On the Day I Was Kicked Out of the Wealthy Family, I Had a Flash Marriage with a Tycoon Chapter 11: What a Good Granddaughter-in-Law

Editor: Henyee Translations

Jasper’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen—it was a call from Old Master Lockwood. He answered, "Hello, Grandpa."

The old master’s resonant voice bood through the phone. "You brat, when are you going to bring my granddaughter-in-law over for to take a look at!"

Jasper said, "I’ll when she has ti."

"When she has ti? Since when did you beco so easygoing? Jasper, did you get into a sham marriage just to trick out of my shares? Let tell you, just being married for two years isn’t enough. You have to give a little great-grandson, too."

It was no wonder the old master was skeptical. Jasper was famous for being cold, domineering, and ruthless. Sotis, he wouldn’t even give face to his own old man.

Jasper replied calmly, "You’re overthinking it. I’ve told you before, you can give your shares to whover you wish. I don’t care about them."

He had never cared about those shares, and his marriage to Chloe had nothing to do with them.

He had simply wanted to marry her. He’d wanted to from the very first mont he saw her.

After a few seconds of silence, the old man asked in surprise, "So you really like this girl?"

Jasper said, "Grandpa, it’s late. You should get so sleep."

Old Master Lockwood replied, "What’s wrong? Are you too shy to admit it?"

Jasper said, "Get so sleep. I’ll bring her to see you as soon as I can."

"You said that a month ago! How about tomorrow? If you two don’t co here tomorrow, I’ll visit you guys." With that, Old Master Lockwood hung up the phone.

Jasper put down his phone. After a mont of thought, he got up and left his room.

Chloe had just finished her shower and was drying her hair when there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Jasper’s voice. "Chloe, are you asleep?"

Chloe paused and then answered, "No." She tightened her bathrobe, walked over to open the door, and looked at the man standing in the doorway. "What is it?"

Her long hair was still damp, clinging in slight disarray to her exquisite, beautiful face. Her collarbones, faintly visible, were so pale they seed to glow, catching his eye. Jasper’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and his voice was low and husky. "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Anything going on?" Chloe asked.

"My grandpa wants to et you. If you have ti, we can go to the old residence together."

After a mont’s thought, Chloe nodded. "Okay. What ti tomorrow?"

"Is lunchti okay?"

"Yes."

Jasper suddenly reached out and brushed a strand of her hair. "Dry your hair before you sleep."

"Okay."

Lunchti the next day.

The two arrived at the Lockwood Residence.

"Grandpa, this is Chloe, your granddaughter-in-law," Jasper introduced.

"Hmph." The old master wore a stern expression, his aura imposing. His sharp gaze scrutinized the young woman. "You have finally allowed to take a look at her."

It was her first ti eting his grandpa who was also a legendary figure. Chloe Sterling showed a perfect composed attitude. She smiled faintly. "Hello, Grandpa. I’m Chloe Sterling. I apologize for not having seen you earlier. "

Old Master Lockwood was over seventy. Having weathered a lifeti of storms, he had long since developed a sharp, discerning eye. Chloe exuded an air of integrity, and she faced his stern deanor with complete composure, showing not a hint of fear. So he was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law at this stage.

Old Master Lockwood suddenly broke into a hearty laugh, and his stern facade was completely gone. "It’s fine. I know it wasn’t your fault." He turned to Jasper. "Kid, you’ve got good taste. Chloe, sit down and let’s talk."

"...Alright."

’This old man sure changes his tune fast.’

She had a good impression of the old master, too. She knew he had deliberately put on that stern act to gauge her reaction.

It wasn’t the first ti she had encountered a situation like this. She had t quite a few powerful and influential people over the years, and so far, no one had managed to intimidate her.

The three of them chatted in the living room for a while before the old butler ca over. "Master, lunch is ready."

"Good." The old master said to the pair, "Co on, let’s go eat."

The three of them got up and went to the dining room. On the table were several dishes that Chloe loved to eat.

The old master said with a smile, "Jasper told you like spicy food, so I specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a few ones. Try them and see if they fit your taste"

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Chloe was a little surprised. She glanced at Jasper as she didn’t expect him to have told his grandfather about that.

Old Master Lockwood said, "We’re all family now. There’s no need to be so formal."

A slight smile touched Jasper’s lips as he picked up a piece of spicy chili chicken and placed it on Chloe’s plate. "You ate too little this morning. Take more now."

Chloe didn’t know what to reply.

She felt rather awkward with this public display of affection in front of an elder, but she still ate the piece of chicken Jasper had given her.

Old Master Lockwood watched Jasper’s actions, and his face showed a mask of astonishnt, as he thought inwardly, ’Is this really my arrogant, indomitable grandson?!’

’He’s even putting food on soone else’s plate! I’ve doted on him for over twenty years, and he’s never once put a single piece of food on my plate!’

After a mont, the old master smiled again. ’It seems my boy wasn’t lying to . He married because he found a girl he truly loves.’ Thinking this, he felt relieved.

’Even heroes fall for a beautiful woman. This kid has finally t his love.’

After lunch, the three of them returned to the living room.

Chloe noticed a chess set on the table and gave it a few extra glances.

Noticing her gaze, Jasper asked, "Do you know how to play? Want to give it a try?"

Chloe said, "I can do a little."

Hearing this, Old Master Lockwood looked at her in surprise. "Chloe, you know how to play chess? Not many young people know how to play these days."

Chloe smiled. "I only know a little."

’A person’s character is reflected in how they play chess.’ as the saying went.

The old master’s interest was imdiately brought out. "Then how about a ga with ?"

"Okay."

Jasper looked at his grandpa, feeling a little annoyed but also a little helpless. He had originally intended to play a ga with Chloe himself, but in the end, he could only watch from the sidelines.

In truth, Chloe didn’t just know "a little." She had often played chess with her master since she was ten, and had even participated in and won a provincial championship.

Her extraordinary skill at the ga quickly beca apparent. Old Master Lockwood looked at her, astonished. "You call this knowing ’a little’?"

Chloe gave a faint smile. "You have flattered ."

The old master’s gaze held a few more degrees of approval. ’This granddaughter-in-law is great!’

Jasper sat to the side, his gaze gentle and doting as he watched the young woman’s delicate, fair profile.

A little after three in the afternoon, the ga ended with Chloe deliberately letting him win.

Old Master Lockwood knew exactly what had happened, and he grew even fonder of Chloe.

"Grandpa, we have to leave now. We’ll co see you again next ti," Chloe said, and waved the old master farewell.

"Alright. Chloe, Jasper, co back to the old residence to visit more often when you have ti."

"Okay. Please take care."

Old Master Lockwood said, "I feel excellent! I’m just bored. Just co back and keep company more often. It would be even better if you could give a great-grandson to hold soon."

Chloe was lost in words.

Jasper’s lips curved into a smile. "No problem."

Old Master Lockwood laughed heartily. "Then I’ll be waiting and see."

The couple left the Lockwood Residence.

Watching the shadow of their departing car, the old master sighed with emotion, whispering,"She’s a good kid."

The butler replied, "The Young Madam is truly extraordinary. I really don’t understand how the Sterling Family could treat her like that."

Old Master Lockwood snorted coldly. "That’s because they’re blind!"

The butler chuckled. "But the Young Master has great tastes."

Speaking of his eldest grandson, the old master’s face was once again wreathed in smiles. "Jasper is very sharp. So of course his judgnt would never be wrong."
