Chapter 1301 Sherlyn and Tim must not let that ideal daughter-in-law slip right out of their hands!
Since Burlington won the first prize in the Cultural Olympics, the country celebrated the victory by having a national holiday.
With that, the couple rushed home hastily.
Sherlyn went home and did not see anyone. She phoned Guy. "Guy, your father and I are home. Why are none of you here?"
"Mom, you and Father are back?" Guy was elated; he had not seen his parents for a longtime.
However, he did not explain where he was and instead said, "Grandma and I will come home now." "Okay."
Guy went downstairs to look for Grandma Granger. "Grandma, my parents are home. Let's go home and meet them." "Sherlyn and Tim are home?" Grandma Granger was excited. "Let's go home."
Since Guy had helped Charmine with her migraine, he told her he had to head home with Grandma Granger before they made their way back.
When Guy and Grandma Granger entered the residence, Sherlyn and Tim walked out to welcome them.
The two of them helped to support Grandma Granger. "Mom, why were you two not home?" "We went out to sort out some things," said Grandma Granger.
Tim nodded and did not question further as he supported her to get inside.
Sherlyn, on the other hand, turned around to hold Guy's arm. She looked at him and said, "Son, have you lost weight?" "I did?"
repeated Guy. "I don't think so."
Grandma Granger scoffed, "You prick needles into your arm every day. Of course you've lost weight!" "Grandma!" Guy's face sank.
Sherlyn frowned. "What does that mean, prick needles every day?â "Ask your son!"
Grandma Granger did not bother to speak more as she walked into the living room.
Tim quickly held onto her and sat on the sofa.
Sherlyn and Guy walked over. "Son," she began, "what is this about?" "Nothing, Mom. Don't ask."
Guy feared his parents would know, thus he shrugged them off and poured tea forthem instead.
Sherlyn did not ask further questions about that. She thought of her reason for coming home and quickly said, "Son, the lady who attended the Olympics with you yesterday... Is she your fiancee?"
Guy explained, "That's what we're known for, but she's actually..." 'Thatâs good," Sherlyn cut him off. "She's quite amazing. Her name is Charmine Jordan, isn't it? Since you're engaged, hurry up and marry her so your father and I can get a grandchild soon!
We've been waiting for many years!"
Tim nodded in agreement. "Right! She's a good match. Her personality and temperament make her good enough to be our in-
law!"
Guy frowned. "Mom, she wonât marry me, and I won't marry her." "Why? Aren't you two engaged?"
Guy explained, "Charmine is married." "She's your fiancee, isn't she?" Sherlyn frowned. "How's she married?" "She's not my fiancee, per se. It's a misunderstanding and rumor on the internet," explained Guy and did not want to cause Charmine any trouble. He added, "Mom, Charmine and I have no chance."
Sherlyn was confused. "What's the matter?"
Grandma Granger scoffed, "Sheâs using your son to protect her husband and treat her body. Your son is a fool and agreed to it."
"Grandma!" Guy frowned. 'That's not true!â
Sherlyn looked at Guy and then at Grandma Granger. "Mom, you've confused me. What happened, exactly?"
