Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Complex Feelings

Ronan couldn’t help but ask, "Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

’Anyone who didn’t know better would think Grandpa was looking at an idiot,’ Ronan thought.

Mr. Rhodes was at a loss for words. After a long moment, he gently patted Ronan’s shoulder, sighed, and said, "Ah, Ronan. Even though your uncle raised you, when it comes to wits, you’ve inherited your father’s... cheerful naivete."

Hearing this, Ronan asked, confused, "Grandpa, what do you mean by that? You’re not unhappy with Melody, are you?... She may be young, but she has a really great personality, and she gets along great with my wife."

"I know it might be a mental hurdle for my wife to start calling her ’Aunt,’ but don’t worry, I’ll convince her!"

Mr. Rhodes quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no, don’t try to convince your wife... Ronan, you should listen to your wife more often. And with things at the company, if there’s anything you’re not sure about, you should ask her more often too..."

Mr. Rhodes was truly speechless. ’If Ronan can’t even figure out who his own uncle has his eye on, how can he possibly figure out what’s going on at the company?’

’The outside world always praised Ronan as mature, steady, and a promising young man with the same flair Roman had in his youth. But Mr. Rhodes always felt his grandson was a bit of an idiot...’

Then Mr. Rhodes sighed again. ’Then again, you couldn’t really blame Ronan for getting it wrong.’

’Who would have ever thought that the eldest son of the Rhodes family, Roman Rhodes, a man with a boundless future, would fall for a divorced woman from a common background, and one with a child at that?’

Mr. Rhodes’s emotions were a complicated mess...

He was thrilled that his eldest son was finally thinking of marriage. It was something he had been desperately hoping for for over twenty years.

In the dead of night, Mr. Rhodes would often repent and pray before his late wife’s memorial tablet. He hoped she could forgive him, that her spirit would watch over them and bless their eldest son with a partner, so he wouldn’t be left all alone, living a life of solitude after he himself was gone.

Seeing Roman, now in his forties, still show no interest in romance or marriage, he had nearly given up hope.

Now that a glimmer of hope had finally appeared, he’d been ecstatic for a long time, thinking his late wife had heard his prayers from the heavens.

But he never, ever imagined that the person Roman had finally taken an interest in would have... such circumstances.

Roman’s own qualifications were impeccable, from his status to his appearance. It would be his first marriage, and his romantic history was spotless.

It would be one thing if he didn’t choose a young lady from a family of equal standing, but why on earth did he have to pick a divorced woman with a child?

His traditional values were clashing with reality, and for a moment, Mr. Rhodes couldn’t quite put a name to the feeling in his heart.

’Was he satisfied with this prospective daughter-in-law?’

’Of course not.’

’Winnie Summers’s circumstances were a far cry from those of Kylie Walsh, who came from a prestigious medical family.’

’Mr. Rhodes had felt that even Kylie Walsh, a woman from a renowned family, wasn’t good enough for Roman, to say nothing of Winnie Summers, who came from a modest background, was divorced, and had a child.’

’If Roman married a woman with that kind of baggage, what would the outside world think of the Rhodes Family?’

’With Winnie Summers’s background and experience, could she really handle the responsibilities of being the matriarch of the Rhodes Family?’

’And what’s more, Winnie Summers had a grown daughter. Would Roman be able to get along with her?’

’If they really got married, would this daughter she brought with her, the one who wasn’t a Rhodes, have to call him Grandpa?’

’Being called ’Grandpa’ by a child with a different surname would feel strange... Would the girl even agree to change her surname to Rhodes?’
