Iris silently sighed upon hearing Xavier announce his plan to her grandmother. She couldn't help but feel frustrated. They were supposed to tell her grandmother about their engagement first, but Xavier bypassed that step.

Before Iris could finish her sentence, Cassandra said, "Xavier, I don't mind my granddaughter living with you, but you both should get engaged first," she said firmly.

Cassandra continued, "I know you are both young and still in college. You can't possibly get married quickly; however, an engagement is a must. If you're engaged, I'll agree to hand Iris over to you. And I'll follow Dr. Finley's advice to travel around the world..."
Xavier and Iris exchanged glances, surprised to hear how quickly Cassandra agreed.
