Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 993:

A profound sense of gratitude welled up in Paul as he looked at Everett. The Brock family had given him more than just a second chance.

If Everett’s grandfather hadn’t saved him all those years ago, Paul knew he would never have had the chance to reunite with his wife and daughters.

Although he had only met Everett once and had never kept in touch, seeing him now felt strangely familiar to Paul, as if he were reconnecting with an old friend.

As soon as Everett finished speaking, Paul stepped forward with a warm smile.

“So, where’s your grandfather these days?” Everett had been raised overseas by his grandfather since he was a young boy, building a bond with him that ran deep, like roots.

At the mention of his grandfather, Everett’s expression softened.

“He’s still abroad,” he replied.

“I couldn’t say exactly where—he loves to roam and rarely stays in one place for long.”

“Ah,” Paul nodded thoughtfully, giving Everett an approving once-over.

“Well, you turned out just fine. Handsome as you were as a boy.”

Everett chuckled.

“Thank you, Mr. Nash. I’m glad I didn’t let you down. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the face to ask for Marissa’s hand.”

Marissa, caught off guard, blushed. She hadn’t expected Everett to bring up their engagement so casually; she wasn’t quite ready to face it herself and hadn’t yet figured out how to discuss it with him.

Balthasar and Sergio, overhearing this, exchanged puzzled looks with each other. During the long video call last night, Paul had mentioned nothing about Marissa’s engagement to Everett.

Paul finally revealed, his tone softening, “Yes, Marissa and Everett do have an engagement. It was something I arranged with Everett’s grandfather. Years ago, after I fell off the Rose Cliff, I nearly lost my life—Everett’s grandfather saved me.”noveldrama

Balthasar and Sergio nodded, the pieces falling into place.

After a moment of silence, Balthasar turned to Marissa, his voice thoughtful.

“Marissa, did you divorce Connor just to honor this engagement with Everett?”

Marissa was caught off guard by Balthasar’s assumption. She wanted to explain that her divorce from Connor had nothing to do with Everett, but she stopped herself. Her explanation might complicate things further, so she chose to let it be.
