43 The Future Mrs. Wright
“How is that possible? Mr. Wright is going to marry Miss Xavier.”
“It’s said that Mr. Wright’s grandfather doesn’t like Miss Xavier and doesn’t approve their marriage.”
“What?” A maid covered her mouth in surprise and said in a low voice, “Really? Now Ms. Gabriel appears, and Matthew really likes her. Does this mean…?”
“Behave yourself and be respectful. Maybe she will become the lady of the house.”
Anna was busy eating with the two children. She didn’t know that Matthew’s friendly attitude towards her had aroused the servants’ wild imagination and labelled her as the future Mrs. Wright.
It was already three o’clock when the meetings were over, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Gabe had already ordered some food for him and put it on the table in his office.
“Mr. Wright, why don’t you eat first? I will put the copy of the meeting minutes in your computer later.”
Wayne pinched between his eyebrows and slightly nodded, exhausted. He had been working nonstop and hadn’t eaten anything since seven in the morning.
After resting for a while, Wayne called home. He put his phone aside and opened the speaker while eating.
His butler quickly answered and asked respectfully, “Mr. Wright, have you finished your meetings?”
“Yeah, just finished. How are things at home?”
“Everything has been fine. Please rest assured. Ms. Gabriel and Matthew are having a good time. Her daughter also gets along well with him.”
While they were talking, Wayne heard Tammy’s laughter on the other end of the phone.
“Matthew, your toy is really funny. Hahahaha.”
Although he didn’t hear Matthew’s voice, he could naturally imagine how happy Matthew was with Tammy’s happy laughter. Wayne soon stopped frowning.
“Well, look out for the children.”
“Mr. Wright, do you still need to work? Ms. Gabriel asked me whether you were coming for dinner.”
“No, I’ve had plan tonight.”
Wayne said calmly, “I’ll go back after dinner. If I’m too late, remember to tell the driver to send Anna and her daughter home.”
Hanging up the phone, he was overwhelmed by mixed feelings. Holding the fork and
ing at the delicious food, he suddenly lost his appetite. Somehow, he thought of the food that Anna brought to the hospital last weekend. She must be preparing for dinner now. She will definitely cook by herself though there are lots of servants in the house. What will they eat tonight?
“Mr. Wright, the restaurant said they forgot the soup. It has just been sent here.” Gabe suddenly knocked on the door and came in, with an insulated food box in his hand.
Wayne stared at the silver food box and suddenly put down the fork. He suddenly stood up, “Gabe, cancel the dinner for me. I don’t want to go.”
With one hand on the door, Wayne was astonished by the scene. Matthew had always been a quiet boy. But now he was rolling on the trampoline with Tammy. He was wearing a Spider-Man costume and made the Spider-Man iconic hand gesture once in a while. Did my son really break his arm?
She didn’t see that there was a man at the door because she was still looking at the children from the corner of her eyes, and then she collided with him.
