Chapter 1574 Blunder In Matchmaking
Harrison put on his reading glasses, typed a few words into his phone, and sent the message out.
Harvey almost spat the tea in his mouth when he saw the text from his grandfather.
What the hell is Grandpa thinking? Why would I be interested in that woman?
Harvey immediately replied to Harrison’s text. Then, he circled his arm around Sonia’s waist, took a few selfies, and sent out the pictures.
‘‘Who are you sending those photos to?’‘ Sonia felt rather uneasy and asked Harvey.
Harvey knew that Sonia was feeling shy. He smiled and said, ‘‘I sent it to my grandpa. He’s always urging me to get married. So I have to introduce his future granddaughter-in-law to him, lest he keeps trying to matchmake me with another woman!’‘
Sonia flushed bright pink at the word ‘‘granddaughter-in-law.’‘
She was willing to marry him all right, but it was difficult to get her parents’ blessing in the matter, especially her mother’s. After all, her mother had her eyes set on Prince Aaron of Turlen. Hence, Sonia felt quite apprehensive about the matter.
If Father had not dragged Mother away last night, She would have already forced me to abort my baby.
Sonia furrowed her brows at the thought of her mother. What time is it? Why hasn’t she made an appearance yet?
She was taken care of by her grandparents since young. Hence, Sonia could not help but wonder if her mother no longer wanted to take care of her at the hospital just because she refused to marry Aaron.
Sonia felt quite dejected at the thought of that.
‘‘What’s the matter?’‘ Harvey could not help but ask when he sensed Sonia’s sorrow.
She glanced at him and pondered briefly before expressing the doubt in her mind.
After saying that, she looked at Harvey and added softly, ‘‘Do you think my mother will agree to our marriage?’‘
Harvey was stumped. He was aware that he was not the ideal son-in-law Kelly had in mind. Therefore, it would be difficult for her to agree to his marriage with Sonia.
However, when he met Sonia’s hopeful gaze, he did not have the heart to be completely honest with her.
He thought for a moment and said, ‘‘She will. Your father is on our side, and he will convince your mother to do the same.’‘
Judging from the conversation from the night before, Harvey was confident that Lawrence would agree to him marrying Sonia. As for his future mother-in-law, Harvey knew that he would need all the help he could get from his future father-in-law.
Sonia nodded after listening to Harvey and thought that he had a point.
Kelly was stubborn enough to not listen to what others had to say. But Sonia knew that her mother would listen to her husband no matter how reluctant she was.
‘‘Harvey, I’d like to visit your home after I’m discharged from the hospital.’‘
Meanwhile, at the Jupiters’ residence across the vast ocean, Harrison was beaming with joy as he looked at his phone in the classy-looking courtyard.
He had not expected that his grandson already found him a granddaughter-in-law after going on a trip with Vinson. He beamed delightfully at the thought of the birth of his great-grandchild in just a few months’ time.
‘‘Benny!’‘ Harrison summoned his butler loudly.
‘‘Old Mr. Jupiter.’‘ A middle-aged man whom Harrison addressed as Benny hurriedly headed inside and greeted the former. ‘‘You’re looking for me, Old Mr. Jupiter?’‘
‘‘Come, follow me to the storeroom for a moment.’‘ Harrison wanted to pick out some exquisite gifts for his future granddaughter-in-law and great-grandchild.
Benny did not understand the old man’s intention of going to the storeroom. Nonetheless, he trailed behind Harrison closely. After all, Harrison was already old, and he needed close care and supervision.
In contrast with the cheery ambiance in the Jupiters’ residence, the hospital was shrouded in a frigid atmosphere.
Sonia had her back against Harvey as her eyes brimmed with tears.
