Grant quickly bowed and said, “Don Albert, please hold on for a moment. I need to speak with my daughter briefly. We were just discussing this matter amongst ourselves, so she is not yet aware of what’s happening…”
Don Albert nced at his watch and responded coldly, “You have three minutes. If you dy any longer, you won’t get off so easily!”
Isaac interjected sharply, “Grant, I must warn you. Don’t even think about trying any tricks. If I don’t see the marriage certificate between David and your daughter, you’re finished!”
Grant nodded frantically and said in a panic, “Chairman Cameron and Don Albert, please don’t worry. I wouldn’t dare to pull any tricks!”
Don Albert kicked him directly and scolded, “What good is your promise to us? Go and assure Master Wade instead!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Grant quickly crawled in front of Charlie, saying, “Master Wade, you need not worry. I will follow all your instructions and absolutely won’t pull any tricks!”
Charlie waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Get on with it. I’m still waiting to attend your daughter’s wedding banquet!”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Grant nodded rapidly. He then turned and hurried out of the crowd to find his wife and daughter.
His wife and daughter had not joined him earlier; they were waiting for him to finish his discussions with the Carson family before the wedding could proceed.
Meanwhile, his daughter, Skye, was feeling quite anxious.
She was very aware of her predicament. She knew that if she didn’t hurry to marry someone willing to father a foreigner’s child, her situation would only be moreplicated as her pregnancy progressed.
Being unmarried and giving birth to a foreign child would undoubtedly tarnish her reputation in Aurous Hill.
How could she expect to hold her head high in the future under such circumstances?
To make matters worse, she was already two months pregnant. In just a couple of months, her pregnancy would be visible, leaving her with less than two months to get married.
Recently, she had been searching for a suitable partner.
In her mind, she had wished that she wasn’t pregnant with a foreigner’s child. If that were the case, she could simply conceal her pregnancy, marry someone, andter im that her child was born prematurely.
This way, she could pretend ignorance and achieve her goal through deceit.
However, the unfortunate reality was that she was indeed pregnant with a foreigner’s baby. Once the child was born, the truth would be revealed.
Therefore, deception was out of the question; she needed to marry someone who was aware of her situation and willing to ept it, bing the father of another man’s child.<fn5e5c> Updates are released by F?ndNovel</fn5e5c>
Yet, after searching high and low, she found that those with better reputations and status were simply not interested in being the father of someone else’s child.
Conversely, she looked down on those who were willing to ept her situation because they often came from poor backgrounds and had low status.
When her father informed her that he had found a solution and that Steve was willing to be the father of her child, she felt immense relief.
Although she didn’t know Steve well, she had seen him before. He was quite handsome, and Skye had a favorable impression of him.
Moreover, Steve had attended a prestigious university and came from a respectable family. Their families had business connections, making Steve an ideal choice to father her child!
Thus, she had approached the situation with excitement and hope, eagerly awaiting confirmation of the arrangement.
When she spotted her father rushing towards her, she asked eagerly, “Dad, is everything settled? Is Steve really going to marry me?”
Grant looked at her with a conflicted expression before responding awkwardly, “Skye, the person you’re marrying today is not Steve.”
“What?” Skye eximed in surprise. “If it’s not Steve, then who is it?”
Feeling deeply embarrassed, Grant replied, “It’s Steve’s father, David!”
