Emma smiled faintly, "Grandpa, it's been so long since they've split. They've both moved on, seeking to start anew. So much happened during those five years; understandable they want to look forward now. Ethan and Olivia were in a long-term relationship, and he believes they should bless each other rather than dwell on the

Whatever decision I make, you know I'll support you," Mr. Carter Sr. replied, an understanding smile crossing his face, as if he'd found some inner peace.

Emma nodded, preparing to leave when suddenly Ethan appeared, holding a doll in his arms. "I'll drive her home," he volunteered.

"It's late, Emma. Why don't you let Ethan take you home? I'd feel better knowing you're with him," Mr. Carter Sr. added, endorsing Ethan's offer, not hesitating for a

moment.

Realizing both her grandfather and Ethan were in agreement, she felt it would be rude to refuse, so she accepted.

heart.

"From now on, don't speak out of turn in front of Grandpa," Ethan said suddenly, his face serious as they got into the car.

Emma looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"I know what I told Grandpa and it's not your place to get involved. Just let me handle it," Ethan emphasized, his tone firm.
