Faux Vows, True Desires

"Gramps."

Cecilia called out and said, "I'm not in a rush. When fate comes, I'll naturally have a boyfriend."

Devon glared at her. "Not in a rush? You're already 24. When your parents were your age, your brother was already walking."

"Gramps, times have changed. Besides, isn't it nice to be alone? Free as a bird."

Devon spoke to Trenton, "You hear this? That's why she doesn't have a boyfriend at 24. Plenty of old neighbors wanted to introduce her to someone, but she wouldn't have it. Everyone says she's too picky because she's pretty and won't settle for those guys. They even curse her for ending up with a jerk because she's too choosy, driving me up the wall."

He loved his granddaughter dearly.

Hearing others talk about his granddaughter like that, Devon would get furious and argue.

After so many fights, no one dared to meddle in Cecilia's love life anymore, but people still gossiped behind her back.

Trenton chuckled, "You're a bit too anxious. Do you know how old my grandson is? 29. He'll be in his thirties next year. He's been single this whole time because he's too good for anyone, and I've been losing sleep over his marriage."

"I moved here because I was so angry with my eldest grandson that I couldn't stay at home, and I moved out of sight."

"Devon, we get along well, and I like your granddaughter. What if we try to set them up?"

Cecilia was speechless.

Devon asked, "Why is your grandson still single at 29?"
