At the mention of Alexander's miserable past, he loosened his grip on Sophia's hand.
Looking at Grace with a helpless expression, he asked, "Why did you have to talk about that now, Grandma?"
After all, it was a painful memory for Grace too.
Grace had really loved Dylan Carter, Alexander's brother, and it had been really hard for her to accept the fact that Dylan had died in a car accident at such a young age.
Holding Alexander's hand, she said earnestly, "I was just afraid that you might scare her away.You are cold and tough, and you have finally managed to open your heart to someone."
Sophia glanced at Alexander's hand, which was away from hers, lost in thought.
"Sophia, I hope you try to understand his cold temper.He might seem really cold on the outside, but he really loves you," Grace added with a smile.
Sophia suddenly placed her hand on Alexander's, surprising him, and said to Grace, "Please rest assured, Mrs.Carter."
