Meanwhile.

Lady Parker listened to the hang-up tone on her phone, her brows knitted together in frustration, "He’s hung up on me again. I’ve been worrying about him all day, barely getting any sleep, and yet he doesn’t seem to care at all."

"He wanted to go on these blind dates, but I don’t think his heart is in it."

"Mom, could you please say a few words to Frank on my behalf? Since he was young, he has always respected and been fond of you. I’m certain he will listen to you." After venting her worries, Lady Parker turned her desperate gaze on an elderly lady seated by her side.

The elder lady had a head of snow-white hair, yet she looked mentally vibrant. Despite her simple and humble clothing, she radiated a calm and tranquil demeanor reminiscent of a chrysanthemum.

She was Frank Parker’s grandmother.

She usually resided in a Taoist temple, living a life of asceticism and rarely leaving the mountain to visit her family.

The elderly lady had been informed of her grandson’s situation by Lady Parker.

Upon hearing what Lady Parker had to say, she didn’t seem overly worried. Silently turning her Buddha beads in hand, she replied calmly, "Why are you so agitated? Frank isn’t old. Even if he waits a few more years to get married, it wouldn’t be too late."

"Besides, with our Parker family’s status, it doesn’t matter if he’s only in his twenties or even if he were to remain unmarried till forty, we would have no problem finding him an excellent wife."

Lady Parker responded: "Indeed, mom, you’re right. Given our standing, we don’t need to worry about such matters. But my current concern isn’t about Frank’s inability to find a good wife. I’m worried that he simply doesn’t want to find one."

"What if he insists on staying single? What then?"

"Our Parker lineage rests solely on him. Mom, I’m sure you wouldn’t want the line to end with Frank would you?"

Hearing the words "end of the line," Madam Heath furrowed her brows. "It’s not as serious as that. He’s just young and likes to have fun. Given a few more years, when he has had his fill and matures, he will naturally think about starting a family."

"If that were the case, I wouldn’t have a thing to worry about. But mom, now that we’re on this topic, there’s something else you should know. Are you aware that Frank is obsessively infatuated with a certain woman?"

"Moreover, this woman is already married!"

"I’m terrified that Frank has become capricious, and won’t be able to get out of this. What should we do then?""

The change in Madam Heath’s expression was noticeable. She stopped flipping her Buddha beads, asking in surprise, "Frank is infatuated with a married woman? What on earth is going on?"

Lady Parker didn’t want Madam Heath to worry about such chaotic affairs.

But for the sake of her son’s future happiness, she felt compelled to tell her everything she knew.

A moment later.

Madam Heath no longer looked as easy-going as before. She looked somewhat serious and said, "If Frank truly can’t shake his feelings for her and loses interest in other women, we definitely need to have a serious conversation with him."

Lady Parkerwas delighted, "Mom, are you willing to help me talk to Frank?"

Madam Heath’s words were far more effective than hers.

Frank might not listen to her, his own mother.

But he would certainly pay some heed to his grandmother’s words.

"Call Frank later and tell him that I’m feeling a bit unwell. He’s sure to come home." After a moment’s contemplation, Madam Heath said, "Once he’s back, I’ll have a chat with him."

After taking a bath, Joanna Lawrence walked to the floor-to-ceiling window wearing her bathrobe.

The island was exceptionally beautiful at night.

Even though her wedding ceremony had been kept as simple as possible, she still felt completely drained after everything that happened throughout the day.
