Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 38

Upon hearing the greeting, the Hinton family turned around.

They became embarrassed when the realised it was their acquaintances calling out to them.

It does seem as if that which you fear most would come to pass.

The people calling out to them were people they were familiar with.

They were Daniel's colleagues, Lawrence Herbert and his son, William.

Speaking of which, the two families had some history.

Lawrence was the assistant director of the hospital where Daniel worked.

Lawrence was once interested in setting William up with Lacey.

The problem was that William was not only quite unattractive in appearance. He was also uninterested in learning and improving himself besides being unemployed.

Naturally, Daniel and Lacey did not agree to this arrangement.

Unfortunately, Lawrence took this to heart and would find fault with Daniel at every opportunity to make work difficult for him at the hospital.

If Lawrence saw the family being driven away by the hotel staff, he would definitely gossip about the incident with the colleagues at the hospital.

Daniel worried he would be given a bad name and embarrassed at work.

Lawrence Herbert put on a smile and asked, “Daniel, what are you guys doing here?”

Daniel said perfunctorily, “Nothing much, just strolling around.”

Lawrence Herbert pointed out, “Just strolling around brings you to this grand hotel's entrance? You're not thinking of eating here, are you?

Having his fib pointed out to be a lie, Daniel felt even more embarrassed. He could not find anything to say.

Zeke quickly helped Daniel out. “Dad and mom were tired of strolling. So, I invited them here for a meal.”

Dad and mom?

William, who had been so focused on Lacey, now noticed Zeke's presence.

His eyes were full of rivalry.

“Lacey, this is your new intended?”

Lacey nodded.

William Herbert grew even more upset.

This chap's dressing looks cheap. He's not good-looking and is way below my qualities. What does Lacey even see in him?

With the intention of insulting Zeke, he said, “As far as I know, you need a membership card to enter this restaurant. Do you have one?”

Zeke shook his head. “No.”

This restaurant belonged to the Schneider family. In effect, he was the owner. He does not need a membership card to enter.

Pfft!
