C133 If One Day You Choose Either Of Them

David said wisely. “Every great love story begins with arguments.” Chris froze. Valeria joined in. “It’s true.”

David pointed at him. “You spend all day arguing with Alicia.” “Because she’s annoying.” “Exactly.” “That is not proof!” David smiled proudly. “That is precisely how it starts.”

Chris wanted to argue but realized it would only make things worse. Valeria laughed. “Every time we hear her name, your expression changes.”

“Because she provokes me.” “See?” David looked at his wife. “Our son has fallen.” Chris stared at the ceiling. Why were parents like this?

After another ten minutes of relentless teasing, he escaped to his room. Unfortunately, he could still hear his parents laughing downstairs.

At the Mooney Mansion, Alicia was also being teased. Peter looked at her bracelet and smiled. “Our granddaughter seems very happy tonight.” Georgia nodded. “Much happier than usual.” Mark casually added, “I wonder why.”

Peter chuckled softly while the family was still laughing. He looked at Alicia with a warm but serious expression.

“My dear granddaughter,” he said gently, “since you already know about their struggles and a little of their past…” He paused, making sure she was listening carefully.

Alicia’s playful expression faded, and she nodded slowly, becoming attentive. “If one day you choose either of them as your boyfriend or husband,”

Peter continued, “don’t let jealousy or rivalry come between them the way Ben caused trouble after taking that girl from Mike.”

He sighed lightly, then added, “You can already see it yourself… they rely on each other more than anything. Their friendship is rare.”

He smiled faintly. “So don’t become the reason that bond breaks. Instead, if you ever care for one of them, learn to respect the friendship they’ve built.”

Alicia looked down for a moment, unusually quiet, before nodding softly. “I understand, Grandpa,” she said in a calmer tone than usual.

She immediately stood up. “I am going to bed.” Thoughts of what her grandpa said did not leave her mind. She also needed to think about it but what is there to think about they are her bigger brothers.

The adults laughed as she fled upstairs. For the first time in many years, all three families went to sleep with smiles on their faces.
