Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Grandma Jennings Is Just Like a Parent Worried About Her Troubled Child

After Selena Kensington told Hugh Kensington about the Jennings family’s matters, Hugh did not react impulsively.

At that time, Selena knew he understood thoroughly.

Grandma Jennings, however, shook her head slightly.

"It’s one thing for you to understand, but the Jennings family indeed owes you too much."

Grandma Jennings sighed slightly.

"In the days to come, making even a small amends will be something."

Upon hearing Grandma Jennings say this, Selena did not continue the conversation.

The two strolled leisurely in the courtyard in front of the main house for a while, then prepared to return.

As they approached the impressive main gate of the house, they saw Hugh pulling up in his car at the entrance.

"Hugh has arrived,"

Selena raised her brows slightly and said to Grandma Jennings beside her.

Grandma Jennings gazed over calmly and kindly.

Hugh got out of the car.

Upon seeing Grandma Jennings beside Selena, his steps suddenly halted.

A flash of shock and longing appeared in his eyes.

But afterwards, without any hesitation, he ran over.

Hugh ran over, and Grandma Jennings, as if sensing something, looked towards him.

Then Hugh gently embraced Grandma Jennings.

Aware of not squeezing her too tightly, he didn’t use much force.

"Grandma..."

Hugh’s voice was somewhat choked.

At this moment, his usual composed and calm demeanor was gone.

He showed a hint of what someone his age might express.

Previously, Hugh met Grandma Jennings rarely.

Selena could visit the Jennings family every year, and after Hugh was born, he also went for a few years.

But later, Hugh stopped going.

Whenever Hugh visited, it was Grandma Jennings who took care of him.

Because Grandma Jennings felt guilty for not being able to spend much time with her grandson, whenever Hugh came, she would take him to play.

Thus, young Hugh was very affectionate towards Grandma Jennings.

These affectionate feelings were sealed away due to the disappearance of the Jennings family.

Now, upon seeing Grandma Jennings again, especially when her appearance hadn’t changed much,

The moment Hugh saw her, it felt as if yesterday Grandma Jennings was still holding him on her lap.

For a moment, Hugh couldn’t hold back, and his emotions were revealed.

Grandma Jennings let Hugh hug her, and after a while, she gently patted his back.

In a soft soothing voice, as if comforting a child.

"There, there..."

Selena quietly watched this scene from the side without saying anything.

When Hugh’s emotions stabilized, he ended the hug.

Selena saw Hugh’s slightly red eyes, chuckled quietly, "Still crying at your age, huh?"

She said in a teasing manner.

Hugh inherited the good genes of Julian Jennings. Even with slightly red eyes, his handsomeness was undeniable.

Especially today, wearing casual clothes without the usual formal attire, adding a touch of youthful vitality.

Hugh glanced at his teasing sister, let out a light hum.

Indicating he didn’t want to bother with Selena.

Selena didn’t mind, she spoke just to lighten the atmosphere.

Grandma Jennings laughed and took Hugh’s arm, "Come, let’s go inside and talk."

Selena, enviously said, "Grandma, I want to too."

Grandma Jennings laughed, taking Selena’s arm as well, "All together, together."

"All of Grandma’s good grandchildren."

Selena was finally satisfied.

Then Grandma Jennings, with an arm wrapped around each grandchild’s arm, walked into the main house.

Since it was a reunion of the three generations, the servants in the main house brought tea and then withdrew.

Leaving the space for the three of them.

After sitting down on the sofa, Grandma Jennings began chatting with her two grandchildren.

Grandma Jennings already had a general understanding of Selena’s condition.

So the main focus was on Hugh.

"How have you been lately?"

"Are there any issues with your studies?"

"And love life? Are you dating anyone?"

"Grandma isn’t against you dating, you’re twenty now, it’s time to consider it..."

"Didn’t your mother start dating your father around this time too, sigh..."

Grandma Jennings babbled on, seemingly tireless.

One question after another aimed at Hugh.

"..."

Hugh was stunned on the spot.

Since when has Grandma become so talkative?

In Hugh’s memory, Grandma was always a kind, calm person.

Now she seemed like a parent concerned about a troubled child.

Hugh hesitated for a moment, deciding to look over to Selena sitting beside Grandma Jennings for help.

Clearly, Selena was also surprised by Grandma Jennings’ words for a second.

Then she subtly laughed.

Hugh guessed that she was likely mocking him.

When Selena noticed Hugh’s look, she gave him a helpless glance.

"..."

Typical! Hugh gritted his teeth silently.

When Grandma Jennings had almost finished her questioning, he cautiously answered, "Grandma, I’ve been quite well recently."

"No issues in studies or career, currently Stardust’s operations are stable, I rarely have to step in."

Most times Hugh went to Stardust was because major projects required his decision-making.

And Aethelgard Media University was aware of Hugh’s identity, coupled with the university’s openness and freedom.

For special talents, they provide conveniences.

Plus, Hugh is very smart. He can self-study many subjects in advance.

So Hugh rarely felt pressured by studies and career. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Grandma Jennings continued her query, "And what about your love life? Are you dating anyone?"

Under Grandma Jennings’ spirited gaze, Hugh nodded slightly, "...Yes."

Grandma Jennings’ eyes brightened, her spirit renewed.

She eagerly asked, "Which family’s girl is she? What does she do? What stage are you at?"

It was understandable why Grandma Jennings was so excited.

Having missed giving sibling duo nearly ten years of familial love, upon seeing Hugh, she couldn’t help but ask more.

Fearing Hugh might face difficulties.

As for Selena, she’s already married and has a child now.

Grandma Jennings was very pleased and reassured with Sterling Norwood.

Seeing Selena’s happily fulfilled life, she naturally didn’t ask much about Selena.

Thus, she shifted her focus to solving her grandson’s lifelong matters.

"..."

At this moment, Hugh was like a child being urged by a parent to get married.

Beside him, Selena seemed finally to have a conscience.

Gently said, "Grandma, don’t make things difficult for Hugh, I think he might have been scared by your questions."

"Let me tell you about it."

Grandma Jennings took a closer look, seeing a hint of bewilderment on Hugh’s face.

She paused, her excited expression softening, "Grandma was too hasty..."

She looked apologetically at Hugh.

Now all that Grandma Jennings hoped for was the siblings to find someone and live peacefully.

So hearing Hugh having a partner, she inevitably got a bit excited.

Hugh shook his head slightly, whispered, "It’s fine. I was just a little caught off guard."
