Chapter 88 The Engagement With Jonathan
“Oh, this…” Upon noticing Fanny looked at another gift box, Zacharias hesitated before answering her.
He glanced at the others and said, “In theory, today is also Angela’s birthday, so I think we should give
her a gift as well.”
Fanny and Angela were born on the same day, which led to the mix–up.
Although their birthdays coincided, Zacharias recalled that Angela was hardly ever celebrated in the
family. Sometimes, she didn’t even receive verbal blessings.
With this in mind, Zacharias felt something amiss in his heart, so he casually prepared an extra gift.
Moreover, he always felt uneasy about having Angela be Fanny’s bridesmaid.
After all, Angela was their sister, too.
Upon hearing that the gift was for Angela, Samuel’s expression instantly turned cold.
He walked over quickly, snatched the gift box from the table, and opened it. Then, he coldly said, “Look
at her recent attitude toward us, rebellious to no end, sometimes talking nonsense! How can she, who
is so immature, wear the same necklace as Fanny?”
“Zacharias, you’re showing favoritism.” Samuel looked at him with a puzzled expression, not
understanding why Zacharias suddenly prepared a gift for Angela. “Today is Fanny’s birthday, the most
important day of the year. Yet, you’re only thinking about Angela.”
Zacharias didn’t argue back, but his brows furrowed. Today is the most important day of the year. Isn’t it an important day for Angela as well?
Upon seeing the two of them arguing, Fanny looked worried and said, “Zacharias, Samuel. can you Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
please not be angry? I’m actually very happy to be able to wear the same necklace as Angela, and it’s
a gift from Zacharias… Angela doesn’t have any bad intentions. She might have encountered
something recently that makes it difficult for her to control her emotions. and unintentionally upset our
parents.”
Fanny pursed her lips, as if she had thought of something. Her eyes slightly reddened, giving her an
innocent and kind appearance. “Although Angela has always been reluctant to get close to me, I
believe that she considers us as a family in her heart.”
With these few words, everyone suddenly became even more annoyed with Angela.
Samuel gently touched Fanny’s head with a pained expression. “Fanny, when will you
toughen up and stop defending Angela? We all see how immature she is. She’s even moving her
household registration, so it doesn’t matter what she does.”
Fanny bit her lip. “But…”
“There’s nothing to argue about. You’re not allowed to speak up for her anymore.” Samuel cut her off,
feeling even more dissatisfied with Angela.
The difference between people is truly significant. Fanny’s words are always pleasant to hear, while
Angela never fails to infuriate me!
In the midst of their conversation, George urged from downstairs, “It’s almost time. Are you all ready?”
They responded and gradually made their way downstairs.
Samuel looked at Fanny with some concern and tried to cheer her up. “Alright, stop thinking about her
all the time. Today is your birthday, let’s celebrate together. James made the effort to book a private
room at the Laurel Hotel. Just tell us what you want to eat.”
Upon hearing this, Fanny smiled and playfully said, “Samuel, you all are so good to me.”
“You are my sister. Of course, I’ll be good to you.” Samuel smiled and pinched her nose.
The family happily drove to the Laurel Hotel.
At the Laurel Hotel.
When Donald and the family arrived at the hotel entrance and caught a glimpse of the grand scene
from outside the gate, they couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.
They would never dare to spend money on such a luxurious place in their daily lives. Even if they were
to simply have a meal, their monthly living expenses would probably be
gone.
Emilia observed the interior decoration with great interest and sighed. “They must be incredibly
wealthy. With the amount of money they spend on just two dishes here, we could buy several bags of
groceries at the market!”
Her voice was a bit loud, so Hecate grabbed her, and she reluctantly stopped talking.
“Please follow me. Mr. Lawson is in the private room upstairs.” Simon, who was waiting at the entrance,
recognized them and gave a slight bow before leading the way.
Once inside the hotel, the interior decoration and scenery were even more impressive. The atmosphere
was serene and luxurious without being gaudy.
Not to mention the various ornaments, they were all expensive..
Upon taking advantage of no one noticing, Emilia surreptitiously reached out and tried to put a crystal
ashtray into her pocket.
There are plenty of ashtrays around here, so it doesn’t matter if I take this one!
“Mom, what are you doing?” Hecate noticed her stuffing something into her pocket. She frowned and
spoke to Emilia in a low voice with a hint of reproach.
Although their family was not wealthy, they shouldn’t have engaged in such thieving behavior.
Emilia was stopped and reluctantly put the ashtray back in its place. “Why are you so nervous? I was
just curious and wanted to take a look.”
I just want to take it to sell and improve our family’s lives.
Hecate had a complicated look in her eyes but didn’t say anything. Deep down, she had mixed
feelings.
During the day, Angela suddenly called Hecate and said she was getting married. The former invited
Hecate and the family to come and discuss the marriage proposal with Jonathan’s family. Hecate was
shocked and thought Angela was joking.
But soon after, someone knocked on the door. Several well–dressed men said they were sent by
Jonathan to pick them up.
There were several expensive cars downstairs, clearly indicating wealth.
The groom’s family appeared quite affluent, and they couldn’t afford to have Angela embarrassed!
On the way upstairs, although Emilia didn’t engage in any more shady activities, her mouth was not
idle.
Upon thinking about Angela getting engaged to such a wealthy family, she felt a bit bitter in. her heart.
“I don’t know what Angela has to offer. She actually found someone rich and influential. In my opinion,
the groom is either disabled or much older. After all, Angela is a rejected woman…”
Upon seeing that Emilia wanted to continue speaking, Quincy interrupted coldly, “Grandma!
Wait until we meet them before saying anything.”
If the situation unfolded as Emilia suggested, he would be the first to oppose Angela marrying someone
like that.
Emilia pursed her lips and thought about Angela’s previous engagement with Christopher, speculating.
She felt that Angela didn’t seem like a reliable person. Maybe she has already done everything she
needs to do with Christopher. A girl who isn’t morally upright wouldn’t be able to find a good family. The
groom might really be an older man in his fifties or sixties, marrying Angela as his mistress. Just like
the girl downstairs in our neighborhood, being someone’s mistress.
Meanwhile, inside the private room.
Angela sat upright, obediently sitting next to Jonathan, enduring the intense scrutiny of the two elderly
people.
“Are you hungry, Angela? I’ll have some desserts brought in first for you.” Bruce smiled warmly, very
satisfied with this obedient and lovely girl in front of him.
When Jonathan said he wanted to marry Angela, Bruce was so happy that he hardly slept.
Angela was pervous and quickly waved her hand at the words. “It’s okay, Grandpa, I’m not very hungry
right now.”
Kevin caressed the jade ring on his thumb. He looked at Angela for a while and then sighed before
speaking, “Originally, you were engaged to Jon. After some twists and turns, you ended up marrying
Jon. This is a dream come true for your grandpa.”
