Chapter 31: A Troublesome Dinner

As the temper of the two men continued to rise, Ian, sighed in his heart. He would need to find a way to diffuse the situation.

Clearing his throat, he turned to the lesser of the two evils, their grandfather. "Grandfather, please calm down..."

"Calm down! Tell your brother to calm down! Look at all the non-sense he is spouting! How dare he utter such blasphemous things! Arabella is like a granddaughter to me! She is the daughter of my Godson! The granddaughter of the man who gave his life to save mine! And I promised him that she would marry into my family!"

"You have many others who are a part of your family, Grandfather. I don't see why you need me to make the sacrifice. I am sure if you order Gabriel, he will do his filial duty and marry Arabella." Demon added smoothly.

It was an open secret among the brothers that Gabriel had carried a torch for Arabella since they two were in school together. While Demon was a few years older than Arabella, Gabriel was the same age as her.
