Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 706

They both flushed with embarrassment.

Susan quickly said, “I’ll handle the trash first.”

Dane stayed close behind Susan.

After she got rid of the trash, he fixed his gaze on her and said, “Promise me, Susan.”

Susan felt a bit dazed by the sincerity and depth in his eyes.

Did she really deserve such love? “Alright, but if you ever decide to marry someone from a family of equal status, just let me know.”

“You silly girl.” Dane was too irritated to say more, and when he saw her flushed lips, he leaned in and kissed her without hesitation.

Susan was breathless from the kiss.

She pushed Dane away and noticed her swollen lips in the mirror.

Panicking, she asked, “What are you doing? What if my grandpa sees this?”

“Do you really think he’s clueless? He can definitely figure out what’s going on between us,” Dane scoffed.

Susan shot him a glare.

Sometimes, he could be so frustrating.

“Come on, introduce me properly to your grandpa.” Dane grabbed her hand, leaving her no room to argue.

They entered the ward.

Erick was resting, staring out the window absentmindedly.

Hearing a noise, he turned around and saw them holding hands.

A hint of surprise crossed his face, followed by a warm smile.

“You’ve made up, haven’t you?”

Susan was taken aback.

“Grandpa, you…”

Erick chuckled warmly, his voice infused with a knowing mirth.

“You can’t hide anything from me, Dane is a good kid, Susan; you two should be together.”

Susan’s cheeks flushed with a sudden warmth.

She had thought her feelings were her own secret, yet it seemed everyone had already pieced it together.

“I know, Grandpa,” she said, her voice a soft whisper.

Erick continued with a gentle sternness, “You’re both young.

If there’s a misunderstanding, address it directly.

Don’t let resentments fester; it only strains the bond between you.

Understand?”

Both nodded, absorbing Erick’s seasoned advice.

Dane, in particular, appeared unusually attentive.

“You’re right, Erick.”

Erick’s gaze on Dane was tinged with a quiet exasperation.

“Don’t just make silent sacrifices for others.

You need to express yourself more.

How else will anyone know your true feelings?”

Silent sacrifices?

Susan turned to Dane, her eyes wide with surprise.

Dane’s lips tightened briefly before he nodded.

Erick was no fool; his life had honed his instincts sharply.

He had already guessed that Dane had arranged for his protection.

The men in black stationed discreetly around the entrance were clearly not ordinary—they bore the distinct air of mercenaries.

Feeling reassured, Erick reflected on Susan’s fortune in having a boyfriend Like Dane and a steadfast friend like Madisyn.

He felt a profound peace, knowing he could die without regrets.

Turning back to Susan, he advised, “Always communicate openly.

In a relationship, your feelings are paramount.

The Johns family is respectable, and Dane is a fine young man.

Don’t let him slip through your fingers.”

At his age, Erick could discern the essence of a person with just a glance.
