Isabella spoke suddenly, making Grandma May sit up straight like a student in a class. “Go on, Isa. I’m all ears.”Grandma May had a smile on her face. Looking at the old lady, who was friendly and smiling, Isabella’s expression and voice softened unconsciously. “Thank you for holding me in high regard, Old Mrs. York. Since you’ve chosen me as Austin’s fiancée, you must be aware of my family’s situation.”Grandma May nodded—she knew everything.She had looked into every of her granddaughters-in-law’s family backgrounds.“I can’t live too far away from Satbury after getting married.”Isabella was straightforward. “If I date Austin, he’ll have to live with the O’Connors. I’m also a picky eater. He can’t be away for too long as he has to prepare my meals.“This means he won’t be able to visit Wiltspoon often. The York family had put much effort into raising him into a fine young man. I wouldn’t request my husband be a live-in son-in-law unless necessary.”If Austin were to ma

When asked who his fiancée was, Austin refused to reveal anything. He would have told any other person without hesitation.While Austin’s explanation sounded reasonable, Isabella felt he was hiding something. If she was his fiancée, it could explain why he was keeping it a secret. Grandma May met Isabella’s gaze. As expected of the granddaughter-in-law she had picked. She liked Isabella’s straightforward attitude.Grandma May did not give Isabella an answer. Instead, she asked, “Why do you think you’re Austin’s fiancée?”Isabella provided an explanation with a clear analysis. Anyone who heard her would have been convinced she was Austin’s fiancée. In the end, she added, “You’ve met me before, but I’ve no impression of it at all. I think you’ve been observing me secretly for Austin.”Austin had mentioned that the York men prioritized character when choosing their wives.Of course, with the Yorks’ status, their sons would always marry an elite daughter of equal social status

Isabella did not believe Grandma May’s explanation.However, she did not refute it immediately. Instead, she followed the old lady into a garden blooming with flowers of every color. It was truly vibrant as it was springtime.At the center stood a gazebo.Grandma May suggested, “Isa, let’s sit at the gazebo and enjoy the view.”Isabella accompanied her inside. When Grandma May went to sit, Isabella supported her again.Though usually cold and aloof, she was gentle, attentive, and considerate toward elders.Plus, Grandma May had long been a figure of fascination. After hearing so much about her from Austin, Isabella genuinely admired her.Once Grandma May was seated, Isabella took the opposite side.She studied the old lady for a long moment before speaking. “Old Mrs. York, I have a very tight schedule. I barely managed to squeeze these two days out to come here, solely for an answer, so I hope you won’t evade giving me an answer.“I don’t believe what you said earlier. Austin

Looking at Isabella, Grandma May nodded with a smile. “Of course. Let me show you around FC Manor then.”She turned to Elizabeth beside her. “Liz, I’ll take Isa out for a stroll.”Elizabeth nodded. “Then I’ll trouble you to host Ms. O'Connor for me.”Isabella stood and moved to offer Grandma May support, but the old lady waved her off. “No need, Isa. I may be old, but I’m not so frail that I can’t walk unaided.”Did she not realize this despite knowing she still traveled frequently?Isabella still steadied her with a light touch.Grandma May was pleased. No matter their status, the granddaughters-in-law she chose always had impeccable character. If their character were lacking, she would not have considered them in the first place.The group exited the main house.Isabella addressed her bodyguards. “Wait here. No need to follow me.”The four guards bowed respectfully and remained in place, watching as Isabella and Grandma May walked off together.“Spring has arrived and the

Grandma May smiled. “We’ve met a few times, but each time under a different identity and appearance. You’re always so busy and in a rush, so it’s normal you wouldn’t remember me.”These were just the visible encounters. Behind the scenes, the number of times Grandma May had observed Isabella without being noticed was countless.When selecting a suitable match for her grandson, she had to thoroughly investigate, inquire, and even assess whether her grandson had what it took to win Isabella’s heart.Isabella was speechless. No wonder she had no memory of this old lady at all.Elizabeth handed Chloe to the nanny, instructing her to take the little girl out to play with the boys.Those little rascals were too noisy and could not stay indoors for long. Once fed and rested, they would demand to go outside, refusing to come back even after dark.If forced to stay inside, chaos was guaranteed; their destructive capabilities were unmatched.One child alone could tear the house apart, let

“Which of your grandsons would be a good match for Isabella O’Connor? I heard she’s the head of the family, though not in the same way as Hayden Queen, who cross-dressed as a man and acted as the eldest son.“The O’Connor family has more daughters than sons, so the eldest daughter took over. Someone like her would suit your eldest grandson, but he's about to become a father soon.”Grandma May replied, “It's Austin, my sixth grandson. Zachary is definitely out, he’s been married for years. Plus, I’m very satisfied with Serenity as Zachary’s wife and I’ve never once thought of replacing her.“Austin is Liam’s younger son, Zachary’s brother. He’s well-matched with Isabella in every way. The granddaughters-in-law I pick are all treated like my own granddaughters.“I won’t let any of them suffer.”Grandma May believed every one of her grandsons had been raised to be outstanding and were very much worthy of the daughters of other prominent families.If her grandsons were useless, she w

“I need to work hard so that when people mention us, they’ll say we're a match made in heaven.”Dylan loved spinning beautiful fantasies, and Imogen could not be bothered to argue. His mouth was his own so he could say whatever he wanted.After a few more reminders, Imogen left.Dylan walked her out, even offering to drive her home, but she shot back, “You're drunk and still want to drive? I don’t have a death wish.”That shut him up. All he could do was watch as she got into her car and drove away.The rest of the night passed uneventfully.The next day, Dylan slept until the afternoon.When he rushed to Davidson Group to wait for Imogen to get off work, he was told she had already left on her business trip.She had said she would be leaving in two days, but she had gone ahead that day itself without telling him that she was leaving or even where she was headed.Dylan was a little crushed, but then he reminded himself that she was just going on a business trip, not leaving Hu

“I don’t want to create a bunch of love rivals for you either. Even if they couldn’t hurt you, I’d still hate for them to envy you or harass you.“Imogen, I belong only to you, in this life and the next. Don’t you dare push me toward anyone else.”Imogen was silent.She helped him inside and sat him down on the sofa before saying, “If anything, I should be the one finding a few love rivals for you so you’ll see that I don’t have to settle for you. If I wanted to marry, I could, anytime.”Dylan immediately grabbed her hand, gazing at her earnestly. “Imogen, I love you. I’ll always love you. Even if you found a mountain of rivals for me, I wouldn’t back down.“Time tests all things. The longer we’re together, the clearer it’ll be that we’re perfect for each other.”Imogen pulled her hand back but could not resist pinching his cheek again. “You’re shameless.”“Zachary taught all us younger ones that the first rule of winning your wife over is to be thick-skinned. We have to be abso

“Who took Kade home?”“It wasn’t you, that’s for sure. I told you both not to drink since you had to drive, but you still went ahead and did it.”Imogen scolded more, “You usually have a high alcohol tolerance, but tonight, after just two glasses, you’re acting wasted.”Dylan grinned. “I ordered strong liquor. It tastes good but hits hard, and the aftereffects are intense. I dozed off in the car earlier, so I’m feeling a bit better now.“Kade was in a bad mood and wanted to drink, so I had a couple with him to help him vent. Did he get drunk?”“Way worse than you. Dylan, you can head in by yourself. I’m heading back.”Seeing that he seemed much more alert now and could walk steadily, Imogen turned to leave.“Imogen!” Dylan grabbed her hand. “If you’re going to be a good Samaritan, go all the way! You’ve already brought me to my doorstep. Why not take me inside?“You rarely come to my place. At least stay for a glass of water.”Then, switching to a pitiful tone, he added, “I ma
