Dahlia wiped away a tear, her features softening to a youthful innocence that mirrored her past self.

Sienna was still hesitant. “But even if it's for publicity, we shouldn't drag Mr. Harris into this, right? I

know you two have been on and off for years, but if you really want a resolution... Dahlia, this isn't

the way to go about it. He's not the type to respond well to pressure.”

Dahlia nodded, “I appreciate you looking out for me, but the thing between us is something only we

understand! You don't really know what he's like. Sienna, let's drop the topic of Nolan from now on,

okay? I have my plans.

By the way, can you order some takeout for everyone later? I admit, I was shallow just now, losing

my temper at them.”

Sienna nodded with concern, “Don’t worry, everyone gets that you're not really mad at them.”

But she knew this kind of carrot-and-stick approach could only work for so long before people

started getting truly upset.

Once Sienna left, Dahlia’s expression hardened. “Useless fools, can't even handle a simple

away.

"Hmph, to think I had to learn from my friend that my grandson has a girlfriend! Didn't e know I had

a granddaughter-in-law!”

His grandfather was also visibly annoyed. They were old, sure, but they weren't out of touch. Why

Dahlia wasn't like that, whatever it was, it was all in the past.

"Where are Mom and Dad?” Nolan asked, changing the subject.

Grandma's frustration only grew. “Look at you, hardly ever home, and now you don't even know

where your own parents are.”

Nolan knew then, it was his day of reckoning.

“Talian, where did Mom and Dad go?”

Talian rushed out of the kitchen, drying her hands. “They went on a trip, been out for a week now.

They sent you a message, sir. Didn't you know?”

"Uh, okay, got it now, you can go back to what you were doing,” Nolan said awkwardly, realizing his

parents’ message must have gotten buried under work stuff.

“Grandma, didn’t you ask me to come home for dinner? I thought you were setting me up on a

blind date or something.”

Nolan asked nonchalantly, and his grandmother looked at him, frustrated yet concerned. “Come sit
