Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 342 You Doubt Me?

This wasn't the first time Anissa had badmouthed Chloe in front of Grant.

In the past, Grant would hold back out of respect for Anissa, but he suddenly realized that his patience only led to more control from Anissa, not compromise or reflection.

Grant frowned, his expression turning displeased.

"Mom, I'm an adult now. I can handle my own relationships," he said to Anissa. "I love Chloe, and I'm going to marry her."

His words were a clear opposition to Anissa's.

Anissa's face darkened. "Grant, I'm your mother. When will you start listening to me? I'm telling you not to marry Chloe for your own good. A girl like her isn't worthy of you."

Anissa's words only made Grant more upset.

He lifted his face to meet Anissa's gaze. "Whether we're suited for each other isn't your decision to make, Mom. Relationships are special -You know your own feelings best.

To me, Chloe is perfect in every way. We connect intellectually and spiritually, and if anything, I sometimes feel I'm not good enough for her. When it comes to us, you have two choices: oppose us or bless our relationship. But let me be clear - your blessing would go a long way in keeping this family united."

Grant's expression darkened as he spoke.

Quentin and Anissa had never gotten along-they had spent their entire marriage bickering, and their three children had suffered for it.

Now, well past fifty, Grant wished Anissa would finally ease up-for Quentin's sake, and for her own.

If she kept stirring up drama like this, he wasn't sure Quentin wouldn't finally file for divorce.

Life was too short to waste on bitterness and regrets. What kind of life was that?

Anissa understood Grant's message.
