Chapter 509
Haley didn't say a word, and the engagement date was set, just on the sixth of next month, less than nine days away.
Angela managed to be a flower girl, and the other three little ones also secured a chance to hold the veil.
However, what puzzled Haley was whether a flower girl was needed for the engagement banquet.
Did she need to wear a veil for the engagement banquet?
Wouldn't that make it similar to a wedding?
"Haley, the engagement banquet for our family needs to be a bit grand. Once you become Ivan's fiancée, you will be the lady of the Winston family. It's necessary for everyone in Watertown to know who the future lady of the Winston family will be," Mrs. Winston said with joy on her face. "I will handle everything at the banquet. You only have one thing to do."
Haley was completely led along and asked blankly, "What is it?"
"Inform your family and friends to attend the engagement banquet," Mrs. Winston said happily, "Don't forget, it's on the sixth of next month."
Owen jumped up excitedly. "I'll go with Mom to inform everyone!"
Keith pursed his lips. "I'll go too!"
"Good, you both go!" Mrs. Winston smiled and patted the heads of the children, then looked at Ivan. "Let's go back to the ward and discuss the details of the engagement banquet."
Haley was at a loss.
Was it really set like this?
Why did it feel like a dream?
She just accepted the proposal last night, and now she was going to have the engagement in nine days?
It wasn't until Owen shook her arm that she came back to her senses, forced a smile, and said, "Okay, Mom will take you to the DeRoss family first."
She had severed ties with the DeRoss family, but regardless, Grandmother had cared for her once, and she indeed needed to inform Grandmother about the engagement.
The car stopped at the entrance of the DeRoss family's villa.
Haley got out of the car, looking at the villa that was no different from before, feeling a sense of desolation.
Whenever she came before, there were busy servants in the villa's yard, but now, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and no one was cleaning up.
The villa was empty, indicating that all the servants had probably been dismissed.
The DeRoss Group had changed hands, Emily was in deep trouble, Mr. DeRoss and Flora had thrown all their money away to save their only daughter. The Deross family was no longer what it used to be.
Haley stood at the villa's entrance with mixed emotions and rang the doorbell.
After a long time, Haley's grandmother finally came out of the villa with a cane, and when she saw Haley, tears welled up in her eyes.
She walked over with difficulty and opened the villa's door.
"Grandmother,” Haley called out with a complicated expression.
Grandmother's gaze fell on the four children behind her.
She looked at Keith and Owen and sighed deeply.
She knew from the beginning that Emily had never been pregnant, but she pretended to be ignorant of it, making her an accomplice.
Now that Emily had come to this end, she felt responsible as a grandmother.
"Great-grandmother." Keith softly greeted.
He used to be Emily's son, and every time he came to the DeRoss family, he would call her Great-grandmother.
