Bab 181: Chapter 7 & Side Story 4

Chapter 7

BlackPine Country

At Cole's giant-size family dining table, Marcos Cole conversed with his old-time friend, Henry Celestine. Alex Cole was eating as his eyes observed his sons and future daughter-in-law. Alvaro was silent with a gentleman's face, as usual, and Maxine looked downcast. While Alexis was fidgeting with his red wig.

"So with all the preparations, I believe we could push the wedding by next year? After all, my granddaughter only deserves the best. We want to plan things carefully," Henry said and squeezed Maxine's shoulder.

Maxine let out a timid smile before she went back to being meek.

"Of course, we also want the grandest wedding. We're talking about my firstborn grandson, after all. My heir to the clan," Marcos said with a laugh.

Álvaro's hold on his spoon tightened, and his smile was no longer on his face.
