Something Beautiful
Chapter - 47

Marry Lisa? Nope-no.. What does your grandmother think!

"Begging for anything other than that," Yugyeom hurriedly groaned as he frowned towards his grandmother.

In response, the woman deliberately raised her eyebrows and gave a look of disdain towards Yugyeom as if her assessment of the man had instantly dropped drastically. This type of gaze was used effectively for fifty years, and was always successful, to intimidate his friends, to make the servants submit to him, to keep the children quiet, he said, and disperse the intentions of those who want to oppose her, including her husband and children. Only Mingyu was immune to that gaze. Mingyu and her mother.

However, Yugyeom was not immune to that gaze as he was twelve years old, when the same gaze made her cry instantly stop from being forced to learn Latin and at the behest of her grandmother she shyly went upstairs to study diligently. Now he sighed, looking around the room desperately as if looking for a way to escape. And that's true.

The grandmother waited in silence. Silence is another weapon her grandmother, Yugyeom knows it. At times like this the woman always waits in silence. It was much better, much more honorable and refined, to politely wait in silence until the target stopped trying to escape, rather than directly kill him with a shot of useless words.

"It seems you don't realize what you're asking of me" Yugyeom said angrily.

Yugyeom's reluctance to bow respectfully raised his grandmother's eyebrows slightly, as if he was not only disappointed in Yugyeom, but also upset that he was now forced to give a warning shot. But he shot without hesitation, heading straight for the target, just as Yugyeom had expected. In a war of words, his grandmother's shots never miss.

"I sincerely hope," said the woman with the right amount of resentment, "you don't mean to say you're not interested in Lisa?"

"And if I say it?"

His white eyebrows shot up to his hair, warning Yugyeom that he was ready for open warfare if the man dared to argue.

"There is no need to pull out a heavy weapon" Yugyeom warned as he gestured with a raised hand as a sign of surrender. Although he hated the fact that in every argument, the woman could still make him a child, but he was also mature and wise enough to know that there was no point in arguing with his grandmother if she was right.

"I don't deny it. Moreover, the idea had already crossed my mind more than once."

His grandmother's eyebrows dropped to a normal position and he rewarded Yugyeom with a graceful nod from his white-haired head. That gesture means Yugyeom may still have a chance to regain his affection.

"You're acting with common sense." He is always generous to those who submit to him.

"I didn't agree to your proposal, but I agreed to discuss it with Lisa and let her make the decision."

"In this case Lisa had no choice as you, my dear," said the grandmother, so lulled at being so satisfied that she unknowingly said the word affection without waiting for another week or a month, as always, to forgive Yugyeom's unwillingness for defying his request.

"And there's no point in worrying about when and where you're going to discuss the matter with him, because I've had Ramsey call him here with us," he stopped when he knocked on the door, "now too." right now."

"Now?!" Yugyeom exclaimed furiously. "I can't do it now. Below are three men who came here asking for my approval to propose to Lisa."

Her grandmother dispelled the matter by simply flicking her finger gracefully. "I'll tell Ramsey to tell them to leave." Before Yugyeom could protest, she had already opened the door and let Lisa in, and Yugyeom stared in awe when he saw her grandmother's attitude instantly change 180 degrees.

"Lisa," said the woman firmly, without the slightest hint of affection, "your behavior made us really worried. I know you don't want to worry me because I'm not young anymore,"

"Make you anxious, ma'am?" repeat Lisa, be alert. "My behavior? What have I done?"

"I will tell you," the older woman replied, then mercilessly carried out an attack aimed at intimidating, intimidating, it makes Lisa anxious and forces her to marry Yugyeom as soon as she closes the door.

"The complexity we are experiencing is not just your fault," the old woman began her sentence, her words flowing like a barrage of bullets. "But the fact is that if Yugyeom had not heard of your planned trip to Cadbury with an unwise noble youth, and had come in time to pick you up, you might have found yourself in Wilton, by now, humiliated, and forced to marry the bastard. Fad streets, flirting with one admirer to another, this must be stopped immediately. Everyone thinks you're having fun, but I know the truth! You're acting wild and shameful like this just to hurt Mingyu. To show him that you can match him, what he does you can do too. Well, you can't, my dear! Your little adventure is nothing compared to what men do, especially men like Mingyu. Further,"

The old woman explained in a high tone of voice that indicated she was going to deliver a very important news, "Mingyu is dead."

Lisa looked at the grandmother with a confused look. "I already know."

Raising her hand, the old woman fired her last round of ammunition, "In addition to having fun, you need something to occupy your mind, Lisa. Husbands and children are the right thing to do. You've danced to the beat, my dear, and now I think it's time you paid the flute blower. The dresses to attend the various parties were very expensive, and we were not a money factory. I'll leave you and Yugyeom to talk about the details." Smiling gently at Lisa and smiling threateningly at Yugyeom, the woman sauntered gracefully out of the door. When he turned around, he said to the two of them, "This time please plan a big wedding in the church, but soon, of course."

"Of course," Yugyeom said flatly. Lisa said nothing, just standing in her place.

The Lady Kim frowned towards Yugyeom and directed her last words to Lisa. "I've never admitted this before, but I'm a superstitious person. For me everything that doesn't start well will end badly, and your marriage to Mingyu, well, it was a sad wedding ceremony and gave me a bad premonition. A grand wedding ceremony in the church is just the right thing. People will be interested in talking about it, but it will make them remember something better about you than all the scandals that preceded it. Three weeks from now I think it's pretty good."

Without waiting for an answer, the grandmother closed the door effectively shutting down any opportunity for Yugyeom or Lisa to debate her words. He did not want to hear such protests.

When the old woman was gone, Lisa clasped the back of the chair to seek support and slowly turned her head towards Yugyeom, who was grimacing towards the closed door. "She turned out to be more cruel than I'd imagined" he quipped with a mixture of affection and despair as he turned to look at Lisa.

"Hawk's the only person who can't be intimidated by him. My father was very afraid of him, as was Mingyu's father. And my grandfather..."

"Yugyeom," Lisa interrupted sadly, gripped by guilt and confused. "What have I done? I didn't know I was embarrassing all of us. And why didn't you tell me that I spent too much money on a dress?" Shame pervades her new self very clearly, living a life of frivolity in luxury but aimlessly.

"Lisa's." The woman turned her back to look at Yugyeom's smile with a clueless look, "You've just become the object of the most intense emotional blackmail I've ever seen that you inevitably feel guilty. My grandmother didn't leave any gaps." Yugyeom raised his hand, smiling convincingly. Lisa placed her hand on the man's palm and Yugyeom grasped it to calm down.

"My grandmother's health is fine, you didn't make us go bankrupt either, and you certainly didn't embarrass Kim's surname."

Lisa is not sure. Many things from the words of the grandmother also often crossed his mind. For more than a year he lived with people who treated him like family and took care of him like a young mistress, but he was not both. At first, he silenced his senses because he thought the grandmother really wanted to be accompanied by him to spend the months after Mingyu died. But lately Lisa has never accompanied the grandmother again, it seems they have no time for each other, other than waving each other when their train crosses the road or on the stairs, when going to their respective events.

"The part about going to Cadbury's right?" ask Lisa sadly.

"Yes." Yeah."

"He didn't show me his affection like the other young men. I don't understand why he's kidnapping me."

"My grandmother had an interesting theory about it. It has to do with boys and toys. Ask her one day."

"Please, don't confuse me!" Lisa begging. "Tell me what happened."

Yugyeom explains his condensed version of the conversation he had with his grandmother. "The fact is," he concluded, "you are too attractive to endanger your safety and disturb the peace of our minds."

"You're exaggerating!" Lisa chuckles. "There's definitely more to it than that."

"How much did you like your debut?"

"Sliced as you describe it, attractive, elegant, and everyone is so, elegant, attractive, and I've never seen such an elegant horse-drawn carriage or..."

Yugyeom's shoulder trembled with laughter. "You really can't lie."

"I know," Lisa replied sadly.

"Then we'll just be honest, between you and me."

Lisa nodded, but still hesitated. "How much do I love this season in London?" reiterate Lisa, this time considering the question seriously. Like all young, upper-class women in London during debut season, she slept until noon, had breakfast in bed, then changed clothes at least five times a day to receive morning visits, take a walk in the park, go to parties, dinner events, and also various dance parties. It was never really busy. But during the work that should take up all his time, which is to have fun, one question constantly pops into his mind. Is it just this? Is there no other?
