‘‘Isn't that akin to incest?’
When the thought surfaced in Thomas’s head, he said in a serious voice, "That's why I want to talk
about the divorce between them."
The Lovegoods were rather surprised when they heard what Thomas had said.
After all, Thomas had been someone who knew what to do and what not to do.
However, Aaron was not going to agree with him this time.
"Elder Master Clifford, do you think that the marriage between our two families is a child's play?"
Thomas tapped the foot of the glass rhythmically, and it took him a while before he replied, "Aaron,
there are many other ways to maintain the relationship between our two families."
He looked at Violet and continued.
"That’s why I’ve decided to take Viv in as my god-granddaughter."
"What? Are you kidding me?"
Aaron rose to his feet and shouted back to Thomas despite everyone watching him, "If you take Viv as
your god-granddaughter, does this not mean that she and Jackie will become brother and sister instead
of husband and wife? Don't you think it’s ridiculous?"
Thomas raised his head slowly and said calmly, "So, are you going to let your daughter continue to
cause more scandals and live in protest? Is that what you want?"
Aaron was stumped.
Thomas continued and said, "Aaron, you're too stubborn.
Have you forgotten the tragedy that happened that year? Have you forgotten how your daughter has
become what she is today?"
Violet looked at Thomas in surprise.
‘How did he know about the things that happened that year?’ Aaron placed his hands on the table and
clenched them tightly.His expression was dark.
The meal between the two families did not go well, and it ended with Aaron’s departure.
Maisie and Nolan returned to their room.
From their conversation, they could see that Aaron was reluctant to talk about the "thing" that had
happened that year.
"Nolan." She turned around and approached him.
"What should I do? I’m really curious about it." Nolan chuckled as he took off his watch.
"What are you curious about?"
"I’m curious about Violet’s past." Nolan picked her up and put her on the table.He placed both his arms
around her and leaned closer.
With a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, he said, "It seems like my wife is really gossipy."
Maisie leaned toward the back and said halfheartedly, "So? You don’t like me anymore?"
Nolan cupped her chin with his hand and planted a kiss on her.
"When have I ever said that I don't like you anymore?"
She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "You've gone ahead and looked into the matter
yourself, so how can you say I’m gossipy?"
He chuckled.
"How did you know about that?"
Maisie lifted her eyebrows.
In fact, she only learned about it today.
When she saw Daisie coming out of the study room, she overheard his conversation with Thomas as
she passed by the study room.
She stretched his collar and said, "I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation.You should blame
the study room for having poor sound insulation."
Nolan laughed and caressed the corner of her lips with his finger.
He lowered his head to kiss her and said, "Then, don’t you think you should give me something in
return?"
In the meantime, in the study room...
Violet couldn’t believe it as she looked at the divorce papers on the desk.She lifted her head to look at
Thomas, who was standing in front of the window, and asked, "Grandpa, do you really agree with this?"
Clasping his hands behind his back, Thomas sighed.
"I know those scandals are just a form of protest against your father." He turned around slowly and
continued.
"Viv, I’ve always known that you’re a good girl.Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed with your father when
he came to talk to me about the marriage.I'm sorry.I should've considered it more carefully.I thought
you and Jackie could get along very well."
