He leaned on a cane and stood tall in the living room Despite being 75, this old man looked youthful, full of vim and vigor. There was a cold aura about him Eleanor could feel his presence even before she got close to him. She needed to muster the courage, firm up her nerves, and step up to him.
âGrandpa Blake She greeted him politely Only then did Blake shift his attention from the surroundings to her. His gaze was calm and deep, as if he was scanning Eleanor from head to toe Eleanor felt his cold stare, and it was making her nervous. But she kept her coul and didnât show any fear. Seeing that Blake stayed silent, she suggested they sit down, âGrandpa Blake, why dont we sit down and have a chat?â
She motioned for him to take a seat on the couch, but he waved her off. âNo need. Iâll just say a few words and then I leave,â
Blakeâs voice was hoary, but it was still strong and compelling You had to obey his wish.
Eleanor had no choice but to retract her hand and look up at the tall Blake, âGrandpa Blake, is there something youâd like to tell me?â
She didnât directly ask why he was looking for her, but asked what he wanted to tell her, as a sign of respect Hearing this, a hint of disdain in Blakeâs eyes faded slightly. He looked at Eleanor and asked, âOn the night Bernard proposed to you, all the elders of the Laurence family were invited.Do you know why we didnât attend?â
Eleanor got his point, but she pretended not to know and shook her head, âGrandpa Blake, please do tell.â
Blake straightened up and said coldly, âI donât approve of your marriageâ

Hearing his intention, Eleanor felt a sense of relief, âGrandpa Blake, all decisions about my marriage to Bernard are made by him. If you disagree, please discuss it with him.â
She and Bernard had gone through a lot. Now, at this final stage, they were facing opposition from the elders. This was beyond her control. All she could do was hand it over to Bernard Blake didnât expect that this seemingly prim and proper young lady could stay cool under his pressure and even throw the ball back in his court.
He sized up Eleanor again. This woman must have known that he had voiced his opposition to their marriage in front of Bernard. That was why she dared to suggest he discuss it with Bernard. This woman seemed to have deep thoughts. No wonder his grandson was so smitten with her.
Blake dropped his disdain and became wary. âMs Shultz, my grandson is head over heels for you. He will definitely marry you, so dont try to fob me off with him. Letâs be straightforward with each otherâ
Eleanor noted his tone getting serious and her heart raced, â
Before she could respond, the old man cut her off, I wonât beat around the bush. As an elder, I just have a few questions for you.â
Eleanor tightened her grip and nodded, âSure, sir. Fire awayâ
-Blake raised a finger and asked Eleanor, âFirst question, does your background match up to my grandsonâs?â
