“Mr. Blake, let’s talk about work.” Alexander changed the topic.

His memories with grandpa flashed through his mind.

In front of grandpa, Alexander had always been careful.

He always wanted grandpa to pay more attention to him, so he always tried to do his best.

When Alexander first arrived at the Parks residence, his mother told him to make grandpa happy.

Grandpa had always been very cold to him.

Every time he took the initiative to call grandpa, grandpa would respond indifferently and ignore him.

He envied grandpa’s sternness and affection for Julian.

Grandpa did it without any ulterior motive.

It was pure love.

Alexander wanted it, too.

He studied hard.

Every time he scored well, he would tell grandpa.

“Grandpa.

I got full marks for my essay this time.” “Grandpa.

I won first prize in the mathematics competition.” “Grandpa, three students in our class were chosen to participate in the International Physics Competition.

I got a spot.” “Grandpa.

I won Silver in the International Physics Competition.” At first, grandpa only responded with a nod.

Later, grandpa would say, “Keep it up!” And much later, grandpa would say, “Don’t slack off.

Keep working hard!” Later, grandpa said to him, “It doesn’t matter what a person’s background is.

Is he rich or poor? It doesn’t matter what a person’s intelligence is.

Is he clever or stupid? It doesn’t matter what a person’s ability is, either.

Is he outstanding or mediocre? The most important thing in life is to have the right values and do the right thing.

“What are these values? What is right? Everything you do must be done openly, honestly, and with integrity.

You must have a clear conscience.

Everything you do must not harm anyone.

These are the right values.” He knew that grandpa was blaming his mother for having an affair with his father, causing harm to Julian’s mother.

When Alexander first arrived at the Parks residence, he did not dare to face Julian.

He was apologetic toward Julian.
