    Carter leaned on the pillow and said, “Granddad, you were young once. I’m sure you’d been madly in


    love before. It’s difficult for a man to meet a woman who he’s willing to give everything up for. So, once


    he meets her, she’ll be the only one for him and he would do anything for her. I fell in love with Amelia


    at first sight. She’s beautiful inside and out and is respectful to her elders. It’s hard not to fall for such a


    woman.”


    Abel was speechless.


    The passions of love were a thing of the past for Abel and he had forgotten about the feelings and


    thoughts he had back then. Talking about it now, Abel recalled what it felt like to be in love. It left a


    sweet feeling in his heart.


    Even though a few decades had already passed, he was unable to forget the romance he had back


    then.


    Abel had spent many years focusing on business and was supposed to be more hard-hearted and


    decisive. However, the older he was, the more softhearted he became, especially when facing his


    family.


    “Carter, Amelia’s already someone else’s wife. I think you should let go of your feelings for her. The two


    of you aren’t destined to be together in this lifetime,” said Abel sincerely.


    “If she’s happy in her marriage, I’ll quietly watch over her. If her marriage falls apart, I’ll save her from it.


    I don’t intend to give her up in this lifetime.”


    Abel looked Carter in the eye and asked, “Do you mean that other than Amelia, you won’t consider


    marrying any other woman?”


    “Granddad, marriage is just a formality. All those couples get is a certificate.”


    “Even if it’s only just a certificate, I want you to get married. I’m already almost at the end of my life. I


    don’t want to die without seeing my great-grandchild.”


    “Two of my cousins are married, and another is already pregnant with a child. Your great-grandchild will


    come soon enough. Just don’tin that you have too many to take care ofter on.”


    Carter had skillfully deflected the problem away from him.


    Abel red at him and replied, “Don’t try to avoid the topic. I’ll give you a deadline. If she’s still happily


    married by the time you’re thirty, then you have to get married. I’ll personally select a suitable wife for


    you amongst the daughters of those rich families.”


    Carter closed his eyes. “Granddad, you have promised not to interfere with my marriage.”


    Abel replied, “You’re still young. It’s the best time to work on your career now, so I won’t intervene. But


    by the time you’re thirty, your career would be sessful and it would be the right time to start a family.


    If you marry the daughter of a rich family, it’ll be beneficial to the business too.”


    Carter looked at Abel. “Given the power of the Scotts, I don’t think I need to marry a richdy to help


    the business, right? That would make me look really useless.”


    Abel replied, “If you don’t want a richdy, fine. But you have to get married either way. Amelia’s


    already married. You’ll never have a future with her. Just get over your feelings.”


    Cartery back down, his voice was full of exhaustion. “I’m tired and I’m going to sleep now. Why don’t


    you get the chauffeur to send you back for dinner? It’s reallyte now.”


    Abel had aplicated look in his eyes.


    “Carter, tell me honestly. Do you really don’t have any feelings for Jennifer? She’s quite a good girl and


    seems to really like you. Although she’s from a rich family, she is still willing to cook for you. I’m sure


    that if the two of you get together, she’ll be a huge help to your life. Are you really not going to consider


    her at all?”


    Carter shook his head and looked at Abel with a hint of guilt. However, love could not be forced. “I


    know she treats me well and she took a lot of effort to take care of me these few days. I’m thankful for


    her but I don’t love her. I only see her as a sister. If I marry her, neither of us will be happy in the end.”


    Abel then gave Carter some advice. “It’s only because you’re obsessing over something you can’t have


    that you’re acting so stubborn. If you take a step back, you’ll find that there are so many other good


    women other than Amelia. Aren’t those pretty, young girls better than her?”


    “I have never expected you to say something so superficial.”


    Abel was caught off guard by Carter’s words.


    He had good intentions but was criticized by his own grandson in the end.


    “You brat, is this how you speak to your grandfather?” Abel red at him.


    Carter smiled sincerely. “Sorry, I know you only mean well for me, but I really have no intention to get


    married right now. I also don’t intend to join the Scott Group. You’re still healthy and strong. I’m sure


    you’ll live a long life, so you can take good care of thepany. As for your great-grandchildren, you


    can look for my cousins. They’ll be happy to entertain you.”


    Abel’s eyes widened. “Nonsense! I won’t force you to get married, but you definitely have to take over


    thepany! I’m getting old and your father and uncles aren’t fit to manage thepany. All your


    cousins only know how to y around so they can’t handle such an important task. I’ll only feel at ease


    if you take over thepany.”


    Carter fell silent.


    Abel then suggested a bold deal. “As long as you agree to return to thepany, I’ll take my hands off


    of your issue with Amelia.”


    Carter instantly brightened up. He said excitedly, “Granddad, do you really mean it?”


    “Weren’t you trying to trap me into saying this anyway? I watched you grow up. Don’t think I don’t know


    what you’re thinking.”


    Instead of feeling guilty, Carter smiled. “Looks like experience reallyes with age. I can’t keep


    anything from you.”


    Abel broke into a smile. “You brat. How dare you y tricks on your granddad.”


    “It’s because you taught me well. Who else would I learn my debate skills from?”


    “Fine, stop your nonsense. I won’t interfere in your business with Amelia anymore, on the premise of


    her being single. She’s now married to Oscar and is a daughter-inw of the Clinton family. Even


    though our family is also rich, it doesn’t quitepare to theirs. So as long as she’s still married to


    Oscar, you can’t have anything to do with her. Our family can’t handle it if the Clintons want to cause


    trouble. Even if both families were affected, the Scotts will definitely be the one at a greater loss. I


    developed Scott Group into what it is today. I don’t want to see it copsing just because of a woman.”


    Carter made a solemn promise. “Granddad, I know my limits.”


    “But you went overboard just now. If it weren’t for Oscar’s generosity, our stocks would have been


    unstable by tomorrow. You’re a capable man, but in terms of managing your emotions, you are


    nowhere close to Oscar.”


    At first, Carter had brightened up. However, by the time Abel finished his sentence, Carter’s expression


    had darkened.


    “Am I really that badpared to him?”


    Abel knew what Carter was concerned about. When it came to one’s love rival, no man wanted to lose


    to the other.


    “I think highly of you, so naturally, you’re very capable. However, you’re still not that goodpares to


    Oscar. Youck some decisiveness. Don’t be so overly cautious and indecisive and you’ll be a better


    match to him.”


    Carter’s expression worsened.


    “I’ve nevercked decisiveness. It’s just that no one has given me a chance to show my abilities. Four


    or five years ago, I was too young. Now, the woman I love is already married to someone else.


    Everything’s happening too quickly. No one has ever stopped to ask if all this is really what I want.”


    Abel patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t overthink it and just rest up. You have a lot of work to do once


    you get back to work. Jennifer’s been dealing with thepany matters while you were unconscious


    these few days. No matter what, you have to thank her. Even if you don’t be lovers, don’t ever


    burn the bridges.”


    Carter pondered for a while before nodding eventually.


    “Get some rest. I’ll go to the washroom.” While Abel took care of his business, Carter thought about the


    situation.


    Carter and Abel had finally managed to reach some kind of agreement. On the other hand, when Oscar


    had first left the ward with Amelia, he had an unhappy expression. “How does it feel to hear your


    admirer talking to you so sweetly?”


    Amelia sniggered before trying tofort Oscar. “Mr. Clinton, don’t overthink. Carter and I are just old


    friends. There’s nothing else between us.”


    Oscar dragged Amelia to the staircase and pinned her against the wall. He gave her a condescending


    look. “Do you think I’m stupid? You told me that you haven’t been contacting him. Then, why would he


    say that you promised to give him a chance to pursue you?”


    Amelia’s throat felt dry. “If I told you that Carter never had a chance toe between us, would you


    believe me?”


    Oscar was taken aback.


    Amelia continued, “I’ve never flirted with other men, so Carter may have misunderstood something to


    have said that. Instead, you’re the one who is constantly fickle throughout our rtionship. You married


    me but can’t seem to forget your ex-girlfriend. Between Ms. Yard and I, you’ve always favored her. I


    don’t get why you think you can question me like that. You’re treating me as if I’m some promiscuous


    woman.”


    Oscar’s gaze on her never shifted.


    Amelia said, “Mr. Clinton, I may look strong, but it doesn’t mean that I’m just as strong on the inside for


    I get hurt too. If you want a divorce, I can sign the papers right away. But could you not use me of


    having anything to do with Carter? The two of us are just friends.”


    Oscar stroked her cheek, then wiped away the tears that slipped out the corner of her eye. “Why are


    you crying?”


    She lifted her hand to her eye. It was indeed wet.


    Amelia was surprised. Ever since she got pregnant, she had been crying a lot. It was as if she had


    be a delicate flower that could not withstand the slightest torment.


    Oscar stepped forward and their bodies pressed closer together. His hot breath tickled Amelia’s face.


    “Why are you crying? Because I have misunderstood you and Carter?” Oscar clearly knew the reason


    but pretended as if he did not.


    Amelia held her tears back and replied stubbornly, “I’m not crying. That was sand in my eye.”


    Oscar wanted tough. Since when did his wife be so cute, learning how to tell such a bad lie.


    “Okay, it was the sand. My woman is tough and strong, why would she cry so easily?” Oscar jokingly


    replied.


    Amelia shot him an angry look. “Who are you calling tough?”


    “You’re the only one here. Of course, I’m talking about you.” Oscar was in one of the rare moments of a


    good mood.


    Amelia pounded her fists against his chest, and spoke coquettishly, “Why did you misunderstand me


    then?”


    Oscar brought one of her hands to his mouth and nibbled the back of her hand. “Didn’t you say you


    were hungry? Let’s go eat. I’ve already reserved a ce.”


    Amelia nodded.
