Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 476

"Maybe Grandpa should come back and take over the company?" Eric suggested, half-jokingly.

"What? No way!" Campbell responded immediately, echoing Eric's concern. "Grandpa's retired and enjoying his golden years. We can't drag him back into this mess. That would be downright disrespectful."

"Alright, you two need to head back home, sit down with your dad, and see if he's up for a temporary comeback," their mother chimed in, trying to find a solution to the leadership crisis in their family business.

Eric and Campbell exchanged a look of mutual understanding. They knew too well that returning home meant facing the relentless matchmaking attempts of their parents. To suggest that their father return to the company's helm would undoubtedly come with strings attached – likely in the form of an ultimatum to settle down with a wife.

Freedom was far too precious to give up.

With a silent nod, Eric spoke up, "Big bro, Campbell and I will follow your lead on this. But we insist on bringing the rest of the gang into the mix. Everyone except the youngest - they all need to take their turn."

"Even if they're green behind the ears, it's exactly why they need to step up and get some real experience," Campbell added.

"Let me get that for you, big bro," Eric said, eager to help.
