Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 615

Chapter 615

Louis walked in awkwardly and nodded slightly. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Cruise.”

Judging from his expression, he must have heard their previous conversation.

However, Bertha did not look embarrassed after getting eavesdropped on. Instead, she looked at Louis self-righteously. “Why are you here?”

“My grandfather said that he hasn’t been feeling well recently. I’m afraid he can’t attend engagement ceremony with Olivia…”.

Hearing this, Bertha looked at Richard profoundly.

Her gaze seemed to be implicating that what she said was correct.

Richard’s face fell immediately. “Louis, you and Olivia’s engagement is a big thing. Everyone will be unhappy if Old Mr. Smith can’t come personally.”

Who knew how many people would laugh at the Cruise family behind their backs if the news got out?

Pursing his lips, Louis was at a loss of words to explain.

Right then, Olivia stood up and walked to Louis’s side. She held his hand and looked at her own parents. “Dad, Mom, this is just an engagement party. We will still have a wedding ceremony in the future. Even if Grandpa Smith doesn’t attend, other people are here to give us their blessings. Don’t make things difficult for Louis over such a small matter.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Cruise, don’t worry. I won’t let Olivia suffer in the future,” Louis promised solemnly.

“I’ve raised you for nothing all these years! Who am I doing this for? It’s all for you!” Bertha pretended to be angry and glared at Olivia. “No matter what, Old Mr. Smith is an elder in the family. How can he not participate? He clearly has a problem with you and refuses to acknowledge you as his granddaughter-in-law! If word gets out, you will become a laughing stock! Don’t you understand the impact of being destroyed by gossip?”

However, Olivia smiled innocently and snuggled into Louis’s arms. “I don’t care about all this. The person I’m going to marry is Louis. As long as we can be together, I’m satisfied.”

“You!” Bertha knocked her head in exasperation. “How did I give birth to such a disappointing daughter like you? I’m done with you!”

She snorted and turned to leave.

Richard smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Bertha doesn’t mean anything else. She only feels sorry for you. After all, you know how innocent she is.”

After the two left, only Olivia and Louis were left in the dressing room.

Olivia facepalmed herself and smiled sweetly at Louis.

Her smile broke Louis’s heart. He held Olivia’s hand and said, “Olivia, don’t worry. I will never let you down in this life.”

“Of course, I know that.” Olivia stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.

Coincidentally, Olivia’s phone rang at this moment. When she saw it was Marina calling, her eyes flickered with joy.

Suppressing her ecstasy and excitement, she picked up the phone. “Marina.”

“Olivia, I just got off the plane,” Marina explained in a lukewarm tone. “The cabinet meeting is about to begin, so I’ll be away for a while. I can’t attend your engagement ceremony today, but I’ve sent someone to prepare a gift for you.”

The reason why Olivia insisted on asking Marina to participate in her wedding ceremony was nothing more than to save her face in front of others.

She thought it was a pity that Marina could not attend the engagement ceremony.

However, it was also a great honor for the Cruise family that she had sent someone to prepare a gift.

As long as the Smith family and outsiders could feel how much Marina valued her, it was enough for Olivia.

Olivia said gently, “Thank you, Marina.”

“Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”
