Chapter 924 Mr. An Arrives In Advance

"Wait!"

Steven shouted suddenly, "You're too late! Your grandfather has agreed to my marriage to Callie. Why don't you talk to him about this?"

Seeing that Carla was at a loss of words, he figured he needed to find a way to save himself from the mess that lay ahead of him. Thankfully, he was a quick-witted man.

"What did you say?"

Lucia stopped pacing and said in astonishment, "That's impossible! How could grandfather intervene in this issue?

He has stayed out of it for so many years! He never cared about the affairs of the younger people!"

"Callie is his granddaughter, so it isn't surprising. If you don't believe it, you can go ask him,"

answered Steven, looking up at Carla with a rather nervous expression.

Carla was still stunned, not knowing what to say. But then again, she was in no hurry to explain.

She wanted to see how Steven would play this game and convince Lucia without her help.

After a while, Arthur entered the room.

"Lucia, why don't you go back to Yu Village? What are you still doing here?"

Arthur asked as he stroked his white beard and sat in the chair that a servant had prepared for him.

"Grandfather."

"Grandfather."

Both Lucia and Carla greeted Arthur with a bow.

Lucia looked at Carla from the corner of her eye, coughed a little and asked, "Grandfather, did you really agree to Steven's… marriage with Callie?"

Another servant brought a cup of tea for Arthur. Arthur looked at Steven as soon as he heard Lucia's question. His eyes then shifted to Carla, who stood silently with her eyes down.

Even though he was old, he was well aware of the happenings in Yu Sea City.

Carrie had told him everything about Carla when she reached out to him.

His eyes sparkled with love, just looking at his eldest granddaughter.

For a while, he didn't say anything. The air in the room was thick with anticipation. He took a sip from his cup quietly, ruffled his beard and spoke somberly, "Is that all this is about?

Lucia, Mr. Su and Callie are already acquainted with each other. They love each other very much. Why should we separate them?"

The news that Steven had drawn a portrait for Carla had spread in the entire village and had reached Arthur as well.

He appreciated Steven's deep love and devotion for his granddaughter. Indeed, Callie deserved to spend her life with an intelligent and loving man like him.

Lucia clenched her fists tightly, furious at his words. Obviously, Arthur was on Carla's side. Once again, she felt left out.

Carla stood confused, unable to understand what was going on. She was about to say something but Steven stepped forward.

"Thank you for your approval, sir Arthur. I just had a tiny fight with Callie, and she splashed water all over me. I'm afraid she is still mad at me..."

Steven looked at Carla and spoke in a rather affectionate tone.

"That is not true! Steven, your mouth is full of sh-"

Carla didn't get

her to be loved and taken care of by two men.

But sometimes, it was just hard to change someone's perspective.

A moment later, Steven came over and sat beside Carla. He took the teapot and poured tea for all three of them. Then, he handed a cup to Arthur with a smile. He did the same to Carla, but she refused to meet his eyes or smile back at him.

"Thank you, Arthur! I'm so grateful for all your help!"

Steven spoke as he raised his own cup to toast him.

Arthur raised his cup with a warm smile, while internally understanding the dilemma he was in.

It wasn't a good idea, but he had no choice as Carla had refused to help him.

"Haha, you are a smart man! I've heard about what happened to you before. But Lucia has gone too far this time. You are Mayor Su's son. She not only acted impulsively, but also embarrassed our family!"

Arthur sipped from his cup and then continued further with a few creases on his old face.

"Mr. Su is quite sensible. I hope he is able to understand you once you go back. Lucia is young and impulsive. Please don't take her actions to heart."

Lucia had always thought she was the most powerful person in this world. But there was always someone stronger. It was time for her to learn a lesson.

The reason she had gotten away with it last time was because Mayor Su didn't want to make a scene.

"Don't worry, Arthur. I've called my father and informed him I'm fine. He won't make a big deal out of this. He simply has no time for it!"

Steven assured Arthur respectfully, looking at Carla from the corner of his eye. She had a far-off look on her face, like she wasn't mentally present there.

Her fingers fiddled absentmindedly with the nuts on the table, her mind drifting somewhere far away.

Suddenly, she heard Carol call her from a distance, "Mrs. An!"

"What's the matter?" Carla asked when Carol came closer.

"Mrs. An, Mr. An is arriving shortly!" Carol whispered quietly in Carla's ear.
