Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife novel Chapter 56

Ever since Zoey heard that James liked men, she had been worried about her grandson.

She chose a girl that she liked with great difficulty. And James also promised to get engaged in a month. But suddenly he wanted to postpone the engagement.

Worrying that he was fooling her again, Zoey felt unwell and even had to be sent to the hospital. She even had to cover her chest with her hand every day.

"I'm old, and I don't know how long I can live. If I can't witness you get married, I don't know how to face your grandfather after I die."

"Mom, you are in good health. As long as you rest well, you will definitely live up to a hundred years old!" Emily, the second daughter of the Hemming family, comforted her.

Emily was James's aunt and Emma's mother.

After her divorce, she returned to the Hemming family and worked in the SA Group. Hearing that Zoey had been sent to the hospital, she came in a hurry.

Zoey had four children, a daughter, and three sons.

Marcos, the first son, had a daughter, who also joined the SA Group after graduating from University, but she was working abroad. Emily was the second child. At first, she got married for the sake of a marriage alliance. Later, the marriage failed and she chose to divorce and brought her daughter back to the Hemming family.

James's father, Quentin, was the third child. Quentin didn't know anything about the family business and only cared about antiques. Eli's father, Elias, was the fourth child. Because he worked in the near city, he had moved out.

In the Hemming family, it seemed that Marcos was the master, but the SA Group was in the control of James. Thus, he was the one who had the real power. He did not care about some details in the family. But if there was something important, it could only be carried out when he agreed.

As a result, the rest of the Hemmings complained about this for a long time and even secretly set many traps for James.

James didn't care about these. As long as they didn't touch his bottom line, it was fine for them to make a fuss.

"Mom, you'll definitely be alright. James's wife hasn't served you yet!" Marcos's wife said with a smile.

"Don't comfort me. Life is unpredictable. Maybe I'll suddenly die like your Dad. James, while I'm still alive, you should get engaged as soon as possible!" Zoey's attitude was firm.

Listening to Grandma's nagging, James helplessly pinched his eyebrows and discussed with her.

"Grandma, in four months, I will attend the engagement banquet. A month later, I will be on a business trip."

Ever since his grandfather died, his grandmother was the only one that was close to him in the family. He could not refuse any of her requests.

"You can leave your business to someone else. When I asked you to go on a blind date a few times ago, you agreed at first, but then you ruined it with all sorts of excuses. James, don't try to fool me this time."

Zoey had become smart. She looked stern and didn't want to compromise.

James's face was gloomy and terrifying. He swept his gaze across the other people and found that Emily was dodging his gaze.

Someone must have encouraged Zoey to say "leave your business to someone else". As for who it was, he already knew.

"Grandma, what about this? Four months later, if I won't get engaged, I will resign from the SA Group to focus on finding a girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, the rest of the Hemmings were all astonished. They exchanged glances and looked so eager.

"James, what nonsense are you talking about? I think Kathleen is fine. You should get engaged as soon as possible. This month is good." It was James's mother who reminded him not to be confused.

Many people coveted the position of president of SA Group. Since he said this, something would definitely happen.

"Mom, since James has promised to you, I believe he's ready to get engaged in four months." Marcos's wife said with a smile.

"That's right, Mom. James is too busy with his work. Even if he suddenly gets engaged, he still needs a vacation, like a honeymoon. It also takes time."

Emily also smiled. She always stood opposite to James. Today, she finally stood up for him.

"To hold the engagement in a month is too hurried. We can arrange it as soon as possible from now on. The engagement in four months will definitely be grand."

"What you said makes sense, but a month later is the best time in this year. We can't waste it." James's mother gritted her teeth angrily. She understood what others were planning.

"It's said that the engagement time is very important. James is too busy, and we can't let the girl feel wronged. It's better to prepare slowly."

Gracie smiled and took a step forward, blocking Zoey from looking at James' mother.
