Chapter 29

Theo sat in the chair, his weathered and wrinkled hands delicately grasping the cup of coffee as he took a sip. He slowly lifted his gaze and turned to his grandson Trevon, who was seated across the table. “You’ve spent half a month together. What are your thoughts on Natalie now? Is she a calculating girl that you think?”

Theo had also served in the army during his youth, and he could keenly discern the change in his grandson’s eyes.

It seemed that conflicting emotions churned inside him now.

Theo wished to advise Trevon, so he devised an excuse to have the butler take Natalie around the Wilson’s old residence.

Trevon pursed his lips, choosing not to answer the question.

But Theo couldn’t let him off so quickly. He glanced at his grandson and said, “Don’t think I don’t know that you coerced Natalie into signing a three-month agreement.

“You don’t need to look at me like that. Neither Natalie nor Jim informed. me about that. I have my own ways of finding out. As your grandfather, I fear your inherent suspicion may make you regret it later. Natalie is truly a good girl. Even those ladies born into wealth can’t match her.”

Trevon felt his grandfather was exaggerating. “Are you so certain she has no ulterior motives?”

Theo let out a sigh. “Oh, my dear boy, you’ve spent too much time in the army. You tend to scrutinize everyone, but not everyone is as complicated as you think. You can delve into her past with your methods, but I don’t want you to end up comprehending her in that manner. Do you think she willingly married you?”

“So, is it not her own will to marry me?” Trevon thought.

Theo’s words inevitably disturbed Trevon’s mind.

Theo earnestly continued, “Oh, Trevon, you want to know why I compelled you to marry her, right? You don’t want to yield because you think I arranged your marriage. Do you really believe that I’m now old

“I was wickedly plotted to bring about my downfall in my youth when I wanted to make my own way to success alongside your grandmother. At that time, no wealthiest or the four noble families existed. With a wild ambition, upon leaving the military, I intended to embark on my own business ventures. I journeyed across the breadth of the land, accompanied by your grandmother, while your granduncle pursued his studies in college. We were not well off at that time. Once, a scheming third party undermined my collaboration with a company. They sought to intercept the collaboration, dispatching thugs to kill me. In the ensuing escape, your grandmother suffered severe injuries, and that’s also why she died so early.”
