it's decided then

After dinner, Daniel and his wife left for something, and Richard went upstairs. As requested by Grandpa, Hazel followed him to the living room, where she sat on a sofa with Jack, a little far apart.

“Hazel, what have you been busy with lately?” Jack’s grandpa asked as soon as they sat down.

“Grandpa, I haven’t been busy with anything lately. I just came back and am still looking for a suitable job. “She studied design and had always wanted to be a fashion designer. If the Brooks family wasn’t in this situation, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to set up a small studio. But now, a studio might not be feasible, and she couldn’t just stay at home all the time. She had to have a job.

“Have you thought about coming back to Brooks to help out.

“My major doesn’t match, and I’m afraid I’ll only make things worse if I help.” Although she said so, the real situation was that her father didn’t allow her to enter the company. Her major in design was correct, but she also studied economics and management.

She had told her father that when she returned after finishing her studies. She could help in the company. Her father said no and only let her do what she liked. Even now, when Brooks was facing difficulties, she wanted to do her part, but her father wouldn’t allow it.

After a moment of silence, Grandpa said, “Even so, you don’t need to go and find a job. You’re already married to Jack, and theoretically, even if you’re working at the Brooks now, you should be working at our own company. Since you haven’t gone, there’s no need to go out to find a job. It doesn’t sound good. Young people who stay idle at home all day will only become disconnected from m the society. So, you should go to Global enterprise and let Jack arrange a position for you.”

Jack frowned slightly upon hearing this, but quickly returned to normal. Jack’s dad didn’t say anything, but Anita was very excited. “Dad, I disagree with this! You know that the Books family has been to trying to steal our business for years. Although most of their partner still work with us, what have they been doing? They’re just adding to Jack’s trouble! Now that the Brook family is in trouble, they come up with such a shameful idea. You should know what the Brooks family is up to. If it weren’t for John and I being abroad, I wouldn’t have agreed to this marriage.”

“..” Hazel was slightly surprised, not only because of Anita’s unmasked anger and contempt for her, but also because of the previous sentence Anita said. Hazel had never heard of Brooks family competing with the Aiden’s family business before.

“Well, now that things are settled, even if I have a thousand objections, I have to accept the engagement you agreed to. But Dad, I really don’t think it’s appropriate for Hazel to go to the company again!” Anita held back her dissatisfaction, glanced at Hazel and finally anxiously plead with Grandpa, “Dad, please reconsider.”

Hazel was not a fool. From her mother-in law’s tone and the hesitant expression, she could guess that what she really wanted to say was that the Brook family had conflicts with the Aiden family before. If she really entered the Aiden family’s company, there might e external and internal troubles.

She didn’t know what kind of feeling she was experiencing right now, embarrassed, aggrieved, and also a bit helpless. A t this moment, she finally understood why Anita, who had always been kind to her, suddenly changed her attitude.

Her poor self-esteem didn’t allow her to talk about the Brooks family’s affairs. Although she also knew that compared to the Brooks family and her mother, that bit of self-esteem was nothing all. But before those things, she represented the Brook family first.

“Grandpa, thank you.” Hazel pursed her lips, “But I think I still won’t go. My major is not related to the company, even if I go, I wont be able to help much.”

As soon as she finished speaking she caught a glimpse of Anita’s expression easing up a lot, and even gave her “you know your place” look.

Jack glanced at her and slightly hooked his lips.

Grandpa pondered for a moment and said “Hazel, I have watched you grow up since you were a child. You are smart since childhood. Even if you don’t know anything, you can learn slowly. Isn’t there still Jack? He can teach you.

“Grandpa...”

Hazel wanted to say something, but Grandpa directly waved his hand, “Hazel, don’t refuse Grandpa’s small request.”

“Dad!”

Grandpa’s face became stern, and he frowned at Anita, who wanted to stop him, with great majesty, “I have decided, that’s it. Oh, by the way, the charity banquet in three days, Jack you and Hazel will go together.” After speaking, he said to Jack who had been silent, “Jack, come with me to the study.”

“Jack, do you also disagree with me letting Hazel go to the company?” As soon as he entered the room, Grandpa went straight to the point.

“Grandpa, does my disagreement matter?” In the Aiden family, grandfather was the head of the family and always had a decisive personality. If he had decided on something, it was difficult to change his mind. Just like when he asked him to get married.

Grandpa sighed, ” I know you have objections in your heart, but you are my grandson and I only want what’s best for you, not to harm you.”

“Grandpa, I know you have always loved me. You asked me to get married, and I listened to you and married her. For me, that was already the biggest concession.” He had his own thoughts and bottom line. Although he was not afraid that Hazel would cause any trouble in the company, he did not want to see her everyday at work.

“I know you have objections to getting married, but I still say that I won’t harm you. Anyway, even if you disagree, I have already decided.

“..” Jack gritted his teeth and tried to surpress his dissatisfaction.

“I heard that you didn’t take care of the Brook family affair’s?”

Jack smiled, ” Grandpa, what do you want to say?”

“Hazel’s father James mentioned this to me before, and I asked him to find you because I knew you had your objections to him. So I wanted to ease your relationship. But now that you and Hazel have been married for so many days, as the son-in law of the Brooks family, you should support your father-in law’s company when it’s in trouble. Otherwise, if other’s find out, they will only criticize you.

Jack frowned, ” Did Hazel tell you anything about this?”

“No.”

Jack sneered, obviously not believing it. “So you called me here to let her into the company and clean up Brooks mess?”

“Not just that.” Grandpa shook his head and smiled, “Jack, what I really want to tell you is that some people should not think too much, and some things should be let go. You and Hazel are already husband and wife. You should treat her better, have a child soon, and let me see it before I die. Do you understand what I’m saying.”
