You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 573

No, that’s not quite right. I should say he’s the grandson who’s already got the marriage certificate, but still hasn’t brought his wife home yet.

As Miles spoke, he glanced over at the Brooks family, then shot Oliver a look that clearly said, “Seriously?” before muttering, “Figure it out yourself.”

When everyone else walked off, Oliver wandered a bit farther away with his phone and called Patricia. “You’re up? Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”

“Alright. Just let me know whenever,” Patricia replied quietly.
