I have something to discuss with your greatgrandfather.” “Okay, Mom.” Connor led the others out of the study.
His every movement spoke volumes of a well-raised young sir from a rich family.
Mason couldn’t help but praise, “He’s a great talent.
It’s a pity that he takes the surname Williams.” Madison grinned in return.
“Are you trying to steal him from the Williamss?” Mason scratched the tip of his nose, feeling slightly guilty.
“What do you mean by steal? He’s your son, so he’s one of US too.
How fortunate of Hunter.” “Uncle Linus can grant your wish after he meets the woman of his life, Grandpa.” “And I’ll have to wait for that day to come? When pigs fly, I guess.” He seated himself, frustrated.
“We all know how good Hunter is at seeing the bigger picture.
He got married early and he now has kids.
Why don’t you talk to him? Let’s see if he’ll agree to change Connor’s surname.” “You’re putting me in a tough spot, Grandpa.
If Connor’s out of the question, there’s Zack, no?” “That little ball of mischief doesn’t seem fit for our line of industry.
He’s hyperactive.” Mason took in the details of Connor’s painting and couldn’t help lamenting that Connor was one of the Williamss.
“Oh, right.
What is it that you want to talk about?”
Madison didn’t beat about the bush.
“Grandpa, what are you going to do with Aunt Molly and Yale?” Mason gave her a fleeting glance.
“Did you come as the middleman?” “I’m a woman, and I’ve gone through a lot.
Yale has indeed been involved in many awful deeds, but he did all those for Aunt Molly.
Her body is weak to begin with.
If they break up, I’m afraid…” Grabbing a paintbrush, Mason continued painting.
“Do you know what I told the two men that night?” “I can’t read your mind.” “I have two conditions for Yale.
First, it’s to cut ties with the Kingston family.” “He has fulfilled that.” A meaningful smile appeared across his lips.
“How naive.
To cut ties for real is easier said than done, other than the blood running in their veins, it takes many other factors into account.
Even if he wants to leave them for good, they won’t grant his wish.” “What’s the second condition, then?” If the first was that difficult, the second one should be definitely on another level.
“Molly can marry him only if he gives her the Kingstons’ fortune.” Madison’s eyes widened.
Businessmen were nowhere near the politicians when it came to playing dirty games.
If Mason wasn’t her grandfather, she would’ve burst into a string of curses.
“Are you criticizing me inwardly?” Madison flashed a smile.
“Not at all.” “It’s not weird to criticize me forthat.
I might appear cruel to you guys, but Madison, the political world is scarier than you imagine.
As long as the Kingstons aren’t eliminated, I won’t be able to have a good night’s sleep.
“And Yale is the best candidate to do the job.
Only he can root them out.
I have faith in him.” “Did he give his word?” “I didn’t receive a response.
I reckon there’s a scale in his mind.
He knows what’s the most important thing to him.” How cruel.
One option was his family while the other option was his lover.
Which one would Yale choose? “What about Hunter? What kind of conditions did you give him?” If Mason didn’t hold himself back against Yale, Hunter wouldn’t have it easier either.
“I want Connor,” blurted Mason.
“He didn’t agree to it.” Madison could guess the answer without asking further.
“Yup.
And the other condition is to have him become one of the Heaths.” “And he didn’t agree to that either.” “Yes, that brat.” Unlike Yale, Hunter rejected the conditions on the spot.
Madison wore a wan smile.
“Because he knows that you’re not the biggest hurdle in our relationship-it’s our past.
I still can’t completely forgive him until today.
Even if he agrees to your conditions, he can’t do anything without my forgiveness.
“Besides, he’s the only son in his family.
How could he agree to that?” “To agree or not is a different matter from wanting to agree or not.
Madison, Hunter has options, unlike Yale.
That’s why Hunter has the power to not agree to my conditions, still, we can see that you’re not the most important existence to him.” Mason’s expression turned stern as he continued, “I know that he chose his family instead of you back then without hesitation.
Will he abandon you again in the future? You’re doing the right thing by not forgiving him.” That remark rained on Madison’s parade.
She shook her head.
“When there’s no expectations, there’s no disappointment.
That is why I don’t dare to remarry him.
I’m afraid too.” “Hunter has choices, and so do you.
Wayne’s feelings for you are genuine.
Tell me, are you interested in him? He hasn’t been married, let alone have a woman.
His status is as good as Hunter’s.
If you want it, I can arrange a marriage between the two of you.”
Madison opposed Mason’s suggestion without a second thought.
“Grandpa, if I was interested in him, I wouldn’t have run away from him.
I don’t plan on getting married again.” “Fine.” His eyes lost their glint to disappointment, but he didn’t force her.” Alright, I won’t force you.
I just hope you can be happy every day.
Don’t forget about the party tomorrow.
Do you like the gown?” “Yes, it’s pretty.
I have a request about this, Grandpa.
I don’t wish for the kids to join.” “You have a point.
We have to protect the kids.” “Grandpa, I don’t know if that person would choose to make a move tomorrow or not.
She hates me with her guts.
She’ll never miss the chance to kill me.” Mason put his paintbrush down.
“Don’t you worry, child.
Her appearance is exactly what I’m asking for.
If she has the nerve to come, I’ll make sure she won’t be able to return in one piece.
I’ve told Linus to tighten the security.” She sighed.
“It’s highly possible that she’s related to my real family.
Grandpa, do you not know where Grandma is?” Could it have something to do with something that happened during her grandmother’s or her father’s generation? Finding her grandmother might shed light on the truth.
“She left without saying goodbye that year.
I hired a lot of men to search for her, but a tsunami separated US again.
If I had held her hands tighter, she wouldn’t have left me.” Until today, the sheer thought of the scene hit home so hard.
Mason’s features contorted in grief, just like when Rose watched Jake sink into the deep sea in Titanic.
It was undeniable that humans were nothing compared to nature.
All Mason could do was to watch the wild waves devour the woman he loved.
He was washed to another city.
He searched for Natalie in many cities, but it was in vain.
At an age where letters were the only means of communication, it was difficult to find someone who had gone missing.
“It was all my fault.
I let your grandmother down.” No one knew if Natalie survived or not, and Mason eventually lost hope.
In the end, he met Tatiana and became a matrilocal son-in-law.
The two then built a family together.
Tatiana was aware that there was someone else that Mason held dearly in his heart, but it didn’t bother her since she assumed that Natalie was dead.
Yet, who would’ve known that Natalie was still alive and even gave birth to Mason’s son? Recently, Mason kept thinking back about the times he spent with Natalie.
He wondered how she got out of the sea and where she went thereafter.
“Grandpa, I don’t know what happened to you guys that year, but everything is written in the stars.
It’s been so long.
You should get over it.” “Your grandmother hates me.
I’m sure of it.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed hidden for so many years.
There was no news about her at all.” Madison patted Mason’s shoulders.
“Grandpa, I believe that we’ll be able to find her someday.” Even if Natalie had married and built a family, Mason wished to see her one more time.
“Madison, it’s getting late.
Rest up.
I’ll protect you.” The next day, the kids were in high spirits even when the sky wasn’t bright yet.
