“Unfair?” Old Master Shen looked at him puzzled, “Why?”.

Maddox pondered for a moment and then said slowly, “I don’t love her. I cannot give her happiness.”

Old Master Shen laughed.

“Love can be cultivated. If you love Miss Yayoi, you can also love Wendy.”

“Impossible.” Maddox said confidently, “I only love Yayoi. I only want to marry her in my life.”

The smile on Old Master Shen’s face was disappearing. He looked more serious and his gaze became sharper.

He asked in a deep voice, “Maddox, are you disturbing me?”

Maddox curved his lips slightly, “Grandfather, I don’t want to upset you. I’m just showing my attitude.”

“But your attitude bothers me.” Old Master Shen said coldly. “Now that you have shown your attitude, then I will also show mine. As long as I am still alive, I will definitely not let that woman be a member of the Shen Family.”

Old Master Shen had said this before, so Maddox was very calm.

He just laughed softly, “Grandfather, both of us have clearly shown our attitudes. By the way, Yayoi and I really love each other. If you can’t accept her, I have no choice but to leave home.”

Old Master Shen narrowed his eyes, revealing a sharp light.

“Young man, are you threatening me?”

Maddox smiled.

“No, Grandfather, I am not threatening you. I’m just expressing my determination to you.”

“You….”

Old Master Shen was annoyed by Maddox’s attitude. Suddenly his chest hurt, and Old Master Shen quickly covered his chest with his hands.

Maddox panicked at first, but quickly calmed down. Looking at Old master Shen’s face that was writhing in pain, Maddox said with a mocking smile. “Grandfather, you don’t have to fake this illness. I know you’re pretending to be sick to force me to give in.”

Old Master Shen looked at him with pain and disappointment.

At that moment, Wendy walked in.

Seeing Old Man Shen clutching his chest, she hurried to open the nightstand drawer and take out a bottle of pills.

She untied the lid, poured several pills into Elder Shen’s palm and poured him a glass of water.

After taking them, he gave her some water and stroked her chest to make her feel better.

Noticing Wendy’s behavior, Maddox frowned and unconsciously asked, “What are the pills for?”

Wendy looked at him and answered truthfully, “For angina pectoris.”

“Angina pectoris?” Maddox frowned and turned to look at Old Master Shen, who was already feeling better. “Grandfather, when did you develop angina pectoris?”

Old Master Shen looked at him coldly and snorted, “I developed angina because of you!”.

Maddox closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Wendy hesitated for a moment and then said, “Maddox, I heard what you just said on the other side of the door. If you don’t want to marry me, I won’t force you…”.

Maddox looked at her in surprise, as Old Master Shen excitedly stopped her, “Wendy, what are you talking about?”.

Wendy smiled at Old Master Shen and pleaded, “Grandpa, please calm down. Let me explain, okay?”.

Looking at her pleading expression, Old Master Shen sighed helplessly, “Okay, go ahead.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Wendy smiled and looked at Maddox. She did not hide her love for him in her eyes. She smiled bitterly and said, “Maddox, I know you don’t love me and that you will probably never fall in love with me. Therefore, I don’t want to force you to marry me. If we marry, not only you and I, but also Grandfather and the entire Shen Family will live in great pain. I am not a legitimate member of the Shen Family. Grandfather Old Master Shen took pity on me and brought me home. In fact, Grandpa Old Grandmaster Shen has paid my grandfather by raising me.”

Wendy looked at Old Master Shen with tears in her eyes.

She pursed her lips and continued with a smile, “I owe a debt of gratitude to the Shen Family. I will repay it. I can break the engagement between us and give you freedom.”

“Wendy, you owe the Shen Family nothing.”

After Old Master Shen heard her words, he felt more sorry for her, because she was so sensible.

Maddox did not expect such a change in her attitude. He did not know what to do and could only look at her dumbfounded.

The slight sadness in her eyes made him feel somewhat guilty.

When they were young, they got along well.

She always called him ‘Maddox’ and followed him everywhere. After she went abroad, they contacted less and less.

After she came home, they had grown very distant. And because of the engagement, he didn’t even treat her politely.

It seemed that he was too unfriendly.

“Wendy, are you serious?” asked Maddox hesitantly.

Wendy replied with a smile, “Maddox, I’m serious.”

Maddox had a mixed feeling when he heard her call him Maddox in the same way as before. He looked at her deeply for a long moment before saying, “Thank you, Wendy.”

Wendy lifted her lips and smiled.

Then she lowered her head to hide the sadness in her eyes.

This was the only way he was kind to her.

She was very sad.

They came to an agreement, but Old Master Shen did not agree at all.

“Wendy, you don’t have to do this. In my heart, you are my granddaughter-in-law, the only one.”

“Grandfather…” Wendy looked helplessly at Old Master Shen and then at Shen Maddox.

Maddox smiled helplessly and patiently persuaded him, “Grandfather, now that Wendy is willing to do it, why are you so stubborn, do you really want us to live unhappily together?”

Old Master Shen looked at him coldly.

He was as stubborn as ever.

“I told you that love can be nurtured. When you marry Wendy, you’ll know what a good girl she is. You’ll see she’s much better than Yayoi.”

“Grandfather, how can I make it clear to you? As good as Wendy is, I don’t love her. I only want Yayoi. Yayoi is the only one I love in the world.”

Before they got angry again, Wendy was quick to say, “Maddox, go back to work now. I’ll convince Grandpa.”

She signaled Maddox to leave.

Maddox looked angrily at Old Master Shen and then hurried out of that stuffy room.
