“While Daryl didn't show up long enough, it doesn't mean that the marriage contract stopped in force. In fact, even though Dylan was extremely hostile towards Fenderson, he had yet to send anyone to officially terminate the contract. As long as the marriage contract is not cancelled, then the rule is still in effect until the day that the Crawford family chooses to admit it!” obviously Bryson before looking at Noah.
“Do you understand what I mean now, Noah?”
“...To think that the Crawford and Fenderson families have such a history... However, since the two families are still at odds with each other, then the marriage contract should automatically be canceled, right, Lord Fenderson?” noah answered somewhat reluctantly.
“While it is true that Dylan and Daryl had a great conflict back then, I don't think his son would actually have the courage or courage to personally change or defy the rules set by his father!”
“...Alright, Mr. Fenderson. I'm just going to pretend that I never raised this issue. However, remember that we have been at war with the Crawford family for many years. We will never stop harboring our grudges against the Crawford family, especially after the incident involving Xara that brought great harm to our family!” noah said before finally leaving the study.
"He's getting sassy by the day!" jasmine said coldly.
He then ran to his grandfather's side and started massaging his shoulders before saying, “Stay, regardless of how much Noah enjoys the plan, he is no match for you, grandfather! To think that you could find something so incredible in such a short time was just to fool him! Ha ha ha!"
Laughing back in response, Bryson then gently patted the back of Jasmine's hand before saying, "But I didn't cheat on her, Jasmine ... You're actually engaged to the young master of the Crawford family!"
“...H-hah?!”
Jasmine was momentarily stunned speechless because of that.
“...How is... How is it possible, grandfather? You can't be serious, can you..?”
He could never imagine that something as absurd as this would actually happen to him.
"Of course I'm serious!"
"...But... There's still something I don't quite understand... Since such a marriage contract existed, why was the relationship of aunt and Peter—the second ruler of the Crawford— family opposed and criticized so much back then?" jasmine asked doubtfully.
“You are not the same as your aunt. When you were born, Daryl was still the head of the family. Dylan only became the head when you reached the age of one year. At that time, Dylan had sent Peter to the Fenderson family to steal something from us, and nothing. He was sent to steal our most precious family heirloom! If he had succeeded, the Fenderson family would have been a mess by then! Dylan has lied to us, and I don't want to lose my daughter and my whole family!”
“... What exactly is the item?” asked Jasmine astonished.
“...Stay, can that marriage contract really still count now, grandfather?” ask Jasmine again. To be honest, this was what worried him the most.
“To be honest, even I cannot say for sure.. I also feel helpless with this situation at certain times!”
"Then why is there no news about the young master of the Crawford family, even after all these years, grandfather?"
“Well, Dylan made sure that the young master of the Crawford family grew up in poverty. It allowed the young master to blend in well among the other ordinary men. While Dylan was also actively trying to conceal his whereabouts and identity, I had managed to find some clues during the years I investigated. My guess is that the famous Mr Crawford of Mayberry is closely related to the young master of the Crawford family! ”
"Trs. Crawford?”
"Indeed! However, whenever I tried to send someone to investigate the matter, Dylan always responded immediately! Due to his constant interference, I cannot investigate the matter any further!”
Jasmine had come to learn about many things from this conversation alone.
However, the biggest surprise for her was the fact that she was under contract to marry Mr. Crawford!
It's too real.
After all, he hated the Crawford family. Each of them.
They are the reason why his parents died.
But here he is, learning about all this now. It was as if heaven was playing tricks on him.
"Then ... What happened to Daryl Crawford?"
“She hid. I haven't seen him in twenty years! The Crawford family issue is as complicated as what the Fenderson family has to deal with!” obviously Brison.
After that, his grandfather and grandson continued to talk for quite a while in his study room.
