The Bound Between Us

Chapter 336

Herman didn’t argue with Granny Anita, instead he said in a deep voice, “Flynn, you stay with Granny for a bit. Jarod from the WOW Corporation is here. I’ll go and greet him.”

Flynn grinned, “You go do your thing. I got Granny.”

Herman found an excuse to leave, and Flynn cheerfully coaxed Granny Anita, “Granny, are you hungry? I can grab you some cookies.”

Granny Anita looked displeased, “The doctor said I can’t have sweets, and I’m not hungry. You go do your thing. You don’t need to stay with me. I’ve just arrived and Herman is already making excuses to leave me. Now that I’m old, nobody listens to me anymore. You don’t need to stick around.”

“Granny, are you being a little stubborn again?” Flynn held Granny Anita’s arm, “Today is the company’s anniversary, Herman is really busy. How about I just call Dad over to keep you company?”

Flynn dared not call Katelyn over. The relationship between Granny Anita and Katelyn was a well- known issue within the Salstrom family. To be precise, it was Granny Anita who didn’t like her daughter- in-law. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

When Katelyn gave birth to Herman, they had a falling-out during the postpartum period. This escalated the conflict and Katelyn almost divorced Feiman.

Granny Anita didn’t like Katelyn, but she adored her two grandsons from the bottom of her heart. It was why Herman and Flynn both respected Granny Anita so much.

“I don’t want to see your Dad. He just annoys me.” Granny Anita said, “Why do you think I’ve been living out in the countryside these years? It’s because I didn’t want to see your Dad.”

The truth was, Granny Anita didn’t want to see Katelyn, not Feiman. Her health had been declining in recent years, so she decided to retire to the countryside with her maid. Flynn understood this very well.

“Granny, then I’ll just keep you company.” Flynn complimented, “Granny, it’s been a while since I saw you last time, and you’re looking more beautiful than ever.”

Granny Anita, pleased by the flattery, laughed and playfully smacked Flynn’s hand, “You sweet talker, you’re the only one who knows how to make me happy. If you could find me a nice granddaughter-in- law, I would be even happier.”

Flynn joked, “I’ll find you a bunch of great granddaughters-in-law in the future. All of them will take care of you.”

“You’re thinking of marrying a bunch, you cheeky boy.” Granny Anita laughed heartily, then glanced at the girls at the party, “There are quite a few nice girls here tonight. Flynn, help Herman pick one.”

Flynn scratched his head, “Granny, Herman is already married, what’s there to pick? You’re getting confused again, didn’t I just tell you? My sister-in-law is in the lounge, and you’ll see her in

a bit.”

Granny Anita glared at Flynn, “Marriage is serious business, it involves formal proposals and wedding ceremonies. Your brother’s marriage doesn’t count. In the old days, it would be called

a concubine.”

In short, Granny Anita didn’t approve.

Flynn laughed, “Granny, times have changed. Once you’re legally married, that’s it. Herman and my sister-in-law have their marriage license.”

“I said it doesn’t count, so it doesn’t.” Granny Anita’s face darkened instantly, Entering the Salstrom family is a big thing. Without my approval, it doesn’t count.”

Flynn sighed; he knew how stubborn Granny Anita could be. Otherwise, she wouldn’t still be at odds with Katelyn after more than twenty years. He just realized that Granny Anita wasn’t confused earlier. She was pretending to be. “Granny, you’re going to have a hard time persuading Herman this time.” Flynn said, “Granny, my sister-in-law is actually quite nice.”

“You go do your thing. I don’t need your company anymore.” Granny Anita was unhappy and waved Flynn away.

Flynn couldn’t please Granny Anita, so he went to attend to the guests. The moment Flynn walked away, Julie approached, “Granny, do you remember me? I’m Julie.” Granny Anita took a good look, then she remembered, “You’re Devin’s daughter? Julie?”

“Yes, Granny, I’m glad you remember me.” Julie grinned and sat down next to Granny Anita, “Granny, your memory is still so sharp. You’re still so young at heart.” Granny Anita examined Julie carefully, then glanced at Julie’s bottom, a satisfied look in her eyes, “Nice hips, good for childbirth. Julie, do you have a boyfriend?”
