Chapter 694 The first visit to the Harding family
Leo and Vera had arranged countless dates blind to Garrett with all eligible daughters of the wealthy families of Seacisco, but none were fruitful.
"I think your son is trying to ruin his reputation on purpose. Do you want to die like a single man?"
Vera rubbed her aching forehead and pursed her lips with sadness.
"I have been expecting a grandson, Leo.All the other rich ladies my age parade with his grandchildren in front of me.Once I couldn’t bear it and let go that i would have a gra next year at the latest.But Garrett is too stubborn.Worse yet, with all the blind dates there were ruined, people now start to gossip and there are some nasty things they say about our son.How will you find a partner right now?"
Garrett was willing to sacrifice even his reputation for rejecting arranged marriage by his parents for him, which left them feeling powerless.
Leo, in particular, didn’t know what to do and was fed up with Vera’s annoyances.
"He left pregnant that woman, right? if you are so desperate to have a grandson why not the do you accept?"
Vera snorted angrily and said nothing more.
Surprisingly, Garrett’s tactic worked.
Vera now fully understood that her son he was determined to marry Laney.
After thinking about it for a long time, Vera finally he raised his hands in defeat.
Don’t be so mean, even though this girl is an orphan, What if it turns out to be decent? How about we invite her to have lunch and see for ourselves? Of Anyway, we have nothing to lose."
Leo nodded hesitantly.
During the lunch, Laney was still very restless.He chewed and swallowed slowly, trying to eat as gracefully as possible, totally different from its usual way.
As a result, after the meal, Laney felt stiff and full without precedent.
Also, I could feel the attentive gaze of Vera and Leo, Assessing her carefully, Vera wiped the corner of her mouth lips elegantly and glanced at the Laney’s belly.
‘Miss Garcia, how many servants do you have in your House? You are pregnant now, so you have to take good care of you."
Laney nodded obediently and smiled.
Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Harding. I have several maids taking care of me.And there is also a nutritionist and a doctor, in fact, I have been following a specific diet for women pregnant"
Although the truth was that food designed for she was lousy and secretly ate other snacks.
