Chapter 503: Chapter 503



“Alright,” Adrian responded, taking her hand.

“We’ll do it together.”

“Yes.” Joelle cradled his face, and the tall man bent his head to her with compliance.

“Don’t worry, Adrian, I’m not leaving you.” Wrapping her in his arms, Adrian said, “Even if you did, I wouldn’t hold it against you. Yet, it means the world to me that you choose me.”

“Silly.” Joelle lifted her hand to admire her diamond ring, which gleamed brilliantly in the light.

The family of three set off for the airport early the next morning. Not long after they left, Mila and Stephen arrived for a visit. Leah received them.

“Where’s Adrian?” Stephen asked.

Aware of the recent trouble Mila and Stephen had stirred for Adrian and Joelle, Leah’s response was cold and distant. “They’re on a trip, sort of a honeymoon.”

Mila winced a little. “When are they supposed to return?”

“I’m not sure. They’re taking some time to relax. Mr. Miller has been so busy over the years; he’s eager to devote more time to his family now.”

Leah’s tone hinted at the deep bond between the couple.

Stephen had come with the intention to resolve some issues and, if needed, was prepared to insist on a familial alliance. However, he found he was too late.

“Mila, let’s return home. I will find someone better for you.” Mila couldn’t hold back her anger and threw a cushion to the floor.

“Do you think this is your home?” Leah seized the moment to express her own irritation.

“Make a scene in your own house! There’s no need to act all high and mighty around here.” Mila’s expression turned scornful.

“And who are you to raise your voice at me?”

“Why shouldn’t I? You come into this house acting superior. Is that how you behave?”

Stephen pounded on the table. “You will not speak to my granddaughter that way! Apologize now!”

“Apologize for what?” Leah retorted, her attitude aggressive.

“Before Mr. Miller left, he said if anyone from the Finch family came, we didn’t need to be polite!”

Adrian had foreseen such an encounter.

Stephen was seething.

“How dare he disrespect me like this?”

“Mr. Miller told us that the Finch family is constantly plotting against others and has no shame. We don’t owe any courtesy to people like that!”

“This is ridiculous!” Stephen clutched his chest. “You overstep your boundaries, acting as if you own the place!”

His anger was evident, though his voice had grown weak and loud.

Mila was startled and quickly supported him.

“Grandpa, are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Stephen managed to say, steadying himself. “You nagging woman, apologize to my granddaughter.”
