Chapter 226 Young People Nowadays Are Candid
In Silvia’s memory, her grandfather was a person who refused to admit defeat. Every day, he would wake up at five o’clock and start exercising. Even though Marc was old, his body was exceptionally tough. He stood straight as a tree and ran fast as the wind. He was very healthy.
But now, Marc had to sit in this wheelchair. Although Marc said that it was nothing, if it was really nothing, he would definitely stand and never sit. It could be seen how painful his legs were.
“Alright!” Marc felt uncomfortable under Silvia’s gaze, so he pulled a blanket over his knees. “How long have you been away from the Austin family?”
“Seven or eight years?” At the mention of this, Silvia’s eyes dimmed.
“To be precise, it is seven years and three months,” Zain added timely.
Silvia was amazed.
“It seems that you are quite used to living outside. This is also good.”
The words that the old man said today all surprised Silvia. The tit-for-tat she had expected did not happen. Today, Marc looked more like an ordinary, kind old man.
“Grandfather…”
“You have a new boyfriend, don’t you?” Marc changed the topic and suddenly asked her a question.
Silvia was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
“Is he good to you?” Marc asked again.
“Alright.” After answering, Silvia probably felt that one word could not represent Simon’s merits, so she emphasized, “He’s very good!”
“Are you sure he is serious about you? When did he know that you are from the Austin family?” Zain always spoke at crucial times.
Silvia said with certainty, “I am sure that he is serious, and so am 1! I know that I was willful before, but believe me. If I make one mistake, I won’t make two mistakes.”
Zain still wanted to say something, but Marc raised his hand and stopped Zain from continuing.
Marc then turned his gaze to the window and pouted his lips in the direction of the building. “Is it him?”
Following Marc’s eyes, Silvia looked down and happened to see Simon walking in this direction under the guidance of the servants. Her heart warmed and she nodded. Her gaze became much gentler.
“Simon. The current head of the Palmer family is indeed capable. This time, you’ve got the right person.”
From Marc’s tone, it seemed that he did not object. What did he mean by a right person? Was the last person a bad choice?
However, now that Silvia thought about it, her judgment back then was indeed very problematic. Reality had taught her a harsh lesson. Ladarius was indeed a scumbag. He was not worth it.
“Sir,” A servant’s voice sounded from outside. It seemed that the person in question had already arrived.
“Let him in.”
The door opened and the servant took a step back. Simon walked in and quickly scanned the room. The moment he
saw Silvia, he was probably relieved and relaxed.
“Simon,” Marc greeted with a smile.
Simon was not surprised that Marc called his name directly. He walked up to Marc, bent down, and politely reached out his hand. “Mr. Austin, I wish you a long and healthy life.”
Marc looked at Simon’s outstretched hand but did not hold it. He said indifferently, “You still call me Mr. Austin?”
Marc’s voice was dignified, but his expression was very peaceful.
Simon was stunned, then he looked at Silvia and immediately understood, “You are right!”
Simon then withdrew his hand, cupped his hands, and respectfully said, “Simon, your future grandson-in-law, wishes my future grandfather-in-law good fortune and longevity.”
“Grandson-in-law?” Marc widened his eyes in shock Were all young people nowadays so candid?
A second ago, Simon called him Mr. Austin, but the next second, Simon called him his future grandfather-in-law.
“Our Austin family has not recognized you yet.” Zain, who had always been calm, had become the one who could not keep his cool.
Marc had experienced a lot. First, he raised his hand to signal for Zain to calm down. Then, he coughed dryly and said, “Simon, you are a junior. It is OK to call me Marc, but it is still too early to call me grandfather.”
The implication was that the Austin family had not recognized the relationship between Silvia and Simon, so they would not recognize Simon’s identity for the time being.
Simon glanced at Silvia and saw that she had closed her eyes. She also looked very helpless. Simon roughly guessed that Silvia had not told her family about the relationship between them, so Simon did not expose the secret. He only replied, “It doesn’t matter. I can wait. Sooner or later, she will be mine anyway.”
Marc was stumped.
Zain was speechless.
Silvia was cheerful. She thought, you’re a brave man.
Perhaps feeling that this topic was too awkward and that someone might blow up if they didn’t talk properly, Marc changed the topic, “I heard that recently, the business in Warin has expanded to more than ten countries?”
“It’s just that I have dabbled in them.” Simon’s answer was still a bit modest.
How could that be called a dabbler? It was clear Simon owned a branch company in every country. The business was not small.
Warin did makeup products and fashion. It was also involved in the film and television industry. It could be said that Warin was a unique big shot in this industry. However, it was also very impressive to get a share of the beauty market abroad.
In terms of business, Zain was also quite respectful towards Simon. Among his peers, there was no one as outstanding as Símon in business. It was precisely because of this that the Palmer family was able to steadily establish themselves in the four great aristocratic families under the condition that they didn’t have many talents.
However, this was a different story. Just because Simon was doing good business didn’t mean that he was a good
grandson-in-law. Previously, Ladarius was unknown, but he turned out to be a two-timer, not to mention a man of Simon’s status. Whether Simon was serious about Silvia was questionable.
“Your father and I are old friends, but we have been apart for years. How is he going?”
When she heard her grandfather mention this, Silvia was very surprised. She did not expect her grandfather to know Simon’s father. However, Silvia and Simon had been together for so long, but she had never seen his parents. She almost forgot about this.
“He goes very well. He is traveling around the world with my mother. In fact, the number of times I could see him was not much.”
After listening to Simon’s explanation, Silvia suddenly realized that no wonder she had never seen his parents before. It turned out that they had gone to travel around the world.
“Good, it is good to travel around the world!” Marc gently tapped on the side of the wheelchair and said emotionally, “While one is still young and healthy, one should grab this opportunity to travel around. Even if I want to travel now, I can’t walk anymore.”
Marc raised his hand and placed it on his leg, his tone a little dejected.
“It’s not impossible for you to walk around if you wish. We can accompany you,” Simon turned to glance at Silvia and said with a smile.
The look in Simon’s eyes made Silvia feel very at ease. It was a kind of support. She did not know where her courage came from. Silvia just took the initiative to step forward and hold Marc’s hand. “Yes, grandfather. If you want to walk around, we can accompany you.”
Marc was shocked when Silvia suddenly held his hand. He lowered his head and looked at her hand which was holding his hand in a sentimental way.
