Chapter 3: I&##x27;m forced

At this, Paul's face was cold.

"Grandpa, I'm forced, and I have never ever seen the girl before."

When Nicholas heard that, he was so angry that he gave a terrible cough.

Hearing the sound, Paul couldn't help but say in a softer tone.

"Grandpa, you can't get angry.It will do harm to your health." Nicholas took a sip of tea to calm down.

"I just want what's best for you.Amy is a good girl.Don't let the girl wait for you.She is a decent, diligent,
dependable woman.Although she comes from an ordinary family that might not match our identities,
she made more efforts than her peers to get into the top university, works to make more achievements
on her own, and always behave well to be a decent woman.Our family doesn't attach great importance
to the origin but needs this kind of woman when it comes to marriage.’’

"Kid, you've flown the nest for a long time and I've heard so many rumors about you over the years, but
I never ask these things.l am so old and will die soon, so I hope you can fulfill my wish in the near
future."

As Nicholas was speaking, he couldn't stop coughing.

Noticing the sound again, Paul replied, "I'll go back tonight""

"But you still have to respect my decision and should not do anything on a whim.I told you I have my
plan.’

"Okay.As long as you can come back, continue the wedding, and marry that girl, I can assure you that I
will not interfere with your affairs anymore, most of the time..."



The old man wanted to say something else, but Paul had hung up the phone.

Nicholas put his phone down and picked up a thick document on Amy's background.

"It’s so good.The girl is the top scorer in the National College Entrance Exam and the winner of four
years of a full scholarship.She published many research papers in academic journals.She is
hardworking, intelligent, and well-behaved.She is the best choice for Paul.If she marries him, I will be
relieved and then live a carefree life."

"Sir, it's time to take your medicine."

The housekeeper reminded him with a bowl of herbal medicine in his hand.

When he saw that his master had read the files back and forth all day long, the housekeeper couldn't
help but feel speechless.

‘‘He's still concerned about his grandson's marriage even if he's abroad for treatment” Nicholas
pondered and continued talking to himself, "No matter how good Miss Turner is, if Paul doesn't like her,
their marriage will be unhappy…’’ The old man slowly narrowed his eyes, and yet a meaningful smile
appeared on his face.

"Just give them time.I know my grandson well.Paul will like her.Unlike the girls from rich families, Amy
is tough and independent enough.She will be qualified to be his wife one day.’’ The housekeeper didn't
say anything anymore for he trusted Senior Mr.Howard's judgment.

Howard Family had weathered storms over the years and was growing stronger than ever before.

This was solid evidence.

The dinner started on time.



Various dishes were served one by one.

When Amy sat down, Laura mocked, "Do you know what table manners are? I'm afraid you don't even
know how to use cutlery.You nerd! Paul hates the woman who doesn't behave herself!"

Amy didn't want to argue with her so she picked up the cutlery in front of her to slice and elegantly eat
the steak.

Laura's face instantly darkened.

"She didn't even listen to me as if I am the fool!'' She had taunted her for the whole afternoon, but all
her words didn't work on her.

She smashed her knife and fork down hard and got up.

"That's disgusting! I don't want to share the same room with you! I can't even eat, seeing your face.’’
After that, she ran up the stairs.

Amy thought that she was really childish, not like a woman who was 20.

All her emotions were written on her face.

It was surprising that she could develop such a personality in a complicated family, which showed she
was favored, just like her stepsister Mia.

Rachel looked solemn and didn't stop Laura.

Her husband and son were busy working, so she had to face her nominal daughter-in-law alone.

Although a lot of dishes were prepared tonight, she had no appetite.



So she just ate a little and left.

Amy was the only one left in the large dining room.

She smiled bitterly and ran her hands through her sort-of- unkempt hair.

While Amy was eating, she looked down and pondered her next plans.

In the Howard Family, she wasn't as free as before, but tomorrow she had to go to the hospital to see
her grandmother.

She needed to get out if she had the chance.

Having made up her mind, she put down her knife and fork, stood up, and went back to her room.

Just as the servants were about to finish cleaning up the dishes, the door suddenly opened and a tall
and young man appeared in front of them.
