Chapter 180 Marriage
In that instant, Deborah felt as if she had been struck by lightning, completely clueless about what was going on.
If she remembered correctly, it was just this morning that Adrian confessed his feelings for her.
Although her attitude has already made it clear, isn’t Adrian’s change of target a bit too hasty?
No, it seems like the focus isn’t here either.
It seems like Joseph brought Evelyn over.
Joseph seemed neither surprised nor displeased with the “blind date” happening before his eyes.
With a fatherly tone, he said, “If Donna and Mr. Moxley find each other suitable, then I guess I’ve successfully played the role of a matchmaker.
I know my secretary quite well, she’s a reliable person. Although her family’s financial situation is not as good as the Moxley family’s, it’s not bad either. Her parents are in the real estate business, and they belong to a middle-class family, with an annual income of around nine figures.”
Donna’s eyes crinkled with laughter, “Not bad, not bad at all. She’s a well-behaved and sensible girl. Eve, if you can make my grandson Adrian happy, I’ll be truly delighted and at ease.”
Adrian hadn’t said a word throughout the entire process, but as he saw things were about to be settled, he finally spoke up in frustration.
“Grandma, didn’t you even bother to ask for my opinion? Did I ever say yes?”
Donna shot a sharp glance and reached out to grab the walking cane that was resting nearby.
She lowered her voice, “How could you not agree? Mr. Black is Ms. Shepherd’s boyfriend. I, an old lady, may not be aware, but you surely must have heard. If you dare to find fault with Eve again, I’ll settle both old and new scores with you.”
Donna spoke through gritted teeth, keeping her voice extremely low.
After quickly finishing what he had to say, he continued to look at Evelyn with a beaming smile.
As Donna looked up, she noticed that Deborah had entered the room.
Donna immediately greeted with a smile, “Ms. Shepherd, come, come, sit down. I apologize for last night, I didn’t know Mr. Black was your
lover.
Mr. Black just brought Eve over. Can you help Grandma take a look and see if she and Adrian make a good match?”
Deborah glanced at Joseph, who immediately shifted his position guiltily. “Debby, come sit. Where have you been? You bought so many
things.”
Deborah wore a forced smile, not wanting to say anything in front of others.
But she didn’t sit next to Joseph; instead, she chose to sit beside Evelyn.
She replied to Donna, “Donna, Mr. Moxley and Evelyn make a great couple.”
Donna smiled with relief and said, “I knew they were a good match. Hearing all of you say this, I can rest assured now.”
Adrian couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up abruptly and said, “I’ll be straightforward, I have no interest in this Evelyn.
I like Deborah, and I plan to pursue her. As for her relationship with Mr. Black, I don’t think it will affect my intentions.”
Donna was so furious that she grabbed her cane and hit him, exclaiming. “What on earth is wrong with you? Ms. Shepherd and Mr. Black have been together for ages! You’re making a fool of yourself and embarrassing us all!”
The living room quickly turned into a chaotic scene, with Adrian hopping around to dodge while loudly protesting.
As Donna hit, she cursed angrily.
A large group of housekeepers hurried over, trying to calm both Donna and Adrian.
Deborah hesitated, wondering if she should step in and help. Alyssa, standing beside her, grabbed her arm and said. “Mommy, don’t worry about it. Things like this happen every couple of days.”
Donna watched with growing frustration, but in reality, she knew how to control her strength.
If someone else steps forward to stop it, it might actually become even more lively.
Deborah didn’t interfere anymore and sat on the couch, texting and chatting with Evelyn.
It wrote: [Eve, are you really into Adrian?]
