Chapter 74 You Understand Nothing!
With that, Monica snorted out laughing. “They might even get married faster than Gareth!”
Thud!
With a dark expression on his face, Gareth placed his chopsticks on the table.
The rest of the table looked at him, perplexed.
Monica returned to her senses and said, “Son, it’s not worth getting angry over her. Now that you have Linda, you have to take into account her feelings as well. She is a great woman who is smart and generous – a perfect match to be your wife.”
Darren also nodded approvingly. “That’s right. We will have to work with the Benett family continuously from now onward. If you marry her, it would be perfect.”
Gareth’s frown had never eased all this while. “We’re in a critical juncture now, and I have a lawsuit to attend two days later. Let’s revisit this topic later.”
Julia could not help give another sigh. Even though she did not support the divorce, the remaining family were determined to make that a reality, so there was no use in her objection at all.
Even if I force the couple to stay together, or even if they take my feelings into account and decide to stay together, would they be happy in their marriage?
Darren nodded. “Well, I’m not asking you to get married immediately – it won’t make us look good as well. But you can start preparing for the wedding in two to three months’ time.”
Gareth’s lips were pursed into a thin line. “Let’s talk about this later. You guys go ahead with the meal, I’m full.”
With that, he got up. Upon seeing their gazes, he explained morosely, “I have to get back to work, so I’ll leave first.”
Monica quickly stood up. “Gareth. You–”
Ignoring her, he walked out of the room without even a second glance.
Darren frowned upon seeing his behavior. “I have no idea what he is up to. Since he’s divorced, he should be ready to marry another woman. Also, doesn’t he have feelings for that Linda woman?”
“What the hell do you understand?” Julia exploded, not able to suppress her anger anymore. Throwing her cutlery on the table, she screeched, “It’s all about money for you! Where did your feelings go? I must have been blind to marry you back then!”
“What tantrum are you throwing today?” Darren’s face immediately darkened.
“Sooner or later, you will pay the price for your arrogance and indifference!” With that, Julia stormed upstairs.
“You–” He felt humiliated by her, seeing how she yelled at him in front of their daughter-in-law.
Monica merely sighed. “Dad, both you and Mom are getting older now. Let’s not quarrel.”
“Am I the one who picks the fight? It’s clearly your mom!”
He had completely lost his appetite, so he also got up. “I’m going for a walk.”
In just a few minutes, Monica was the only person left on the dining table, and the food was barely touched.
She did not look too pleased as well. Though she was in her fifties, time was merciful to her. She looked like a woman in her thirties, and her allure was still intact.
Nevertheless, she was quite dominant, and her relationship with Gareth’s father, Jerry Wickam, was a rocky one as well. He was constantly busy with work trips, and did not care much about her. Their marriage was a marriage of convenience – they did not fall in love with each other at all.
Hence, even though Monica’s position in the Wickam family was quite reputable, she had never felt familial warmth and love from them.
Julia was the only person who treated her quite well.
No matter what, I must make Gareth marry Linda. I’ve interacted with her multiple times – she’s decent. She has her own plots and schemes, and she is smart. More importantly, she likes Gareth. Because of that, she will devise plans for him. With that thought in mind, Monica pursed her lips.ter
