Evander leaned against the chair and met Old Mr. Chandler’s gaze. He was not in a hurry as he said, “No.”

“Then you should be clear by now. I’m sure you understand the situation of the Chandler family. Although we can’t compete with the Golding family, we’re not that far off.”

Old Mr. Chandler frowned, and his voice turned deep and cold. “Angeline is my granddaughter. Although I’ve neglected on disciplining her all these years which resulted in her doing such a reckless thing, the Chandler family will not allow her to become someone’s mistress. Hence, I hope you’ll leave her. If you think the existence of her daughter is bothering you, I’ll take up the responsibility of raising her.”

Evander was silent as he listened to what Old Mr. Chandler had to say. He then frowned and replied, “I think you must be mistaken. Angeline is not my mistress, and Floretta is not her daughter.”

A hint of surprise appeared on Old Mr. Chandler’s face, but his gaze was still cold and sharp.

“You want my granddaughter to become your child’s stepmother? Are you looking down on the Chandler family?”

Following his questions, the atmosphere in the cafe became tense.

The waiter brought the coffee and a jug of water at that moment. Evander was quick to read the room and poured the water into a glass for Old Mr. Chandler.

“If that day comes, I’ll make my relationship with Angeline publicly known and make her my wife.”

“Why should I believe you?”

Old Mr. Chandler huffed. He narrowed his eyes, and a sly glint flashed past them.

“There are many grudges among the prestigious families. I know my granddaughter well. Her personality is not suitable for a prestigious family. Even if the two of you get married, there is a possibility that you’ll get divorced.”

Upon hearing that, Evander’s grip on his cup tightened. He, indeed, had not considered the problem Old Mr. Chandler mentioned.

However, from the moment he chose Angeline, his decision was firm. Since he had decided to be with her, he would never let go.

“If it comes down to that, I will draw up a contract beforehand and transfer all my properties to her to ensure that she’ll live without worry.”
