Chapter 924 Mr. An Arrives In Advance (1/2)
”Wait!”
Steven shouted suddenly, ”You're too late! Your grandfather has agreed to my marriage to Callie. Why don't you talk to him about this?”
Seeing that Carla was at a loss of words, he figured he needed to find a way to save himself from the mess that lay ahead of him. Thankfully, he was a quick-witted man.
”What did you say?”
Lucia stopped pacing and said in astonishment, ”That's impossible! How could grandfather intervene in this issue?
He has stayed out of it for so many years! He never cared about the affairs of the younger people!”
”Callie is his granddaughter, so it isn't surprising. If you don't believe it, you can go ask him,”
answered Steven, looking up at Carla with a rather nervous expression.
Carla was still stunned, not knowing what to say. But then again, she was in no hurry to explain.
She wanted to see how Steven would play this game and convince Lucia without her help.
After a while, Arthur entered the room.
”Lucia, why don't you go back to Yu Village? What are you still doing here?”
Arthur asked as he stroked his white beard and sat in the chair that a servant had prepared for him.
”Grandfather.”
”Grandfather.”
Both Lucia and Carla greeted Arthur with a bow.
Lucia looked at Carla from the corner of her eye, coughed a little and asked, ”Grandfather, did you really agree to Steven's… marriage with Callie?”
Another servant brought a cup of tea for Arthur. Arthur looked at Steven as soon as he heard Lucia's question. His eyes then shifted to Carla, who stood silently with her eyes down.
Even though he was old, he was well aware of the happenings in Yu Sea City.
Carrie had told him everything about Carla when she reached out to him.
His eyes sparkled with love, just looking at his eldest granddaughter.
For a while, he didn't say anything. The air in the room was thick with anticipation. He took a sip from his cup quietly, ruffled his beard and spoke somberly, ”Is that all this is about?
Lucia, Mr. Su and Callie are already acquainted with each other. They love each other very much. Why should we separate them?”
The news that Steven had drawn a portrait for Carla had spread in the entire village and had reached Arthur as well.
He appreciated Steven's deep love and devotion for his granddaughter. Indeed, Callie deserved to spend her life with an intelligent and loving man like him.
