Joseph was calm, “So are you making things difficult for me or for Addison?”
“How am I embarrassing Addison? Her mother has mentioned to me several times that as long as you want, you can even have your wedding tomorrow.” Harrison was browbeating, “Don’t you pass the buck again.”
“Addison is going back to France at the end of this month. Besides her brother, her whole family will emigrate to France. So if you want me to follow her to France, it’s fine for me. France is a good place.”
“What?” Harrison turned blue and stood up from his seat, walking back and forth inside the house. He then came back and slammed the table, “I don’t care if Addison is leaving or not. You must get married by the end of this year anyway. You’re in your thirties now, always being idle, and still hooked up with a married woman. What would it look like if others knew it?”
“Marry whoever I want?”
“Yes. Anyone except Hayden!”
Joseph held his arms and looked around. He then pulled out Eleanor Beckham, who was hiding in the doorway and eavesdropping, “Then let her be it. You knew her well and even made her as a child bride for me.”
“Huh?” Eleanor was shocked.
Harrison turned blue, looking at Eleanor, “You little brat…”
Mark was appalled, trying to smooth things over, “Young master, don’t make fun of Miss Beckham, she’s your aunt. It’s incest from the aspect of your seniority, and it is also illegal from the age.”
Joseph said blankly, “She is grandpa’s adopted daughter, without any blood relationship. As for the age, it was grandpa who wants me to get married by the end of this year. If grandpa doesn’t mind, I can wait. How old are you now?”
Eleanor was dumbfounded and stumbling as being held by Joseph in the arm, “Thirteen.”
“Thirteen, it won’t be long to wait for another five years.”
Joseph spoke as he looked at Harrison with a straight face.
Harrison was so furious that he almost smashed the table, “I think you’re crazy! It’s outrageous!”
Joseph let go of Eleanor and tidied his suit, “Everything I did is always unreasonable to you. What else I can do?”
“Get out of here.” Harrison slapped the table. Everyone was silent while Harrison’s loud voice echoed in the room, “From today onwards, don’t you ever set foot in my place if you haven’t figured out what you did wrong.”
Harrison was indeed pissed off this time.
Nobody was dared to stop Joseph from leaving. Mark wanted to persuade him, but he was rebuked by Harrison.
“Whoever dares to stop him, get out of here too.”
Mark turned around and only saw Harrison sitting on the fauteuil, blowing a fuse, “Who does he look like? His father was so good-tempered back then, how did he give birth to such a son?”
Mark and Eleanor looked at each other and then gazed at Harrison.
This might be known as intergenerational inheritance.
After sending away Eleanor, who was poorly frightened, the maid served the chrysanthemum tea again. Mark tidied up the chessboard at the side, “The young master is still young and impetuous. Why should Sir bother with him?”
“Is he still young? He’s in his thirties and still being a jerk about his marriage. Am I wrong to let him get married? As for his position now, how much troubles will he get into for not getting married? Is it a joke that Noah got trouble one after another?”
