"Grandma."
Timothy Jennings spoke hoarsely.
Grandma Jennings glanced at the content on the TV and sighed heavily.
Timothy Jennings clenched his fist. "Why is it still like this... We clearly..."
Grandma Jennings waved her hand. "Timothy, this is a fateful entanglement..."
"We can prevent it for a while, but not forever."
"This is the debt of the Jennings family, the fate of the Jennings family."
Timothy Jennings gritted his teeth, unwilling. "But this! Why does my cousin have to bear it!"
Grandma Jennings didn't answer him immediately but instead gazed into the distance at the TV.
After a moment, she finally replied softly, "Because... she is the chosen bride..."
"Timothy, go, go find Selie."
Ten years ago, the Jennings family moved away from Oakhaven to a small fishing village near the city.
They rooted themselves there, seeking seclusion from the world.
They thought by doing so they could escape the debt, but never imagined...
What is meant to come will always come.
