It was already late at night when Ryan arrived home.

Yasmin was on her way out of the laundry room with a basket of clothes, when she noticed that Ryan had come back. She quickly set aside her work to greet him.

"Where's Carrie? Is she asleep?" Ryan took off his suit jacket and tossed it to her. His face was flushed with excitement.

"Young Madam is already asleep."

"Oh..." Ryan felt slightly disappointed but quickly smiled again. "Well, I'll let her know in the morning then."

Yasmin blinked and asked, "Young Master Hoffman, is there good news?"

"Grandpa agreed." Ryan's charming eyes sparkled brightly, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Grandpa agreed for me to marry Carrie!"

"Really?!" Yasmin felt a surge of happiness, tears glistening in her eyes. "Congratulations! It's like a dream come true for you and Young Madam. This is just amazing!"

"On the way back, my mother also called me and said she could also agree to accept Carrie, but on the condition that Zoe comes back." Ryan's gaze turned cold.

He said, "How absurd. When did my sweet mother learn to negotiate? Does she really think that I won't marry Carrie if she doesn't agree?"

Yasmin nodded in agreement. Claire often struggled to make clear decisions on important issues. Since Finn passed away, Ryan has been the main support for the household. Otherwise, Liam would have long taken over.
