I was asked

In 2022 at 32 single and not in any relationship, I've had my moments, but was busy career wise and had let it slide. More intent of getting to the top of my career quickly instead of having relationships. Seen as trustworthy and dependable by my employer 72, he was worried about his only heir. His granddaughter 25 was very introverted and rarely spoke to people mostly since the death of her parents several years before. With my employer having heart problems, he had decided he needed to see his granddaughter married and starting a family quickly. As he thought he might die sooner than later, I was also easy going and got on well with everybody. My lack of any relationship was also a plus showing him I wouldn't cheat on her as I wasn't chasing women. He asked me to a private meeting and was straight to the point, asking me to marry his granddaughter. I was shocked at first and could only say why me and would she want to marry me. He said she would do as he told her too and he was sure we were well suited for each other. I instantly saw it as quick rise to the top of my career, even with the prenup he had said would need to be signed by me before the marriage. I'd seen the granddaughter, and she was very pretty to look at, I hadn't spoken to her as she kept her distance from everyone except her grandfather. I decided to agree on the condition she was happy with the arrangement and with no pressure from him. The next day Saturday I visited his home, and I met his granddaughter face to face. She was very shy at first and after she had relaxed somewhat with me, her grandfather left us alone to get to know each other. I straight out asked her was happy with her grandfather proposal of her marrying me and at first, she nodded. But then said I'm happy to marry her and it will help my grandfather relax more and help his health improve. It wasn't perfect, but better than I'd expected, thinking she would say I do what my grandfather wants as a response. At least it seemed she had thought it thru a bit at least and so I formally asked her to marry me then and there and she accepted. Then we went and found her grandfather and told him he was delighted, a quick wedding later (April) I was now living in their home. The first month was somewhat awkward, but we clicked as the saying goes. She spoke freely to me and didn't need her grandfather to be close by. In July she was confirmed as pregnant, and we would have a son named after her grandfather and my father. Lucky, they had the same Christian name as it's a tradition in my family for the first-born son to be named after its father's father. I was also promoted and was now inline to succeed my grandfather-in-law as head of the family business. As of last month, my wife is again pregnant, and also her grandfather's health has improved greatly. But he has taken more of a backseat approach to the business preferring to be with his great grandson more often. But offering advice when asked, I at first, had thought I knew everything. But I soon found out I didn't and I'm not too proud to ask for advice if I need it. Which makes me more acceptable as his replacement he told me, only fools believe they know everything. My parents also live nearby in a house bought by my grandfather-in-law, mainly to have my mother near her daughter-in-law to give advice when needed. I'm very happy with my marriage and really do love my wife and she very happy also and has become more outgoing than before, but is still quiet around strangers.
