Minlan obviously did not dare to not let him in and immediately greeted him politely, “Old master, quickly come in and have a seat. I will go and make a pot of tea for you.”
“Thank you!” Old Master Grafton was also very polite.
When Minlan was making tea, she was also a little absent-minded. She guessed that old master would not come to ask for Archie’s hand in marriage.
When she thought of this matter, Minlan immediately became alert.
If old master really proposed marriage to her later, she would have many reasons to reject him.
Thinking about this, she heaved a sigh of relief again. Carrying the tea, she walked to the living room.
“Old master, have some tea!” Minlan smiled and poured him a cup.
“Thank you!” Old Master Grafton picked it up, took a sip, and put it down. He said, “Mrs. Sandford, I came today because I have something to tell you.”
“Oh, what is it? I can’t trouble you to make a trip.” Minlan pretended not to know.
Old Master Grafton smiled faintly. “I have been retired for a long time. The only thing I care about now is the marriage of my grandson, Aerchie.”
“Old master, you have come here. Don’t tell me you want your grandson to be with my Emma.” At this point, Minlan did not want to play dumb and asked casually. She laughed mockingly again, “Old master, you have always looked down on my Emma. You said that she could not bear the child and chased her out of the wedding. This was a joke at that time. If it wasn’t for the fact that Emma is a sensible child, I’m afraid that the two families would have already shed all pretenses and started a fight.”
Old Master Grafton laughed awkwardly. “You are right. It was me who was senile back then. Emma was a sensible and generous good child. In the past, I was senile and could not see her well. Now I have to admit that she is really not bad.”
Minlan saw the old man’s modest expression and felt that something was not right in her heart.
If the old master agreed that Archie would pursue her daughter, she was afraid that Archie’s actions would be even crazier. At that time, it would be very difficult to reject him.
“But the reason I came here today is not because of your little girl, but because I want to tell you about Archie and Luisa.” Old Master Grafton’s face suddenly became serious.
Minlan was shocked again.
“I want to withdraw this marriage. Mrs. Sandford, do you have any objections?” Old Master Grafton asked in a deep voice.
Minlan’s body stiffened and her face was somewhat pale. She forced herself to remain calm, “Old master, your grandson, and my daughter have signed an agreement. It does not seem appropriate for you to cancel the engagement like this.”
“Actually, this is not my intention. It is the intention of the old lady when she was alive. As long as the elders of the two families agree to the annulment of the engagement, then this matter will not have any legal effect.” Old Master Grafton said confidently.
“The old lady has passed away. The will she left behind did not mention this matter. So, old master, it’s not that we don’t agree. But. . . This agreement cannot be canceled.” Minlan also replied very calmly.
Old Master Grafton. After that, he took out a recording pen from his pocket.
He pressed the button and heard the old lady call him to record when she was still alive.
The old lady mentioned the matter of agreeing to revoke the marriage. She also begged Old Master Grafton to agree to Archie and Emma’s marriage and not make things difficult for the two young men.
Minlan’s entire body turned cold and her two hands trembled as she clenched them tightly.
Old Master Grafton put the recording pen into his embrace and his tone was somewhat resolute. “Mrs. Sandford, this recording was recorded by the old lady when she was alive. She was the one who took the initiative to withdraw from this marriage. You all should not have any objections, right?”
