"To me," Matilda paused, her voice steady but tinged with irritation, "those words mean nothing anymore. Yvan, if you claim you can uncover who's been stirring the pot behind my back, then show me something concrete. I'm not dumb enough to forgive a man who once had me thrown in jail."
Without another word, Matilda turned on her heel, Logan trailing behind her, as Yvan stood there, the darkness in his eyes deepening by the second...
Matilda thought it was just another hiccup in her life, but the next day, the news exploded. Sea City's very own Mr. Boyd was reportedly ready to embrace love once again.
Yvan getting married? To whom?
The news hit Yvan during a meeting, and he exploded in anger. Who had leaked such a thing?!
Investigations revealed that it was his own grandmother.
Not only did she spill the beans about Rachel, but she also openly acknowledged the existence of the Boyd family's daughter, admitting that they had wronged her in the past and now it was Yvan's turn to make amends by marrying her.
But Yvan couldn't agree less. That evening, upon returning home, he found Opal had already welcomed both Lynn and Rachel into the Boyd residence. Usually stoic, Yvan was on the verge of losing it, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
The matriarch scoffed, "Weren't you head over heels in love with Rachel a few years back? And now you refuse to marry her?"
"Grandma..." Yvan, seeing the expressions on Rachel and Lynn's faces, felt an unexplained irritation, "Can't you let me handle this?"
"Lynn is a Boyd, blood of our blood. How can I not intervene? I'll have you know, the wedding is in a few days. Don't think I'm unaware you've been single all these years waiting for Matilda."
