Rural Belle & Three Heirs

The two brothers, Michael and Liam, were completely thrown off by what Louis was

getting at.

Louis, on the other hand, didn't think too highly of his two rather underwhelming grandsons.

He kept reminding Grant, "Grant, Chloe's a great girl. She's got a good heart, comes from a respectable family, and she's beautiful. You better treat her right. Our family, the Martins, marrying into the Davis family is a big deal for us, got it?"

Louis's words made Grant nod automatically.

But standing nearby, Michael and Liam weren't exactly on the same page as Louis.

If Chloe's good family background and kind heart were qualities they could all agree on, when Louis described Chloe as beautiful, they had different opinions.

To them, Louis's praise for Chloe seemed somewhat exaggerated. They felt that Louis's perspective might have changed with age, and he might not be able to accurately capture the current youth's standards of beauty.

Alternatively, there might be a generation gap between Louis and the younger ones when it comes to the perception of "beauty." In their eyes, Chloe might not fit their idea of what is attractive. Different times bring different aesthetics, and that's a normal

thing.

After chatting with his three grandsons for a bit, the servant who took care of Louis

came over.

He whispered in Louis's ear, "Mr. Martin, dinner's ready. We can start." "Alright, let's eat." Louis said.

With Louis's command, everyone took their seats. Not long after, a stylishly dressed young woman in a chic short dress walked into the dining room.

The girl appeared with her long hair cascading down, her skin as delicate as snow, exuding an aura of elegance and freshness. She wore a gentle smile that felt like a breath of spring, captivating everyone present.

Without any makeup, her natural beauty effortlessly drew the attention of everyone around.

In that moment, Michael and Liam's eyes were irresistibly drawn to her.

They felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this girl, but her face was unfamiliar, leaving them unable to recall where they might have seen her before.

They exchanged puzzled looks, each feeling confused. It seemed like she had a connection to their past memories, yet it remained vague. Regardless of whether she was someone they had known, her beauty and poise at this moment had left a lasting impression in their hearts.

Compared to Liam and Michael's confusion, Grant stayed calm. He sat in his seat, watching the young woman glide over to Louis like a butterfly.

The next second, a familiar voice came from the young woman's mouth. "Louis, long time no see. I've missed you."

As soon as she spoke, Liam and Michael's minds were blown, leaving them stunned. They recognized the voice-it was Chloe's. Could this beautiful woman really be Chloe?

In their minds, Chloe was a girl with freckles and moles on her face. How could she be this stunning?noveldrama

"Chloe, it's been a long time. I've missed you too. Come, give me a hug." Louis extended his arms and gave Chloe a warm hug.

Seeing this, the usually hot-headed Liam shot up from his seat.

He shouted in Chloe's direction, "Are you Chloe?"

Hearing Liam's voice, Chloe turned around. "Yes, I'm Chloe. Liam, don't you recognize me?"

With Chloe confirming her identity, Michael was equally shocked.

He, like Liam, stood up abruptly. "But what about the freckles and moles on your face?" Michael was too curious.

Before Chloe could answer, the ever-observant Liam figured it out. He muttered, "The freckles and moles on your face were fake, weren't they?"

Having spent nearly six months with Chloe, Liam had noticed something off about her freckles more than once. But whenever he had doubts, the issue seemed to be brushed aside.

Now, he finally understood. Chloe had used this tactic to make herself look unattractive and keep people at a distance.

It was a clever move, he had to admit.

Chloe smiled at Liam and said, "Of course it was fake, Liam. Your eyesight must be failing if you couldn't tell the difference."

Chloe's words were a huge blow to Liam and Michael. They never imagined that the girl they often called ugly could be so beautiful.

They felt a pang of regret.

To declare Chloe as his, Grant took her hand in front of everyone and made a formal announcement.

"Michael, Liam, I am officially announcing that Chloe and I are dating," he proclaimed loudly, his tone filled with unmistakable pride.

"From this moment on, the union between the Davis family and the Martin family has nothing to do with either of you," Grant continued, his gaze firm as he looked at both of them to ensure they understood his point. "From now on, you two can freely pursue any woman you desire."

Grant was openly warning Michael and Liam that they should no longer have any thoughts about Chloe. His actions and words clearly demonstrated his unwavering feelings for Chloe and set firm boundaries to ward off any potential rivals. Michael and Liam felt as if they had swallowed a fly. Were they really out of the running?

Chloe was not pleased with Grant's unilateral declaration of their relationship.

She protested, "Grant, what are you talking about? We're not dating."

Seeing Chloe's attempt to deny it, Grant was displeased.

He leaned in close to Chloe's ear and whispered, "We've kissed, hugged, and even slept together. If that's not dating, then what is?"

Hearing his brazen words, Chloe's face turned bright red. She couldn't believe Grant would say such a thing.

Fortunately, he spoke softly enough that only she could hear. Otherwise, she would have died of embarrassment.

"Chloe, are you trying to shirk responsibility after sleeping with me?" Grant pressed on, whispering in her ear again.

Chloe's face turned even redder. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Louis watched the playful banter between the young couple and couldn't help but laugh. He felt as if watching young people in love made him feel young again.

Chloe pouted and laid out her conditions to Grant. "Grantie, at most, we've just spent a lot of time together. As for dating, that's not happening."

"When I came to Sovereign City for college, my grandpa told me that not just anyone can be a son-in-law of the Davis family."

"If you want to date me, Grantie, you have to meet my conditions..."

Chloe smiled deeply at Grant.

Grant was undeterred. He lightly parted his lips and said, "Go ahead, tell me your conditions."

Without hesitation, Chloe said, "My future husband must be better than me in every way. Grant, how about we have a little competition?"
