His Only Antidote by Shirley Owen

Chapter 8

“You never brought a girl with you, I don’t want to push you too hard, but I don’t want you to miss a good girl. I like Nola a lot. The Grayson family needs a sensible, innocent, and kind daughter–in–law. Her ability is not the key point. I’ll be happy for you if you meet someone you love.”

“Grandma, you overthought it.”

“I don’t know how long I still have. It’s my only wish to see you find the woman who can keep you company for the rest of your life!” Old Mrs. Grayson couldn’t help but cough. Elvis immediately patted her back with a frown.

“Sensible, innocent, and kind? Her acting skills are not bad. Grandma is easily deceived by her, thought Elvis.

“Grandma, you’ve just known her for a couple of hours. It’s too decisive to judge what kind of person she is.”

“I’ve been there. I trust my gut. You are free to make your decisions. I just think… it’s time for you to get married.”

Getting out of the ward, Elvis glanced at the girl trembling in the corridor. He only noticed now that she was still in a flimsy dress in early winter.

Yet he didn’t show any pity for her. As an adult, she should put on more clothing when the temperature gets lower. And she made his grandmother like her so soon, which proved that Nola was not an unsophisticated girl. Elvis passed by Nola with a cold face and said to her, “Let’s go.

Nola followed him but said nothing.

She had shown her ability to Elvis, and she should leave more space for him to think it over.

None of them spoke in the RV, and the silence and suppression aura once again filled the RV. Sitting beside Elvis, Nola could clearly feel his cold vibe.
