He seemed to have thought of something particularly sad, and a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.
He only said half of it, then didn't want to say anything more.
Tessa sensed something.
Was he thinking about something related to Faye's parents?
She didn't want Grandpa to feel worse, so she smiled, trying to lighten the mood: "Grandpa, you're making it sound like I'm really dumb."
Grandpa Green retorted and disdainfully said, "Aren't you dumb?"
Tessa took two steps forward and lightly patted her chest; "How am I dumb? Look, your daughter and granddaughter complained to you about me but never succeeded, and in the end, they retreated defeated. This shows how smart and wise I am to turn dangers into nothing."
Grandpa Green scoffed at her: "You were just standing there like a wooden stump... and yet you call yourself wise and smart."
