Spoiled by the Silver Fox

After Sebastian's dad passed away, the only member of the Ingram clan who still remembered his birthday each year was his grandpa.

So, the birthday feast today was probably a result of grandpa's painstaking effort to gather everyone, despite their differences, in celebration of his birthday.

Sebastian just couldn't bring himself to let the old man down.

He nodded and said, "I'll leave after dinner."

"Where on earth are you rushing off to? Sitting down for a chat after dinner won't eat up much of your time."

"Grandpa, have you forgotten about my fiancée? She's waiting for me at home to celebrate my birthday."

"Oops, you're right, I totally spaced on that. You're not even married yet... I thought you'd have gotten tired of playing house by now."

Sebastian couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm not like you, grandpa. I've got more of my father's blood in me, so I don't fall in love with every girl I meet! You're still a playboy even in your old age!"

"Don't think you're off the hook because it's your birthday! How dare you talk back to me!"

"Am I not speaking the truth?"

"What do you know, kid? As you get older, you young folks only think about yourselves. Once you have your own family, who cares about us old folks? If it wasn't for Aaron's mom keeping me company, I'd be bored to death at home! So, for the sake of my dignity, stop giving people the cold shoulder. When your uncles arrive, you better show some respect, got it?"

Sebastian raised an eyebrow and said, "We'll see how I feel."

"Ha, are you trying to get me to give you a thrashing? Is that what you want?"

"Grandpa wouldn't hit me, at least not on my birthday. In your eyes, I've always been the poor, pitiful one."

"And you use that to wind me up!"

"But you know how much I respect you, grandpa. If there's anything left in the Ingram family that I care for, it's just you."

Hearing this, Jaxon fell silent for a

really harm your own family. Sebastian, life is tough... Everyone has their own trials and tribulations. You're not special or an exception. But no matter what, you have to keep going, right? Don't dwell on the past; it won't make you happy. Your grandmother's death hit me hard, too. Wasn't I also devastated, heartbroken, and lost? But life has to go on, right? What else can we do?

Remember, there are many different ways to live. As long as you're open to trying, you'll find what suits you and live a wonderful life Can't we all just get along?"

Jaxon has lived a long life, and there's hardly anything he can't see through.

Sebastian couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, is your current lifestyle comfortable for you?"

"It's not bad... As long as you young folks don't make a fuss, my retirement life is pretty relaxed. Aaron's mom is very sensible and saves me a lot of worries; that's why I brought her home."

"As long as you're comfortable, grandpa... Let's go down for dinner."
