“Ah—”

When Esmeralda sensed her grandfather’s arrival, she hurriedly pushed Alex away.

Embarrassed, she rolled her eyes at Cedric. “Grandpa! Why didn’t you knock?!”

“So, it’s my fault, huh? How was I supposed to know you were kissing inside? You’ve only met for a few minutes and now, you’ve scared me so much I think I’m about to have a heart attack.”

“What? Cedric, you’re saying Esmeralda kissed someone?”

A surprised voice came from Cedric’s phone.

Cedric’s phone was connected to a call.
