"He saved you?" Joe frowned and asked her in reply. How many things did she have that he didn't know?
"Yes." Lily nodded, but she didn't intend to talk about it in detail. "Grandpa, it's a long story. I can't finish it in a short time. But I beg you. Don't object to us being together."
She held Eric's hand tightly, sincerely looked at Joe with hope, and said, "Many people who have lived together with each other for a lifetime can't experience what they have experienced together in this period of time. This is fate. In a life, we need to find a other half, not how gentle and considerate he is to you, but when you need him most, he will appear in front of you. No matter what happens, he will always think of you first. Even if the whole world abandons you, he will still silently stand behind you and support you."
While speaking, Lily couldn't help crying, "Grandpa, you have lived most of your life, seen and experienced more than us. I just hope that you can support us to be together. Although we are young, I know what kind of people are suitable for us. We can live together."
Eric reached out and held her in his arms. He couldn't help kissing her forehead, and reached out to wipe off her tears on her cheeks. He softly comforted her, "Don't cry, okay?"
Seeing the interaction between the two people and what Lily said, Joe was really moved.
"Get up." He sighed.
Hearing this, Lily asked hopefully, "Grandpa, do you agree?"
"Let's get up first."
"No, if you don't agree, I won't stand up." Lily said firmly.
"Girl, don't be insatiable." Joe gave her a dissatisfied look.
"Grandpa..." Before Lily could say anything else, she was interrupted by Eric. He winked at her and said, "We need to listen to Grandpa."
Lily didn't understand what he meant, while Eric had already turned to Joe and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa."
He didn't call Joe "Grandpa Joe" anymore.
Hearing him call him that, Joe immediately said, "Don't call me that. It doesn't mean that I agree you to be together even if I ask you to get up."
"I know." Eric answered with a faint smile. He held Lily's arm and stood up with his back hand on her waist all the time. He looked straight at Joe.
"In my eyes, girl's family is my family. I will call you whatever she calls you. It has nothing to do with you agree or not."
How domineering he was! No matter you agree or not, I admit it.
In other words, even if you don't want your granddaughter to be with me, I have to be with her!
When Joe heard these words, he couldn't help glaring at him. How could he say like that?
"I'm not that eloquent as girl. I don't know what to say." Eric went on, "I only know that since I have chosen, it means that I'm certain of it, and that I'm sure of it is my lifetime. Grandpa, maybe I shouldn't call you Grandpa, but since the moment I decided to be with her, I want to call you in this way."
"You..." Joe couldn't find words to reply him.
"I know you are not satisfied with me." Eric went on, "Just as girl said, some people have lived together all their lives, but maybe they didn't experience a lot of things as we have. We have experienced together to live or die, which kind of fate is not common. I believe that this is the god's arrangement."
Joe didn't know much about Eric. But he was grateful for what he had done to save Lily.
If he had been more thoughtful at that time, he would have found that they had been together since then. Lily had cooked for him every day and even looked after him carefully.
Thinking of this, Joe sighed. "What's your progress… What's the step?"
He was too embarrassed to ask this question, but he had to.
"Last night, it's the most." Eric answered without batting an eye.
"Really?" Joe asked in reply. From the photos in the newspaper, they seemed to be… Fierce.
"Really!" Eric answered confidently, "Grandpa, I have promised aunt that I won't touch her in ten years."
"Auntie?" Joe frowned in confusion, and then he seemed to be suddenly enlightened. "You mean you have promised Tina?"
"Yes."
