_1 Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: We are all family, why act like a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
_1 “n should be completely submissive to their wives and always abide by their words,” said the Old Madam, “What the wife says is always correct.
Rest assured.”
Mrs.
Lewis: “…”
This Old Madam is such a smooth talker.
She said everything Mrs.
Lewis wanted to say, leaving Mrs.
...
Lewis feeling bitter in her heart.
It’s a forced marriage!
“The two will definitely not argue.” Peggy Lewis is always correct, she listens to everything you say, how can they fight then!
Mrs.
Lewis gave up, and directly asked: “What are your plans?”
Since the Old Madam has already suggested they should date first and not rush into marriage, Mrs.
Lewis felt slightly relieved.
But she has an intuition that things are not that simple.
Sure enough, the Old Madam then suggested, “They can get engaged first!
They’ll be fiancés, it’s not like getting married, they can still be in love.”
Mrs.
Lewis: “…”
Look at you throwing words around.
Even after getting married, they can still be in love.
But Mrs.
Lewis felt too timid to vocalize her thoughts.
“Once engaged, we can feel more secure.” the Old Madam said, “Look, with Lyke having a fiancée, Peggy has a fiancé, they can get married anyti they want.
It feels so reassuring!”
Indeed, Mrs.
Lewis also feels tempted by what the Old Madam is saying.
She had always worried about Peggy’s marriage.
Now there finally seems like a good opportunity.
Getting engaged really feels more reassuring.
However, as eager as Mrs.
Lewis seems to be, once Peggy has a potential match, Mrs.
Lewis suddenly doesn’t rush anymore.
She would prefer Peggy to slow down and take the ti to get to know him.
It would be better than marrying and then regretting it.
No matter how good the conditions of the other party may be, Peggy needs to have a harmonious life with him and they must be a suitable match for each other.
“Okay.” Mrs.
Lewis agreed.
A formal encounter of both families was arranged for so day soon.
But to Mrs.
Lewis’ surprise, the Old Madam went on, “Since that’s settled, how about we visit you today?”
Mrs.
Lewis: “…”
“You an, you, the Old Master, and Lyke’s father?” Mrs.
Lewis asked tentatively.
God, please don’t let it be just as she imagines.
She was not ntally prepared for this.
The pressure would be too high.
“Yeah, isn’t Lyke coming to your house today?
Why don’t we all et?” the Old Madam happily suggested.
It seed she couldn’t wait to seal the deal today.
Mrs.
Lewis: “…”
How should she refuse?
It’s tough to do so.
But, this is way too abrupt.
It’s not that she doesn’t want them to co over.
However, she needs so ti to tidy up, right?
And this sudden plan jumbled everything, they didn’t have enough groceries at ho.
She had to rush to the market imdiately.
Mrs.
Lewis already started planning inside her head.
Unexpectedly, Old Madam changed her tone, “But suddenly coming over today indeed seems abrupt.
This would also disrupt your plans for today.
That’s quite impolite.”
Mrs.
Lewis: “…”
Imdiately after, the Old Madam suggested, “How about we et tomorrow?”
“You see, tomorrow is Sunday, we all have ti and the kids also have a break.
This would provide a perfect occasion for us to have lunch together and finalize the engagent.” the Old Madam proposed.
“That sounds fine.” Mrs.
Lewis said reluctantly.
“Then let’s call it a day.” the Old Madam happily declared, “Tomorrow at 11:30 am, let’s et at the hotel!
Once you’re there, just ntion Lyke’s na and they’ll guide you to the right room.”
Old Madam even fixed the ti.
If Mrs.
Lewis is asked to believe that this was decided on the spot, she’ll not buy it.
She felt that she had been tricked by the Old Madam.
“Is noon alright?” the Old Madam asked again.
“No problem at all.” What else could Mrs.
Lewis say apart from giving in?
She felt that if she denied now, Old Madam will have more strategies ready.
“Being older, we have a habit of going to bed early.
If we arrange it in the evening, we may not have enough ti for a long chat.” the Old Madam explained.
“Noon is the perfect ti.
We can chat the whole afternoon.
There’s plenty of ti.” Old Madam proposed.
“That sounds fair enough.” Mrs.
Lewis was all numb by now.
She agreed to whatever the Old Madam said.
“Alright, let’s call it a day.” the Old Madam finally ended the conversation.
At this point, Mrs.
Lewis was completely drained of energy: “Alright, I am going to give Lyke back his phone.”
“Oh, okay.”
Mrs.
Lewis returned the mobile to Lyke and was too exhausted to even utter a word.
Having barely put his phone to his ear, Lyke said, “Auntie.”
“Alright, everything is set up now.
We will finalize the engagent at the hotel tomorrow.” Old Madam pronounced, “We won’t be there today.
Handle things carefully at Peggy’s host!”
Lyke: “…”
So, it’s all fixed?
How did the Old Madam manage to do it?
He really wanted to learn her technique.
“Got to hang up now.” Old Madam declared.
Having gotten the granddaughter-in-law, Lyke beca insignificant to her.
The Old Madam impatiently ended the call.
Lyke: “…”
When Mrs.
Lewis asked Lyke “Did she hang up so soon?
Didn’t she want to talk more with the Old Madam?”
Mrs.
Lewis was desperate to witness others being manipulated by Old Madam in a conversation just like she was.
If that was the case, Mrs.
Lewis’ mind would be at peace.
“There was nothing else to say, so I hung up.” Lyke responded.
Mrs.
Lewis: “…”
So, this ans she was the only one being tricked?
“You both spoke for so long just now.
What exactly did the Old Madam say to you?” Curious, Mr.
Lewis inquired.
Mr.
Lewis didn’t want Peggy to be deceived so easily.
He was inherently distrustful of Lyke.
Now Mrs.
Lewis felt even more guilty.
“The Old Madam just now proposed we all et at a hotel tomorrow…
to discuss…
the engagent of Lyke and Peggy.” Mrs.
Lewis, worried, spoke up.
Mr.
Lewis: “…”
“Engagent…?
Even before they properly transition to a relationship?” Mr.
Lewis was shocked, “How did they already reach the engagent stage?
Haven’t they just started dating?”
Mr.
Lewis then turned to Lyke and Peggy, “Did you guys know about this?”
Especially, when he glared at Lyke, he seed to be looking at a thief!
A thief who was just about to whisk away his precious daughter!
Peggy was also surprised and turned to look at Lyke, “Engagent?”
Lyke didn’t expect Old Madam to be this fast.
A single call, and she managed to wrap up the engagent.
However, he genuinely didn’t know about it beforehand.
He put on an innocent look, “I don’t know either, what is Old Madam up to?”
No matter how much he feigned innocence, neither Mr.
Lewis nor Mrs.
Lewis believed him.
We are all family, who are you pretending to be, a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
“Hehe.” Mr.
Lewis burst into scornful laughter.
Even Mrs.
Lewis was speechless now.
“I really didn’t know.” Lyke felt so wronged.
