You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 445

"He's..." Xenia didn't expect Augustine to ask her this. She smiled awkwardly and replied, "We broke up."

"Why?"

Augustine immediately grew slightly anxious when he heard that his precious granddaughter had broken up with her boyfriend.

Xenia was already not young at this age. As her grandfather, he hoped his granddaughter could enjoy a good marriage. He also remembered the excitement that Xenia had when she told him that she had a boyfriend.

"Well, Grandpa, it's normal for young people to have an on-and-off kind of relationship, isn't it?" Xenia was afraid of Augustine's interrogation, so she quickly raised her glass and said, "Grandpa, it's Thanksgiving today. I wish you a happy holiday. From now onwards, I'll be accompanying you every Thanksgiving."

Seeing his granddaughter like this, Augustine was filled with sadness. Although he clanged his wine glass with Xenia's, after taking a sip, Augustine pressed on, "Sweetheart, tell me the truth, is it because of the question you asked me last time?"

"Which one?"

"That his mother was not willing to attend the wedding."

The experienced Augustine could easily guess Xenia's intention at once.

Xenia had tried to ask this question last time, and suddenly they had broken up. Augustine knew that Xenia must be afraid of bringing shame to the Lowell Group.

"No, we were not suitable for each other." Xenia knew that Augustine had guessed it, but she did not dare to admit it. "He is a doctor. He works overtime every day and has no time to accompany me."

"But before you were together, didn't you already know that he was a doctor? Didn't you know that he was going to work overtime?"

"I didn't think it was a big deal but it's really different when we're together."

Xenia tried hard to hide the truth, afraid that Augustine would expose her.

Although she was good at lying, she was no master in front of Augustine.

"Call him over after a few days," Augustine said.

Augustine had never met Harvey, so he wanted to meet him. He thought that if he wasn't too bad, then it didn't matter if his mother didn't attend the wedding.

He couldn't let pride affect Xenia's happiness.

"Grandpa, we broke up. How can he come over if we don't contact each other anymore?" "Xenia." As soon as Augustine saw Xenia's reaction, he knew that she had something to hide from him. "You are my most precious granddaughter. You've never talked about your boyfriend all these years so I know that you really like this guy..."

"It's... It's not that I like him very much either."

"Well, regardless of whether you have broken up or not, I want to see him. Why don't you call him now and let's have a talk?"

Augustine's mind was set.

"There's no need for that. I don't have his number."

"Tell me what his name is and I'll ask my investigator."

"Grandpa, I'll leave if you continue with this."

This was the first time that Xenia had seen Augustine so persistent. He kept requesting to see Harvey again and again.

"Alright, alright." Realizing that Xenia was really angry, Augustine quickly said, "Forget it, I just wanted to care about my darling granddaughter's life. Since you don't want me to get involved in it, I won't be."

"Grandpa, I will find a better grandson-in-law for you in the future."

"Yeah, you can choose any one of them. It's fine as long as you like him."

Augustine smiled happily and took another sip of wine. In his mind, having Xenia's company was good enough, so he didn't want to do anything else.

Although Augustine didn't care whether Harvey's parents would attend their wedding or not, Laura still refused to give up.

When Harvey returned home with his things, Laura wasn't around. He immediately asked, "Dad, where's Mom?"

"Headed to the spa."

Rudolph Felton, Harvey's father, was reading the newspaper on the sofa alone.

Harvey had an older brother in his family and Rudolph had already retired, allowing the next generation to take over their family birthright. His life was considerably more leisurely.
