Chapter 108 The Sham Continues
Matthew immediately glanced at Tiana after Hector’s worrying reaction. Why did he faint after I brought over his desired granddaughter-in-law? He and Tiana rushed over to check on Hector. Frightened, Tiana muttered, Hector, Hector. Are you okay?”
I’m supposed to win him over. Why is the old man reacting like this? Matthew hovered on the side while a doctor tried to resuscitate Hector. “How is my grandfather?” he asked anxiously.
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief after completing his examination. “He’ll be okay, Mr. Hilton. Hector’s breathing stuttered because he was agitated. He should recover in no time.”
Upon hearing the report, Chelsea wiped her tears, worried to death over Hector’s condition. Why is he so agitated after seeing the eldest Ms. Wade? I don’t know what he sees in Tiana at all, but what can I do? Hector’s weak, and whoever he wants Matthew to marry, Matthew will bow to his every whim. I can’t object to anything if I want him to stay happy and alive. Meanwhile, Matthew took his grandfather’s fainting episode as a sign of the latter’s excitement at seeing Tiana, and his expression cooled.
It seems I have to proceed with this fake marriage. Hector eventually opened his eyes. When he saw Tiana, his eyes rolled into his head again. Everyone panicked and yelled,
“Hector!”
“Gradpa!”
“Hector!”
Noticing Chelsea’s grief, Tiana gingerly sat beside the old woman and offered, “I bought some skincare products for you, Old Mrs. Hilton. They’re suitable for your age group.” Chelsea glanced at Tiana. She looks average to me, but I can’t say anything if Hector likes her. Then, Chelsea nodded lightly and mumbled, “Thank you. You’re too generous.” Matthew and Tiana had dinner with Chelsea, who got up midway to check if Hector had eaten anything. When they were alone, Matthew piped up, “I’ll send my chauffeur for you when I need you to act as my girlfriend.
You don’t need to go to the office anymore. If you’re unwilling to keep up this act, I can dissolve the contract any time.” He would not force her to proceed with this sham of courtship, even if it pleased Hector.
Tiana was already delighted to be in his presence, and she was hardly going to relinquish any opportunity to insert herself in Matthew’s life. Hence, she sputtered, “I’m fine with keeping this up, Matthew. Perfectly fine.”
Matthew raised his left hand and checked the time on his exorbitant watch. “It’s late. I’ll ask my chauffeur to send you home.”
Fearful of Matthew dissolving their contract, Tiana jumped to her feet and replied, “Okay, I’ll leave now, Matthew. Please call me if you need me. Anytime.’
