The call was from Henry.
The old man's tone was both commanding and consultative, "Sebastian, since you said that woman was there to console your mother, your grandma and I decided to arrange a casual family banquet this weekend. The girls of age from the noble and distinguished families of both South City and Kidon City would also come to the banquet..."
"I'm not going!" Sebastian mercilessly refused before the old man could finish his words.
The old man on the other end had no choice but to soften his tone even more. "Sebastian, don’t hang up the phone so quickly. Could you let grandpa finish words?"
Sebastian did not respond.
"Sebastian?”
"I'm listening!"
"When it comes to the Ford family business matters, I would not intervene. However, I am already 96 years old this year, you couldn't let me die before seeing you married and have children before that, right? If you take a fancy to one of the girls who would be coming t o the banquet, then that would definitely be the best, but if you do not have any person you like, I would not force you.” The old man was almost pleading to
Sebastian towards the end of his sentence.
Sebastian took a look at Selene, who was still drenched in the rain, and replied indifferently, "Fine."
After he hung up, he said to Selene, "Prepare yourself i n these few days and follow me to the Ford family to meet my grandpa this weekend."
Selene’s surprised eyes lit up. "Master Sebastian, you... What did you say? You want me to go to the Ford family with you..."
"Yes, follow me to the Ford family to meet my elders," Sebastian said, still without expression.
He was not going to pick any woman.
In his lifetime, it would be impossible for Sebastian to form profitable connections through marriages. It would be even more impossible for him to pick any girls from respected families.
His wife in this life could only be Selene, even if they did not have feelings for each other.
However, there was a sense of responsibility.
