Tassach said angrily, "You're unbelievable."
"Yes, I am, and I am doing this for you, for us! I've never loved a man so much before. You're the only
one I love and you should be responsible for our relationships."
Tassach laughed and looked at the crazy woman. He pointed at the door and said, "Get out! I'll talk my
parents out of the engagement. Nobody can force me into that marriage if I don't want to."
Gracie stared at him for quite a while without saying anything. Then she turned back and walked out of
the room.
In the evening, Tassach received a call from Mrs. Conduibh, asking him to take Gracie home. He knew
this was a request that could not be refused, so he took Gracie back home.
Gracie's parents were also there. Gracie greeted all of them sweetly as she walked in. Then she sat
obediently next to her parents.
She always behaved very well before the elders. She was the good girl and nice daughter in those
people's eyes. Even her voice would become softer when she talked with them.
Tassach had never seen any woman that could be better at acting than her. She was a different person
when she was at home.
She could've made a great actress, given that she's so talented.
Mrs. Conduibh was very satisfied with Gracie. She smiled and asked, "Gracie, how's your work?"
Gracie replied sweetly, "Very well... My colleagues were so easy to get along with. They were very
caring. I am so happy that I can work there."
Mrs. Conduibh was even more satisfied, "Tassach, you should take care of her more, you know what I
mean."
Tassach nodded.
He decided to bring out the bomb while everyone was happy. So he said, "Mom, I already have
someone I like. I'll bring her back home a few days later."
As soon as he said that, everybody was stunned.
"What's going on?" Mrs. King's face changed, "You have to give me an explanation... The marriage is
your initiation, and that was why we are now back here with our daughter."
Mrs. Conduibh tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, Tassach is just joking." After that, she glared at
Tassach and said, "Tassach, tell her it's just a joke."
Tassach said very seriously, "Mom, it's true. I do have a woman I like. I'll bring her back someday. You
said there was an initiation for our marriage, why am I not aware?"
Mrs. Conduibh's face suddenly turned very sullen.
"Son, I'd be very unhappy if you have to say so. I've made a great effort to persuade Gracie and her
family to come back from abroad. We've done everything we could to get you two matched, but now
you made this so awkward. I'd rather die than see this."
Tassach glanced at Mrs. Conduibh and said, "Mom, I'm almost 30. I know what and who I need for
myself. You can set blind dates for me, but you can't get me engaged without my consent. Can you
have the least respect for me? I'm your son!"
Mrs. Conduibh said, "You ungrateful brat! How dare you criticize your mother? I don't care if you like
Gracie or not. I like her! She has to be my daughter-in-law! Stop calling me Mom if you don't marry
her!"
Tassach face changed again. He stood up and said, "Mom, you're just being angry and irrational. I'll go
upstairs to talk to Grandpa. I'll talk to you later."
Tassach was about to go upstairs after he said that, only to be stopped by Mrs. Conduibh.
"Tassach, sit down!" Mrs. Conduibh seldom sounded so serious.
Tassach had no choice but to sit down.
"Tassach, since you've known everything, then I don't need to hide anything now. We did have initiated
a marriage of benefit with Gracie's family. Can't you see her background and appearance? What about
her education? She has even humbled herself and worked in your company! Her family has the same
power and positions as ours. You and she are a perfect match. Why are you so unsatisfied?"
Tassach glanced at Mrs. Conduibh and said, "Mom, I knew she's a nice girl. She'll have enough
pursuers. I don't want to join this fun."
Mrs. King said angrily, "Tassach, I thought you were a sweet understanding boy before. What has got
into you today? Are you treating my daughter as some grocery store items and trying to sell her to
other people just because you don't want her? I tell you what... She's quite a catch abroad, and I
wouldn't have brought her back without your marriage initiation."
Tassach stood up and bent over towards Mrs. King. Then he said seriously, "Ma'am, I'm so sorry. My
mom negotiated it with you without my consent. I'm sorry for any inconvenience it causes and I'll pay
for your loss. I am so sorry, but I can't get engaged with your daughter. I had no feelings for her. I can't
be with a woman I don't love for the rest of my life, no matter how excellent she is."
Gracie's parents were disappointed and furious.
"Tassach, do you know what you're doing?" Mrs. King asked.
Tassach bent to her again and answered, "Yes, I'm sorry, but I really can't marry Gracie. I've met the
woman I love, and she'll be my only one."
“Tassach, do you know what you're doing?" Mrs. King asked.
Tassach bent to her again and answered, "Yes, I'm sorry, but | really can't marry Gracie. I've met the
woman | love, and she'll be my only one."
