Chapter 804 Eloise Panicked Finnley knocked on the door. "Excuse me, Grandpa." He pushed the door open with a smile. "Happy birthday." Then his gaze fell on the other old man, and Finnley greeted him politely, "Happy birthday, mister." Seeing him, the two old men stood up.
Finnley was grateful and respectful to Archie as he heard Archie used to take care of Benedict during battles.
Although they discussed his marriage, he didn't feel as sickened as thinking about the Calder family.

You are taller.” He hurriedly pulled Archie's hand and introduced Finnley, "Archie, this is my grandson, Finnley Russell. Look. Isn't he outstanding? Does he fit your granddaughter?” Finnley had handsome brows, intense eyes, and a straight nose bridge. He wore a handcrafted British shirt. Standing in front of them, he humbly let the two old men look at him up and down.
Archie liked Finnley with a single glimpse. With a loving smile, he nodded to echo, "You are right, Benedict. He's outstanding. | like him. It'll be wonderful if we can become in-laws." Eloise couldn't stand it any longer. Without greeting the elders, she turned away angrily and didn't care how Finnley would respond.
"Mr. Powell," Finnley said politely and gently, "I have a girlfriend now. Thank you, though." "What?" Archie was taken aback. His gaze swept between Finnley and Benedict. "Didn't you tell me Finnley was single and available?" He was disappointed.
Benedict hurriedly explained, "He is." Then he strode up to Finnley, pulled his hand, and blamed him, "I know it's an excuse for you to reject the Calders. Why are you lying to me?" "Grandpa, I..." "I've been there." Benedict frowned. "If you had a girlfriend, why didn't you bring her here today? It's an important occasion.” "| planned to take her here..." "Forget about it. Another excuse. | didn't see anyone with you." Benedict patted the back of his hand. With a bright smile, he added, "Archie's granddaughter will come over later. You must be polite to her. I'll let you receive her." "Grandpa!" Finnley didn't have the mood to do so.
"You can't say no." Benedict pretended to be unhappy and glared at him. "I haven't seen you for years. Can't you even do me such a small favor? I'll get angry, Finnley." Finnley had to stop refusing, afraid to annoy his grandfather.
Archie didn't tear his appreciated gaze off him at all. The longer he looked at Finnley, the brighter his smile became.
He liked both the grandfather and the grandson.
Finnley felt extremely awkward.

He wanted to bring Finnley together with Mr. Powell's granddaughter. They were talking about Finnley's marriage." Pierre was startled. "Really?" "Of course! | overheard it personally.” Eloise stamped in anger. "What should | do, Dad?" "What did Finnley respond?" asked her father.
Pouting in a grievance, Eloise said, "I didn't continue listening, so | didn't know." "He'll definitely reject them." Pierre patted her shoulder gently and consoled her, "Eloise, you are such an outstanding girl, but Finnley is picky. How could he fall in love with a girl who he hasn't met in person yet?" "Dad..." Eloise was worried. "Would his grandfather force him?" "It wouldn't work. He'll be the one who decides his own marriage. The elders won't be able to interfere.” However, Eloise always thought her fiance would be stolen.
She felt frustrated as every woman wanted to take Finnley away from her. She found it too dangerous.
Meanwhile, in a black SUV heading for Russell's Villa, Clarence was driving.
Sitting in the backseat, Shirley held Mya's hand while telling her the stories of her grandfather fighting in battles...
They would arrive at Russell's Villa in Jacksonville in about five minutes.
