Chapter 38 Jacket Off, Time To Hit The Sack

"That's totally off the table!" To Harry's surprise, Caspian shot down the idea firmly.

"Why not?" Harry asked, puzzled. "Don't you want to shake off Orion?"

"As much as I can't stand her, I can't resort to lying. Besides, our families have been close for ages. If this blows up, it'd be a real mess. I can't let that happen."

Harry heaved a resigned sigh after hearing Caspian out. "Alright, you've got a lot on the plate, so I won't rock the boat."

"We need to cook up something else," Caspian instructed. "We've got to get those two hitched pronto, or we're toast when grandma gets back, and they're still not married." "Why does everyone make her out to be the boogeyman?" Harry asked curiously.

"You'd better brace yourself because if you're not ready, she's going to knock your socks off."

The one person Caspian feared the most was Mrs. Carrington. Even though she was his grandma, she never took to him, always bearing her fangs.

What's even worse, she was his father's mother, and even he held her in high regard.

"Does anyone in your family play with a full deck?" Harry couldn't help but give a snarky remark. "I'm second-guessing letting my mom marry into your clan. Isn't it like hopping from the frying pan into the fire?" Both Caspian and his dad seemed to be off their rockers, his mom was a piece of work, and his grandparents were total fakes. Not to mention, his grandma doesn't even like him.

"My mom's the only one I want, and she has to marry my dad!"

"That's easier said than done."

After hanging up, Harry was so frustrated he muttered to himself, "Caspian, the day I bump into you, you're getting a piece of my mind first thing!" Harry knew he couldn't stay put. He had to leave.
