Chapter 1314
Married at First Sight
âKevin, find a reason to invite her to a meal at one of our hotels.â
Kevin paused. âNana⦠What excuse am I going to use to invite her? Thank you for scaring my nana until she was hospitalizedâ?â
Grandma May was speechless.
Then, she said, âYouâre a smart boy, you can think of something. Donât think that I donât know what youâre thinking. Mr. Queen is a great person and is a perfect match for you. Your mouth never stops chattering, but Mr. Queen doesnât talk much. You two wonât be bored together.â
âNana, youâre also calling her Mr. Queen. When I look at her, itâs really as if Iâm looking at a man. She wonât admit that sheâs a woman either. You keep trying to push us together, but I feel like Iâm looking for a brother instead of a wife. It feels like Iâm gay.â
Grandma May laughed. âSheâs very convincing at playing the role of a man, but experienced people will be able to tell by hearing her voice. Her deliberate deep voice is different from your natural baritone.
Her voice is still crisp and bright, unlike yours which is magnetic.
âShe portrays herself as a man, but she knows very well that sheâs a woman. She just doesnât admit it.
Itâll be clear when she takes her clothes off.â
Kevin could not help but ask, âNana, am I really your grandson? If youâre upset with me, you can just beat me up with your cane. If that doesnât work, you can beat me up two, three more times. You donât need to do this to me.
âIâd get beaten to death by Mr. Queen if I dared remove her clothes. This is Jensburg, not Wiltspoon.
Jensburg is the Queensâ territory!â
Kevin complained that his nana was setting him up but his hands continued to move as he washed the cutlery. He brought over the meal he packed, served it in a bowl, and wanted to feed her, but she refused.
It was not like the old woman was really injured. She could eat by herself and did not need her grandson to feed her.
âI didnât tell you to forcibly strip her to confirm her gender. After you get acquainted with her, you can ask her to go to the hot springs with you. Canât you think of something that simple?â
Kevin was speechless.
âNana loves you the most. Didnât you see that Iâm not interfering with Callum and letting him dig his own grave? Instead, Iâm personally stepping in when it comes to you. How could you say Iâm not treating you like my grandson?â
Kevin muttered, âIâd rather you give that kind of love to Callum.â
Although Callurnâs wife candidate was blind, at least she did not dress up like a man like Hayden.
Ms. Newman must be smart if she could be chosen by his nana.
âIâve left Callum in the care of Zack and Seren, so I donât have to worry about him. I only need to Kevin could not help but ask, âCanât you let us fall in love at our own pace?â
âI am. Iâm just giving you a target and a time limit of one year. If you really canât become husband and wife within one year, Iâll give up.â
Kevin muttered, âWeâre said to be favored and giants among men, but in your eyes, weâre unmarketable products that canât be sold. Weâre not that old. Weâre all still under thirtyâfive. Look, Duncan is thirtyâsix but still unmarried.â
Kevin planned to solve his marriage when he was thirty to thirtyâfive years old.
Men like him who had busy jobs and successful careers married later rather than sooner. Case in pointâZachary was only forced to marry all of a sudden by Grandma May when he hit thirty.
Back then, Kevin was thankful that Zachary was the eldest because only the eldest would suffer something like that while the younger ones would not have to experience it. However, he forgot the fact that once Zachary was no longer around to act like a shield, none of the other brothers could escape anymore.
Only the youngest two or three could get away with it. It would be another decade or so before the youngest one could get married. By then, their nana would no longer have the energy to torture them.
Grandma May said, âDuncan already has a target, and his grandmother has passed away. If she were still alive, I guarantee she wouldâve thrown a tantrum and used every possible means to force Duncan to get married and have children.â
Kevin still remembered the late Old Mrs. Lewis. The woman was even more difficult to handle than his own nana.
Compared to Old Mrs. Lewis⦠Yep, his nana was considered much better.
