Grayson Quinn imdiately fell silent, then pondered: He really does seem a bit jealous, but why would he be jealous of another man? He's definitely straight, a genuinely straight guy!
The car drove into Nightshade Residence, and Aurelia Shaw remained asleep as Mason Nightshade carried her out of the car.
As he walked inside, Mason sensed sothing was amiss, furrowing his brow and glancing around. Sure enough, he spotted an elderly figure in the living room.
"Grandfather?" Mason was surprised. "Why have you co suddenly?"
"Shouldn't I co? You disappeared from the hospital for three or four days, and I was worried I wouldn't see you at all!" Kai Nightshade turned around, noticed the person Mason was holding, and was taken aback—his anger vanished instantly.
"This... this is... why is Aurelia here? No, no, I'm just a confused old man. You two..." Kai Nightshade looked from Mason to Aurelia. "Got back together?"
Mason knew what his grandfather wanted to hear, but unfortunately... he shook his head, "Not yet."
Kai Nightshade picked up on the important word: 'yet,' rather than 'no chance.'
Kai Nightshade's eyes brightened, "You've finally co to your senses and realized how good Aurelia is to you. Let tell you, you must win Aurelia back. She's the only granddaughter-in-law I acknowledge. If you don't win back Aurelia, don't even think about marrying another woman."
"Don't worry, grandfather. Aurelia is the only woman for ," Mason said solemnly, looking down at Aurelia.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Sophie Nye erged from the kitchen, anxiously checking Mason all over.
Seeing Mason holding Aurelia, her brow furrowed in displeasure, "Aurelia is still so inconsiderate. You've been injured, and she actually lets you hold her."
Sophie Nye's voice was sharp, and Mason frowned, glancing down at Aurelia to see she hadn't been woken up. Although his brow still furrowed, he said nothing and prepared to head upstairs.
Sophie Nye grabbed him, "Your mother is speaking to you, did you hear? I heard from the doctor that you got injured during the earthquake? Why would you go to such a rundown place like Qishan for no reason? It must be because of her again, truly a jinx on our family!"
"Mother!" Mason's voice sank, his expression turning grim.
Sophie Nye was a bit daunted by Mason's deanor and grumbled, "Dad, you too, what were you saying earlier? Saying that Aurelia is the only daughter-in-law you'll acknowledge—what if Mason and Aurelia don't reconcile? Are you really planning to keep Mason single for life? Don't you want grandchildren?"
Kai Nightshade snorted, "If they're not grandchildren born of Aurelia, why would I want them!"
"What nonsense are you talking about," Sophie Nye replied. "Mason's age is the ti when he has the strongest needs. Having one or two won outside is completely normal. If he accidentally has a child outside, will you really not let the child enter the family or acknowledge its roots?"
As Sophie spoke, she glanced at Aurelia, unsure whether she was truly asleep or pretending.
It would be best if she were pretending and heard this.
Don't think that by holding onto her son, she is truly remarkable. The Nightshade Family has no shortage of won wanting to beco daughter-in-laws.
Kai Nightshade angrily tapped his cane. "Don't think I don't know what you're scheming in your heart. If a child is not born of Aurelia, I won't recognize it, no matter which woman it cos from!"
The conversation was getting more and more absurd.
Mason had no interest in listening any further, carrying Aurelia back to the bedroom.
