Chapter 325 The Dinner Deal

Free coins!

The moment Henry imagined himself having dinner with a male grandson-in-law in the future, Henry clutched his chest and collapsed dramatically onto the couch.

“This little punk just thinks I’ve lived too long and wants me dead already!

My heart! I’m having a heart attack! Just go ahead and plan my funeral! Burn paper money for me tomorrow at the cemetery!”

“Fine, let him get divorced from Lily then.”

Grace didn’t exactly love the idea of her eldest grandson cuddling and smooching with another man either.

But clearly, he was beyond saving. There was no point dragging Lily down with him just because of their own selfishness.

As much as I had dreamed of Lily and James living happily ever after, I genuinely liked Lily and truly wanted to see her happy. I couldn’t bear to let such a good girl waste her life on someone who’d never love her back.

She sighed deeply and added, “That kid from the Scott family actually looks like a good match for Lily. We should prepare a generous dowry for her. We can’t let her feel wronged.”

“Hmph!”

Henry gave James a furious glare.

I still couldn’t accept the fact that my grandson might bring home a male spouse, but I also knew we couldn’t use Lily’s kindness and attachment to the family to keep her stuck in a broken marriage.

After pressing his chest a few more times, he muttered hopelessly, “Fine. Let the Scott boy come over for dinner tonight.

If he really treats Lily well, I’ll agree to the divorce.

I’m going to have a serious talk with Jackson’s grandpa. I acknowledge Lily as my granddaughter now, and if they dare mistreat her after the wedding, I’ll make sure they regret it.”

James was obviously too far gone. Blanc and Nancy had nothing left to say.

They had no choice but to agree to Jackson coming over for dinner, so they could at least get a read on whether the guy was truly reliable.

“Grandpa, Grandma, are you really going to let James divorce Lily?”

Ivan panicked when he saw Henry and Grace nodding at the idea of dinner with Jackson. “Lily’s amazing! I don’t want a new sister-in-law, and I definitely don’t want a brother-in-law!”

“James, can’t you just be straight again? What’s so great about being with a guy? You’ll regret letting Lily go!”

“Lily and Jackson are a great match.”

Chapter 325 The Dinner Deal

James subtly pressed the spot on his chest that kept aching and replied coldly, “I hope they get married

soon.

Ivan was blunt, but he wasn’t stupid.

Hearing James say that with such finality made it crystal clear-even a guy as outwardly straight as James was way past the point of no return.

He felt like crying.

But what can I do? No matter how much I yelled or begged, James liked men now. End of story.

So all he could do was sit in a sad little corner of the couch, waiting for Lily to be stolen away by some random guy.

Now that everyone had agreed to let Jackson come for dinner, James didn’t waste any more time. Wearing a cold expression, he called Lily and told her to bring Jackson over.

Lily would surely cooperate to the fullest-she was eager to set him free.

To make sure the elders would agree to the divorce, she even reminded Jackson to behave well.

If he made a good enough impression, she’d give him a bonus of 2,000 dollars on the spot.

Lily had actually driven herself today.

But to appear more loving and couple-like, she let Jackson come pick her up.

Jackson showed up in a flashy bright red Quicksilver-his “festive edition” car of choice.

Before long, that bold and obnoxiously cheerful Quicksilver rolled up in front of the Luke family’s main house.

Henry and the others had already been waiting outside the living room ever since the front gate security called in the arrival.

Watching Jackson step out of the car in a well-fitted black suit, looking calm and mature, their eyes lit up for a second-then their hearts sank.

It had only been a few weeks, and that Scott boy, already handsome, looked even sharper and more put-together now. Sure, our own grandson wasn’t lacking in looks or build. But… he is gay.

If we are Lily, we’d probably pick Jackson too-young, full of life, and clearly very, very straight.
