Jeffrey didn't hold back his dissatisfaction with Anna. "What niece? She's not part of the Boltons. You don't need to pay her any mind."

"But, Grandpa..."

Before I could finish, I felt a cold gaze land on me. Carter spoke indifferently, "You should call him Dad."

The icy reminder left me drenched in a cold sweat. Carter was far too perceptive. I'd called Jeffrey "Grandpa" for so long that it slipped out as a habit, something no one else had noticed-except him. Suppressing my inner panic. I silently reminded myse to be more careful in the future.

"Good, good. I think you're a wonderful person. Having you around at the estate will be nice. Besides, your -and Carter have already registered your marriage, so we'll make sure to follow up with the proper ceremonies. We'll need to prepare a wedding house in advance. Do you have a place in mind?"

I suppressed the surge of excitement in my chest. This was exactly what I'd been waiting for.
