Chapter 1465: Chapter 1465: Can We Please Stop Talking About This

But now... he’s actually speaking up for her. What on earth is happening? Could it be that she’s having hearing problems?

Scarlett Yates truly suspected she misheard, and quickly reached up to fiddle with her ear.

Ian Douglas took one glance at her expression and knew what she was thinking. His sharp black eyes narrowed as he coldly snorted, "My granddaughter-in-law doesn’t have to have an exceptional family background, nor does she need to be extraordinarily beautiful. As long as her education isn’t too bad, that’s enough. But she absolutely cannot be a coward. Encountering problems without promptly resolving them, immediately packing up and running away, avoiding them — that’s the behavior of a coward."

Tsk... When Matthew Saxon heard these words, he couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows twice.

His grandfather really changes quickly.

Thinking back, his expectations for a granddaughter-in-law were exceptionally high: family background needed to match the Saxon Family, looks and figure needed to be top-notch, and education needed to be impressive. Conversation should be graceful and elegant, temperament should be gentle and quiet, and talents should be many — knowing how to play the piano, paint, or have excellent calligraphy skills.

Back then, Ian Douglas picked Pearl Simmons based on these criteria one by one.

But now, after accepting Scarlett Yates, he’s spouting such insincere words, saying family background, appearance, and education don’t matter. It’s as if the overly critical old man was never Ian Douglas at all.

Scarlett Yates was a bit dazed.

For a moment, she hadn’t reacted, and couldn’t adjust to Ian Douglas’ drastically different attitude.

The first thought that popped into her mind was: Hasn’t this old man been stimulated by something?

She knew she shouldn’t think like that, but what could have possibly happened to change Ian Douglas so drastically?

"Grandfather," every time Ian Douglas spoke, Matthew Saxon’s face grew darker. Seeing that Ian Douglas had no intention of stopping, he quickly walked a few steps over, coughed, and lowered his voice to murmur sullenly, "Can we not mention this matter anymore? I know I was wrong. I’ve already apologized to Scarlett. What’s the point of bringing up old matters?"

It’s like rubbing salt in the wound or pouring oil on the fire.

Things were already resolved, but now suddenly being brought up again — isn’t that deliberately setting him up?

Matthew Saxon kept his voice very low, so only he and Ian Douglas could hear it. ℯℯ𝑙.

"Snort, now you’re nervous. What were you doing last night? You let Scarlett, a delicate girl, run away from home in the middle of the night — isn’t that excessive? This time, I’m definitely standing by Scarlett’s side. When you were being reckless outside before, I warned you repeatedly. Women outside are just for play, never to be brought home. For so many years, you never brought any woman home. Now, you’re married and have a wife, yet you’re making such rookie mistakes."

"It’s only because Scarlett Yates likes you and can’t bear to leave you, which is why she returned with just a little coaxing. I wish she had a bigger temper and stayed outside for ten days to half a month. No matter how you coaxed, she shouldn’t relent."

After saying so much, Ian Douglas’s mouth was dry. He picked up the steaming tea on the table and took a couple of sips. After moistening his throat, he continued, "It’s just a pity that girl’s ears are too soft. Just a few sweet words from you, and she’s back with you again."
