That woman is full of greed and deception! She has been scheming against me since the beginning. Who knows how many times she and her father had forced my hands? I must have hated her so much that I thought about her just now!
Gareth suppressed his emotions with all his might.
Darren looked at him coldly. “What do you mean? When are you planning to get engaged? You need to give me a specific date. Otherwise, you’ll keep the Benett family waiting. How can you be so irresponsible?”
“Everyone expects you and Linda to get married, but you keep delaying the matter. Do you know how this will look for them? You may be thick-skinned, but I can’t bear the humiliation! I have had a sterling reputation all my life. Don’t ruin it for me! Stop behaving like a scoundrel!”
“Grandma is still unwell.”
Darren snorted. “Your grandmother is unwell, but she wishes for you to remarry Elisa. Since you don’t want to marry that greedy and devious woman, you can never fulfill her wish. So what can you do to make her better?”
Gareth had nothing to say.
Monica nodded in agreement. “That’s right. In this situation, you should get married if you wish to help your grandmother recover. Once you have a child, it would make her happy.”
Gareth was seated at his office desk with a pen in his right hand. He paused for a moment before signing a document and remained silent all this while.
Darren was rendered speechless.
Monica was indignant. But before she could say anything, Gareth replied flatly, “Have it on the tenth of next month.”
Monica and Darren were surprised. They did not expect to convince him so easily.
Did we misjudge him about not wanting to marry Linda?
