Chapter 708 Why Has He Not Proposed Yet

Zachary frowned as he replied, “His attitude was really horrible before.” Although the way Benjamin treated Arissa

had improved a lot lately, Zachary was still uncertain if his father actually liked her or was simply treating her well

because they asked him to.

 

Edwin chuckled. “Your father has always been cold to everyone. He was cold to your mother because he didn’t

know her that well and thought she had ulterior motives for being with him. Now that he has gotten to know her

better, it’s only natural that his attitude toward her will change. Trust me; there’s no way he’d let her sleep in his

bedroom if he didn’t like her. Your father doesn’t just let anyone into his bedroom, you know? Even the

housekeepers at home aren’t allowed in there. I don’t think he’d even let me in there if he didn’t need someone to

clean it from time to time.”

Zachary narrowed his eyes as he said, “Maybe he just wants to take advantage of Mommy.”

“For that to happen, your father would first have to like your mother. He could’ve just let her stay in the guest room,

but he insisted on moving all her stuff into his bedroom instead. That’s how you know he likes her, Zachary. He

would never let people near him unless he likes them. Have you ever noticed how he only pays attention to your

mother when eating? He’d even help top up her plate, which is something he has never done for anyone else. Even

Gavin rarely gets that kind of treatment from him. I’m sure your father just hasn’t realized that he likes your

mother,” Edwin explained with a smile.

Zachary’s eyes went wide with surprise. “Huh? How is it possible to like someone without realizing it?”

“This might come as a surprise to you, but adults can sometimes be a lot shyer than kids when it comes to their

feelings. Don’t worry about it, Zachary. The adults can handle their feelings themselves. I’m sure your mother likes

him too if she’s willing to marry him. Do you not want them to be together?” Edwin said.

Zachary bit down on his lip and shook his head.

“No, I fully support them being together if that’s what they want.”

He did want Benjamin and Arissa to be together, but he was a little worried after seeing how poorly he treated her

in the past.

Edwin gave him a pat on the head. “I know your mother only promised to marry him to calm your grandpa down,

but he has taken her word for it. Even so, whether or not they’ll actually get married is ultimately up to them.”

“Why hasn’t Mr. Graham proposed to my mommy yet?” Zachary asked with a pout.

 

Edwin let out a sigh as he replied, “There has been a bit of a misunderstanding between your father and your

grandpa. He hates doing what your grandpa wants him to do, so it’s possible that he feels pressured into marrying

your mother. As such, he might not marry her even if he has feelings for her. Do you understand what I mean?”

“What, is he going through a rebellious phase or something?”

Edwin chuckled at that. “Maybe.”

Zachary clicked his tongue in disapproval. “This is the first time I’ve seen an adult behave like a rebellious teen!”

“Who are you talking about?” Gavin asked as he came out of the lounge and sat down on the couch.

Zachary shot him a glance and said, “We’re talking about your daddy, of course!”

“Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. By the way, Zachary, do you not like Mommy being with Daddy?”

Gavin was a little worried since Zachary was vehemently opposed to it before.

As Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse saw him as their leader, they were more inclined to follow in his footsteps.

Zachary shot him a glance as he said, “No. I’m just concerned about whether Mr. Graham truly likes Mommy.”
