Edward slammed the table mercilessly when Benson brought up Sierra. Then, he shot Benson a sharp gaze.
"You don't have the right to be making this request. You're the one who mistreated a perfectly nice lady.
"Sierra is decent and kind, and she never would have asked for a breakup if she hadn't suffered miserably and became utterly heartbroken."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Edward's eyes when he thought of how obedient and nice Sierra was.
Benson didn't know how good he had it until it was gone. He should've appreciated such a wonderful lady.
Meanwhile, his face paled as he frantically explained, "Grandpa, I know what I did wrong, and I talked to her, but she just wouldn't forgive me. Now, she doesn't even want to see me."
At this point, he felt a little dejected before he looked at Edward eagerly. "Grandpa, Cee listens to everything you say. Will you ask her out for me?"
Edward hesitated while Benson held his arm and shook it gently.
Benson noticed it and he kept going, "Help me out once. I will definitely explain it to Cee properly when I see her. I'm going to apologize to her and get her to forgive me. Don't you want her to be your granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa?"
Edward believed that Sierra was a good fit for Benson. That was why he set them up previously. He would've been fine with it if Theo managed to marry her, but there hadn't been any updates from Theo lately.
Sierra was a wonderful lady. He wouldn't stand idly by and let someone outsider marry her.
Edward glanced at the pleading look on Benson's face and believed that Benson had learned his lesson. He mulled it over and decided to give him one more chance.
"I'll help you this once. You can forget about asking for my help again if you can't get her to forgive you."
Benson was pleasantly surprised. He pushed the phone on the table to Edward with both hands and guaranteed it.
"With your help, I'll definitely be able to win her back this time." He wasn't flattering Edward. Instead, he said what he said because he knew just how important Edward meant to Sierra.
Benson wore an anticipating expression when he thought about how she would get back with him soon. His hands, which were lying by his sides, slowly balled into fists.
