Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 193

Yvette was stumped for words, whereas Mr. Harris looked exceedingly sullen. "Yvette, don’t speak without proof."

"What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable because I was criticizing her daughter?" Yvette smiled lightly.

"Idiot!" Master Harris chastised. It was unclear who he was referring to. "You really think I don’t know anything about that car accident?"

"Sophia can't even handle something as simple as that and has Leah leading her around by the nose like that. Do you think she will be of any help to the Harris family if Charles married her? We should be thankful if Leah doesn’t end up plotting a scheme against them instead!"

"Leah may have a scheming mind, but her feelings for Charles are real. Her marrying into the Harris family will not only be beneficial for the cooperation between the two companies, but she will also be a tremendous help to Charles in his day to day affairs—so much more benefits compared to if Sophia was to marry into the Harris family!”

Yvette frowned almost imperceptibly and said no more.

Sensibly speaking, marrying Leah would be more beneficial to Charles' future development.

"You don’t have to worry too much about this. Who doesn’t have a crush or two at their young age?" Mr. Harris said, "I will make sure to persuade Charles when I see him. If he really likes Sophia, he can just take her as his lover."

Yvette’s expression turned terribly sullen when she heard what he said, though she chose to remain silent in the end.

"He's a young man in his twenties, so we can turn a blind eye to his muddle-headedness, but you as parents better not be like him and get muddleheaded yourselves!" Master Harris said pointedly, staring at Yvette.

Yvette tugged at her lips forcibly. There seemed to be something stuck in her throat as she could not utter a single word.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will watch Charles and make sure that he doesn’t do anything foolish," Mr. Harris said flatly.

Master Harris snorted, somewhat satisfied with the couple’s attitude.

Suddenly, there was a series of knocks on the door.

Mr. Harris went to open the door after obtaining Master Harris' consent. Charles was standing outside the door.

"Go out, you two." After saying that to Mr. Harris and Yvette, Master Harris turned to look at the old lady sitting on one side. "You too, Jacinda. I’d like to speak to Charles alone."

Mr. Harris and Yvette agreed without the slightest hesitation and left. The old lady followed behind them. When she walked past Charles, she seemed like she was trying to say something but eventually sighed without saying anything and went out and closed the door.

"Grandpa," Charles called out, standing in front of the hospital bed.

Master Harris snorted with a sullen look on his face. "Why are you keeping Sophia by your side? Are you trying to break your marriage contract with the Jones family?"

Charles lowered his head and remained silent.

Crash!

Master Harris grabbed the mug from the table next to him and hurled it straight at him. The mug struck the corner of his eye first before falling to the ground with a clang, smashing into pieces.

"Speak!" Master Harris roared, glaring at him.

The impact made the corner of Charles' eyes slightly red, but there were no changes in his countenance. "Many of my same-age cousins ​​aren’t married yet. If you’re eager to form a marriage alliance with the Jones family, then you can always swap me for someone else, Grandpa. It doesn't have to be me."

"Is this how you should talk to your elders?" Master Harris asked, pointing at him.

Charles' Adam's apple rolled slightly. "I'm sorry."

"On your knees!" Master Harris climbed out of the hospital bed and stood in front of him. His imposing aura did not diminish even the slightest even when he was already in his old age.

Charles pursed his lips, bowed his head, and knelt on the ground.
