The Three Little Guardian Angels novel Chapter 864

Chapter 864

Nathaniel asked tentatively, “Elder Master Boucher, about the marriage between Zee and Francisco…”

.

Richard took a sip of tea and responded indifferently, “Mr. Hannigan, you should know that Ms. Hannigan will get married to the Bouchers only because of the baby that she has conceived. Considering Ms. Hannigan’s reputation in the past, we’ll get the two kids to get engaged first. As for the wedding ceremony, it’ll be held during the spring of next year.”

‘The next year?

Mr. and Mrs. Hannigan looked at each other, and Mrs. Hannigan said, “Isn’t it a little too late for it to be scheduled for next year? Wouldn ‘t the baby in Zee’s belly be a little too obvious to the eyes of outsiders by then?” How could Nathaniel not understand what Richard meant?

The Bouchers obviously disliked his daughter’s previous reputation, not to mention that they had tried to marry their daughter to Helios just a little earlier.

And of course, after being rejected by Helios, his daughter had changed her target to Francisco almost immediately, which was indeed a rather unpleasant thing to do.

Besides, his daughter was already pregnant. Francisco scoffed. “I think my grandfather’s idea is quite thoughtful. If we were to get married right away when the child isn’t mine, to begin with, wouldn’t I be taken advantage of?”

Maizie’s face turned pale, and she pursed her lips tightly and did not utter a single word. Nathaniel’s expression did not look too good, while Mrs. Hannigan felt sorry for her daughter and fought for her. “Mr.

Boucher, how could you say that about Zee? If Zee wasn’t pregnant with your child, then why would Zee come to your house with us? That’s quite an irresponsible thing to say, isn’t it?”

Richard put the teacup down. “You can leave that to us. We’ll decide whether the baby is Francisco’s child or not when the time comes. If so, the Bouchers will never treat Ms. Hannigan shabbily. After all, the baby that she’s carrying will be one of the descendants of the Bouchers.” He then raised his head and looked at the Hannigans. “The wedding ceremony will be set for next year. This is also to test whether Ms. Hannigan can become someone that qualifies as the granddaughter-in-law of the Bouchers. As long as we don’t see any scandals that are related to Ms. Hannigan within half a year after the engagement. I’ll recognize Ms. Hannigan and take her in personally.”

Mr. and Mrs. Hannigan could not say anything more. “Since you’ve made up your mind, we won’t say anything more.”

Richard then looked at Maizie with a keen gaze. “Ms. Hannigan, will you be willing to accept my arrangements?” Maizie returned to her senses and forced a smile. “Yes.” ‘All he wants is zero scandals coming from me for half a year, isn’t it? I’ll be considered the future second young mistress of the

Bouchers as long as I get engaged to Francisco!’

Eugene looked at his father after the Hannigans left the manor. “Father, how did you come up with the idea of delaying the wedding ceremony?”
