“Stop bringing her up,” Kenneth suddenly said.
Liam was stunned for a moment before replying, “Are you talking about Nat?”
Kenneth pursed his lips, his eyes flaring with coldness.
Liam stared at him. “Have you made up your mind?”
“I always knew what I wanted.”
Liam could not help but smile. There's no way I don't think what my grandson is thinking. I raised him, after all! Although he says he doesn't like her, his actions say otherwise. “All right. I'll stop talking about her. If that's the case, have you taken a liking to Thea?”
At that moment, Thea had just returned from shopping and was going to enter. When she heard Liam bringing her up, she decided not to go inside but listen in, her heart beating like mad as she waited.
“These are two different matters,” Kenneth replied.
“How could this be two different matters? Or perhaps you think she'll continue to wait for you forever?” Liam pressed on.
Kenneth felt a bit exasperated from all the questions. “Does it mean that you accept her?”
“As long as you can get married as soon as possible and give birth to a greatgrandchild for the Hamilton family, I'll agree even if you marry a blind woman,” Liam answered.
Kenneth was rendered speechless.
However, Liam did not seem to be joking by how earnest he looked.
Meanwhile, Thea felt a surge of happiness while listening outside the door. She was always worried about Liam obstructing her relationship with Kenneth. Thus, despite feeling uncomfortable with Liam comparing her to a blind woman, she felt relaxed knowing he was at least not against her being together with Kenneth.
“I will do as I see fit,” Kenneth replied.
“All right. If that's the case, I'll give you one month to settle this,” Liam agreed.
One month? “Why don't you just sell me off?” Kenneth asked in exasperation.
“I don't have a choice. You're the only son in the family. If I could sell you, there's no way I'll keep you till now,” Liam answered sarcastically.
Kenneth was at a loss of words, for he was not a match for his grandfather in terms of arguing.
“I've always felt guilty toward your relationship with Nat. Now that I know she doesn't blame me and that both of you have parted on good terms, I can finally stop worrying about it. Later, I'll recommend a few suitable men for Nat.”
Kenneth furrowed his eyebrows and gazed at Liam. Although the latter seemed nonchalant, Kenneth knew he was doing it on purpose.
“Are you going to get her a new boyfriend?” Kenneth asked.
Liam nodded. “That's right.” “Don't you think it's inappropriate?” Kenneth was helpless.
“What's inappropriate about that? Both of you have already gotten a divorce. Besides, I'm happy she's still concerned about me and calls me Old Mr. Hamilton. That's why I wish for her to find someone to spend the rest of her life with. What's so improper about that? Or perhaps... are you against this idea?” Liam tried to pry.
Kenneth laughed coldly. “No way. I just don't want your kindness to go to waste.”
“What do you mean?”
“She already has a boyfriend,” Kenneth answered.
“She has a boyfriend? Why didn't I hear about this?” Liam furrowed his eyebrows.
Kenneth felt ironic recalling the sweet voice she put on while on the phone outside of Infinitium's restroom.
“It's not like she's obligated to tell you. Remember. You're my grandpa, not hers,”
Kenneth said in a matter-of-factly.
However, Liam was not interested in that. “How do you know she has a boyfriend?”
Kenneth furrowed his eyebrows and replied unwillingly, “I've seen him.”
“You've seen him? When? How is he like?” Liam pressed on.
