Andy's pretty face turned red. She was unable to hide her shyness.
That was when Angeline knew that Andy and Grayson shared the same feelings for one another. Angeline said to her, "An, Grayson's not that young anymore. It's time for him to start a family. Since you like him, I can take the lead and match the two of you up. How about it?"
Unexpectedly, Andy widened her eyes and resisted fiercely. "I do have feelings for him, Mommy, but I don’t want to marry him.”
"Why is that?" Angeline asked in surprise.
Andy’s eyes were red as she murmured, "I promised Sis Daisy that I’ll protect Robbie my whole life, but we've lost him. It's reasonable to say that we should've been buried with Robbie, but Robbie had a big wish that hasn't been completed yet. We have to fulfill it."
Angeline was truly moved, but how could she be willing to let Robbie restrain the freedom and happiness of these flowerlike girls?
Angeline said, "An, Robbie's great wish is t o have peace in the world. It’s a wish that requires the concerted efforts of countless generations. You girls being this broadminded and open makes me very proud of you. But I don't want you to lose your happiness because of Robbie.”
Andy was determined as she said, "You don’t have to persuade us anymore. Mommy. I've made up my mind and I won’t change it."
She also added, "He'll have to find himself another wife.
Angeline proceeded to heave a sigh.
Outside the door, the Ghost members heard the conversation between Angeline and Andy. Each of them stayed silent as they looked at Grayson sympathetically.
Grayson pursed his lips but said very open-mindedly, "Why are you looking at me like that? She just wants to do something bigger in life, not fall in love with someone else. I still have hope."
Storm said, "We all know that you want to start a family and enjoy the warmth of a family. Since Andy has no intention of starting a family, why don't we introduce you to another girlfriend?”
Grayson sneered at him. "It’s not like I can have a spark with just anyone else. I've fallen head over heels for her, so if she doesn't marry, I won't as well. I’ll protect her forever."
Storm and Tempest looked at each other, then Tempest jokingly said, "I've never taken you as a saint when it comes to love."
