Chapter 196
Late at night, the Marrow family’s residence was brightly lit.
As soon as Howard walked in, he saw his grandparents still awake. They were each sitting on opposite sides of the sofa, not looking at each other. From their expressions, it was clear they had been arguing
Howard suppressed the frustration in his heart and sat down beside his grandmother with a playful attitude. “Who made our big baby angry again!”
Amelia gave Jasper an accusing look but before she could speak, Jasper huffed. “I didn’t make her angry. She is just being unreasonable, making
trouble for no reason?”
“What do you mean I’m making trouble for no reason!”
Amelia was instantly
ly enraged. With reddened eyes, she reprimanded, “Lily is your biological granddaughter. Why don’t you feel sorry for her?
Jasper glared. “How can you say I don’t feel sorry? Didn’t I tell Zania to make anything Lily wants Even if we can’t make it at home, we can buy i from outside. I’ve said all this, and if she doesn’t eat, what can I do?”
“You old fool, pretending to be confused. You know very well that Lily wants more than just that. You’ve been friends with the Morion family for decades, and our families are well–matched. Conrad is now twenty–eight and at the age to settle down, but you won’t even make a visit to their
Amelia quickly grabbed her eldest grandson’s hand and said, “Howard, you judge for yourself. Lily hasn’t eaten for two days. If she keeps starving like this, how can she stand it? Your grandfather is just being stubborn and prideful…”
Jasper got even more funous when his wife involved their grandson Conrad is twenty–eight already. If he and Lily were meant to be, it would have happened by now. You saw at Lily’s birthday party that he had no interest in her. You also heard from Juliana yesterday that Comad now has a girlfriend and he was quite protective of her, even at Lily’s expense! Aren’t you angry at all! Lily is our beloved granddaughter She can have any man she wants, why settle for someone who disrespects her like that?”
Amelia retorted. For Lily’s sake, we need to consider her feelings. She’s set her heart on Conrad, and now she refuses to eat because of him. Even if you won’t go in person, you could at least call Maynard.”
She immediately added. “Conrad is surely just fooling around with that woman ourside. With the status of the Morton Family, how could Maynard ever allow his son to marry such an improper womant Juliana has a good relationship with Lydia, and Lydia also likes Lily. If Lily marries into the Morton family, we can rest assured”
She turned to look at Howard. “Howard, you and Conrad have a good relationship. If Conrad becomes your brother–in–law, it could benefit both families businesses. Don’t you think so!”
Howard’s expression grew increasingly dark and grim.
Seeing that her husband remained stubborn and unyielding, Amelia decided to work on convincing her granihon instead. “Howard, why don’t you
Conrad and ask him to come see Lily!”
“Absolutely not
Jasper angrily pounded his cane on the floor. “You may not care about saving face, but I do! If anyone dares to make that call, they’ll have to deal with met
Amelia shot him a glare. “I told Howard to make the call. If you give him trouble. I’ll divorce your”
“I go up and take a look! Howard pulled his hand away from his grandmother’s grasp, stood up with a cold expression, and went upstairs without
