Henry jumped up from the couch like a spring-loaded bear trap.

Sure, I had told the kid before to find someone for Lily if they really couldn’t be together.

But now that he’d actually done it, I’m so mad I could explode.

Introducing a man to his own wife? What the hell was wrong with this generation?

How on earth had my perfectly normal son and daughter-in-law ended up raising such a weirdo?

Right. Men, they’re all scum.

Just then, Blanc, Nancy, and Ivan walked into the living room-right in time to hear James’ insane speech.

Blanc blew up, eyes wide with rage. “You introduced her to who? What kind of monster did I raise?”

Nancy’s expression turned dark too.

Even though I had already made up my mind to treat Lily as my own daughter no matter what, the thought often divorcing tomorrow still made my heart ache.

Ivan gasped in disbelief. “James, what the hell did you just say? You actually introduced Lily to someone Lily’s amazing! You’re really handing her over to another guy? Are you out of your mind?”

The truth was, James hadn’t introduced anyone. Lily and Jackson were in love, freely and mutually.

And James didn’t want to push Lily into anyone else’s arms either.

But since Lily only had eyes for Jackson, since she didn’t love me-couldn’t even kiss me without gagging-I’m not going to let anyone blame her.

So I’ll take it all on myself.

After sitting silently in the tension for a moment, he spoke again.

“I don’t like women.

I’ve met Jackson a few times. He seems decent. So I introduced him to Lily.

He’s really into her, and she’s willing to give it a try.

They look good together. The Scotts are a respectable family. If she really does marry into the Scott family, you can stop worrying. I hope you’ll agree to the divorce.”

Grace pressed her hand to her chest.

The Luke and Scott families had been close for generations. Of course I knew Jackson. That kid was tall, good-looking and there’d never been any gossip about him. He really is a good one.

But the thought of her amazing granddaughter-in-law soon becoming Jackson’s grandmother, Hannah Dawson’s granddaughter-in-law made her heart ache like hell.

“You little punk!”

Henry was so furious his breaths came in gasps.

Thank goodness I’m still healthy and strong. If I needed a cane, I would’ve grabbed it and smacked James upside the head without hesitation.

Nancy looked utterly defeated.

She thought about how James used to be-cold and quiet but such a sweet little boy. Her heart softened again, hoping, just barely, that he might change his mind.

Yes, those boy-love novels were trending online these days-I’d even read one or two herself.

But I still couldn’t bring myself to accept my son falling in love with a man.

I couldn’t even imagine how two men… consummated anything.

She took a deep breath and muttered wearily, “Lily’s so good to you. You really won’t regret giving her ap

“I won’t.”

James pushed down the aching in his chest and added, “What I would regret is staying married to her

Nancy clutched her forehead and gave up on talking.

Blanc was wheezing like a steam engine, but he knew his grandson too well.

Hitting him wouldn’t work. Yelling at .. wouldn’t work. Once that kid made up his mind, no one could change it.

It seemed I was doomed to have a son-in-law instead of a daughter-in-law.

He imagined James dragging some like hugging and kissing in front of them.

Blanc’s vision went dark. around the house, showing off their love, even doing cutesy crap

He opened his mouth again and again but couldn’t say a single word.

“Ugh…”

Henry also imagined James cuddling up with some weird, girly dude-and it made him want to throw up.

The moment Henry imagined himself having dinner with a male grandson-in-law in the future, Henry clutched his chest and collapsed dramatically onto the couch.

“This little punk just thinks I’ve lived too long and wants me dead already!

My heart! I’m having a heart attack! Just go ahead and plan my funeral! Burn paper money for me tomorrow at the cemetery!”

“Fine, let him get divorced from Lily then.”

Grace didn’t exactly love the idea of her eldest grandson cuddling and smooching with another man either.

But clearly, he was beyond saving. There was no point dragging Lily down with him just because of their own selfishness.

As much as I had dreamed of Lily and James living happily ever after, I genuinely liked Lily and truly wanted to see her happy. I couldn’t bear to let such a good girl waste her life on someone who’d never love her back.

She sighed deeply and added, “That kid from the Scott family actually looks like a good match for Lily. We should prepare a generous dowry for her. We can’t let her feel wronged.”

“Hmph!”

Henry gave James a furious glare.

I still couldn’t accept the fact that my grandson might bring home a male spouse, but I also knew we couldn’t use Lily’s kindness and attachment to the family to keep her stuck in a broken marriage.

After pressing his chest a few more times, he muttered hopelessly, “Fine. Let the Scott boy come over for dinner tonight.

If he really treats Lily well, I’ll agree to the divorce.

I’m going to have a serious talk with Jackson’s grandpa. I acknowledge Lily as my granddaughter now, and if they dare mistreat her after the wedding, I’ll make sure they regret it.”

James was obviously too far gone. Blanc and Nancy had nothing left to say.

They had no choice but to agree to Jackson coming over for dinner, so they could at least get a read on whether the guy was truly reliable.

“Grandpa, Grandma, are you really going to let James divorce Lily?”

Ivan panicked when he saw Henry and Grace nodding at the idea of dinner with Jackson. “Lily’s amazing! I don’t want a new sister-in-law, and I definitely don’t want a brother-in-law!”

“James, can’t you just be straight again? What’s so great about being with a guy? You’ll regret letting Lily go!”

“Lily and Jackson are a great match.”

James subtly pressed the spot on his chest that kept aching and replied coldly, “I hope they get married soon.

Ivan was blunt, but he wasn’t stupid.

Hearing James say that with such finality made it crystal clear-even a guy as outwardly straight as James was way past the point of no return.

He felt like crying.

But what can I do? No matter how much I yelled or begged, James liked men now. End of story.

So all he could do was sit in a sad little corner of the couch, waiting for Lily to be stolen away by some random guy.

Now that everyone had agreed to let Jackson come for dinner, James didn’t waste any more time. Wearing a cold expression, he called Lily and told her to bring Jackson over.

Lily would surely cooperate to the fullest-she was eager to set him free.

To make sure the elders would agree to the divorce, she even reminded Jackson to behave well.

If he made a good enough impression, she’d give him a bonus of 2,000 dollars on the spot.

Lily had actually driven herself today.
