"The Saxon Family and the Simmons Family are different, but if you want to marry me, getting the Saxon Family’s approval isn’t the only thing, there’s another person’s nod that is equally important." As he said this, Matthew Saxon furrowed his brow slightly.

Scarlett Yates looked up at him, "Are you talking about your grandfather?"

"Yes, in a few hours, his plane will arrive, and you will come with me to meet him."

Ian Douglas is coming?

Scarlett suddenly felt a headache.

She weakly asked, "Matthew Saxon, can I not go?"

"No way." Matthew Saxon laughed as he looked at her, "You must go. I know Grandfather might have some objections to you but rest assured, as long as I insist on marrying you, he can’t do anything about it."

"Remember, no matter what he says or does to you, don’t take it seriously. As long as we stay firm, he will have to compromise."

Ian Douglas, like those old men from the Simmons Family, is a bit stubborn, and has his heart set on me marrying Pearl Simmons.

After hearing about the engagement between Scarlett and me, he immediately called and scolded me thoroughly, threatening that he would never agree to our marriage, no matter what. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

During this visit, he might try some tricks as a last-ditch effort.

Matthew Saxon naturally wasn’t afraid of his antics, but he was worried Scarlett might feel wronged.

Hence, he gave Scarlett a precautionary warning beforehand.

"Matthew Saxon, if he’s truly dissatisfied with me and insists on objecting to us being together, what will you do?"

Sigh, she almost forgot about Ian Douglas.

Upon hearing Matthew Saxon mention him, all those unpleasant memories started flooding her mind bit by bit.

Matthew took her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it gently, looking at her with tender eyes, "Then I’ll just have to take you somewhere he can’t find us, and we’ll try hard to have a baby. Once we give him a great-grandchild, he won’t be able to oppose us anymore."

Scarlett lightly punched his chest, staring at him in embarrassment, "Can you be serious for a moment."

"I came up with this idea after careful consideration; how is it not serious? If we want him to agree, this is the best way."

Knock, knock, knock.

Lena Ayles stood outside the door, her vantage point giving her a full view of the couple’s intimate interaction, and naturally, she could see the warmth and adoration in Matthew Saxon’s eyes.

She lamented inwardly, why did the President choose that little girl who hasn’t fully matured yet?

At first, she was utterly disdainful of this little girl, and now he’s so infatuated with her.

As Lena thought about it, she became more apprehensive, worrying Scarlett might be a cunning woman who finally succeeded in climbing up, wondering if she’d hold a grudge against her previous arrogance and rudeness.

If she whispers complaints to the President and says she dislikes Lena, wouldn’t she lose her job?

"Come in."

As the knock sounded, Matthew Saxon took another look at the time. When Lena entered with coffee, he raised his gaze and addressed her, "Secretary Ayles."

Already worried about her job security, Lena was startled by Matthew’s greeting, causing her hands to tremble slightly and spill coffee on her light gray skirt.

Rarely did she appear so clumsy. Matthew Saxon frowned slightly, "Dinner is reserved at East Garden; go book it and tell them we’ll be there at seven."

"Oh, okay, alright."
