While Rain had hugged Alexander earlier, his thoughts drifted to how his father had started pestering him and William about marriage and giving him a grandson. His father would often say that he wasn't getting any younger and that life was short—he wanted to experience being a grandfather before he passed away.
Now, it all made sense. His father's cancer diagnosis had been the catalyst. That was when he began meddling in their personal lives, something he hadn't done before. He had hidden his desire for grandchildren behind jokes.
Rain's suggestions on how to proceed further were perfect, and it was a well-thought-out plan for handling the situation. But all Alexander could think about was making his father happy. He wanted to give his father everything he desired, to fulfill his wishes with all his might.
