If it weren't for the war, Clayton Xavier was certain his grandfather could have built an even bigger business. Whenever his grandmother spoke of his grandfather, her eyes would fill with admiration. Even though his grandfather had wronged her, she still loved him. That was why she had pushed him to get into Aethelgard University, so he could then go abroad to find his grandfather.
Clayton Xavier's expression turned somber. He had never met his grandfather. When the war broke out, his grandfather sold off the silk factory and other assets in Tristone and left for a foreign country with his concubine's family. A few letters had arrived afterward, but in recent years, there had been no word at all.
He felt it was a great injustice to his grandmother—spending her whole life waiting for a man who didn't love her. She might even die without ever seeing his grandfather again. He knew that his grandmother's greatest wish was to see his grandfather just one more time.
