Blakenever thought hed see the day when his own grandson would banish him abroad He looked at Beard in disbelief, ‘Do you even know who put you where you are now?”
Bernard leaned his hand against his chin and casually replied, “Of course it was you ”
Propping himself up with his walking stick, Blake scoffed. “I was beginning to think you’d forgotten”
Bernard slightly fitted his head, his indifferent gaze coldly fixed on the old man, “I wouldn’t forget, and neither would I forget your colilness back in the day”
Upon hearing this. Blake couldn’t even bear to meet his gaze and subconsciously averted his eyes. “I did wrong by you back then, but you can’t just treat your own grandfather like this over a woman, can you?” Bernard withdrew his gaze, looking out the window as he calmly said, “When I invited you to my engagement ceremony, I told you that she’s my life.

His brother was speechless. This was a bet they had made when they were ten years old. He couldn’t believe his brother still remembered it. He was over fifty now, how could his memory be so good?
While they were having their private conversation Blake still insisted on his positions, trying to stop Bernard’s marriage. “No matter what, I wont agree
Bernard scoffed, “I’m not here to ask for your opinion. I’m here to inform you. Don’t get it wrong.”
