218 Looks Like This Boy Finally Got Some Backbone
Agnes, Chloe, Luna, and Emma were all in the kitchen preparing their lunch.
The three girls asked the old lady if there was anything they could help with, and Agnes gratefully accepted their offer.
‘My good grandson has good taste,’ Agnes thought as she looked at the three beautiful girls who were helping her with cooking.
Just a day ago, she was having a hard time choosing who among them was most suitable to become Ethan’s girlfriend.
But after hearing Ethan’s declaration of his intention to have five wives, she no longer needed to choose.
Since all of them were good girls, she would just accept the three of them. After all, all good things must belong to her family!
Ethan, on the other hand, was with his grandfather, Benjamin. The two were in the fields.
After getting money from Ethan, the two elders no longer needed to work on the farm. They had been able to hire people to help them do it.
“Are you not planning to cut your hair?” Benjamin asked as he looked at his grandson, whose long hair reached down to his waist.
“No, Grandpa,” Ethan replied. “Why? Does it not look good on me?”
Benjamin smiled. “Fortunately, you don’t look feminine so no one will mistake you for a girl. But I have to admit, your long hair is quite charismatic. No wonder those ladies like you very much.”
Ethan shook his head. “Grandpa, they liked me even when I still had short hair.”
“Right, they liked you because you had always been good-looking,” Benjamin replied. “You got that gene from me. I was also quite a looker when I was young. Your grandma had to scare all the girls away so that she could keep me all to herself.”
Ethan chuckled after hearing his grandpa’s words. Although they weren’t blood-related, his grandma and grandpa often said that he inherited all of their good genes.
They were the ones who raised him, and the handsome young man loved and respected the two of them, so he didn’t mind them boasting that all of his good traits were inherited from them.
“Next time, make sure to bring that girl, Lily,” Benjamin commented. “I want to thank her personally for helping you. Without her, you might have fallen onto the wrong path.”
Ethan nodded. “Once my time at Nightfall Academy ends, I will consider bringing her here during one of the weekend breaks.”
“Sounds like a plan. Just inform us in advance. You know your grandma—she will definitely want to prepare something special for that lady.”
“Mmm.”
After touring their farm and seeing that everything was normal, the two returned to their house to wait for Chloe’s parents.
Two hours later, a carriage arrived.
“Mother!” Chloe immediately ran to hug her mother as soon as the latter descended from the carriage.
A lady who seemed to be in her late thirties hugged her daughter with a smile on her face.

“It feels like it’s been forever since I last saw you,” Chloe’s mother, Jessica, smiled before kissing her A lady who seemed to be in her late thirties hugged her daughter with a smile on her face.
“It feels like it’s been forever since I last saw you,” Chloe’s mother, Jessica, smiled before kissing her daughter’s cheek. “Have you been doing well in the academy?”
“Yes,” Chloe replied.
At that moment, Chloe’s father, Soren, appeared beside his daughter and patted her head.
He was a man of few words, but his actions and his eyes spoke a thousand words.
“Father,” Chloe reached out to hug her father. “Have you been well?”
“I’m fine,” Soren replied as he hugged his daughter back.
A minute later, Soren pulled back and glanced at Ethan. His gaze narrowed when he saw the two other young ladies standing beside him. Clearly, he didn’t like what he was seeing.
Not knowing what her father was thinking, Chloe pulled back and ran towards Luna. She then pulled her best friend forward and introduced her to her parents.
“Mother, Father, this is my best friend, Luna,” Chloe said. “She’s a year older than me, and she’s a very kind and caring girl.”
“Oh? So this is Luna,” Jessica smiled as she looked at the angelic beauty with a gentle gaze. “My daughter always mentions you in her letters. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”
“The pleasure is mine, Mrs. Gremory,” Luna replied.
“Just call me Aunt or Auntie,” Jessica grinned. “Thank you for looking after my daughter. She can be a handful—if you know what I mean.”
The beautiful woman winked at Luna, which made the latter smile. Indeed. Chloe could be a handful at times, but the angelic beauty was already used to her company.
Jessica also noticed the other beautiful lady beside Ethan, but she didn’t make any comments. She simply appraised Emma from afar, and she had to admit, the young lady was more ladylike than her daughter, Chloe.
“Jessica, why don’t we talk inside where it’s more comfortable?” Agnes asked as she gently pulled the beautiful woman towards the house. “Benjamin, you and Soren take care of the baggage. We ladies are delicate creatures. You can do that much, right?”
Benjamin rolled his eyes at his wife but made no comments to correct her. He just went to the carriage and helped Soren to carry the travel bags inside the house. this content of novelfullbook.com, if you reading this content please go to website novelfullbook.com to continue reading, fastest update hourly
As soon as the luggage was safely stored in the guest rooms, the group went to the dining room to eat.
Jessica knew that her daughter liked Ethan, and she planned to support her if she wanted. However, after talking with Luna, she couldn’t find it in herself to dislike the girl.
The angelic beauty had this sort of charm that made anyone who looked at her view her favorably. Because of this, she decided to have a chat with her after their meal ended.
Soren was also paying close attention to the girls. Similar to Jessica, she was aware of her daughter’s feelings for Ethan.
Truth be told, he didn’t like Ethan. In his eyes, the handsome young man was just a spoiled brat who was raised by his grandparents. Aside from his good looks, the lad had nothing else going for him.
But after seeing the current Ethan, Soren had to admit that he was quite impressed.
Back then, the handsome young man would cower from his gaze.
But now, the teenage boy could calmly look him straight in the eye without any hint of fear or anxiety whatsoever.
The corner of Soren’s lips curled up into a faint smile.
‘Looks like this boy finally got some backbone,’ Soren thought.
He once served as a Guard in a Noble Household when he was younger.
This Noble Household had a good relationship with the Gremory Family, which was how he and Jessica could have several interactions with each other. It didn’t take long for the two of them to develop feelings for each other, and after some time, they decided to marry.
However, he had to fulfill one condition.
He would be marrying into their family, and their children’s surname would still be Gremory. Since Soren loved Jessica, he accepted this condition and lived a happy married life with his wife.
Because of his profession in the past, a single glance was enough to tell him that Ethan was someone who knew how to wield a weapon.
Also, there was one more thing that he was sure about.
‘This brat has blood on his hands,’ Soren frowned. ‘I guess I need to have a proper talk with him later.’
Although Soren didn’t mind that Chloe liked Ethan, he would not allow his daughter to pursue a dangerous man.
Especially someone who had killed others in the past.
