BXBX NOVEL Chapter 678 [Bonus Chapter] Could Relate To His Brother
Mr. Sy was rendered speechless when he heard his son\'s reply.
\'To unite the two families? What did he mean by that?\'
Kian glanced back at Alveena. His eyes widened upon seeing the interlocking hands of Alveena and Andrew.
\'Huh? Don\'t tell me Alveena and Andrew Davis are in a relationship?\'
Grandma Cynthia and Alveena\'s mother, Ciara stood up, inviting the Davis Family to join them. Grandma Cynthia patted Grandpa Jerome\'s shoulder, reminding him to behave. Meanwhile, Ciara pulled her husband, Kian to welcome and greet Lucas and Isabelle.
Clifford also stood up, extending his right hand to Andrew. Soon, Isabelle, Lucas, Grandpa Lu, and Andrew joined them at the table.
Lucas and Isabelle sat to the left side of the table together with Kian and Ciara. Grandpa Jerome was the one sitting at the end of the table while Grandpa Lu sat on the opposite end, facing Grandpa Jerome.
Grandma Cynthia, Clifford, Andrew, and Alveena were sitting on the right side of the table facing Andrew\'s parents and Alveena\'s parents.
Ciara and Cynthia were the ones trying to lighten the atmosphere around them by entertaining their visitors.
"We didn\'t expect that you were the guests Alveena was talking about. Welcome to the Sy\'s Residence. This dinner is specially prepared by our grandchildren. I hope you will enjoy the food." Grandma Cynthia said with her soft voice. She was smiling at them.
"Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad… I\'m sorry I didn\'t inform you ahead," Alveena apologized to them.
Then she stood up, pulling Andrew beside her. The couple was now standing before them. It was now the time to introduce Andrew to her family.
"The reason I invited them over dinner is to officially introduce to you the man I truly love. Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma… I would like you to meet Andrew Davis, my boyfriend."
The Sy Family were shocked when they heard Alveena. Now it made sense why the Davis Family joined them for tonight\'s family dinner.
"This is the reason I can\'t marry Brandon Cullens. I already have a boyfriend, Mom… Dad… I hope you will accept Andrew."
Andrew also spoke up, greeting the elders politely.
"I came here together with my parents and grandfather to show you my sincerity. I love Alveena. And I want to ask for her family\'s blessings to approve our relationship."
Alveena\'s parents didn\'t know what to feel about this. Who would have thought that their daughter would fall for the son of their rival?
"Are you really sure about this?" Kian asked them.
Alveena: "Yes, Dad"
Andrew: "Yes, Mr. Sy."
The couple answered in unison.
Grandpa Lu also butted in to support Alveena and Andrew. He could still see the hesitation in Alveena\'s parents. They couldn\'t decide whether to accept Andrew or not. He noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Sy were both anxiously looking at Grandpa Jerome, observing his reaction.
"The reason we also came tonight is to discuss with you the marriage between Alveena and my grandson, Andrew. He already proposed to your daughter. And Alveena accepted it."
"I could see that the two of them are happily in love so there\'s nothing wrong if we will support them with their relationship. I am aware of the competition going on between the Davis Family Business and the Sy Family Business."
"It\'s now time to forget about the competition. Let\'s set aside the past. Let\'s unite the two families through Alveena\'s and Andrew\'s marriage. The Davis Family is a hundred percent sure in supporting these two. I hope you can also approve of their relationship for the sake of their happiness."
The dining area became silent once again after Grandpa Lu spoke up. Now, their eyes were focused on the Sy Patriarch. Everyone was waiting for his response.
Grandma Cynthia grabbed Grandpa Jerome\'s hand, giving him a gentle squeeze. Grandpa Jerome looked around.
After taking a deep breath, Grandpa Jerome finally spoke up to them.
"If this is my beloved granddaughter\'s decision then I will not oppose this relationship as long as your grandson will not hurt my granddaughter." Grandpa Jerome responded to Grandpa Lu.
"I am warning you. Once I see my granddaughter cry because of your grandson, the Sy Family will not hesitate to use all our resources to destroy the Davis!" Grandpa Jerome threatened Grandpa Lu. He was very serious right now.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Lu let out a soft chuckle. He looked calmer than Grandpa Jerome. And it seemed that he had no hidden grudge towards him.
"Don\'t worry, Jerome. If ever my grandson will make Alveena cry, I am the first one who will punish him! I will not allow him to bully my second granddaughter-in-law!"
Alveena: "..."
Andrew: "..."
\'Why do I feel like I\'ve seen this already?\' Andrew thought to himself. Then suddenly Tristan and Zhen-Zhen popped up in his mind.
\'Now, I could relate to my brother. It seems that our grandfather dotes on his granddaughters-in-law more than his grandsons.\' Andrew smiled inwardly.
On the other hand, Isabelle, Lucas, Kian, and Ciera could only smile awkwardly. They didn\'t know how they would intervene between the two patriarchs. It was so clear that the tension was still going on between them.
Ciara leaned closer to Isabelle who was sitting next to her. "I think the atmosphere would not have been this heavy if these two old men were not here."
Isabelle nodded her head in agreement. "That\'s true. Our husbands are even afraid to speak up." Isabelle said, looking at Lucas and Kian who were tight-lipped as of this moment.
"Don\'t worry, Isabelle. I approved of this relationship. This is the first time my daughter introduced a man as her boyfriend. I believe she really loves your son."
"I feel the same way. My son even broke the engagement with his long-time fiancee just to be with Alveena. He loves your daughter so much," Isabelle whispered to Ciara.
"Alright, I think we should start eating first before we discuss the wedding between our grandchildren," Grandma Cynthia joined the conversation.
Andrew and Alveena looked at each other with triumphant smiles on their faces. It seemed that the family dinner between the two families was going smoothly tonight.
