Shouldn't Talk so Randomly

[He really is your best friend, best wingman.]

Lex ignored the system and said, "Yeah, I don't have any problems, but I don't have the licence to drive inside the city, so you can take my bike."

He took out the keys and was going to give them to Elle when something came flying towards him. He easily caught it between his fingers and looked at it.

"I knew you would need that, so I had someone make it for you. You're a member of the Ramsey family so you can use any vehicles in the city as you please." Grandpa Max said, "If anyone says anything, just show them that card."

Lex looked at the Orange coloured card which was a sort of identification card for nobles. Since Grandpa Max was a general, he was granted the title of noble automatically.

Cards like this were only possessed by the members of the noble family. If anyone else was found having these cards in their possession, their lives were bound to become hell.

Lex sighed and stuffed the orange card in his pocket. He knew that Grandpa Max wouldn't take no for an answer so why even bother arguing?

"Yes, It's better for someone else to drive." Marvin nodded and said.

Elle knew about the Star Bike and its speed, so she finally relented. She looked at Jean and said, "Then I'll just eat here with Opa."

"Nice, I've already made the breakfast, so I'll bring it here." Jean said and looked at Lex, "Can you help me, Lex?"

"Sure," Lex said as he stood up and followed Jean inside the mansion.

Marvin looked at the fleeting silhouette of Lex and asked, "How strong is he?"

Grandpa Max replied, "Can't really tell. He actually has two abilities."

Marvin was surprised and asked, "He's a twin Awakener?"

"Yes, but he hasn't told anyone about his second ability, so we don't really know how strong he is." Grandpa Max said. "But he's strong, that's for sure. Especially his second ability, I don't know what it is, but it's deadly."

"I was just asking because of Elle's security," Marvin said. "But seeing the confidence you have in him, I shouldn't be worried."

Elle stood up and said, "I'll go and get ready, Opa."

Marvin nodded his head.

Denver looked at the leaving Elle and said, "She's really serious, or rather scary if I had to say."

Marvin laughed and said, "You haven't even talked with her yet, so how do you know she's scary?"

Denver shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, just instincts."

"Oh? What else your instincts are telling?" Grandpa Max asked in curiosity.

Denver made a thoughtful expression and responded, "They're telling me that she's gonna be in my life for a long time."

"If you're trying to say you have a crush on her, then forget it; she's out of your league. Even I can't help you with that." Grandpa Max instantly said.

Denver just looked at Grandpa Max like he was the weirdest person on the planet and said, "What kind of thoughts are you having in your old brain, Old Man?"

He shook his head and said, "I know my limits. She isn't my type either. I want someone cute, and she definitely isn't."

"And what do you mean by that?" Marvin asked in a stern voice.

Denver flinched and looked at Marvin with a fearful gaze. He was dead. He was literally complaining about his granddaughter in front of him.

He raised his hands as he tried to explain before the matter got worse and he got beaten up, "Y-You're misunderstanding, Grandpa. I meant cute as in a little silly, Elle is the more logical type, and we don't really suit."

Marvin nodded and dropped the topic. What could he say? Denver wasn't the first one to say this. Even he knew Elle was someone who brought logic to everything. She hated troublesome things that she couldn't explain, like emotions.

Denver heaved a sigh of relief as he wiped off the non-existent sweat from his forehead. He then felt a chill and slowly raised his head, only to meet the darkened eyes of Grandpa Max.

'Ah! Fuck me! Why do I need to run my mouth so randomly?' Denver cursed as he tried to think of a solution. He knew that even if Marvin didn't say anything, His Grandpa Max wouldn't be forgiving him.

Then the light bulb in his head lit up as he thought, 'Sorry, my brother, but it looks like I need to sacrifice you. Handle it for my sake.'

Before Grandpa Max could say anything to him, Denver spoke, "Grandpa Marvin, I've heard you're looking for a partner for Elle and have forced her on many blind dates."

"Yeah, you're right about that. She's too focused on her business and focused on earning money. She feels she's happy and has a weird but logical definition of relationship." Marvin sighed as he slumped back in his chair. "I just want her to be happy, to feel everything life has to offer."

He then shook his head and said, "But she's stubborn and has managed to ruin every single blind date I've sent her to."

Denver nodded and said, "Then how about Lex? Although he's younger than Elle, he's mature and a good guy. His past has really shaped him well."

"For once, I have to agree with Denver. Although he acts like he's just goofing around, in actuality, he's a lot more mature and understands everything."

Marvin furrowed his brows as he thought about the prospects of Elle and Lex being in a relationship. He didn't have any problems with the age gap as he just wanted his Elle to be happy and feel everything.

Besides, he had personally known his parents, which was a plus point for him. Lex's parents were people with great character and even he admired them. If Lex, as their son, inherited their character, then it would be perfectly fine.

Marvin looked at Grandpa Max and asked, "Have you told him about his parents?"
