Chapter 385

Slightly anxious, Daniel said, “Zeke, why don’t you guys head back first?”

“General North made it clear that he wants us to watch over them. If we leave, and they get up, he might blame it on us. It definitely won’t be a nice scene then.”

Zeke assured him, “Dad, don’t worry. General North gave personal orders for them to kneel. Even if we leave now, they will not dare to go against his orders.”

“Let’s head back together.”

Pondering for a moment, Daniel finally nodded and agreed, “That made sense.”

After which, he got into the car as well.

In the car, Lacey suddenly let out a long sigh, “Grandma sacrificed her youth for Grandpa and went through thick and thin with him. She even bore him a son. Surely she must be credited for all her hard work, even though it seemed like she didn’t achieve much.”

“Why was Grandpa this harsh on her? Why was he so ruthless? I’ve always thought husbands and wives would be more loving towards each other. How can he be so cold-hearted and emotionless?”

“Zeke, I hope you don’t treat me like how my grandpa did to my grandmother.”

Inhaling deeply, Zeke said, “Lacey, stay away from me and cover your face. Otherwise, you might get blood all over you.”

This illogical response made Lacey and her family extremely puzzled.

Lacey asked, “What do you mean?”

Zeke replied angrily, “Why are you comparing me to your grandfather? Am I a scumbag to you?”

“I am going to explode in anger soon.”

Lacey was speechless.

Standing beside them, Hannah and Daniel were at a loss for words too.

Lacey turned slightly frustrated, “This is a serious topic. Can you not joke around?”

Then, Zeke nodded and suggested in a serious manner, “Lacey, why don’t we register for marriage tomorrow?”

The two had a rough journey throughout their romantic relationship. Initially, their families opposed their marriage.

Later on, after their families accepted the couple, Lacey was preoccupied with setting up the Hinton Group. Hence, up till now, the two still had not registered their marriage.

Lacey suddenly turned angry, “No, you still haven’t passed my test.”

Zeke became the frantic one now, “What do you mean I haven’t passed? I thought I was doing well.”

“Lacey, can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? Where can I improve?”

Taking a deep breath, Lacey said, “Well, there’s still one more thing... and it’s really important!”

“What is it?” Zeke asked.

Lacey huffed, “Hmph, any man with a brain would know, but I suppose you are too dumb to think about it! So go and think about it yourself. I won’t tell you!”

Daniel was also confused, “One more thing? Really important? What is it? Why don’t I know about this?”

Hannah rolled her eyes, “That’s because you are dumb too.”

“I regret marrying you precisely because you didn’t do it.”

It seemed like Hannah knew exactly what Lacey was referring to.

Zeke wanted to ask for her help, but Lacey stopped him before he could go further, “Don’t even try to ask my mom. Keep your lips zipped.”

“Mom, don’t tell Zeke. If you do, there’s no meaning to this anymore.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll do as you say,” Hannah agreed.

That being said, Zeke continued to ponder over this for the entire journey. However, he racked his brains and still could not find an answer, so naturally, he was extremely puzzled.

After a while, they arrived at the estate.

Just as the car drove in, an electric bike appeared out of nowhere from the small alley around the corner.

Zeke quickly stepped on the brakes.

The car came to a sudden halt. However, the biker looked distracted, and instead of stopping the bike, he accelerated in their direction.
