Chapter 221
Maria, how many times have I told you not to drop your cutlery at the dinner table? It’s simply ill- mannered Elspeth chastised Marilla sternly
“Oh, come on, it’s just a fork! Must you yell at the child?” He doted on his granddaughter, came to Maria’s defense
Elspeth’s hand clenched under the table. It seemed that in front of him, even breathing was a mistake.
Im done eating “Marilla, her cheeks burning in embarrassment, mumbled before hurriedly leaving the table
As Marilla left. Thaddeus watched her, deep in thought. Meanwhile, a satisfied smirk played on Glynnis ps
She thought, “Marilla, you could have lived a quiet life at home, without having to face such humiliation. Unfortunately, you overstepped boundaries and messed with my man, so it’s only right that I teach you a lesson. Let’s see who is the apple of our parents eyes, and who is worthy of Mr. Jarethit
“Wait. Jareth?” Hamition looked puzzled thought Jareth was keen on lana.”
Everyone else at the table turned green at his words. It felt like a flock of crows had just flown over their heads.
Thaddeus was in the middle of sipping his water when Hamiltion’s words made him choke. He coughed violently, almost spitting out his water
“Grandpa, how can Mr. Jareth possibly like Evadne?” Glynnis burst out angrily, her face red with fury.
Didn’t he show interest in lana? I may be eighty, but my eyes and ears are still sharp. I noticed how attentive Jareth was to lana at my birthday party. He was so attached to her that t seemed like he wanted to glue himself to her. He’s likely to be one of those husbands who can’t live without his wife”
His sharp gaze then turned to Thaddeus, 1 was even thinking of matching llana with Jareth. The Fairhaven family is a good match for llana. Most importantly, Jareth treats lana very well If lana and Jareth get together, they would definitely live a comfortable and joyous fe
Comfortable, joyous? How could Jareth and Evadne ever lead such a ide?
Thaddeus felt like crushing the cup in his hand.
“Grandpa Aml your granddaughter or is Evadne?” Glynnis was on the verge of tears 7 am the one who likes Mr. Jareth now, not Evadne! Shouldn’t you be supporting me? Why would you want to pair him with her?”
Do you like Jareth? But does Jareth like you?” Hamiltion questioned her sternly.
Glynnis was at a loss for words.
“That night at my birthday party, I saw how Jareth treated you. Did you two even tak? Did Jareth even glance at you?”
Glynnis clenched her teeth in humiliation, but she couldn’t refute his words. They were true.
“We cant force a relationship, Glynnis. It won’t be sweet if it’s forced. And with Jareth’s fiery temper, you two will be at each other’s throats within days of getting married.” ‘Grandpa Glynnis was close to tears
“Dad, don’t pressure Glynnis like this. It’s not fair to ask a prt such questions “Frederic intervened, Jareth does care about Clyninis. He even made a special trip to our house to talk to her Elspeth and I
sawt”
Glynn’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of that day She knew Jareth despised her, but so what? Once she married him, she would slowly win him over with her charm “Is that so?” Hamition stroked his chin thoughtfully
“Yes, Dad”Elspeth chipped in, “Mr. Jareth is a very distinguished man. When his he ever made the effort visit a young lady at her house? His visit to Glynnis shows his interest in her And dad, even though you want to match Evadne with Mr. Jareth, Ive heard that Evade is seeing someone else
At this. Thaddeus looked sharply at Elspeth, His icy gaze sent a chill down Fhr spine, but she continued ts Mr. Avery, the youngest son of the Chambers Group”
Hamition was shocked, “Hana has a boyfriend? Who?”
It’s Avery Chambers, the youngest son of the Chambers Group,” Elspeth replied hastily
This information had come from Acacia However, Glynnis had also mentioned that Evadne and Avery were close. True or not, it was enough to dispel Hamilton’s notions of matching Evadne with Jareth.
Evadne and Avery are not a thing”
Thaddeus couldn’t hold back any longer, he slammed down his cup, his handsome face shadowed
“But I’ve heard that they’ve been on more than one private rendezvous. They’ve been to the Rose Garden, to concerts.”
if say they’re not dating, they’re not
Thaddeuss dark eyes simmered with restrained anger, his icy gaze piercing Elspeth Elspeth, I hope in the future you won’t make assumptions without knowing the full story. Evadne is a lady, and currently
the heiress of the Ashbourne family, the general manager of K Hotel. Your spreading such rumors can harm her reputation NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Elspeth was left speechless by her stepson’s rebuke, her lps twitching with anger.
“Thaddeus! Is this how you speak to your elders? What do you mean?”
Before Frederic could finish his sentence, Thaddeus stood up, his aura chilly. T’m done eating, enjoy your meals.”
Hamultion watched his grandson aform off, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully
Thaddeus was full of irritation. He pulled at his tie in frustration and walked out to the garden for some fresh air.
Ever since his grandfather mentioned pairing Jareth with Evadne, his heart had been on edge, as if sitting on pins and needles
When Elspeth mentioned that Evadne might be with Avery, he felt the air around him thin. If he sat any longer, he would suffocate
Thaddeus frowned deeply, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and took one out to smoke
The more he thought about it, the angrier and more flustered he became. He pulled out his phone and dialed Jareth.
“Thad, you finally remembered to contact me
Jareth’s voice was still lazy, filled with a hint of a grudge. “Ever since I got food poisoning you haven’t even come to see me. Have you found a new playmate?”
1 need to tell you something “Thaddeus took a deep breath. “The Abernathy couple has intentions to arrange a marriage for Glynnis with you.”
“Holy shit
Jareth jumped up from the other end of the line, cursing “Really, but isn’t it a bit too much to drag me in? What’s the deal with this arrangement?” Thaddeus narrowed his eyes. “Do you really care who you marry? Haven’t you said that it doesn’t matter who you marry? They’re just a showpiece” 1 did say that, but ”
To why can’t you marry Glynnis? She likes you, and marrying into the Abernathy family wouldn’t be a loss for you.”
It’s not that Bro, you know what Glynne is like, right? You’re not just playing matchmaker You’re pushing me into a shit pit!”
She may be a troublemaker, but you’re the devil. After all every rogue has his match. She can’t trick you.” Thaddeus took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaling a plure of smoke Jareth, no
Avery, hell nat
His heart clenched, he gritted his teeth unwillingly
He felt like a fly swatter swinging around Evadne, trying to shoo away all the pests that circled her
