Chapter 415 Not Quite Satisfied with the Son–in–Law
Greta was no fool.
While William’s answers understated his wealth, she could tell that his demeanor wasn’t something that could cultivate with just a
little money.
“Well, that’s good. That’s good. You’ve been together for three years, so you must know each other well. I suppose I was just
being a bit too unnecessary,” Greta said.
William wasn’t one to beat around the bush. He suddenly reached for Emelie’s hand. “I just proposed to Eme, and she said yes.”
Emelie instinctively glanced at Greta.
Greta’s expression shifted subtly.
She didn’t seem quite happy and forced a smile. “Marriage is a serious matter. We barely know haven’t met your parents. At the
very least, we should find a time for both families to sit down and discuss this matter.”
you and
William picked up the teacup
However, he only brought it close to his nose for a sniff before putting it back down. His expression turned distant.
Emelie knew him too well. He found the tea too ordinary for his taste. Plus, what Greta had said seemed to have put him off a
little.
He probably felt slighted that, despite being a wealthy prospective son–in–law, Greta wasn’t fully satisfied
with him.
William was accustomed to being respected wherever he went. How could he stand for this?
Emelle knew that they shouldn’t have dropped by so suddenly. She should have spoken with Greta first,
She sighed. “William, your car is blocking the road at the town entrance. Could you move it to the alley
entrance?”
Greta added, “Parking isn’t allowed at the town entrance. If it blocks tourist traffic, it might get towed. William, please move your
car to our doorstep. That would put my mind at ease.”
William understood Emelie’s intention to have a private conversation with Greta. He nodded and got up to leave.
As soon as he left, Greta moved closer to Emelie and held her hand. Naturally, she saw the ring.
Even if Greta didn’t know what Eros was, she knew a ring worn on the ring finger meant an engagement. ring.
She looked at Emelie with concern. “Eme, tell me honestly, do you really want to marry William?”
“Mum, do you think he’s not good enough?” she replied to Greta with a question.
“He’s good. He’s handsome and tall. I’ve lived over fifty years and haven’t seen many young men as spirited as him. He looks
like he walked out of a movie.” At first glance, Greta was thoroughly satisfied with William. Only this kind of man deserved
Emelie.
However, there was one problem.
“He has to be from a wealthy family, right? Wouldn’t you be too stressed with him? Do his parents like
you? Rich people are all about matching families. Our family is too different from theirs, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold
your head up in their family,” Greta said.
Greta didn’t ask for her daughter to be rich and noble or to be married to a good family. She just hoped she’d have a comfortable
life.
It had been tough for Emelie for the past three years
Emelie noticed the worries in Greta’s eyes and softly said, “Mom, I’ve met his parents. They like me very much. They don’t care
about my family background,”
*Does he treat you well? Did he take care of you when you were working abroad for those three years?” Greta asked.
“He... he did. In fact, he’s my boss, and he’s always been taking good care of me. He taught me a lot and helped me a lot. His
private doctor helped with the surgery you had last time, and he was the one who helped behind the scenes to help dad get out
of jail,” Emelie replied.
These were all true.
Emelie didn’t tell her that in those three years, she felt like his tool. She also didn’t tell her that his friend took away the heart she
needed for a transplant.
She believed she could let go of what she hadn’t said.
“He told me that we’ll go to the city hall to register for marriage on the ninth day of New Year. He must be serious, and I guess I
have thought it through,” Emelie said.
Greta didn’t know that William had done so much for her. Now that she knew, her satisfaction with William, which had initially
been only 50 percent, immediately soared to 99 percent.
She smiled and said, “Okay, then. As long as you’ve thought it through. We’ll meet his parents for a meal over the New Year’s
Day holiday, all right?”
This was a very reasonable request. Therefore, when William returned, Greta brought it up to him.
William paused before saying. “My parents divorced in their early years. My mother is now in Sentiland, so she can’t come back.
I’ll tell my dad about the meal. Once I’ve picked out the location, we can send a car to come and get you.”
Emelie’s nerves jumped. Did he just say Sentiland?
So, it turned out his mother lived in Sentiland.
She remembered Ashton telling her that William had sent someone to Sentiland before, didn’t he?
