Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy novel Chapter 1403

The marriage between Grant family and Miller family was finally decided. The elders of the two families seemed to be very satisfied. As time passed, delicious food was already laid out on the long dining table. It was time for dinner.

The two old masters sat on the main seats, the Grant family's parents and Joseph siblings on one side, and the Miller Family's members on the other.

Alvina sneaked a peek at Joseph. He was very calm and composed, smiling when he should, not smiling when he pursed his lips, but giving people a feeling of warmth like jade.

Wendy was his sister; Alvina had seen her in Joseph's photo album on his phone. The cute little girl was also obedient at this moment, sitting there without making a fuss, but her big, watery eyes continued to stare at Alvina from time to time, as if she wanted to size up this future sister—in—law carefully.

Alvina was restless because she felt that all of the Grant family members were watching her. She could only bend her lips stiffly, so as to look composed and not lose etiquette.

Victoria and Amy sat beside Alvina, the three women acting together. Joseph's sharp eyes swept across them and he knew how difficult the situation Alvina was in at the Miller Family.

On the other hand, Alvina only had the care of the old man who was just around the age of thirty. The old man was not her parents, so he was unable to take care of the details. So, Alvina's face was a little indifferent.

As Joseph thought of this, his heart inexplicably ached for a moment. The gaze he looked at Alvina with also carried an extra touch of gentleness and pity.

"In the future, we will be family, so there's no need to be polite. Households often come to eat, so it's not appropriate to greet them." The Old Master Miller laughed and talked, and then, everyone started to eat and talk.

Victoria and Amy had no appetite, because they did not ruin the engagement ceremony. They were extremely annoyed.

Victoria was unwilling, thus at the table, she gazed upon Joseph with her tender and affectionate eyes, hoping that the man opposite her would accept her hints of admiration.

Unfortunately, Joseph was like a block of wood, his gaze was focused on his elder's speech, as if he could not accept Victoria's gaze, and this made Victoria feel defeated.

After dinner was over, they moved to the living room for a break. The two old men started to chat about their years of friendship, and they happily chatted with each other. Half an hour later, the Grant family decided to return first.

The Old Master Miller immediately said to Alvina who was sitting beside him, "Go send Joseph's family off!"

Alvina didn't have any reason to be slow. She quickly stood up and followed her uncle's group to send the Grant family off.

Throughout the whole process, Joseph and Alvina had not conversed much, even their gazes did not communicate much, thus, no one could find anything wrong with the conversation, it was just that they felt that the two of them were not serious enough towards marriage.

Alvina let out a long sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's go back and rest. Alvina, come to grandpa's room later. grandpa has something to tell you!" With Old Master Miller's order, everyone left.

Alvina obediently knocked on his grandfather's door. The old man drank a cup of tea and laughed: "The Grant family is very satisfied with you."

"Ah? Grandfather, how did you know? " Alvina's beautiful eyes instantly widened in shock, but when they were chatting just now, she clearly hadn't heard the evaluation that the Grant family members gave her.

"I just called Joseph's grandpa and he told me!" The old man said happily.

"Grandfather, today I acted like I was made of wood. I can only giggle. Does Uncle and Aunt of the Grant family really have no objections to me?" Alvina's beautiful face was filled with sorrow.

"As long as Joseph likes you, his family will definitely like you. They believe in their son's judgement and won't make a mistake." Old Master Miller quickly comforted her granddaughter, afraid that she would think too much into it.

"Then I will do my best in the future!" Alvina laughed bitterly, this was all she could do for now.

On the way back, Ms. Grant intentionally squeezed into her son's car, leaving Joseph with no choice.

"Miller Family, these three daughters are pretty good." The Ms. Grant said.

"Dad, Why does Grandfather have to be so good to Alvina?! We didn't even see him being good to us!" Victoria suddenly became hurt, her eyes turning red: "We are both the granddaughters of the Miller Family, They are treating us like we were just brought back, and we are definitely not like the treasures in my grandfather's hands."

"Shut up, don't say these kinds of words again in the future, and let her not say them in front of your grandfather." Nathan immediately reprimanded his daughter, preventing her from saying such words that didn't know the seriousness of the situation.

"What I'm saying is the truth, why don't you say it? Grandfather must be biased, right?" Victoria felt even more wronged.

"Actually, this is our fault as well. After big brother passed away, we were too eager to gain immediate benefits, and your grandfather only began to scheme for Alvina because he had no one to rely on in the Miller Family and had no one to rely on in the future." Paul lowered his head and started to blame himself.

"You're right, your grandfather isn't biased; he just wants to balance the interests of the Miller Family. If Alvina didn't marry a man he can rely on, he's afraid that we would harm her in the future." Nathan also thought of this point.

The topic was getting more sensitive, Paul immediately got up and prepared to leave: " Brother, I'll go back with Amy first, rest early!"

"Alright, you can go back now." Nathan raised his hand. Once Paul and her father had left, Nathan's expression became even uglier.

"Father, is Third Uncle still not willing to give you control of the put the company?" Victoria asked as she changed her face.

"It won't be that easy for him to hand it over." Nathan coldly snorted: "I had originally planned to let Alvina's shares sell to me, but now it seems that it wouldn't be so easy to obtain it here."

"Then if Third Uncle obtains Alvina's shares, wouldn't the company have the final say?" Victoria asked nervously.

"Of course, only those who have more shares will have the right to speak!" Nathan snorted.

"Then we didn't get it. Third Uncle won't get it either. We'll just stay deadlocked like this. Dad has the most authority right now anyway!" Victoria smiled optimistically.
