What a shame that his grandson was such a failure that he couldn't even keep a hold of his wife.
Cecilia calmly said, "Sir, you know the situation between Owen and me. We are already divorced and I am no longer his wife, so I can't call you grandpa anymore. Was there anything you need?"
Ever since her grandfather found out about Trenton's deception, he had forbidden him from visiting.
Trenton had probably been pampered all his life, so he had never been turned away from someone's door. Even when he knew he was wrong, he wasn't willing to admit it. So, he hadn't stepped foot on the Yates family's doorstep for quite some time.
"Cecilia, could you let me in to sit down? By the way, is your grandfather home?"
Cecilia led Trenton into the house, saying as they walked, "My grandfather is home. Are you here to apologize to him, sir?"
Trenton's face turned slightly red but quickly returned to normal. "In the past, I was wrong. I deceived your grandfather, who treated me as a friend. I can't blame him for being angry. Anyway, I should apologize to him in person."
Cecilia defeated Owen.
Although the Yates family was ordinary, they were honest. Cecilia was sharp and not afraid of Olina. Trenton thought that Cecilia was worthy of being the next matriarch of the Martinez family.
Olina was not qualified. While Shane was handling company affairs, Trenton didn't want to hand over the Martinez family to his daughter-in-law but waited for Cecilia to step in and be the matriarch of the Martinez family, bypassing Olina.
He had to take the Yates family seriously, starting with apologizing to Devon Yates.
Cecilia led Trenton and his people into the house.
"Grandpa, Trenton is here."
Upon seeing Trenton, Devon's face darkened. He looked around, seemingly looking for something to kick this old trickster out.
"Devon, I'm sorry. I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have deceived you. I came here specifically to apologize to you. Please forgive me this time."
Trenton didn't wait for Devon to kick him out. He walked over and apologized sincerely.
"It's all your fault that my granddaughter, Cecilia, had to go through a divorce without even having a romance. If it weren't for you forcing her, we wouldn't be in this mess. Your rich people's games are something we poor can't afford. Get lost!"
Devon was really annoyed with Trenton.
And he blamed himself.
He had originally thought of helping his granddaughter find a boyfriend when Trenton mentioned his unmarried grandson. Who would have thought that he would push his granddaughter into a pit of fire?
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm the old trickster. It's all my fault. Devon, you can scold me. Even if you scold me, I can take it. I just hope you can forgive me this time. I promise I won't deceive you again."
Trenton lowered his stance.
He explained, "I didn't want to harm Cecilia. I really hoped that my disobedient grandson could live a good life with Cecilia. Devon, we are both grandfathers. You love Cecilia and hope for her happiness. I love Owen and hope for his happiness, too."
Devon hummed, "You can't force someone to love you. Don't you know that? You've lived a long life, but you still don't understand this. You've wasted your life."
"I was wrong, Devon. I was really wrong. Please, forgive me this time."
Devon still hummed coldly, but he started to make coffee for his guests.
Seeing that the two old men wouldn't start arguing, Cecilia quietly slipped out.
She saw two bodyguards from the Martinez family carrying gifts and wondered where Owen had gone.
