Chapter 136
Opposite him, Veronica lowered her head and played with her phone with a careless expression, as if she hadn‘t heard Elizabeth‘s words.
Elizabeth, who was accustomed to Matthew‘s silence, turned to Tiffany instead. “Tiffany, what are your plans? Do your parents know that you are pregnant with a child?”
“Grandma, my parents had just found out about it too.”
Tiffany knew very well that if she wanted to marry Matthew, she could only put all her hopes on Elizabeth, so she said, “I‘ll follow whatever Matthew says.” Saying that, she glanced at Matthew affectionately, her bright eyes full of love and fondness.
Seeing Tiffany‘s love for Matthew in her eyes, Elizabeth smacked the table gently. “Matthew, you aren‘t getting any younger. In my opinion, you should hold the wedding next month. Her belly will probably start showing in three months, so it‘s better for you to marry sooner so that you don‘t become a laughingstock.”
The wealthier one was, the more they cared about reputation. Hence, having a child before marriage was an extremely shameless thing.
“Too hasty,” Mathew slowly put down the glass in his hand and said carelessly.
“How is it too hasty? Just send out the invitations, select the wedding venue, and then go for the pre–wedding photoshoot. As long as we have money, there‘s nothing that can‘t be done.”
As Elizabeth pondered their marriage, she looked at Veronica and asked, “Veronica, don‘t you think so?”
As Veronica, who was a bystander, was named, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the two opposite of her as if nothing had happened. When her gaze went from Tiffany to Matthew, she met his gaze for a moment. Though it was just a glance, his eyes were full of indescribable emotions that Veronica couldn‘t get a grasp on.
While she was deep in thought, Xavier beside her suddenly spoke up. “Old Mrs. Kings is right. One month is indeed enough.”
“Yeah, it‘s more than enough. Both the invitation and the wedding venue can be arranged by other people, and the both of you will only have to take wedding photos. Isn‘t it just a matter of two, three days? It‘s completely enough,” Veronica said.
Everyone knew Elizabeth really wanted a great–grandson. Before, when Veronica told Elizabeth that the Larson Family had threatened her to donate her bone marrow to Randy, Elizabeth still felt extremely repelled by the Larson Family at that time. However, as she gradually came into contact with Tiffany, her resistance to Tiffany gradually disappeared. Now that Tiffany was pregnant, Elizabeth called for her to marry Matthew quickly!
That was just how life was.
“Hahaha, Veronica is right.” Elizabeth patted her on the shoulder. “Then, I‘ll leave the preparations of the wedding venue to you. You‘re Matthew‘s godsister and you have a good eye. I believe in you.”
Her words shocked everyone, and several gazes fell on Elizabeth all at once.
Tiffany thought, Why? Why should my wedding be arranged by that b*tch Veronica?
Matthew was confused. What is Grandma planning?
Xavier was dumbfounded. As I thought, there isn‘t anyone good in the Kings Family. This is going too far.
Veronica was taken aback. Is Grandma all right?
“Grandma, the wedding…”
Matthew opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw Veronica nod. “Okay. Since Grandma trusts me, I don‘t have a problem at all,” she said.
In the end, she was about to leave Bloomstead. Because of Elizabeth‘s liking for her, Matthew had saved her many times. She had to repay Elizabeth‘s saving grace. However, Elizabeth‘s actions confused Veronica and made her unable to grasp what she was thinking. She even began to doubt Elizabeth‘s liking for her.
“Hahaha, okay, that‘s settled. Let‘s hurry and eat.” Elizabeth was in a good mood and was smiling from ear to ear. She naturally took care of Tiffany and gave her food, and ordered the chefs to prepare some fruits for her after dinner.
After they finished their meal, they sat together and chatted for a while before going home. Because Elizabeth was in a good mood today, she showed them to the door with Mrs. Coleman, her personal caretaker as well as the housekeeper, and watched them leave.
Ji wasn‘ı unul the two cars were far away that Elizabeth let out a sigh and said to Mrs.
Coleman, “Mrs. Coleman, it seems that I will get the chance to see my great grandson before I die. I‘m content, haha.”
Mrs. Coleman, who was standing next to her, lightly chided her, “What nonsense are you spouting? You‘re still healthy and well.”
“Not even the children know about my condition, but you should know better.”
“Oh, your condition isn‘t as bad as you think. Please don‘t worry too much.”
Mrs. Coleman helped her into the house when she suddenly thought of something and said, “Old Madam, do you remember what you said to Miss Murphy just now?”
at Mrs. Coleman in confusion. “What did I say? Is there something wrong?”
“Uh… Sigh, never mind, it‘s okay.” Mrs. Coleman shook her head, not wanting to tell Elizabeth what had just happened for fear that she would be upset.
“Just tell me when I ask you to. Stop dilly–dallying,” Elizabeth scolded.
“I…” Mrs. Coleman hesitated for a moment, but upon seeing Elizabeth‘s resolute attitude, she had no choice but to say, “You asked Miss Murphy to plan the wedding for the young master and Miss Tiffany.”
“Nonsense! Tiffany and Veronica act like enemies every time they meet. What the Larson Family did to Veronica was despicable. Although I accepted Tiffany, I would not do such a silly thing.” Elizabeth waved her hand. “It‘s absolutely impossible. You‘re just talking nonsense.” She brushed away Mrs. Coleman‘s hand that was holding her and continued to walk alone.
However, a few steps later, she stopped again and looked back at Mrs. Coleman. “Did I really say something like that?” She looked guilty, and her eyes were helpless and full of sadness.
Mrs. Coleman couldn‘t bear to see Elizabeth blaming herself like this, so she immediately stepped forward to comfort her, “I‘ve said this before: you can‘t hide it from them forever. But you insist on being so stubborn. You should just talk to Miss Murphy. She is indeed a good girl.”
“Sigh, I must be growing old.” Elizabeth patted her head and fell into deep remorse.
Matthew sent Tiffany back to the villa. At the entrance, Tiffany opened the car door
and got out of the car. She looked at Matthew fondly and asked, “Matthew, thank you for sending me back. There‘s still some time. Do you want to go in and have a seat?”
Although she and Matthew were already engaged and he had sent her home many times, he rarely went into the villa. Tiffany was upset about this, but she dared not speak up.
“You‘re pregnant. Rest early.” Matthew said indifferently, “Good night.”
Tiffany bit her red lips lightly, feeling a little incredulous, but she could only nod and reply, “Okay. Good night, Matthew.”
On the way back from the Kings Residence, she didn‘t dare mention the “wedding” for fear that Matthew would regret it all of a sudden. Tiffany warned herself countless times that she had to hold back and wait until she married into the Kings Family, then all her problems would be solved.
After that, Matthew started his car and left, heading straight for Twilight Condominium. When he returned home, Yvonne and Veronica were sitting on the sofa watching television.
