Chapter 1408:
Annabel smiled. The two older men—despite their age—still bickered like children every day.
“I hear you sought out old man Kalel for help?” Leonard asked.
Annabel nodded. “I asked him to teach me how to make a bracelet. I gave it to Bruce as a birthday gift p>
Although Kalel had publicly acknowledged Dwight as his apprentice, it wasn’t widely known that Annabel was also his disciple. They had chosen not to reveal that information.
Hearing this, Leonard gave a slight nod. “You’re the only one Kalel is willing to teach now. By the way, I heard his other disciple might be heading to Douburgh in the coming days p>
“Dwight is coming?” Annabel looked mildly surprised, but she quickly realized that since Vickie had commissioned him for a carving, he was likely already near Douburgh.
“I’m not sure about the details,” Leonard said. “You should get in touch with him when he arrives p>
Then Leonard seemed to remember something. He cleared his throat delicately and straightened, his expression turning so grave that Annabel instinctively paid closer attention.
“You’ve been engaged to the Benton family for quite a while now p>
Still confused by the remark, Annabel nodded. After all, Leonard had been present at the engagement ceremony.
Leonard clicked his tongue, his expression wavering as though he were holding something back—only heightening Annabel’s curiosity.
“Grandpa, what are you trying to say p>
Leonard hesitated. “Have you ever p>
He abruptly stopped, trying to prompt her with a meaningful look.
But Annabel had no idea what he was hinting at.

“Grandpa, what are you trying to say?” she asked helplessly.
After a moment of deliberation, Leonard blurted, “Have you slept with him p>
Annabel froze. She hadn’t expected such a question from her grandfather. Heat rushed to her face, and she stammered, “Grandpa, why would you ask something like that p>
Leonard coughed a few times, took a sip of tea, and then said sternly, “There are certain things you need to be careful about. You’re not married yet p>
“And?” Annabel blinked, still puzzled.
Leonard’s next comment left Annabel torn between laughter and tears.
Fresh from a shower, Rupert emerged to find Annabel on the phone, her expression an odd mix of emotions.
“What’s the matter?” Rupert asked as he approached, his hair still damp.
“Grandpa just called me,” Annabel said, shaking her head helplessly.
Rupert slipped an arm around her waist and sat down beside her.
“He gave me some advice,” she added.
Rupert responded nonchalantly, his hand lazily tracing patterns along her arm and back. He inhaled the scent of her hair and leaned in closer.
