"He saved you?" Joe frowned and asked her in reply. How many things did she have that he didn't
know?
"Yes." Lily nodded, but she didn't intend to talk about it in detail. "Grandpa, it's a long story. I can't finish
it in a short time. But I beg you. Don't object to us being together."
She held Eric's hand tightly, sincerely looked at Joe with hope, and said, "Many people who have lived
together with each other for a lifetime can't experience what they have experienced together in this
period of time. This is fate. In a life, we need to find a other half, not how gentle and considerate he is
to you, but when you need him most, he will appear in front of you. No matter what happens, he will
always think of you first. Even if the whole world abandons you, he will still silently stand behind you
and support you."
While speaking, Lily couldn't help crying, "Grandpa, you have lived most of your life, seen and
experienced more than us. I just hope that you can support us to be together. Although we are young, I
know what kind of people are suitable for us. We can live together."
Eric reached out and held her in his arms. He couldn't help kissing her forehead, and reached out to
wipe off her tears on her cheeks. He softly comforted her, "Don't cry, okay?"
Seeing the interaction between the two people and what Lily said, Joe was really moved.
"Get up." He sighed.
Hearing this, Lily asked hopefully, "Grandpa, do you agree?"
"Let's get up first."
"No, if you don't agree, I won't stand up." Lily said firmly.
"Girl, don't be insatiable." Joe gave her a dissatisfied look.
"Grandpa..." Before Lily could say anything else, she was interrupted by Eric. He winked at her and
said, "We need to listen to Grandpa."
Lily didn't understand what he meant, while Eric had already turned to Joe and said with a smile,
"Thank you, Grandpa."
He didn't call Joe "Grandpa Joe" anymore.
Hearing him call him that, Joe immediately said, "Don't call me that. It doesn't mean that I agree you to
be together even if I ask you to get up."
"I know." Eric answered with a faint smile. He held Lily's arm and stood up with his back hand on her
waist all the time. He looked straight at Joe.
"In my eyes, girl's family is my family. I will call you whatever she calls you. It has nothing to do with you
agree or not."
How domineering he was! No matter you agree or not, I admit it.
In other words, even if you don't want your granddaughter to be with me, I have to be with her!
When Joe heard these words, he couldn't help glaring at him. How could he say like that?
"I'm not that eloquent as girl. I don't know what to say." Eric went on, "I only know that since I have
chosen, it means that I'm certain of it, and that I'm sure of it is my lifetime. Grandpa, maybe I shouldn't
call you Grandpa, but since the moment I decided to be with her, I want to call you in this way."
"You..." Joe couldn't find words to reply him.
"I know you are not satisfied with me." Eric went on, "Just as girl said, some people have lived together
all their lives, but maybe they didn't experience a lot of things as we have. We have experienced
together to live or die, which kind of fate is not common. I believe that this is the god's arrangement."
Joe didn't know much about Eric. But he was grateful for what he had done to save Lily.
If he had been more thoughtful at that time, he would have found that they had been together since
then. Lily had cooked for him every day and even looked after him carefully.
Thinking of this, Joe sighed. "What's your progress… What's the step?"
He was too embarrassed to ask this question, but he had to.
"Last night, it's the most." Eric answered without batting an eye.
"Really?" Joe asked in reply. From the photos in the newspaper, they seemed to be… Fierce.
"Really!" Eric answered confidently, "Grandpa, I have promised aunt that I won't touch her in ten years."
"Auntie?" Joe frowned in confusion, and then he seemed to be suddenly enlightened. "You mean you
have promised Tina?"
"Yes."
"Tina knew you were together from the very beginning?" Joe asked in surprise.
"Yes." Eric replied calmly, "If we have to count the time, it should be the days when she was in hospital
because of a car accident, and the aunt agreed to let us be together."
"How can you hide such a serious matter from me?" Joe said in a serious tone.
"Grandpa, we didn't mean to hide it." Said Lily. Looking at Joe with red eyes, she continued, "We are
too young. If we made it public so early, nobody will support. You would be the first one to disagree,
which. My father and aunt would definitely be resolutely against it, and the Gu family. I'm afraid, none of
them will agree either."
Speaking of the Gu family, she thought of the attitude of Eric's mother to her. Angela would definitely
resolutely oppose it.
Lily said was true. Joe couldn't help but glance at her more. He didn't expect her to be so thoughtful.
She almost thought of all the things that he hadn't expected.
What she said earlier also made people couldn't disagree. Joe didn't think a child of her age should
have such an idea.
She was so thoughtful. His granddaughter had been living with him all the time, but he didn't know her
well.
"What happened last night has been on the front page. All people in the city may know it. What are you
going to do next?" His tone softened again.
The question left them speechless. It was totally out of their expectation. In the view of Eric, the only
person who could solve the problem was Noble. But he was abroad these days and it was impossible
for him to ask him for help.
At this moment, he was a little regretful that he didn't listen to the words of Noble and Ellison.
At this moment, Eric's phone rang and broke the silence. He took out the phone and furrowed his
brows.
He took a look at Joe and said apologetically, "I have to answer this call."
After that, he picked up the phone, "Hello, mom. Yes. It's true. I'll be right back."
After a few simple words, he hung up the phone. After taking a deep look at Lily, he turned to Joe and
said, "Grandpa, please take care of girl for the time being. I know you won't make things difficult for her
and she won't be disturbed. I'm relieved to let you take care of her. I have to go back home to deal with
some matters at home."
"I'll go with you." Lily said before he could finish his words.
"You can't go there." Eric rejected abruptly, "Girl, I know what you are thinking about. But it also
depends on the situation. My family is now in a fit of anger, if you go over, it will only add fuel to the
flames. At that time, all the blame will be on you."
"I'm not afraid. You know..."
"Listen to me." Eric interrupted before Lily finished her words, "Just follow my arrangement. Don't worry.
I'll handle it well. After that, I'll take you to see them."
"But..." Before Lily could finish her sentence, Eric interrupted, "Trust me, okay?"
His black eyes fixed on her and couldn't help touching her face with his hand. His hand stroked her
cheek. If Mr. Joe were not here, he might have kissed her already.
After a while, Eric released her and turned to Joe, "Grandpa, please take good care of this girl."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lily wanted to stay with him. Her eyes were following his back. Watching his back disappearing
gradually in her sight, her eyes gradually became wet.
Joe had seen everything clearly, and he could tell whether they were really in love with each other. He
was also satisfied with how Eric dealt with things.
"Girl..." After a long while, Joe said to Lily, "I can see that he is really nice to you. He knows that things
are getting worse. It is for your own good that he doesn't allow you to go with him."
"I know." Lily withdrew her sight and said in a nasal voice, "I know he is concerned about me. No one in
his family will accept us to be together."
"Why are you still so determined to be with him?" Joe asked in reply.
"He's the one I loves, just like he loves me." With red eyes, Lily looked up at her grandfather and said,
"And we will stay with each other a whole life."
"You two kids." Joe's eyes were also reddened, and he said, "What do you want me to say? It seems
that I have to make time to go to the Gu family. Mr. Wayne is bad tempered, and I'm afraid he won't be
nice to you. I can help you if I go there personally."
"Grandpa, do you mean that you agree us to be together?" Lily asked delightedly.
"If I don't agree, you will all be forced into a miserable couple."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Regardless of the banquet, Lily was so excited that she jumped into Joe's arms.
