Ch. 4961: Married At First Sight Chapter 4961
Chapter 4961
Aitana knew all about it. She had never accepted Joaquinâs feelings, and once she learned he had shady ties with nurses at his clinic, there was no way she could ever choose him.
âDr. Legare has already lost,â Alex said calmly. âUnless he stoops to something as low as forcing herâwhich he wonâtâheâll never win her. Aitana is mine. And if he ever dares disrespect her, I wonât let him off easily.â
In Alexâs eyes, Joaquin was rational enough not to ruin his future over love. Still, Alex kept watch. If Joaquin crossed the line even once, he would appear instantly to protect her.
Hearing her grandsonâs confidence, the old lady finally relaxed. âGood. My granddaughter-in-law wonât be snatched away.â
Alex gave her a helpless look. âGrandma, do you really not trust your grandson that much? How could someone take away the woman Iâve chosen? This is my lifelong happiness weâre talking about.â
York men were loyal to the coreâonce they loved, they loved for life. No matter how difficult the pursuit, they never backed down. And if they failed? They would rather stay single forever than love someone else.
Alex continued, his voice steady. âDr. Legare is smart. He wonât do anything foolish. Heâs torn, thatâs all. Heâs loved her for yearsâletting go isnât easy. Heâs trying to give it one last shot, but deep down, he knows the truth. If he were confident, he wouldnât have come to talk to me.â
Rivals who initiated conversations were the ones doubting themselvesâthat was a battlefield truth.
The old lady chuckled proudly. âWell, when faced with a rival like my grandson, itâs no wonder heâs shaken. Alright, Grandma wonât worry anymore. Iâm going to bed. And donât you dare wake up at dawn just to cook breakfast for me. Iâll eat at your big brotherâs house.â
Alex blinked. âSo my sister-in-lawâs cooking tomorrow?â
Grandma huffed. âOf course not! With your brother there, Seren doesnât need to lift a finger. Grandma just doesnât want you exhausting yourself.â
With so many men in the York family, having a granddaughter-in-law felt like striking gold. She treasured them like precious daughters; how could she let them toil?
Alex suddenly remembered. âWaitâGrandma, arenât you going for a checkup tomorrow? Youâll need to fast. Iâll prepare breakfast and keep it warm in the car. You can eat right after the tests.â
The old lady smacked her forehead and laughed. âThatâs right! Look at meâgetting forgetful.â
Alex softened. âFor your age, your memory is still amazing. Better than most.â
She waved him off. âThen itâs settled. And tell Seren tomorrow that I wonât head home in the morning. Ask your brother to take Belle to the company or stay home with her for half a day.â
In her mind, taking time off to care for a child was a grandsonâs job, not a granddaughter-in-lawâs. Daughters-in-law were career womenâthey shouldnât be held back.
Let the grandsons learn childcare. Only then would they understand how exhausting it really wasâand appreciate their wives more.
After all, raising a child was far more tiring than anyone who hadnât done it could ever imagine.
