jump around the house. In short, there was not a time that they were seen being quiet.
Neil was a respected man in the military, but Mia was not scared of him at all. Most importantly, he doted on Mia and he would let her do whatever she wanted to do.
Therefore, whenever Mia was playing around with Levi, he would usually go over to Kevin Kyle to play chess or have a chat with him. He thought that it would be better for him not to watch them so that he would not get annoyed.
Julien, on the other hand, maintained his usual aloof character. When everyone was chatting around, he would sit on one side by himself, holding a book in his hands.
No one knew if he was really reading a book or was he coming up with some tricks to plot against Levi.
As for Karen and Lionel, they had been married for several months now, but they are still in the honeymoon phase. Whenever they were together, they would be holding hands. They were inseparable as if they were glued to each other.
Karen was the busiest among them all. It was New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. However, there were no decorations in the house at all. It didn't feel like the New Year was just around the corner. Judging from the interior of the house, Karen could imagine how miserable Jayden's life had been during the past New Year's. Perhaps, he had never celebrated the New Year's when he was in Madison City. After walking around the house, Karen immediately asked the helpers to pick up some New Year's decorations from the store. When the decorations were here, Karen started decorating the entire house with Karen Joy and Silvia.
Looking at the decorations, Silvia was very satisfied. "Mrs. Kyle, you're such a hands-on person. It just seems like there's nothing you can't do. The house does look much cozier with the decorations." Karen smiled and said, "This is the charm of a home and a family, because when a family is together, no matter what we do, it will definitely warm up our hearts.
Silvia nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that's right."
Karen said again, "Thanks, Silvia!"
Silvia was somewhat puzzled. "Mrs. Kyle, why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"
Karen smiled and said, "Thank you for coming into Jayden's life. Thank you for staying by his side. Thank you for giving him the courage to love someone."
Mrs. Kyle, do you really think I would have such a great influence on him?" Upon hearing Karen's words, Silvia was over the moon. However, she did not dare to believe that she would have such a big influence on Jayden.
