Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 21

William and Jane had been married for six years and they rarely came to visit. Colin had forced his grandson, but there was no response.

Colin couldn't help but wonder if he had repaid the kindness in the wrong way. Some feelings might not be developed at all.

However, even if he was wrong, he had to continue this way. Jane had given birth to his great-grandson, so he wouldn't watch them divorce.

"Jane, William has come back from the company, but he is on the way to the kindergarten to pick Dayton up. He can get home by five o'clock. When they arrive, we will start dinner."

Colin was in a good mood. He pointed at the strings of firecrackers in the living room and smiled. "Let's set them off after dinner to rid your bad luck."

For a rich lady, there was no other greater whammy than being kidnapped for no reason. When Colin received the news, he was so appalled and angry that he almost died.

Fortunately, Jane was blessed by her ancestors and was fine.

"Jane, do you have ... dessert?"

After Colin finished speaking, he looked at Jane with puppy-dog eyes. During the time when Jane was hospitalized, she couldn't deliver dessert to him. It had been a long time since he had eaten it, and everything was tasteless to him.

"Grandpa, I haven't eaten dessert lately."

Jane shook her head. It was said that old men would be like children. Colin was a big shot when he was young, but when he got old, he became a different person.

Colin had mild diabetes and needed to control his blood sugar. Generally, he was not allowed to eat any dessert.

The female lead had always been soft-hearted and would agree to the old man's request. However, Jane would not. She had to take care of the old man's health.

Dessert was fine, but xylitol must be used to replace sugar and it may not be delicious.

"Alright."

Colin had a disappointed look.

"Grandpa, we have some xylitol. How about I make you mung bean cakes?"

In her previous life, besides being good at jewelry design, Jane was also good at cooking. She was born with a talent because she was too busy with her work and hadn't learned it systematically.

The mung bean cake was neither sweet nor greasy. It was refreshing and was suitable for both young and old. Though with xylitol in place of sugar, its taste will not be affected.

"You will make it for me? That's so good!"

Colin was easy to butter up. After hearing Jane's words, he smiled and rubbed his hands, looking expectant.

The Duncans had chefs, so normally, the female lead wouldn't cook. Jane recalled and found that the female lead didn't seem to have been in the kitchen much. She was a woman who rarely did chores.

The female lead would occasionally buy some groceries for the old man, but the family was rich, and the least important thing was money. The things she bought were all piled up in a small warehouse and had nowhere to be used.

Jane had a different view on filial piety from the female lead. For her, being with the elders was more important.

Colin was different from the patriarch of a wealthy family in her imagination. He treated the female lead very well and was someone Jane would cherish.

"Jane, it's getting late. There's no hurry to make mung bean cakes. Why don't you go to kindergarten to pick Dayton up?"

Colin suddenly had an idea. William and Jane were distant. He supposed that it was because they spent little time together.

Although Jane grew up in the Duncans, his grandson was always abroad. They just met each other a few times before getting married.

After marriage, his grandson was busy with work, and Jane was at home. They lived apart all year round.

The old man had brought this up a few times. William agreed on the surface, but he still followed his own way and would not come home unless there was a big festival like the Spring Festival.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Colin wanted them to be with Dayton. The first thing a Duncan had to learn was to get used to loneliness.
