Sean said evenly, "No, Uncle Paul. You can go about your business now.""Yeah," Paul replied and stormed off angrily, his family quickly following.Calmness returned to Cranston Hall right then, while Sean turned to Cordy. "You should stay here for the night. There are not that many outsiders right now, and I can myself testify that my own parents are nice—they never did like power struggles and the like. Fred is away enjoying life with his girlfriend, while my wife is visiting her parents with our kid. There are just a few of us in Cranston Hall, so it'd be nice if you stayed with us instead of staying at the hotel."Cordy sighed—there were times when she just could not turn down Sean, and it was not as if she could not feel that Sean had been sincerely nice to her.Even so… Well, she had to admit that she wanted to go back to the hotel for John.Whatever it was that had happened, she would like to clear the air with John."… Very well."Seeing that Cordy was not responding,

Patrick ultimately gave in and followed Cordy to Cranston Hall.Sean just returned, and was surprised to find Cordy returning as well.Naturally, he was frowning when he saw Patrick, who was scowling in return.Patrick was now aware of the relationship between Sean and Cordy, but he absolutely would not bother suffering Sean if he did not want to woo Cordy."What's he doing here?" Sean asked grumpily nonetheless.Cordy told him about Patrick's situation and shrugged. "We can let him stay a few days."Sean shot Patrick a look and said before turning away, "Why don't you get lost, too?"Patrick rolled his eyes. They really were blood related—even their intonation was identical.Still, he restrained himself and followed Sean to his room. At least the man had manners and was polite enough a host to show Sean around.Along the way, Patrick asked, "Where are Cordy and Dicky staying?" "You don't have to know.""I was just asking.""The answer is still no.""Look, man, don't th

The next day, Cordy prepared to go with Sean to the hospital to visit Jesse."Can I join you?" Patrick asked."Why?" Sean almost protested immediately."My grandfather was an acquaintance of your grandfather, and he asked me to visit him. Or aren't I allowed?"Sean pursed his lips while Cordy tried to calm things down. "He's here anyway. Let him visit."Cordy naturally knew that Sean and Patrick were at odds and mainly because of her.However, while Sean stopped arguing at that, only for Patrick to smugly raise his brow.Sean was at a loss for words. "Childish.""Did you just call me childish again?!" Patrick was incensed again—the words were a direct humiliation to him!Sean was not bothered to retort. He simply turned to Cordy and said, "I'll get the car ready. You just head outside when you finish breakfast.""Okay."Sean left.Cordy turned and shot Patrick a glare, who felt a little guilty right then."Do you know that we're living in someone else's house right now?" s

However, John knew very well how he felt about Cordy—never had he felt such overwhelming emotion, as if it had been pent-up within him for years and now unstoppable after it had been unleashed.His heart would race just from remembering Cordy, and he would feel a terrible yearning to see her and the impulse to keep her constantly by his side.He had never felt that way toward Nana before, and he understood that he was not infatuated.This was an obsession of a lifetime, which was why he was determined to break up with Nana—it was better to be hurt for a moment than forever, and he was certainly reluctant to be hesitant, which would only cause more damage in time.Still, he could admit that he felt like he owed Nana, and he decided he would not refuse her if she ever came to him for help—but he refused to be coerced into staying in this relationship.That was why he was unmoved despite all of Nana's attempts to convince him otherwise… But when he returned to the hotel afterwards an

As Nana leaned her head gently over Lucas' shoulder, he continued to give her the silent treatment.Right now, he needed time to come up with a way so everyone could walk away without grievances.Likewise, Nana needed time to accept his departure.However, that was certainly not what Nana thought—she had no intention to let him leave at all.Everything she wanted since she was a child, she would possess them without fail.And men were no different.She got what she wanted, or she would destroy it—that was her principle in life.Just like how 'walking away' did not exist in her vocabulary.- At the hospital, Cordy and Sean took turns visiting Jesse.Their grandfather's complexion had improved over the last few days thanks to therapy. Anyone who did not know that he was unconscious would easily buy that he was just asleep.The doctors also agreed that he was getting better and might wake up in a few days.They had been saying that for days, however, and it got a little frust
