Chapter 608 You Definitely Got My Good Genes

“Are you sure you don’t want to spend some time with your girlfriends?” Benjamin asked.

“Grandma chased me out of the house and told me to be useful,” Ethan replied bitterly. “She said that they’re going to have some girl talk, so I’m not allowed to listen.”

Benjamin chuckled because he found this quite amusing.

He understood that his wife, Agnes, wanted to know more about her future in-laws.

She must also want to know how Ethan spent his year at Brynhildr Academy. The old lady knew that the girls would hold back and only tell her wonderful things about Ethan if he were around.

Although she liked hearing those stories, she also wanted to hear about his hardships in the academy.

Ethan would always put on a brave face and tell her that everything was fine. But she knew that under that facade, her grandson must have suffered as well.

She wanted to hear these stories, especially the one about how he managed to awaken his magic.

The young man briefly explained it to her, but he didn’t elaborate on it. Because of this, she resorted to asking Luna about it instead, which the young lady was more than happy to do.

Everyone present inside the house was Ethan’s allies, so she didn’t mind telling them how she awakened his magic power.

“So, when are you planning to marry those girls?” Benjamin asked as he threw his fishing hook into the river. “Agnes asked me to ask you this question.”

“Actually, Lily’s Father, Seff, asked me to visit them if I manage to finish my business in Midgard early,” Ethan answered. “Lily and I will have a simple wedding, following their customs. So, technically, the two of us will be officially married at that time.”

“Then, wouldn’t it be better if you come here first before you go to Southshire?” Benjamin inquired. “You know that Agnes will not let you hear the end of it if she isn’t present for your wedding. You wouldn’t want that to happen, right?”

Ethan pondered for a bit then shuddered after imagining how his grandma would react if he failed to tell her about his upcoming marriage with Lily.

“I think that’s a good idea, Grandpa,” Ethan stated. “I’ll stop by here first and bring you and Grandma with me to Southshire.”

“Good decision.”

“Mmm.”

Holding a fishing rod in his hand, Ethan couldn’t help but smile, also feeling excited about his marriage to Lily.

He could have done it when they were still in the Lands of Alastor.ViiSit no(v)3lb!n(.)com for new novels

“Protector?” Benjamin scanned the beautiful lady from head to foot before shifting his attention back to her face.

“Yes.” Lilith nodded.

Benjamin then glanced at his grandson, who nodded his head in affirmation.

“Are you perhaps one of my grandson’s girlfriends?” Benjamin asked.

“Not yet,” Lilith replied. “But I’m working on it, Grandpa.”

“Good luck to you. I hope you succeed.”

“Thank you very much!”

After saying those words, Lilith bowed at Benjamin before merging with Ethan’s shadow.

The Catkin had asked Ethan for permission to introduce herself to his grandparents.

Thinking that Agnes and Benjamin would be assured once they knew that their grandson had a bodyguard who was always with him, he agreed to Lilith’s request.

He just didn’t expect that his grandpa would ask Lilith if she was his girlfriend, which ended in their current situation.

“It’s nice to be young.” Benjamin chuckled. “You were as popular as me when I was your age, Ethan. You definitely got my good genes.”

This time, it was Ethan’s turn to chuckle.

Agnes and Benjamin would often say things like “you got that trait from my genes” even though they weren’t blood-related to each other.

But Ethan didn’t mind.

For him, Agnes and Benjamin were his family and the ones who raised him with love and care.

After spending so much time with them, Ethan had copied some of their mannerism, which often made the old couple say things like “he had his good looks because of my genes” or something similar.

An hour later, Ethan and Grandpa Benjamin returned to the house after catching many fish from the river.

There, they found Agnes wiping her tears with a handkerchief as she listened to the stories about her grandson, which the young man had hidden from her.
