Chapter 258 Wait for Me at Home Tomorrow Morning
"Okay." Annabel turned to look at Richard and said, "Richard, I'm afraid I have to hold you up for another day."
"Don't worry." Richard scratched his head like a child and said, "In fact, I don't have to go to the orphanage. After all, I'm seventy years old and should have retired long ago. Moreover, I chose my successor before I came here.
"The problem is that the orphanage has failed to raise sufficient funds. Those young people are too shy to ask for sponsorship..."
"Oh, I see." Annabel turned to Alexander and said, "Alexander, could you give some money to Richard's orphanage?"
Alexander nodded. "Yes, of course. I can sponsor it for a long time. As long as the Ashford family doesn't go bankrupt, the children in the orphanage will not be short of food and clothing."
"That's great. The children will be grateful to you."
Richard chuckled and grabbed Annabel's hand, saying, "Since the fund has been raised, I won't go back there. I'll stay with you every day from now on, and we will not be separated for anything."
"Okay, we'll never separate!"
Annabel held Richard's hand tightly, and the two looked solemn as if they were swearing to love.
The domestic workers looked at the two of them curiously.
Alexander took this opportunity and introduced. "This is my grandma, Annabel. You can call her Mrs. Ashford. And this is my grandma's fiancé Richard. You can call him Mr. Forster.
"They're my elders, and you should take good care of them from now on. I don't allow any mistakes."
"Yes!" the servants answered in unison.
When they thought of Annabel's fiancé, they couldn't help smiling. It was their first time seeing a fiancé in his seventies.
At the mention of her fiancé, Annabel and Richard felt embarrassed. They'd rather Alexander said that they were husband and wife.
"Grandma, after I deal with Fiona, I'll give you a grand wedding."
Annabel shook her head and said, "Alexander, we are old, and we don't need a wedding. You should have a wedding with Ivy."
"Shall we have a wedding together?" Alexander rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I'll call Ivy and tell her. She will be very happy."
Annabel was speechless.
Richard didn't know what to say.
...
At Clark Hotel, Ivy and Maria tidied up the table after dinner, and Samantha watched cartoons in the living room with the six children.
Michael chatted with Ben on the sofa beside them.
Ben asked Michael, "Michael, what's your plan? Traveling around the world?"
Michael replied, "No, I don't want to travel anymore, lest I will encounter swindlers again. Ivy and Maria are nice, and I plan to stay here and work."
"Work in a hotel?" Ben couldn't believe it. How much could he earn?
Michael smiled and shook his head, "Ivy is not an ordinary person. She can not only cure all kinds of diseases but also becomes an internet celebrity. I will do well if I work for her. I've thought it over. I want to be her personal assistant or agent."
"Then I will be her full-time driver!" Ben patted his chest and said, "I'm good at driving. I've been driving for three years."
"Three years? That's nothing." Michael patted himself and said, "I've been driving for ten years."
Ben panicked when he heard that. "Michael, show some mercy. Give me a chance. You're capable of anything, and Ivy won't hire me."
"Okay. Since you respect me, I won't tell her I'm good at driving."
Ben instantly grinned. "Thank you, Michael."
After Ivy finished tidying up in the kitchen, her phone rang. It was Alexander calling.
"Ivy, I'd like to discuss something with you."
"Go ahead."
"I want to hold a wedding for Grandma and Mr. Forster."
"It's a good idea."
"I want to hold our wedding on the same day."
"That's great!" Ivy was very happy.
"I knew you would say yes!" Alexander was overjoyed. When he thought of Fiona's birthday celebration, he continued, "Don't come tomorrow morning. Wait for me at home. I'll come to the hotel to pick you up."
"Why do you come to pick me up?" Ivy was confused.
"We're going to the Ashford Villa. Fiona is celebrating her 70th birthday tomorrow. She especially invited you."
"Why did she invite me?" Ivy suddenly had a bad feeling. "Doesn't she dislike me all the time?"
