was making her nervous. But she kept her coul and didn’t show any fear. Seeing that Blake stayed
silent, she suggested they sit down, “Grandpa Blake, why dont we sit down and have a chat?”

words and then I leave,”

something you’d like to tell me?”

respect

will definitely marry you, so dont try to fob me off with him. Let’s be straightforward with each other”
Eleanor noted his tone getting serious and her heart raced, ‘
Before she could respond, the old man cut her off, I won’t beat around the bush. As an elder, I just
have a few questions for you.”
