Chapter 289 My Granddaughter-in-Law
George was left alone, motionlessly sitting on the sofa in a daze.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Eugene had arrived at the Nolan residence. When Old Man Nolan saw Olivia, he was overjoyed. Then, he looked behind the two of them and asked, “Where’s North?”
“Master Merlin, North is at school,” said Olivia.
Old Man Nolan nodded in reply before he asked, “Haven’t the holidays started yet?”
“It’ll start in a few days.”
“Once the holidays start, let him stay with me for a few days.”
“Okay,” Olivia replied.
Eugene didn’t even have a chance to join in the conversation, and he had to wait for a long while for them to finish chatting before hurriedly showing off, “Grandpa, Olivia is now my girlfriend!” After he finished speaking, he took Olivia into his arms with a smug look on his face.
Olivia frowned. Why did he suddenly bring this up in front of Old Man Nolan? Even though he doesn’t mind that I have a child, it doesn’t mean Old Man Nolan doesn’t mind either. After all, wealthy and powerful families like theirs pay more attention to blood relations.
Even if Old Man Nolan likes North, North is not Eugene’s son after all. I fear that they might express even a bit of disgust toward us. I won’t be able to handle it, even if it’s just a little!
Old Man Nolan was shocked when he heard this, but unexpectedly, he patted Eugene on the shoulder twice in excitement. With a proud expression, he said, “Good lad! You sure have the same demeanor that I used to have when I was young!” As he spoke, he grabbed Olivia’s hand and patted it as he softly said, “Oh my granddaughter-in-law, even though Rocky seems to have a bad temper, he’s really dedicated to love.
Moreover, the men of the Nolan family all have the fine tradition of being afraid of our wives. If this b*stard dares to bully you in the future, let me know. I’ll help you teach him a lesson!”
Old Man Nolan’s tone was like that of a fortune teller who had set up a stall by the roadside. He commented on Eugene’s temper, family background, and his family education with mixed criticism and praise, but all of them were the truth.
Hearing this, Olivia felt speechless and amused. She never imagined this would happen and never thought that Old Man Nolan would be so open-minded. Not only did he not dislike her and her son, but he also seemed to really like them!
As for Eugene, he was speechless. Grandpa called me by my nickname again. I’m fine with that, but since when do we have the fine tradition of being afraid of our wives? “Grandpa, your words make it sound like I’m a man who couldn’t find a lover. Are you trying to sell me out?”
Old Man Nolan tugged on his goatee and snorted disdainfully, “Do you think that you’re not? You’ve been single for 28 years. Only Olivia isn’t disgusted by you and is willing to accept you!” Eugene was unwilling to admit defeat so he said, “The reason I was single for 28 years was to wait for my darling Olivia!”
Hearing this, Olivia was rendered speechless. This pair of grandfather and grandson are really amusing. Look at them singing the same tune!
Then, she glared at Eugene coldly, secretly warning him with her gaze. You’re just a trial boyfriend. Can you not be such a show off? Eugene narrowed his eyes and grinned, his gaze filled with love as he looked her at. I’m just trying to make Old Man Nolan happy!
Naturally, their exchange of glances didn’t escape Old Man Nolan’s sharp eyes. He stroked his goatee and laughed. “Olivia, Rocky is not young anymore. If he passes your test, you two should get married!”
Olivia was stunned and speechless. We’re already talking about marriage now? Why is he in such a hurry? Furthermore, I only agreed to let him be my trial boyfriend. What test is Old Man Nolan talking about?
Is he talking about the one when I asked Eugene to disappear for ten days and see which days he doesn’t show up? Well, he completely failed that test!
However, Old Man Nolan didn’t care about what Olivia was thinking at all. At that moment, his face was glowing happily and he never stopped smiling.
“Olivia, when the two of you get married, I’ll give you both a great gift!” Eugene knew that his grandfather was anxious to see him get married, but even he felt that everything was going too fast and he was afraid that it would scare his girlfriend away.
