Seeing Terence silent again, Mrs. Lockwood was fuming.
How could this quiet blockhead be her son?
She needed to give him a good lesson.
"Terence, it must be because you're not doing enough for her. You need to understand what she truly wants. What can you do to earn her approval?
"Look at everything she's done—she's already won over our two children. But you've made no progress at all. You need to show some sincerity, some charm, you understand?"
Lucas said, "Grandma, Dad... Dad already left."
Shocking!
Mrs. Lockwood was at a loss for words. To think she was giving an impassioned lecture, and her son just walked out on her. The disrespect was astounding.
That boy! She wished his father could rise from his coffin and teach him a lesson!
Sensing their grandmother's anger, Lucas and Liana quickly chimed in, "Grandma, we think what you said makes perfect sense. We'll come up with a detailed plan to help Dad. After all, when it comes to romance, he's a complete blank slate."
[Liana thinks Grandma is totally right! Grandma is the best!]
Now *that* was emotional support.
"My grandchildren are the clever ones. How did someone with my bright and cheerful personality give birth to such a block of wood? Thank goodness for generational skipping. My grandchildren are so clever and lively. Otherwise, my excellent genes would have been a total waste."
