PreThe Fritz Family Makes a Moveston did not understand either.
He asked, âGrandma, why donât you agree? Lina is already 26 years old this year.
Itâs a good thing to find a suitable partner!â Grandma put down her knife and fork and said with a serious expression, âYes, you also said that Lina is 26 years old this year.
Tell me, how old is Heatherâs son this year?â Lianneâs eyes turned red.
âHeâs 23 years old this year.â Lianne felt especially uncomfortable and aggrieved.
Everyone was reminding Lianne that she was three years older than Trevor.
But Lianne was only three years older, not thirty years older! Even for an ordinary person, a three-year age difference was not a big deal.
Moreover, Lianne was a daughter of a prestigious family.
Lianne could hire a private trainer to train her, get plastic surgeries, and take good care of herself!
Besides, Lianne and Trevor really liked each other.
They still had decades before Lianne turned old.
Lianne would accept it if Trevor didnât love her anymore when she got old and ugly.
There was a risk in dating anyone.
Could Lianne be happy with anyone? Love and marriage had always been a huge gamble.
If Lianne won, she would be happy for the rest of her life.
If she lost, she would suffer a crushing defeat.
However, what could Lianne do? She liked Trevor, and she wanted to fall in love.
Even if Lianne could be scarred in the future, at least she had been young and impulsive.
At least she had him.
There was no guarantee that life would always be smooth and safe.
One could not stop going outdoors just because there were car accidents every day.
One could not avoid marriage just because there were people cheating and divorcing.
Lianneâs grandmother, Katherine, said with a serious expression, âYes, heâs only 23 years old.
In another 4 years, heâll be 27 years old.
He will only grow up then.
By that time, youâre already 30 years old and have reached the turning point for women.
Of course, itâs good now.
Youâre young and beautiful, and heâs hot-blooded.â Madam Blake started to feel sorry for her granddaughter, whose eyes were now wet.
She said, âKatherine, itâs just 3 years older.
Actually, itâs suitable.
Itâs not like in our times.
You canât tell even if a girl is 5 or 6 years older than her man, let alone 3 years older.â âThatâs right!â
Katherine raised her voice slightly.
âBack then, Selena was 2 years older than Jared.
Selena told me the same thing.
She said that she was from a different time than me.
She said that she could take good care of herself, and others couldnât tell.
But what happened in the end? As Katherine spoke, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in them.
Katherine said in pain, âThe thing I regret the most in my life is not insisting on opposing Selenaâs marriage back then.
If I had insistedâ¦â Katherine couldnât finish her sentence.
Katherine wanted to say that if she had insisted on opposing Selena and Jared being together, Selena would not have died at such a young age.
Now, Lina was looking for someone younger than her.
Katherine felt like she had returned to many years ago.
Katherine was afraid that Selenaâs tragedy would repeat itself on Lina.
Katherine had experienced too many losses in her life.
Katherineâs husband and son died in a plane crash.
She took a few years to recover from it.
Then her daughter died of an emotional illness.
Later, Preston became stupid after the car accident.
For so many years, Katherine was loyally religious and did good things.
Katherine just hoped that Preston and Lina could live a little more peacefully.
When Katherine found out that Preston was better, she was overjoyed.
Katherine knelt in front of Jesus Christ for a long time piously, thanking God for blessing her grandson to sober up.
During this period of time, Katherine was in a good mood.
Otherwise, Katherine wouldnât have stayed here for so long.
Now that Preston had secured the position as the CEO of the Blake Corporation, Katherine was prepared to leave in a few days.
Katherine didnât expect that Lina was going to be with Heatherâs son.
It was not that Katherine did not like Heatherâs son.
If Heatherâs son was a few years older, Katherine would not have said anything.
After all, she had been with Heather for so many years as a mother and daughter.
What could Katherine say about Heatherâs son? In her heart, Katherine just couldnât get past the age gap.
Trevor liked Lina now.
After a few years, Lina would have a child.
If Trevor was like Jared and found someone a few years younger than him, what would happen to Lina? Would Lina repeat Selenaâs fate? Madam Blake sighed.
âAh, in-law, itâs Jared, this evil creature, who has let Selena down.
But Trevor is different.â Katherine was stubborn.
âI donât care.
Anyone younger than Lina wonât do.
Theyâre still childish now and only think that Lina is beautiful and gentle.
They say that they like her.
When theyâre mature in the future, what will happen to Lina if they turned to like 18-year-old women?â
âGrandma, he wonât.
Heâs not that kind of person,â Lianne said.
Katherine was stubborn.
âBack then, Selena also said that Jared wasnât that kind of person.
She also said that they really loved each other.
She also said that they would love each other for the rest of their lives.
How did that end up?â Madam Blake fell silent.
In front of Katherine, Madam Blake always felt that she owed Katherine.
Lianne was extremely sad.
She felt her heart stifled, and tears filled her eyes.
Prestonâs heart ached when he saw his sister like this.
He explained, âGrandma, itâs different.
Look, Lee has been waiting for Heather for so many years.
How can his son be bad?â Katherine was in even more pain.
She said, âBack then, your grandpa treated your grandmother very well.
I thought that his son would definitely not be wrong.â The more Katherine spoke, the sadder she became.
Katherine suddenly burst into tears.
Katherine wiped her tears and choked.
âThere are so many men in the world.
Why do you have to find someone younger than you? Lina, donât blame Grandma for being ruthless.
As long as Iâm alive, I wonât agree to you finding someone younger than you no matter what.â
âGrandma, I like Trevor.â Lianneâs eyes were red as she tried her best not to cry.
âLina, listen to me.
Donât find someone younger than you.
Itâs not easy to be a woman.
Find someone older to treat you better,â Katherine advised.
âBut, I only like Trevor,â Lianne said.
âYouâre just stubborn!â Katherine could not suppress her anger anymore.
âYouâre going to sacrifice your entire life for this little bit of love?â âBut even if I find someone older than me, thereâs no guarantee of happiness!â Lianne felt extremely wronged.
Katherine said stubbornly, âAt the very least, thereâs a high chance that you will live a better life.
Your grandpa is 7 years older than me.
Also, in the past, we had a few couples of friends where the men were a lot older.
When a woman is older than her man, she is most likely not happyâ¦â âButâ¦â âNo exceptions, Lina.
Iâll do anything you want, except for this.â Katherine had never been so domineering.
The age gap had already caused Selenaâs tragedy.
How could Katherine let the tragedy repeat itself on Lina? Even if she had to be an evil person that Lina hated, Katherine had to stop her from being with Heatherâs son.
âGrandma, Iâ¦â âStop it.
I wonât agree no matter what you say,â Katherine interrupted stiffly.
Preston was about to help persuade grandma when the doorbell rang.
The servant immediately went to open the door, and Leeâs family came over.
Even the pregnant Annalise came.
