A Crazy Night Novel

One of our own… Sheridan found those words ironic.

Regardless of how hard Barnaby tried, Sheridan would never allow Nigel to join the Stone family, which would be the equivalent of inviting his enemy into his house.

This decision is mine and has nothing to do with anyone else,” Sheridan said grimly. “Grandpa, I’ve already stated my stance clearly at the family banquet. I object to Nigel and his son being recognized in our family. There’s no way the Stone family can tolerate the presence of an illegitimate son. Please don’t put me in a difficult position for your own selfish reasons.”

Barnaby paced back and forth in front of Sheridan, outraged and frustrated by the response.

“They won’t threaten your position in the Stone family. After my death, everything under my name will be yours. What they’re looking for is just official recognition. Is it really too much to ask? Sheridan, I hav always thought that you were a reasonable person. I’m surprised to see that you’re just as stubborn as you father. Christina isn’t suitable for you, and let’s not forget that she’s married to Nathaniel and even has children with him. If you’re looking to settle down. I can find someone who’s much better suited for you.

Barnaby’s sincere advice fell on deaf ears. Sheridan knew exactly what he wanted. He only wanted to win something with his own effort and wasn’t interested in any promises regardless of how attractive they were

Now that Sheridan had established himself as the head of the family, Barnaby was no longer capable of changing his mind.

“Grandpa, don’t believe the baseless rumors out there. I don’t deny that Mrs. Lazuli attempted to matchmake both of us and we did meet up a few times. Even though we’re on good terms, I have no romantic feelings for her. What we share is just mutual admiration for each other.” A sarcastic glint flasher across Sheridan’s eyes. “I don’t mind you finding a companion to spend the rest of your days with, but Mrs. Lazuli isn’t a good candidate. Also, I’m certain that everyone else within the Stone family objects to it Grandpa, I’m sure the last thing you want is to see the Stone family walking down the same path as the Gibson family.”

Upon having his underlying intention exposed, Barnaby blushed and denied it in a guilty tone. “Sheridan, what nonsense are you spouting? It will be embarrassing if word of this gets out.”

A smirk flashed across Sheridan’s face. “I’m glad you’re aware of that. It would be inappropriate of me to interfere in the affairs of my elders.”

Barnaby suddenly felt as if his authority had disappeared. In fact, if he continued to stay, he felt that Sheridan would rip away whatever self-respect he still had left.
