“Hehe… Shane, I can be good buddies with you now, but I reckon I’ll be out of the single club soon!

Don’t accuse me of betraying you when that happens!”

The two of them walked out of the restaurant side by side while still boasting.

“Haha, you might not beat me to it! When it comes to betraying a buddy, I can handle that!”

Shane, a man from Hero’s Village, could lose at anything, except when it came to replaceing a partner and

getting married. He couldn’t afford to fall behind in those two areas.

“Come on… How can girls easily fall for you with your height and looks? Let me tell you. There’s a cute

and beautiful girl who’s been treating me well lately. It seems like she’s interested in me!”

As Frederick spoke, all he could think about was Beatrix’s face.

Today, Beatrix not only smiled at him but also invited him to have a meal together. It was obvious that

she had feelings for him!

Little did he know, Shane laughed heartily. “What a coincidence! There’s also a beautiful and lovely girl

who has fallen for me. She’s even a wealthy young lady. We’ve even kissed. I’m way quicker than you!”

“Don’t boast!”

Frederick didn’t even believe a word Shane said. “I used the words ‘beautiful and lovely, and you also

used the same words. You didn’t even bother changing the adjectives, huh?”

“I’m not boasting! It’s true!”

Shane was instantly agitated. “So, you’re allowed to have a beautiful and lovely girl, but I’m not allowed

to have a beautiful and lovely woman? Let me tell you. I’ll win her over next week!”

“All right. All right. I’ll wait and see! Let’s see who can win over the beautiful and lovely one quicker!”

“Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you. The loser will go back to the village and announce that they lost in the

search for a wife!”

“Great! Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

These two slightly intoxicated guys made a bet and were convinced that they would definitely win!

On the other hand, Beatrix had no idea that the two men were overthinking because of her. When she

returned home after working overtime, she found that almost everyone in the Quillen family was in the

meeting room, discussing something important.

“Dad, do you really have to travel around the world?”

“How about L-accompany you?”

“Can’t you just not go? Dad, where haven’t you been? I just don’t understand!”

Samantha and her sisters had been persistently urging Terence to talk.

Mackenzie sat quietly on the side and listened without interrupting.

“You don’t have to go, but I want to!” Tefence smiled as he said. “I’m getting old, and I want to see more

of the

world Marilyn also wants to accompany me so I’ll take bar with me Loromised her that!”

“How about I accompany you?”

“Can’t you just not go? Dad, where haven’t you been? I just don’t understand!”

Samantha and her sisters had been persistently urging Terence to talk.

Mackenzie sat quietly on the side and listened without interrupting.

“You don’t have to go, but I want to!” Terence smiled as he said. “I’m getting old, and I want to see

more of the world. Marilyn also wants to accompany me, so I’ll take her with me. I promised her that!”

Upon hearing Terence’s words, his daughters naturally had displeased expressions.

Marilyn stood behind Terence and always behaved very humbly. Now, she lowered her head even

more and stood in the corner when she felt everyone’s gaze. She did not dare to breathe heavily.

Emmanuel was the first to meet Marilyn and had the most contact with her. He knew that this girl was

not always so timid and submissive. Her current behavior could only be explained by two possibilities.

Either she became more reserved after entering the Quillen family due to her humble background and

resulting insecurity, or she was pretending.

Emmanuel leaned toward the latter. He had always felt that Marilyn was not like Red, who was

innocent, and he. feared that Marilyn had some hidden motive.

“Grandpa, should I accompany you?” Emmanuel volunteered tentatively. Of course, if Terence agreed,

he would also go to protect Terence. After all, traveling the world was quite risky.

“Haha. No need. I have Alfred to protect me and Marilyn to take care of me! You stay behind and

protect Mackenzie and my future great-grandchild!” Terence said with a laugh.

The other women were puzzled by the second half of his statement. Where did he come up with the

idea of a great-grandchild? Did Terence have dementia?

Mackenzie blushed slightly but quickly composed herself and said, “Grandpa, don’t talk nonsense. If

Alfred goes with you, what about the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown? We just registered!”

“Didn’t I mention that we have Emmanuel?” Terence continued to smile warmly. “I entrust the Quillen

family’s business to you and the responsibility of protecting the Quillen family to him!”
