the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1027: I Already Have Someone I Like

Crystal Landon looked at the heavy red booklet in her hand, feeling as if it weighed a thousand pounds. She threw herself into the old lady’s arms, buried her little face in her embrace, and sobbed, "Grandma Shaw, does this mean I have to have children for the Shaw Family in my lifetime to repay these debts?"

The old lady was amused by her, gently rubbing her little head, and said with a smile, "Silly child, you’re already a granddaughter-in-law of the Shaw Family, there’s no need to talk about repaying debts."

Crystal still wanted to ask more about her biological parents, but seeing the old lady’s tired face, evidently fatigued from the day’s many events, she held her tongue and didn’t ask.

The old lady got up and asked her grandson to help her to bed, while Crystal sat alone in the living room, unable to collect her thoughts for a long time.

Richard Shaw helped the old lady into the room to rest, and seeing her solemn demeanor, he knew that the storm he had anticipated for so long was finally coming.

The man got up, poured the old lady a glass of water, and said softly, "Grandma, what do you want to say?"

The old lady was already very tired; dealing with the Landon Family had exhausted her energy. She was also angry today, but this matter needed to be seized on while the iron was hot. Otherwise, once her grandson’s vacation ended and he slipped away, he would only show his face once every few years, dragging things out without a resolve.

"You have eight days of vacation left. Apply for marriage now, and you can get approval within seven days. Once Crystal enters the Shaw Family, you can go wherever you want, and I won’t meddle," the old lady said, leaning back on the sofa cushion in the room, her voice heavy. "Today, I want a straight answer from you."

Richard Shaw’s handsome face showed a hint of coldness as he said in a low voice, "Crystal and I have no emotional foundation. If you really like her, Grandma, just recognize her as a granddaughter. The work I’ve been involved in these years is very dangerous, not suitable for marriage."

The old lady had guessed he would say this, reaching out and slapping his hand, sadly saying, "Even if I did recognize her as a granddaughter, this child will eventually marry out. If she encounters someone like the Landon Family again, what can I do? I’ve watched you grow up and know your temperament. As long as she’s in the Shaw Family, she won’t suffer any grievances. Now, whether you’re willing or not, you have to marry her."

Towards the end, the old lady’s attitude became more forceful. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Richard Shaw furrowed his handsome brows, looking at his grandmother, and said hoarsely, "I already have someone I like, Grandma."

The old lady sneered, "Don’t think that just because you’ve been outside these past few years, I don’t know many things. With her background, how can she be worthy of being Mrs. Shaw? You’ll have to go further in the future and uphold the Shaw Family’s honor, passing it down. She can’t support you at all and might even become your burden. Do you still want to marry her?"

The old lady’s voice became increasingly severe towards the end.

Richard Shaw’s expression darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I promised her brother to take good care of her. There are obligations here too."

When the old lady heard him mention obligations, she suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Thinking of those old memories, a hint of pain appeared on her face, and her eyes turned red.

Richard Shaw saw his always shrewd and forbearing grandmother in such distress, unable to control her expression, and his heart sank slightly. He stood up and said in a low voice, "Grandma, please don’t be sad."

"I’m not sad, I’m heartbroken," the old lady said with a choke in her voice.
