Chapter 1982

"Tsk, your father can't keep any secrets." Nigel dropped the pretense, his face lighting up with joy. "Ryan, to be honest, Gregory and I came here today to formally discuss your marriage with Carrie."

"Grandpa Nigel..." Overwhelmed with emotion, Ryan's breath grew heavy, and his words came out in a jumble. "Grandpa... I..."

Overwhelmed with joy, he wept uncontrollably, his tears flowing like a torrential flood.
