Nicholas glanced at the entertainment news on TV and stopped paying attention because he had no interest after all. On the contrary, when Tessa saw Nicholas being silent, she looked over curiously.
“Why didn’t you say something? Did you already know about the marriage between the Muller Family and the Hadfield Family?” “I don’t pay attention to such news. Compared with them, you and Greg deserve my attention more.” Nicholas stared at Tessa affectionately.
As their eyes met, there was romance in the air. Tessa’s heart felt warm as if she had drunk warm honey. Seeing his parents displaying such overt affection, Gregory put his hands on his chin, looked left and right, and felt very happy. Daddy and Mommy have such a good relationship with each other!
Yet, after Tessa felt happy, she hesitated in her heart. Did Wanda really give up on Nicholas? She was still eager to cling to him before, but now she has gotten together with Oliver so quickly. Maybe… she really gave up?
However, Wanda hadn’t given up at all. At this moment, she hated Oliver to death in her heart, wishing she could kill this man. Unfortunately, Horace had no idea. After breakfast, he stopped Wanda, who was leaving. “Make time tonight. I’ve invited Mr. and Mrs. Hadfield to dinner.”
“What did you ask them to dinner for?” Wanda frowned and asked. Horace didn’t hide anything from her and said truthfully, “Of course, we’re going to discuss your marriage with Oliver.”
No matter what, he couldn’t let his granddaughter’s reputation be tarnished.
Wanda didn’t expect that her grandfather hadn’t given up on this yet, and her expression was a little unsightly. “Grandpa, I said that you don’t have to worry about this matter as I will take care of it.”
“It’s about your reputation! How could I stop worrying about it?”
Horace looked over in disapproval, then added earnestly, “I know you may not want to get married yet, but since things have developed to this point, you and Oliver must at least be formally together.”
Wanda didn’t want to have anything to do with that b*stard Oliver, let alone marry him. But she also knew that it was useless for her to say no to Horace, so she made up her mind to say no to the Hadfield couple at the dinner table tonight.
That night, in the private room of a high-end restaurant, the two families sat together at the dining table. Contrary to Horace’s kindly look, Wanda kept a cold expression the whole time.
Truth was, Francis and Belinda were quite unhappy about Wanda’s attitude, but they still smiled on the surface. “Have you been in good health, Horace?” Belinda took the initiative to speak first.
Horace nodded. “I’m quite fine, thank you.”
The three elders began making small talk. Oliver, who was sitting on the side, looked at Wanda smugly. He knew very well that the purpose of the meal tonight was to discuss his marriage with Wanda. Wanda naturally noticed Oliver’s provocation, and the anger in her heart started rising. She clenched her hands tightly into fists and resisted the urge to fling the glass in front of her at him.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the three elders brought up the topic of marriage. “About the marriage, do you have any requirements, Horace?” Belinda took the initiative to ask.
Horace glanced sideways at Wanda, then slowly said, “We don’t have to rush the wedding. We should spend more time preparing for it. I only have one granddaughter. Hence, I want to give her the best.”
“Naturally.” The Hadfield couple nodded in approval, and the smiles on their faces became somewhat genuine.
It didn’t matter if the marriage date was delayed, as long as Wanda married into their family, it would be of endless benefit to them. Wanda looked at their smiles and found them extremely annoying. She couldn’t bear it anymore and stood up. “I won’t agree to this marriage!”
As soon as these words came out, the three elders looked a little unhappy. Francis and Belinda concealed their unhappiness very well. Pretending to be kind, they asked, “Wanda, is there something you are dissatisfied with?”
Even though they said so, they were very displeased in their hearts. After all, Wanda had already slept with their son, yet she was still acting all haughty like that.
Then, Horace spoke up in a slightly irritated tone, “Wanda, don’t act foolish.”
