Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Three Letters and Six Etiquettes, Four Betrothal Gifts and Five Types of Gold
Bride price?
But she clearly explained everything to Alexander Knox last night. Even if he didn’t agree to break up, he shouldn’t be sending bride price now!
Aria Richardson furrowed her eyebrows, her face full of surprise.
“Aria? Aria?”
Isla Sue, not hearing her response, called out twice, and Aria reacted suddenly, “Mom, don’t accept the bride price yet. I’ll be back imdiately.”
“Don’t accept? Why?” Isla was puzzled.
The two families had originally been discussing the marriage. Now that they’ve brought over the bride price, there’s no way they could send it back, right?
Otherwise, where would that leave the Knox Family’s dignity!
“Aria, tell honestly, are there problems between you and Alexander?” Isla keenly sensed sothing was off.
“I ntioned breaking up with him last night…”
“What?” Isla’s voice instantly rose, “Why? How could you speak such nonsense? Alexander is such a great guy. How could you just break up like that…”
“Mom, listen…”
“Don’t act impulsively, is it because of his mom? Or sothing else? Breaking up is not a small matter. You need to think it through…”
“Mom! Mom! Listen to …”
“Listen to what? Hurry back. Such a big matter, you must discuss it with your dad and …”
Aria took a deep breath, clenched her eyebrows, and pushed the phone away, but Isla’s voice remained exceptionally loud.
After Isla finished her tirade, Aria finally had a chance to speak, “Mom, I’ll explain the reasons when I get back, but indeed, I did ntion separating from Alexander. Last night, Hope lent a hundred million, which I’ve repaid.”
“You!” Isla was montarily speechless with anger, “Since you’ve made it clear to them, why did they still bring the bride price here?
Moreover, Old Lady Mrs. Knox personally ca over. She’s in the living room right now. Between her words, she was expressing a wish to settle the wedding date soon.”
Aria was distressed, “What did Alexander say?”
“Alexander naturally also wants to set the wedding date soon…”
“I’m coming back imdiately.” Before Isla could finish, Aria hung up anxiously, buried her head into the blanket, and after a mont of despondency, she threw off the blanket, got out of bed, and felt dizzy, as if getting up too quickly made her extra sluggish.
But she couldn’t worry about that now. She needed to go back and prevent all of this.
Downstairs, Alitzel Williams was sitting in the living room, thrilled that Wyatt Lewis was one step closer to getting married.
Aria ca down from upstairs, and Alitzel warmly invited her for breakfast, “Aria, you’re up, go have so breakfast.”
“Aunt Williams, sorry, I won’t have breakfast now, I need to go ho for sothing. Aunt Williams, please tell Hope for . Goodbye, Aunt Williams.”
With those words, Aria dashed out like the wind.
“Oh, this child…” ran so fast.
Hope Williams ca downstairs with Baby, carrying Luke and Willow.
“Morning, Mom.”
Luke and Willow, “Morning, Grandma.”
“Oh, Little Hope, Luke, Willow, go have breakfast. Let hold Baby.”
Alitzel Williams went over to take Baby from Hope’s arms.
“Has Baby been fed?”
Hope nodded, “Yes, I fed them upstairs.”
“Great, leave it to then. Oh, by the way, Aria had so urgent matters earlier and dashed off; she asked to let you know she left first.” Alitzel rocked Baby in her arms as she inford Hope.
Hope asked, “Was she in such a hurry?”
“Yes, not sure what was so urgent. You go eat your breakfast, don’t let it get cold. Also, there’s cheese vegetable pancake made for Luke and Willow that they love, go enjoy.”
Wyatt Lewis ca downstairs, impeccably dressed in a suit, which surprised both Alitzel and Hope since they were used to his usually disheveled, pajama-clad appearance.
Previously, he would stroll down in lazy sleepwear, with a ss of hair, not caring about his image at all.
Both Alitzel and Hope had gotten accustod to his unkempt look, so seeing him in a suit was quite unexpected.
But they had to admit, he looked extrely handso.
“Morning, Mom, sister-in-law.”
Hope replied, “Morning.”
Wyatt adjusted his attire, “Mom, sister-in-law, how do I look in this suit?”
Hope gave him a once-over. Like Waylon Lewis, Wyatt had perfect proportions and a handso face, which made him look handso no matter when wearing a neat suit.
Hope wasn’t sparing in her praise, “Perfect.”
Wyatt smiled broadly, “Luke, Willow?”
Luke exclaid, “Uncle, you look so handso.”
Willow nodded, “Yep, yep, just as handso as Daddy.”
Wyatt Lewis hugged the two little ones, “Aw, you two didn’t let down.”
Wyatt Lewis glanced around the living room, seemingly looking for soone.
“What are you looking for?” Alitzel Williams saw through Wyatt’s thoughts and scoffed lightly, “Waking up so late, the girl has already left.”
“…”
It’s not even nine o’clock, how is that late?
Wyatt Lewis didn’t argue with Alitzel Williams because he knew he couldn’t win against her.
“Where is your godmother? Did you see her?”
Willow pursed her soft pink lips and said, “Godmother just left.”
“She really left?”
“Do you think I’d lie to you?” Alitzel Williams scoffed.
“So early.”
Hope Williams said, “Aria probably had sothing urgent and left early.”
Wyatt Lewis looked at the outfit he carefully put together at seven in the morning, feeling deeply disappointed.
Since when did that woman start waking up so early?
At this ti, the living room of the Richardson Family was filled with boxes and boxes of gifts being carried inside, wrapped in red cloth, boldly stacking up the entire room.
Just the betrothal gifts alone resembled an ancient royal celebration with impressive grandeur, highlighting how much the Knox Family valued Aria Richardson.
Passersby couldn’t help but glance at the Richardson Family, all astonished.
Those who didn’t know might think it was an ancient wedding.
Isla Sue and Miac Richardson stood frozen, in disbelief at the scene before them.
A sea of red stretched before them, cheerful and festive, with pink-colored RMB filling the boxes!
These betrothal gifts were truly spectacular.
Isla Sue opened her mouth, “This…”
Old Lady Mrs. Knox smiled kindly, “They should have been delivered earlier, but there were so small episodes that delayed it. I’ve heard about the trouble my daughter-in-law caused, and I’ve already reprimanded her at ho. I’m sorry for the inconvenience to Aria.”
Miac Richardson laughed so much his eyes beca slits, quickly saying, “You’re too kind, Old Lady Mrs. Knox. Aria was impulsive too. We hope you don’t mind.”
“No, no, we all know Aria is a good child. I like her too.”
Alexander Knox stood nearby in a dignified deep blue suit, seemingly noble and graceful, but with little smile on his handso face. Scanning the living room, he didn’t see Aria Richardson and asked, “Aunt, where’s Aria?”
“Aria, that cheeky girl went with Little Hope to the Lewis Family last night, but I’ve already called her back. She should be arriving soon.”
Isla Sue recalled the things Aria said on the phone to her and felt a bit guilty while listening to Alexander Knox speak.
Upon hearing that Aria went to the Lewis Family, Alexander Knox’s gaze visibly darkened.
Isla Sue wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, looking at the houseful of betrothal gifts, so grand that surely 80% of the neighbors witnessed it being carried in.
If Aria really didn’t want to marry, would they have to carry it all back? That would be a blatant insult to Alexander Knox.
This… what a situation!
Isla Sue felt overwheld.
At this mont, Alexander Knox took out a red envelope and handed it with both hands to Isla Sue, “Since Aria’s not here, please deliver this to her for .”
Isla Sue paused and looked at the envelope in front of her, “What’s this?”
“This is also a betrothal gift for Aria, there are so many that they couldn’t fit in a box.”
Isla Sue hesitated but accepted it.
Inside was a check for… two billion!
Isla Sue’s hand shook.
Two billion!
Their family’s small company probably couldn’t earn that much in a lifeti.
And that’s not all; there were those boxes of cash and a list of betrothal gifts filling an entire sheet of paper…
Miac Richardson and Isla Sue exchanged a glance, Miac Richardson’s eyes gleaming uncontrollably.
“Isla,” Old Lady Mrs. Knox called out to Isla Sue.
“Isla? Isla?”
“Huh?” Miac Richardson called Isla Sue twice before she reacted, “What is it?”
Miac Richardson said, “The Old Lady called you.”
Then Miac Richardson bead brightly at Old Lady Mrs. Knox and said, “My daughter’s getting married, Isla must be overwheld with happiness, don’t mind her, Old Lady Mrs. Knox.”
“It’s alright, it’s alright.” Old Lady Mrs. Knox patted Isla Sue’s hand gently, “Today I’m also here to set the date for the engagent banquet and wedding for the two children.”
