Chapter 83. One Step Closer

"Grandpa ..." shrieked Claire and was only given a grinning grunt by Gerald.

"We need to talk, especially you, Joona," Gerald walked past Arjoona and headed to his reading room. Arjoona sighed before smiling at Claire and taking her along to meet Gerald.

Arjoona had never felt this nervous regarding Gerald Winthrop. He sat opposite Gerald, who folded his legs in front of him. Gerald was the person Joona respected the most. Now he would ask for his blessing to be able to marry Claire, his favorite grandson.

"I want to ask your blessing to marry Claire," Gerald still looked at Arjoona and Claire in turn. Claire glanced at Joona and glimpsed at her grandfather.

"Aren't you two married?" Arjoona smiled softly.

"It's not a marriage like this, sir. I mean, I want to marry Claire without any contract." Gerald nodded once.

"Tell me your intention Arjoona?" Arjoona took a deep breath before explaining.
