Chapter 171: Making a Deal
Rose was still in shock when Evan entered the room. When their eyes met, she seemed to ask Evan to help her escape this awkward situation.
Evan calmly smiled as he walked into the room. "Rose, I’m sorry to make you wait...." Evan sat right beside Rose as he held her hand to calm her. "This old man is my grandpa. His name is Arthur Collins. Just call him Grandpa." Then Evan looked at his grandpa. "Grandpa, this is my fiance. Her name is Rose Wilson."
"E-Evan, you won’t believe it!" Rose gripped Evan’s hand tightly, feeling a thrill. "I met Grandpa Arthur in Vale City. Do you remember? Have I told you about my encounter with an old man in the park? Well, it’s him, your grandpa...." Rose’s eyes are beaming excitedly. "I still couldn’t believe it. How could God arrange our encounter like that? It felt like I was in a movie. It’s hard to believe!"
Evan almost choked when he heard her last two sentences. "Hmm, I remember." Of course, he remembered. It was he who took his Grandfather there. But Evan remains silent. He didn’t want to expose his Grandfather’s secrets.
Rose then looked at Arthur with her sparkling-looking eyes. She still couldn’t believe this coincidence. It was unbelievable. However, she realized that it must be God who arranged all of this. She can meet Evan’s grandpa in such circumstances.
"Grandpa Arthur, I’m so happy to meet you at Vale City. How’s your health? Everything is fine now?" Rose is concerned about Grandpa Arthur Alzheimer’s disease. What if the disease relapsed again? It would be troublesome if he met the wrong person who knew he was the owner of the Collins Group.
"Evan! You should pay more attention to your Grandfather. And can you ask someone to accompany him anywhere? Or make sure he uses a bracelet that contains his guardian contact. During my time at the park, I felt terrible to think Grandpa would never remember his family. I even intended to take him to the police station...." Rose looked at Evan with a serious look as she scolded him. It makes Evan rendered speechless.
Evan could only exchange glances with his Grandfather, and they seemed to communicate through their eyes.
His grandpa is really something. How could he not tell the truth to Rose that he never had Alzheimer’s disease!? Their meeting had been planned, not a coincidence. Until now, he was still confused why his Grandfather didn’t try to become an actor when his acting was this good!?
Later...
When Rose excused going to the powder room. Evan used this opportunity to make a deal with his Grandfather. He wanted to take advantage of this situation. How could he let this opportunity slip away?
"I’ll tell her..." Evan said with a calm but cunning smile adorning his face.
Arthur Collins ignored his grandson’s words, staring straight ahead at Rose, walking away towards the powder room. After the girl disappeared behind the door, he looked at his grandson.
"Don’t you dare!" Arthur Collins threatens his grandson. However, it only took him a few seconds to change his mind. Because he could see how serious and determined the look in his grandson’s eyes was. "Fine! Brat, tell me, what do you want?"
Evan stroked his brow gently while smiling happily.
How could this old man change his mind as fast as he breathes?
"Damn it! It was easy to get what I wanted just because Grandpa didn’t want his play to be exposed." Evan muttered in his heart.
"Well, I just need you to take care of my father. To tell you the truth, that man doesn’t like your future daughter-in-law. I was afraid he would do something to her or her mother."
"Leave it to me. I’ll throw that fool to our Africa branch if he messes up with Rose or her mother. Let him stay there for five years with his brainless woman...." Arthur shook his head. He hated his only son for bringing a stupid woman into his family. "Anything else?" Arthur Collins felt strange when his grandson didn’t request anything else.
"I don’t need anything else."
"Are you sure? Don’t you want Collins Group shares? Or a mansion? Island?" Arthur raised his thick eyebrows in confusion at his grandson’s attitude. Since he could make money, he never wanted to own the Collins Group. "If you want the Collins group, I can replace your father if you want!"
"No need, Grandpa! I’ve been busy with my company. And in the future, I’ll also be busy taking care of my wife...." Evan didn’t want to be busy managing multiple companies. Just one, Starlight Investment. If he had to take over Collins Group, he would have to sacrifice his time and can’t be with Rose. He doesn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps, putting the company ahead of his family.
"Would you be able to make Rose happy if you only had one source of income? Women like it when their husbands are rich and powerful...." Arthur Collins smirks.
"Rose is different, Grandpa! You already knew the first time you met her, right!?" Evan soft chuckled as he knew his grandpa wanted to lure him to join Collins’s group. He will never do that. Not even if his life depends on it.
Evan deliberately doesn’t want to open up about his other assets. His family only knows that he only has Starlight Investment. They will never find out that Dream Inc is his company. He will never reveal this to them. Dream Inc is his last resort to face off with his father if his father continues to interfere with his relationship with Rose.
Arthur Collins took a deep sigh before he said, "I know! That’s why I immediately liked that little girl..." Arthur drinks his water to clear his throat.
"So, when will you guys get married? I hope you guys don’t delay too long. I can’t wait long. I’m old and want to see you get married and have kids." Arthur Collins asks again. He liked Rose and wouldn’t even mind if his grandson married her soon.
Evan wasn’t surprised anymore by his Grandfather’s question. Ever since he found out they were dating, his Grandfather often asked about their wedding plans. Frequently he also asked him to immediately formalize his relationship with Rose.
"No worries, Grandpa. We will register our marriage tomorrow morning."
Arthur Collins was stunned. "So fast!? Did her mother know you would register your marriage?"
"Yes. Aunt Molly Wilson already gave us her blessing...."
"How about the wedding ceremony?" Arthur raises his brow looking at Rose and Evan.
"For now, we didn’t have a plan. I will follow Rose’s will. If she wants a party, then I will make a grand wedding for her...." Evan said calmly. So far, he has never heard Rose say anything about the wedding ceremony. As a man, he didn’t really like events like that. But, he wanted to make a beautiful memory for his wife, and he would follow her wish.
"Yes. You need to ask your lady what kind of wedding she hopes for. She may have wanted a grand wedding like any other woman, right!?" Evan nods in agreement to his Grandfather.
