Chapter 1606:
As the second day drew to a close, just as the night was beginning to creep in, Brook's phone rang. It was his
uncle, Jordy Owen. Brook answered calmly, knowing that whatever was to come, he had learned long ago how to
navigate his uncle's conversations.
“Brook, it's been far too long. My wife and | have been missing you. How about coming over for a nice home-
cooked meal?” Jordy’s voice rang out cheerfully.
Brook replied, “I'll be there, but I'll be about thirty minutes late.”
“No problem at all. We'll be waiting for you,” Jordy said, laughter bubbling through the line before he hung up.

he leave his office.
When he arrived at Jordy’s house, his aunt-in-law, Zoe, greeted him with warmth that could melt the coldest of
hearts. “Brook, it’s been so long! And | must say, you're looking even more handsthan the last t| saw
you!”
Brook offered a small smile, his tone gentle. “Zoe, you're looking radiant. Seems like you've been taking life
easy, and it’s agreeing with you.”
Zoe chuckled lightly. “Well, now that I'm retired, | have all the tin the world to enjoy life, and it suits me
well.”
The two of them moved to the living room, chatting away like old friends. Jordy, noticing their arrival, rose from
his seat. “Brook! It’s good to see you. How are things at the company?”
“Everything's going smoothly,” Brook assured him.
Jordy patted Brook on the back, a proud smile on his face. “I'm really proud of you. You're growing into a fine
man. You make an old man likefeel hopeful for the future.”
While Zoe went to prepare drinks, Jordy led Brook into the study, his demeanor shifting subtly.
Curious, Brook asked, “Uncle Jordy, is there something on your mind?” Jordy hesitated, his words seemingly
caught between his lips. After a long pause, he spoke. “I've watched you grow, and now that your career is on
solid ground, I think it's tyou start considering marriage. Your mother mentioned it as well. You're almost
thirty now. It’s high tyou thought about it.”
Brook's face remained unchanged, his expression a mask of calm. He had seen this coming. After all, he had long
heard of Jordy’s affair with Corrie.

“I'm not in a rush,” Brook replied, his voice steady. “Yes, I've just taken the helm of the company, and while
things are improving, there are still challenges to tackle. My focus needs to be on the business for now.”

Jordy, growing a bit anxious, leaned in. “The company’s not as difficult as you make it out to be. You're just
stalling. How long do you plan to put this off? Corrie won't wait forever. And her family is getting anxious too.
They've ctoasking when you'll marry. They're worried about the engagement falling through, and if that
happens, how will that look for Corrie? She'll be humiliated.”
Brook remained unfazed. “I appreciate your concern, but | believe marriage is a serious commitment that
requires thoughtful consideration. Once I've cleared the company’s hurdles, I'll be in a better position to give
Corrie the life she deserves.”
Jordy sighed, his tone tinged with frustration. “You're a grown man now, with your own ideas. | can’t force you,
but I will remind you—delaying marriage too long can be unhealthy.”
