Chapter 32 The Reason " Not just to appease him . " Finished Micah kept his gaze forward , skillfully cracking eggs into the frying pan . Amid the sizzling and popping oil , Oriana saw his lips move , forming words she couldn't catch . " What did you say ? I didn't hear that clearly . " Oriana stepped a little closer . Micah turned the heat down . This time , Oriana caught every word . " I married you , not to appease my grandfather . " The eggs bubbled softly in the pan , releasing a faint , savory aroma . Oriana stared blankly at Micah , her mind swirling with scattered thoughts . Not to appease his grandfather ? Then why ? Micah didn't elaborate further , and Oriana felt it wasn't appropriate to press . Perhaps he had his own plans . After a pause , she spoke honestly . " Mr. Caldwell , I probably benefit more from this marriage . If there's anything you need , just tell me . I'll do whatever I can . " Micah cared about only one thing . A faint smile lifted the corner of his mouth. " Calling me Mr. Caldwell - aren't you being a little too formal ? " Oriana hesitated . " Then should I call you Micah ? " " Sure . " Micah nodded and plated the eggs . " Breakfast is ready , Oriana ." Óriana choked slightly at the casual intimacy . He nodded . " Chubby calls you that . Why can't I ? " Even without seeing his eyes clearly , Oriana felt an instant softness emanate from him . " Alright , that works perfectly ." 1/3 8:29 Fri , Oct 10 Chapter 32 The Reason Two years together - it would really be that long . 99 Finished " After breakfast , Oriana , could you take a photo of our marriage license for me ? " Micah asked . " I need to show my grandfather , so he stops nagging . " Oriana nodded repeatedly . " Okay . " ***** At Seabar , Grant and Luna set out around noon , heading toward the Sterling residence . They had planned a dinner last night , but just then Luna received an email from the Cormac team about joining their project . " You're starting that quickly ? I thought it was only next semester ? " Upon hearing the news , Evelyn looked reluctant . She had only just brought Luna back home a few years ago , and now she was leaving to study again . She didn't even know when Luna would return . " You're short - sighted , " Bramwell snapped . " Starting earlier means Luna can get familiar with Mr. Flint's team sooner , which helps her academic progress . It's good for both Luna and our family ." Bramwell advised Luna , " Don't worry . I'll make sure all your contacts at Jindiwood are ready in advance . " Luna brightened . " Thanks , Daddy . Mommy , don't be sad . Jindiwood is only a two - or three- hour flight from Seabar . Whenever you miss me , I'll come back ." " Luna , flying back while you're so busy ? That's exhausting . " Evelyn held her daughter's hand . " I'm not busy . If I miss you , I'll fly over and stay with you . " " Mommy , you're so good to me . " " Sweetheart , you're my only darling , of course , I'll treat you well . " Owen grumbled from the side , " Mom , you're satisfied with your daughter , leaving your son completely ignored ." He glanced at Grant , who said nothing . " Besides , Grant's going to Jindiwood for a new project . With him there , Luna doesn't need you . You'd only get in the way of their sweet time together . " " Owen , stop joking ! " Luna said shyly , lightly punching him . 2/3 8:30 Fri , Oct 10 Chapter 32 The Reach 199 Finished . " Grant's work in Jindiwood is important . Aurora is already established in Seabar . If it secures higher - level partnerships or gains the favor of influential people in Jindiwood , its potential is unlimited ." Bramwell's interest was piqued . " I heard the youngest and most talented AI chip engineer in the country is at Jindiwood , Mr. Caldwell , right ? " " Yes . Mr. Caldwell is Grant's role model and dream . I heard he's now a national - level highly confidential personnel , " Luna said . " No matter what , with Grant accompanying Luna , we don't need to worry , " Evelyn said , unconcerned with the talent mentioned . She only cared whether Luna could eat well and be taken care of . Grant nodded politely . " Mrs. Sterling , don't worry . I'll take good care of Luna . " " That's good , " Evelyn replied . Owen suddenly added , " You're going to Jindiwood . She's not going to follow and cause trouble , is she ? " The cheerful atmosphere at the table froze . Although Owen didn't mention a name , everyone knew exactly who he meant . Bramwell frowned . " She hasn't even been accepted to graduate school . She has no reason to go to Jindiwood ." Grant pursed his lips and said simply , " School still has classes . She won't go for now . " " She's already a senior . She just needs to graduate quietly , find a job , and live her life . Best not to cause any trouble . " Bramwell's face hardened . " I heard you had her attend a signing ceremony yesterday , but she walked out halfway , ungrateful ? Does she still think she is a Sterling heiress and can throw tantrums whenever she wants ? You better not let her into Aurora , or she'll stir up trouble and drag you down . " Send Gifts 。 20 3/3 8:30 Fri , Oct 10 My Reborn Admirer Wins Over My Heart
