Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 131

It left a sweet feeling in his heart. Even though a few decades had already passed, he was unable to forget the romance he had back then. Abel had spent many years focusing on business and was supposed to be more hard-hearted and decisive. However, the older he was, the more softhearted he became, especially when facing his family. “Carter, Amelia’s already someone else’s wife. I think you should let go of your feelings for her. The two of you aren’t destined to be together in this lifetime,” said Abel sincerely. “If she’s happy in her marriage, I’ll quietly watch over her. If her marriage falls apart, I’ll save her from it. I don’t intend to give her up in this lifetime.” Abel looked Carter in the eye and asked, “Do you mean that other than Amelia, you won’t consider marrying any other woman?”

“Granddad, marriage is just a formality. All those couples get is a certificate.” “Even if it’s only just a certificate, I want you to get married. I’m already almost at the end of my life. I don’t want to die without seeing my great-grandchild.” “Two of my cousins are married, and another is already pregnant with a child. Your great-grandchild will come soon enough. Just don’t complain that you have too many to take care of later on.” Carter had skillfully deflected the problem away from him. Abel glared at him and replied, “Don’t try to avoid the topic. I’ll give you a deadline. If she’s still happily married by the time you’re thirty, then you have to get married. I’ll personally select a suitable wife for you amongst the daughters of those rich families.”

Carter closed his eyes. “Granddad, you have promised not to interfere with my marriage.” Abel replied, “You’re still young. It’s the best time to work on your career now, so I won’t intervene. But by the time you’re thirty, your career would be successful and it would be the right time to start a family. If you marry the daughter of a rich family, it’ll be beneficial to the business too.” Carter looked at Abel. “Given the power of the Scotts, I don’t think I need to marry a rich lady to help the business, right? That would make me look really useless.” Abel replied, “If you don’t want a rich lady, fine. But you have to get married either way.

Amelia’s already married. You’ll never have a future with her. Just get over your feelings.” Carter lay back down, his voice was full of exhaustion. “I’m tired and I’m going to sleep now. Why don’t you get the chauffeur to send you back for dinner? It’s really late now.” Abel had a complicated look in his eyes. “Carter, tell me honestly. Do you really don’t have any feelings for Jennifer? She’s quite a good girl and seems to really like you. Although she’s from a rich family, she is still willing to cook for you. I’m sure that if the two of you get together, she’ll be a huge help to your life.

Are you really not going to consider her at all?” Carter shook his head and looked at Abel with a hint of guilt. However, love could not be forced. “I know she treats me well and she took a lot of effort to take care of me these few days. I’m thankful for her but I don’t love her. I only see her as a sister. If I marry her, neither of us will be happy in the end.” Abel then gave Carter some advice. “It’s only because you’re obsessing over something you can’t have that you’re acting so stubborn. If you take a step back, you’ll find that there are so many other good women other than Amelia. Aren’t those pretty, young girls better than her?” “I have never expected you to say something so superficial.”

Abel was caught off guard by Carter’s words. He had good intentions but was criticized by his own grandson in the end. “You brat, is this how you speak to your grandfather?” Abel glared at him. Carter smiled sincerely. “Sorry, I know you only mean well for me, but I really have no intention to get married right now. I also don’t intend to join the Scott Group. You’re still healthy and strong. I’m sure you’ll live a long life, so you can take good care of the company. As for your great-grandchildren, you can look for my cousins. They’ll be happy to entertain you.”

Abel’s eyes widened. “Nonsense! I won’t force you to get married, but you definitely have to take over the company! I’m getting old and your father and uncles aren’t fit to manage the company. All your cousins only know how to play around so they can’t handle such an important task. I’ll only feel at ease if you take over the company.” Carter fell silent. Abel then suggested a bold deal. “As long as you agree to return to the company, I’ll take my hands off of your issue with Amelia.” Carter instantly brightened up. He said excitedly, “Granddad, do you really mean it?” “Weren’t you trying to trap me into saying this anyway? I watched you grow up. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
