The moment Grandma saw Vera Xavier's expression, she knew exactly what was going on. She reached out, gently tapping the spot between Vera's eyebrows. "You, girl. It's true what they say—a grown daughter can't be kept from leaving the nest. Just make sure you handle yourself properly. Don't let them look down on you, and don't give anyone cause for gossip."
Vera Xavier winked at her grandma. "Don't worry, Grandma. I was the top scholar in the province, remember? I know what I'm doing!"
With that, she walked out. Grandma watched her go and said with a smile, "That girl."
In truth, Grandma hadn't really approved of Vera Xavier dating Nathaniel Nathan before. After all, the gap between their families' social standing was just too wide.
But after Zachary Preston fell ill, Master Nathan came to visit him a few times. He even spoke with Vera's grandparents about Nathaniel Nathan and Vera Xavier. His attitude was open-minded, and his words were filled with praise and fondness for Vera.
