Chapter 20 I Don't Need a Guardian

"If you can handle the embarrassment, fine. But I can't as your elder. If it comes to that, don't blame me for cutting you off. Now, seriously, think about what you've done," Louis snapped in the group chat before storming off. The three grandsons, still reeling from the scolding, quickly grabbed their phones to respond.

Michael: [Got it, Grandpa. You're right, I messed up. I'll fix it.]

Liam: [You'll always be my grandpa, no matter what.] Grant: [Understood!]

Liam stared at his phone, feeling utterly defeated. "Grandpa wants us to chase after that girl, but she's like a porcupine. Every time I see her, I feel like I'm gonna get pricked. How am I supposed to pursue her?" Liam just couldn't see himself and Chloe working out. They couldn't even have a conversation without bickering.

Michael chimed in, "Seriously, what century is this? Arranged marriages are so outdated. I'm pursuing a career in the entertainment industry; I can't tie the knot now. I really can't go through with this engagement with the Davis Family." Both Michael and Liam, burdened by their circumstances, let out synchronized sighs.

Grant, who had been quiet, glanced thoughtfully towards Chloe's room upstairs. He headed to his own room, texting Stanley as he went: [Find out who Chloe had dinner with tonight. I need all the details, ASAP.]

The next morning, Chloe came downstairs and was surprised to see the three Martin brothers, usually too busy to eat together, all dressed up and waiting at the dining table. Confused by their unusual behavior, she greeted them, took her seat, and got ready to eat.
