Adam found his friends unreliable, and the only ones who could truly assist him were the two elderly ladies at home. They understood the intricacies of his marriage and could offer tailored guidance.

Catherine remained guarded. “Why did you bring so many things?”

Adam couldn’t help but chuckle at Catherine’s remark. “As a dutiful descendant, I couldn’t come empty- handed to pay my respects, could I?”

Catherine’s worries subsided. “It’s all because of your previous careless actions that I became afraid.”

Catherine replied, “She’s feeling a bit unwell today. The doctor prescribed some medication, and she’s resting in her room.”

Adam promptly rose from his seat. “I’ll go check on her.”

Catherine intervened, “She has finally fallen asleep. Why disturb her now? Wait until she wakes up before you see her. If you have anything to discuss, tell me first. Don’t upset her.”

“Grandma, I treasure Lumma deeply, and I desire to spend my life with her. However, I am unsure how to navigate this marriage.” Adam grasped the old lady’s hand, and each word he uttered carried a weight beyond measure. “My parents had a troubled relationship, leading separate lives. I have never witnessed the dynamics of a healthy marital bond. Grandma, could you enlighten me?”

Catherine tenderly patted his hand. “Adam, I’m glad that you have sought me out with such inquiries.”

Some men, motivated by pride, would pretend to comprehend matters of the heart even when they were clueless. Yet, Adam, despite his status and influence, humbly sought guidance, inadvertently revealing the depth of his devotion to Lumma.

She continued, “If you have the time, allow me to discuss other matters with you first.”

Adam nodded earnestly. “Grandma, please proceed. I’m all ears.”

Catherine let out a deep sigh before speaking slowly, “Your grandfather departed this world prematurely. At the time, your father was unable to shoulder the full responsibility of Hills Group,

“During that decision-making process, I remained unaware of your father’s true affections, and he never voiced any objections. However, later on, when your mother became pregnant with you, he wanted her to terminate the pregnancy, blaming me for driving a wedge between him and the woman he loved. It was then that we discovered his premarital infatuation.
