Lucille looked embarrassed and laughed awkwardly. “Whenever I had troubles before, I could always get guidance from her, so I wanted to ask for her advice this time as well.”
Henson replied indifferently, “are you gonna ask my grandma’s opinion when you get married?”
Lucille’s face turned red, and she glanced at Jonathan, hinting, “Of course!”
