Chapter 908
At the Sylvester estate.
Alaina came running down the stairs, phone in hand.
“Mom, it’s the most wonderful news! The most wonderful news p>
Beatrice immediately stood up from the sofa. “What is it? Did Caitlin accept our Sweetie’s proposal p>
Was she finally going to have a grandson?
Beatrice grew more excited with each passing thought.
“Not quite,” Alaina said, shaking her head.
The light in Beatrice’s eyes dimmed. “Well, if it’s not that, how wonderful can it be?” she muttered.
It was so frustrating.
Alaina continued, “Our Sweetie made it official p>
Beatrice’s eyes widened.
Alaina handed her the phone. “Look, this is the tweet our Sweetie just posted. He made it official! Do you know what that means? It means he and Catie are really together p>
Terrified of hearing something she didn’t want to hear, Beatrice hadn’t dared to call Gordon to confirm the rumors herself.
But now.
Gordon had admitted it!
Beatrice finally let out the breath she’d been holding, clasping her hands together. “Thank heavens! Oh, thank heavens p>
Alaina looked at Beatrice, her eyes twinkling. “Mom, do you remember what you said last time p>
“What?” Beatrice asked.
Alaina reminded her, “You said that if Caitlin really did get together with our Sweetie, you’d be so happy you’d be willing to eat dirt p>
Eat dirt?
Hearing that.
The room fell silent for a few seconds.
*Tap, tap, tap p>
Footsteps sounded.
Then, the butler’s respectful voice echoed through the hall. “Master Skyler, welcome p>
Beatrice’s face lit up with relief as she pointed a finger at Skyler. “Let him eat it! You remember what your son said, don’t you? He said if his uncle and Cartin ever got together, he’d eat it for me p>
Skyler, who had just walked in the door, was speechless.
This was really not his day.
He knew he shouldn’t have tempted fate!
First, Ike had called him out.
Now, his own grandmother was doing the same.
Oh, the misery!
His life was so hard.
Alaina nodded, turning to Skyler. “That’s right, Skyler! I remember you saying that p>
“I was just joking! Just a joke!” Skyler said with a nervous laugh.
He quickly changed the subject. “Mom, Grandma, you have to admit, my uncle is incredible. Quietly winning over Boss Caitlin like that! The woman has suitors lining up around the globe, and he did it! He’s a true hero, brave and cunning! We should definitely celebrate tonight, right p>
Beatrice nodded along. “We certainly should celebrate! The boy has really impressed me this time p>
The idea of Gordon and Caitlin dating was something Beatrice had only dared to dream about.
But now!
Her dream had come true.
Alaina turned to Skyler. “Now that
even your uncle has found someone, what about you? When are your`
ng to bring a girlfriend home for
your grandmother and me to meet p>
Beatrice also turned her gaze to Skyler. “Your mother’s right. If your uncle can find
someone, you certainly can. You need to put in some effort p>
