Grandma Clarkson had a soft spot for her iced lattes, a detail smight mistake as a sign of a gentle,
easygoing old lady. But, alas, she was anything but.
Her fondness for iced lattes was merely a quirk, one that never swayed her judgment or decisions.
Grandpa Clarkson was cut from the scloth.
The entire Clarkson clan, including him, prized cool-headedness above all else.
Before he met Christine, he had indeed played the part of a proper Clarkson, following the family's expectations
to a tee.
But knowing what he truly wanted had led him to choose Christine.
Otherwise, when Christine had pulled away, he could have easily let her beca stranger to him.
"What if | just cut ties with the Clarksons, then?" he suggested, not entirely serious.

Norman slammed his hand on the table, incredulous. "You must be out of your mind, spouting such childish
nonsense!"
"All our efforts to raise you, and it's like you've just flushed it down with dinner!"
"Thinking of severing ties with the Clarksons, have you considered you won't even be able to protect that girl?
She got targeted the moment she got involved with you, and you think you haven't learned your lesson?!"
Madge intervened, "Norman, have stea, cool down."
She then turned to Dailey, "I appreciate the iced latte, dear, but let's be realistic. You have your influence
because you carry the Clarkson name."
"Even if you believe you can stand on your own, leaving the Clarkson nbehind, we won't let that happen.
You're the last of the Clarksons. We didn't raise you to turn against us, but to carry on the Clarkson legacy."
Dailey had never before considered breaking away from the Clarksons.
He knew his duty to carry on the Clarkson nand was well aware of the advantages it brought him.
But now...
If the family continued to oppose him this way, he needed to find his own way to resist.
"Are we done here? | have things to do."
He gestured dismissively and turned to leave.
Primo stepped forward, pulling Nelly with him.
"Dailey!"
Jayne was frantic, "If a romance leads you to betray your own, isn't our opposition justified?"
"And today, if you don't explain why you're sending Nelly away, | won't allow you to send her abroad." Jayne also
called her people into the living room, which suddenly felt cramped with the crowd.
Dailey stood among them, an air of detachment about him. He adjusted his cuffs, his voice cool, "Mom, if you
had protected her like this before, she wouldn't have been nearly hurt abroad." en
Jayne's face turned pale.

Dailey continued as if he hadn't noticed, "You're just her godmother, not her real mother. Don't act like it."
"Even if you're good to her now, she still resents you."
Dailey had ripped off the proverbial band-aid, exposing the raw truth.
The living room fell into an awkward silence.
Then Nelly spoke, "Godmom, please don't argue with Dai over me. It's my fault for upsetting him. | didn't want to
keep making Dai dislike me, so | chose to go abroad on my own. It wasn't Dai forcing me."
Jayne had heard Nelly's roundabout
explanations several times but never got to the heart of the matter, leading her to speculate and doubt.
After all, during their teenage years, she and Dailey had felt a certain spark.
Though Dailey claimed to be indifferent to Nelly, from their perspective, it was merely a tactic to keep Nelly
close.
Such constant companionship, how could there not be any feelings involved?
