Because he did not attend the party, he had to accept his punishment.
As soon as he got home, he went straight to the ancestral temple.
Kern was waiting for him at the entrance when he arrived.
“Mr. Nathan, your grandfather said he’s not feeling well. Please come with me.”
Unthinkingly, Nathan followed Kern.
Kern abruptly stopped when they reached the guest room on the second floor and motioned for him to enter.
Nathan frowned.
“This is not Grandpa’s room. Why did you bring me here?”
“Mr. Payne was passing by this room when he suddenly felt sick, so he went inside to rest,” Kern replied coolly.

Kern gave him a pointed look.
“Do I look like I have the guts to joke about Mr. Payne ‘s health? He’s there. Just go inside. He’ll get mad if you don’t.”
With narrowed eyes, Nathan cautiously pushed the door open. As soon as he took two steps inside the room, Kern shoved him in from behind before closing the door and locking it.
“What the hell, Kern? Open the door!”

“I believe you have some explaining to do. I’ve never met you before, but you want to marry me. I wanna know why.”
Nathan gripped the doorknob in desperation.
