Seizing the moment, Dane said earnestly, “Erick, I’ll rely on your wisdom in the future.”

Susan shot Dane a sharp look.

This was her grandfather, after all.

How could he say that?

Erick’s laughter boomed heartily.

“Of course, I’m here for you both.”

Suddenly, Susan felt like an outsider.

How had Dane and her grandfather become so close?

“Young folks should venture out more.

Don’t hover around me; I need my rest, and frankly, I can’t get it with you here all the time,”

Erick chided them playfully, waving them away.

Understanding Erick’s intent for them to spend time alone, Susan reluctantly agreed.

As she and Dane left the hospital room, Susan noticed the men in black leaning casually against the railing.

Remembering Erick’s earlier words, she realized the truth.

“These men in black-did you send them to guard my grandfather? Did you do this for me?”

“Of course, you silly girl,” Dane replied, his tone laced with mild exasperation.

Susan rubbed her head, speechless for a moment.

Dane had kept helping her silently, and she had been too oblivious to recognize his care.

“Then you should have just told me directly.

If you don’t say anything, how am I supposed to guess?” Susan retorted, her lips pouting slightly.

Dane pinched her cheek playfully.

“You’re probably the only one who couldn’t figure it out.”

Susan shot him a glare, but he simply laughed, taking her hand in his.

“My mom has always wanted a daughter-in-law.

When are we getting married?”

“Isn’t it too early for that?” Susan’s face turned a vivid shade of red.

They hadn’t been together long, and here he was, already talking about marriage?

“It’s not too early.” Dane shook his head, his resolve clear.

“I’ve made up my mind about you, and so has my family.”

Susan’s blush deepened.

“Let me think about it.”

“Take your time.

I’ll be waiting for you,” Dane said, his eyes twinkling with mirth.

In that moment, he was genuinely elated.

At Edge Entertainment, Madisyn had been toiling for several hours and was gearing up to leave for the fashion show when her phone rang.

Andrew’s voice came through the speaker.

“Has your brother made up with Susan?” he asked.

“What? You already know?” Madisyn was taken aback.

“Yes.” Andrew recounted with a hint of amusement in his voice, “He came to see me just now, boasting that his tie was expertly tied by his girlfriend.”

Madisyn couldn’t quite picture her brother exhibiting such behavior.
