Nathalie suddenly cupped Nathan's face with a playful grin. "You're so handsome. You must have gotten those good looks from your mom. I bet your grandma adores you, right? How about you take up the mantle for 'Forever Yours' and have a chat with the McCoy Nathan flashed a charming smile. "Nellie, I'd do just about anything for you, but not this."

family?"

Nathalie looked puzzled. "Why not?"

Nathan's eyes sparkled with mischief. "If I step in, everyone will know I'm the guy behind you."

Nathalie frowned, feeling something was a bit off with his words, but after thinking it over, it seemed alright. "You're right. I was being silly. You're the big boss around here; no need for you to get involved in small stuff like this."

In the end, Nathalie decided to take the reins herself and pay a visit to the McCoy family patriarch.

It was a bright Saturday morning. Nathan was making a rare visit back to the McCoy household, much to Frankie's delight.

She quickly instructed the cooks, "My precious grandson is coming home today. Whip up a few extra dishes. I want to treat him right."

Then she turned to the butler and said, "Give the old man a ring and tell him Nathan will be home. He should come back soon."

The moment Nathan stepped inside, his grandma clung to his hand as if afraid he'd vanish. She led him to the couch. "Nathan, you hardly ever stop by. Sit and chat with me for a while."

Nathan chuckled, "Don't worry, Grandma, I'm not rushing off today. We can chat as long as you want."

When things were out of the ordinary, there was often a reason. His grandma eyed him suspiciously. "You little rascal, what are you hiding?"

Nathan put on a mock look of hurt. "I just missed you and Grandpa so much I lost my appetite. Now I'm back, and you think I'm up to something."

Frankie couldn't help but laugh. "You

used to be so withdrawn and not one for socializing. We worried you might be on the spectrum. Even your mom said that without meeting the right person, you'd never change."

At that, her mood turned somber. "Your mom was always out of everyone's league. Boys flocked to her, but she paid no mind. And then your heartless dad fooled her..."

Nathan held his grandma's hand gently. "Grandma, I'm luckier than Mom."

Frankie pushed back her sadness and managed a smile. "Nathan, your grandpa said you've been more lively lately. Be honest. Have you fallen for someone?"

Nathan grinned. "If I replace a girl I like, you'll be the first to meet her, Grandma."

Frankie chuckled, "That's the spirit. I've seen more of life than you have, so I can spot any girl's tricks a mile away."

Nathan just smiled.

Just then, the butler walked in with a card. "Ma'am, a Miss Nathalie sent this visiting card."

Frankie murmured, "Nathalie?" Then she waved her hand dismissively. "I rarely have the chance to chat with my grandson. Tell her not today."

But Nathan chimed in, "Grandma, there's something about the name Nathalie that feels like fate. Why don't we meet her?"

Frankie was surprised and said, "Since when did you get so sentimental? Alright, if my dear grandson wants to meet her, then let her in."
