Chapter 79 A New Sweetheart
A New Sweetheart
With these words, the expressions of many individuals changed. Each stared speechless at
the other.
No one dared to eat, and the living room fell into an abrupt silence as no one dared to utter a sound. At this moment, all were anxiously gazing at Kevin.
Although Jonathan had a strained relationship with the Sanders Family, he seldom visited. He only came on specific dates and major holidays.
Still, he rarely encountered such a tense atmosphere.
As his slender and well–defined hand leisurely stirred the soup with the spoon, Jonathan’s flickering dark eyes hinted at danger.
Michael’s face darkened. Seeing that he was getting suppressed by his son in such a manner, he couldn’t help but feel angry. “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think our family needs her insignificant share? The engagement proposal is for the daughter of the Kins Family. Angela is their legitimate daughter. This marriage is per the parents‘ wishes and the matchmaker’s words. Fanny is nothing but an adopted daughter of the Kins Family. Why is she involving herself in this matter?”
At once, Jonathan chuckled. “Dad, I’m surprised that you actually asked Christopher to keep to an arranged marriage. Aren’t you the one who despises these traditions the most?”
His words weren’t merely tearing off a fig leaf. Rather, it was exposing Michael, his biological father’s secrets.
Teresa Webb was Christopher’s biological mother. Back then, she was just a poor student who had to sell herself to make a living. Teresa did not come from a notable family background, nor did she have talent. What she merely relied on was her insignificant appearance.
By chance, she was pursued by Michael, who adored freedom and despised engagement’s
constraints.
Dad is a man who caused his first wife’s death for the sake of true love. Yet, he is discussing the topic of engagement now. Does he seriously think I will buy his crap?
I’m not dumb. He is merely attempting to secure more benefits for Christopher. He fears I will leave no place for Christopher when I have complete control over the Sanders Family and the Lawsons one day.

“You! You!” Michael trembled with anger.
Compared to Michael’s loss of composure, Jonathan, who sat on his seat, appeared much more composed.
While sipping his soup, he calmly asked, “Could it be that you’re planning to let Christopher follow in the footsteps of you and Teresa? Publicly marry Angela and keep Fanny as a mistress in the suburbs?”
Jonathan’s words pierced Michael’s heart like a thorn, causing his expression to turn livid.
Kevin, who had remained silent all along, sighed. Then, he stood up and looked at Christopher. “Christopher, this is your marriage. What do you say?”
Christopher was slightly taken aback, for he never expected the decision–making power to fall on him.
Gritting his teeth, he swiftly glanced at his father before making a decisive statement. “Grandpa, I don’t fancy Angela. Although Fanny isn’t the biological daughter of the Kins Family, they had raised her since she was young. She is a good girl and is the one I have always loved.”
After expressing his opinion, he could sense Michael’s anger even though he dared not look
at him.
Kevin fell silent for a moment. Since he was aware of Jonathan’s character, he knew Jonathan. wouldn’t be so kind to intervene in Christopher’s affairs.
What is Jonathan plotting?
Kevin suppressed his thoughts. Then, he made a decision and gave his final statement. “Pick a good date, take a day off, and let’s visit the Kins Family for an engagement swap proposal.”
“Dad!” Enraged, Michael retorted, “I won’t-”
“Am I no longer capable of leading this family?” Kevin immediately interrupted him. His eyes burned with determination as he said in a deep voice, “If Christopher disagrees with this arranged marriage, then so be it. It simply means they’re not fated to be lovers.”
Seeing that he couldn’t convince his father with his words, Michael turned his scrutinizing gaze toward his disappointment of a son. “Don’t you ever regret your decision today!”
Upon hearing that, Christopher widened his eyes and growled through his teeth, “I love Fanny! She’s the one I want to marry.”

Michael’s face flushed red. He glared fiercely at Christopher before storming off.
I had planned so much for Christopher. Yet, all my efforts ended up in vain today.
I can’t believe this kid! His judgment truly has been clouded by love. What a letdown!
As Michael left, Kevin raised his gaze. “What’s wrong? Are you guys also going to stop eating now that he left?”
Acting like the incident just now didn’t happen, Kevin beckoned the butler to serve Jonathan some food. Meanwhile,
Others also began cating with various thoughts in their minds.
Once again, the atmosphere at the dining table became lively..
Over the years, Kevin had found peace and tranquility through his faith in Brydism.
With a loving expression, Kevin smiled and said, “Since you rarely come back, have some more food. I can see that you’ve been looking better lately. Are you sleeping well?”
Facing his grandfather, Jonathan softened his hostility. His voice became slightly gentle as he replied, “Yes, I have changed my doctor. Although she’s young, her medical skills are quite good. She is also quite a nag. She nags even more than you do.”
Upon hearing that, Kevin laughed and said, “As long as the doctor’s medical skills are good, age doesn’t matter.”
As for Sebastian, who knew all the circumstances, his eyes flickered a little when he heard Kevin’s words. I’d like to know if Old Mr. Sanders would still give the same remark if he knew the doctor was Angela.
After the grandfather–and–grandson duo harmoniously finished their meal, they went to the study on the second floor.
In the study, Jonathan expertly handled the tea set. Every movement was on point–elegant and skillful.
Looking at his grandson with satisfaction, Kevin asked with concern, “The reason you visit me today isn’t solely about Christopher’s affairs, right?”
At once, Jonathan stopped his actions. “Indeed, there is something else.”
Kevin looked at the cup of tea and chuckled a little. Then, he picked it up and drank it in one gulp. “Do tell.”
“I came to ask for your help in proposing.”

After a mere few seconds of surprise, every smile on Kevin’s face burst into laughter. “Sure, sure. Who are you going to propose to?”
“Angela Kins from the Kins Family
Who
Angela
Despite experiencing so many things, Kevin was still momentarily stunned. It took his brain several seconds to comprehend the situation.
He blinked his eyes. His expression became somewhat indescribable.
No wonder he kept pressing Christopher with the arranged marriage earlier. It turns out it was for this
reason.
Angela would be free from the engagement once Christopher chose Fanny.
“B–But Angela.” Kevin swiftly changed his thoughts and continued in displeasure, “Isn’t she interested in Christopher?”
A few days ago, she was still always around Christopher. The infatuation in her eyes, her tender affection, it was like she wanted to cling to Christopher
Now, with Jonathan’s move, I really am confused.
Is he attempting to rob Christopher of his marriage as his revenge against his father?
That’s not it. I know Jonathan’s character. He won’t do something so boringly stupid.
Jonathan raised his dark eyes and said, “Can’t she find a new sweetheart and leave her one- sided love for her supposed true love? After all, no one can bear hurting themselves from clinging to someone who won’t reciprocate their love.”
Upon hearing that, Kevin smiled and asked, “She is seven years younger than you, isn’t she?”
Does Jonathan not think that’s quite a significant age gap?
Jonathan looked at Kevin calmly without saying a word. His gaze made Kevin feel
discomfort after awkwardly pouring himself a cup of tea, he said, “Upon careful
consideration, Angela is almost 20 now. Indeed, she is now wise beyond her age. She can get married while in college, which is great.”

Meanwhile, inside the hospital, outside Angela’s ward.
“I am her cousin–in–law. She will definitely let me in if you wake her up.
There’s no need for that. I am already awake.

Angela stared blankly at the ceiling. The commotion outside had interrupted her precious sleep.
The man at the door simply couldn’t shut up. His voice was familiar to her. It was none other than Horace.
“Ms. May, just let them in.” Angela regained some clarity and instructed the nurse, her face filled with grievance.
May, the nurse, parted her lips and wanted to speak. Eventually, she bit back her words after realizing that besides the individual in a wheelchair, none of the individuals around Angela were normal.
It’s still early, yet her male cousin–in–law is already here to visit her?!
Horace appeared in a neatly ironed suit. Behind him was a man in casual attire wearing glasses.
“Angela, are you feeling better? This is my cousin, Felix Chandler. You two have met before.” Horace’s eyes sparkled. As soon as he entered the ward, he pushed Felix toward Angela’s bed.
