Jordan sat on the head seat of the large dining table. Connor took a seat to his right after Mr. Parkinson sat to Jordan's left followed by Susan and Charlotte.

Connor who heard Charlotte ask about Aarvi was about to respond, Jordan cued them to start the dinner and answered her, "Aarvi is Aaron's girlfriend."

Susan and her husband, softy smiled hearing it whereas Charlotte who was serving herself the chicken starters paused but nobody caught the changes.

Jordan asked looking at Elder Rivas, "Benson, don't you follow the business news?" He asked because almost all the businessmen were already aware Aaron wasn't single anymore.

Benson Parkinson looked up before shaking his head, "Nope, Elder Rivas. I have no plans to expand my business so I don't bother about all that." He prefers a peaceful retirement life so he didn't want to enter the dirty business world.

Jordan paused for a few seconds before continuing why he asked that, "Today, Karsen and Megan announced Aarvi as the daughter-in-law of Rivas family."

Connor's hand paused in the air due to two reasons. One, Jordan wasn't throwing a tantrum due to the open announcement, which means Jordan accepted Aarvi.

Two, "Did Karsen really announce about Aarvi?" Connor asked in a hint of dilemma.

As far as he knows about Aarvi aka Ava Kelly, she would let Jordan know about her identity before revealing it to the world.

If she accepted Aaron as her family, she would keep them ahead and he also knows she will only reveal her identity to Jordan if he accepts her wholeheartedly.

Charlotte, who caught the confusion in Connor's voice, had her own assumption. She uttered in complete nonchalance before Jordan could respond to Connor.

"Uncle Rivas, grandfather..." She rested her forearms on the table as she continued in her matter-of-fact tone, "People change boyfriends and girlfriends as fast as they change their clothes."

She noticed the changes in Connor and Jordan but she couldn't guess why they actually disliked her words.

Nonetheless, she kept her point of view clean and clear, "Isn't it too hurried to announce a girlfriend as a daughter-in-law of the Rivas family when those many media have their eyes on you all?"

Connor and Jordan wanted to tell her she had totally the wrong idea. They agree there are people who date and change girlfriends, they are called playboys. Some change their girlfriends due to incompatibility until they could find the love of their life. Similarly, there are numerous people who fall in love and get married.

Anyway, they didn't bother wasting their breath on her. Connor responded with the same politeness as his. One couldn't say what his actual emotion was while speaking.

"Rest assured, Aaron and Aarvi are made for each other. I was worried our eagerness wouldn't stress out Aarvi." Connor flashed a faint smile and cued her to eat seeing her hands still hadn't held the spoon.

Susan served her daughter a little more as she asked in curiosity, "What about the little girl Aaron used to adore so much?" She tried to remember something before adding, "I forgot her name."

Charlotte was too young at that time to remember so her hand again froze without knowing the old, experienced eyes were glued on her right after she gave her opinion.

Jordan's lips arced up handsomely and Connor knew something was cooking up in his head before they heard a proud response, "He calls her Cupcake. Aarvi is Aaron's Cupcake."

Connor: "..."

He couldn't believe his father was showing off. He knows Charlotte's opinion wasn't to look down on Aaron but the reality of the current world.

'Why is he so petty against the young lady?' Connor let out a faint sigh.

Susan was amused hearing it, she couldn't believe the young boy who chose the young schoolgirl didn't leave her even after so many years staying in country S.

"Why aren't they married yet? As far as I remember, the Chief was so quick to propose and get married." Her voice was laced with excitement.

This time too the corner of Jordan's eyes was on Charlotte who cleanly masked her reaction and ate as though none exists around her.

Benson knew well what happened with Cupcake of Aaron aka Ava Kelly but he chose to stay mute and behaved dumb thinking if Ava Kelly got the memories back and reunited with Aaron.

Connor faintly smiled but didn't respond to Susan who was excited thinking about her best friend's son.

Jordan ignored Benson's gaze and sighed visibly, "If I hadn't forced Aaron to study in the country S, that brat would have married her right after she crossed twenty and made me a great grandfather after a year."

Susan laughed with Jordan thinking he still loves children whereas Connor gazed at his father with an astounding expression that was saying, 'Dad, you do know that. Amazing.'

All the while, Charlotte showed a blind eye while having her dinner. Jordan felt like the food might be hard for Charlotte to swallow seeing her drink water repeatedly.

Jordan didn't want Charlotte to turn like Fiona or Naomi and trouble his grandson and Aarvi.

After dinner, the five sat in the backyard of the mansion next to the pool enjoying the sky full of stars and fresh air.

Charlotte opened her lips after a long time, "Grandfather Rivas, what is Aaron's girlfriend doing? Is she a doctor too?"

Connor looked away from his father's gaze to let him answer. Jordan simply stated, "She loves my grandson. Does anything else matter for a happy life??" He shrugged.

Charlotte: "..."

Connor smiled. This is the real Jordan Rivas who never lets anybody look down on the family even if they do nothing but laze around.

Susan and Benson let out a chuckle seeing Charlotte rendered speechless by Jordan's response.

Susan patted her arm saying, "In Rivas family, the requirement to be part of the family is love."

Charlotte awkwardly smiled at it.

After entertaining the guest, both bid them and Connor watched his father smugly enter the mansion.

Jordan was about to turn on the news to keep himself updated about the banquet when he caught the eyes of Connor. "What are you looking at, brat?"

Connor chuckled, unlike the mask of politeness, it was real and hearty, "Dad, you will be proud of your granddaughter-in-law more if you know about her well."

Jordan was back to his tsundere mode and shrugged, "Don't start bragging now." He waved his hand to send Connor away, "Go, go and rest."

Connor shook his head in resignation and went upstairs thinking about his mother. He decided to talk to Aaron and Aarvi to bring his mother back as she wasn't ready to listen to any of them.

Also, he mentally prepared himself to be shoved with lots of dog food once his mother returns. His father is the president of the henpecked husbands' community.

----

At Skyarc penthouse,

Aarvi and Aaron entered inside their penthouse holding a letter that they got at the door.

Looking at the baby pink envelope sealed with a little heart in red, Aarvi squinted her eyes at Aaron, "You have a teenager admirer?" She asked purposefully, sounding suspicious of him.

Her eyes unhurriedly traced him from top to toe and toe to top.

Aaron couldn't help but comment, "Are you trying to undress me with your eyes?" That was an intense gaze.

Aarvi's lips twitched and her gaze landed on his eyes, "Don't you think you are too old for a teenager girl?"

Aaron: "..."
