Chapter 797 - Engagement (1)

As a result, she met Conrad at the door and was called to the study room, and chatted for more than an hour. Conrad originally did not approve of her being together with Eliot, but he didn't expect that Sydnee was so rebellious. Not only did she sleep over at Eliot's house, but she did not even spend a night when she returned home. She spoke like a different person. Conrad wanted to teach her a lesson according to the family law and have Sydnee grounded.

However, he was afraid that someone would ask what had happened, especially his relatives, so he and other family members kept silent. But when Sydnee returned this time, her attitude was still very fierce.

Conrad had been rigorous all his life, and he could not figure out why he had such a rebellious granddaughter who did such shameless things.

However, after Sydnee told him everything that had happened since she knew Eliot, Conrad finally had a re-evaluation of Eliot and understood Sydnee's resistance and determination.

"He is a nice person. Bring him back. I want to meet him next time," Conrad said.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Sydnee hugged him happily.

The Dickersons had always been strict. Sydnee had always been afraid of Conrad since she was a child because Conrad had always kept a grim face. She was not a person who liked to act spoiled at home, and she had never acted coquettishly towards Conrad. Now, it was the first time that she expressed her love for Conrad so enthusiastically after she grew up. Conrad froze for a long time and then patted her hand and said, "As for your parents, leave them to me."

"Thank you, grandpa!" Sydnee intimately hugged him again.

"Alright, alright, behave yourself," Conrad said with a faint smile.

"Got it, grandpa."

"So, you still plan to live with Eliot?" Conrad said sincerely, "You'd better stay at home before you get married. Otherwise, it will be bad for both your reputation and him."

"I know, grandpa." Sydnee replied, "The first night I went to his house, he asked me to go home, but I refused. I know I am willful. I did something wrong, but he didn't hurt me. He respected me very much. We've known each other for so long. He is the best person I've ever met."

"I believe in you and him." Conrad took a sip of tea and said, "But Sydnee, we are in a society where there are many things that we can't help ourselves with. Your parents care about the gazes of others because they care about you. They hope you will have no gossip when you get married, and they don't want others to cough up dirt on you. It's not selfish, nor for the Dickerson family. They just worry about you."

Sydnee lowered her head and listened carefully, almost crying.

"Indeed, Eliot didn't have any backing behind him, but he has the ability. Now his father has passed away, and his mother is still in jail. His legs are crippled. Your parents are only thinking about you and haven't despised him at all. As your family, we all hope that you can live a better life. We have never thought that you can bring glory to our family. The Dickersons have been honest and upright for so many years. We only want to lead a blameless life. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I do," Sydnee said in a hoarse voice.

"It's good that you can listen to me. Your parents may be too anxious to speak too harshly." Conrad put down his teacup. "Choose a date and bring him here. We want to announce your engagement to Eliot. What of life you will live all depends on you."

"Okay, thank you, grandpa." Sydnee wiped his tears and hugged Conrad again, "I'm sorry."

"I'll talk to your parents first. You can come back later." Conrad stood up and left.

Sydnee sat alone in the study room for a long time. She remembered that she had been well-behaved all these years. She had always followed her parents 'arrangements until last year. After she encountered Marquise, she had changed her mind about love. And she began to change in other aspects.

Maybe it was because she had changed that her parents thought she was rebellious.

After Conrad came out, Sydnee entered Janice's room again. Janice had just been overwhelmed with anger, and now she was lying in bed. Ryan wore a bad expression.

Sydnee apologized.

Janice asked, "Will you come back?"

Ryan wanted to say something, but he swallowed it at least.

"Yes. Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry," said Sydnee as she walked to the bed and sat down.

Sydnee stayed at the Dickerson's that night. When she came out for a walk after dinner, she heard Conrad say, "Eliot used to call me."

However, Conrad didn't tell Sydnee the content of the conversation.

When Sydnee returned to her room, she called Eliot and asked him a few times, but he didn't say anything. Sydnee finally gave up and only asked him when he would come to see her parents.

"How about tomorrow," Eliot answered.

"So fast!" Sydnee was surprised.

"You're not here. I'm not used to it," Eliot suddenly said in a low voice.

Sydnee blushed. Since the night they spent on the cruise, the two had become much more intimate. Although they had not made love, Sydnee would blush for a long time every time she thought of it.

A dog barking came from the other side of the line.

"You have Miro with you." Sydnee smiled.

"We both have no partner," Eliot sighed.

Sydnee laughed.
