Chapter 40

Yasmin was shocked by this. She lowered her head and greeted, "Grandpa."

"What did you say to Roxy? Why did she blanch at your words?" Arthur asked.

She hadn't expected him to overhear every word of their conversation downstairs. She said, "Nothing much. We just had a small argument."

She thought he wanted to tell her off for daring to teach his precious granddaughter a lesson. To her surprise, Arthur nodded approvingly. "You did the right thing, Yasmin."

Yasmin was stunned. She looked up at him. Arthur smiled and said, "Roxy's parents have spoiled her rotten, so she's always been obnoxious and precocious. It's good for her to have someone like you to take her down a notch or two. This way, she won't dare to step a toe out of line anymore."

Yasmin's heart settled back in her chest at his words. She hadn't expected Arthur to be so understanding. It had been two years since she'd married Blake. Though Arthur had always been nice to her, he'd never spoken to her privately like this.
