Chapter 1169: How Wonderful It Would Be to Marry into Our Ink Family
Whenever the Old Master mentions this matter, he gets angry, and Summer Sutton just asked a question, but he ended up ranting about Manuel Ink.
Summer Sutton suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Manuel Ink.
The Old Master seemed afraid she might figure out he only returned to the country because he missed Manuel Ink, and he kept emphasizing to Summer Sutton several times, "I’m telling you, I don’t miss that kid at all. Now that he’s gone, I’m finally relaxed. Not even a bit."
"Yes, you’re absolutely right," Summer Sutton’s lips twitched, agreeing with him.
The Old Master ordered the driver up front to drive the car, then turned his head to continue chatting with her.
After staring at Summer Sutton for a while, he suddenly remarked, "Speaking of which, that kid named Jing got ditched at the wedding, was it because of this reason?"
He was referring to Summer Sutton not being at the wedding.
Summer Sutton silently acknowledged his words.
Seeing her like this made the Old Master pause for a while, then he suddenly laughed, which to Summer Sutton’s ears, sounded somewhat like gloating.
"That’s why you two aren’t suitable; even getting married comes with so many hassles. What’s so great about marrying a man like that?"
He glanced at her sideways and seized the opportunity to encourage her, "If you were marrying into our Ink Family, I guarantee nothing like today would occur."
All his talk was still about matchmaking Summer Sutton with Manuel Ink.
"Grandpa Ink!" Summer Sutton was speechless, giving him a chiding glance.
"What did I say wrong?" The Old Master didn’t see anything problematic with his words, paused, and added, "By the way, when do you plan to pay back those five years?"
Summer Sutton stared blankly at him, stunned by his words.
Does he still have lingering thoughts about this matter?
"I happened to change my mind about visiting Manuel Ink; why don’t you accompany me back to M Country?" The Old Master gave her a sideways glance and asked again.
Summer Sutton remained silent after his words.
If she followed him this time, how long would it be before she could return to Northtown?
Last time she could leave, it was because Manuel Ink respected her decision. If the Old Master was resolute this time, would Manuel Ink continue to help her?
"I just want to see you a few more days, why act all reluctant? Never mind, I won’t force you if you don’t want to see this old man. Tell me where you’d like to get off, and I’ll take you there!" The Old Master seemed a bit frustrated by her attitude, waved his hand, and turned his face to look at the scenery outside the window.
"Grandpa Ink, that’s not what I meant!" Summer Sutton hurriedly wanted to explain, but the Old Master turned his head and looked at her, casually asking, "Then what do you mean?"
Summer Sutton was rendered speechless by his question, unsure of how to respond.
After a long silence, she finally said, "Didn’t you come back all the way just to see Manuel? Why not meet with Manuel before heading back to the country?"
She subtly observed the old man’s reaction.
Summer Sutton brought up this suggestion with her own intentions.
As long as the Old Master brought her to see Manuel Ink before taking her back to the country, she believed Manuel Ink would help her.
Old Master Ink probably considered that going back to the country involved a lot of time and effort and, after some contemplation, nodded, "Then let’s delay the return by a few days."
He raised an eyebrow while looking at her, "I’m quite bored here; will you accompany me for these few days?"
"Sure." Summer Sutton didn’t hesitate this time and gently nodded.
It’s just accompanying him for a few days, nothing significant to her.
