Chapter 2406

Alyssa woke up early today and, feeling somewhat fatigued, suggested that everyone leave, allowing her some space. She then took a short rest on Balfour’s sofa.

Upon returning, Balfour was met with this scene. His brow furrowed with concern as he approached Alyssa’s side.

“Grandma, if you were tired, why didn’t you go nap in my study? At your age, you shouldn’t be sleeping on the sofa. It could take a toll on your health! Quinton!”

Quinton entered the room at Balfour’s call. “What is it, Sir?”

“What’s going on here? Why didn’t you think to suggest that Grandma should rest in the study?”

Alyssa stirred from her rest, intercepting Balfour’s reprimand. “Now, don’t go scolding Quinton on my account. It was my choice to lay down here. He did offer your study, but I wanted to lounge on your sofa today.”

Balfour held his tongue after that.
