Chapter 8 Fiance came to the home!
Anne was reluctant, her lips were biting out marks, but in front of the crowd, she could only pull out a gentle smile and follow the two.
After returning home from the shopping mall, the three of them noticed an unfamiliar luxury car parked facing the door.
Nancy suspiciously took the two sisters into the house, then saw Jeffrey sitting across from a well-ironed, aristocratic man.
Even if only seeing a side face, the man's handsome features have made it impossible to take everyone's eyes off the road.
Anne had never seen such a handsome person before, and hurried to Nancy's side and said, "Mom, who is that person ... "
Nancy also shook her head and walked in, "Jeffery."
Jeffrey saw the mother and daughters returning and hurriedly got up to introduce them, "Laurence, this is my wife, and this is my daughter."
Jeffrey introduced Laurence, mentioning Monica with a loving smile on his face.
Anne waited for Jeffrey's introduction as well, but Jeffrey didn't even look at her.
Laurence's cool eyes swept over the three, then got up and nodded to Monica: "Hello, I'm Laurence Halls."
The name ‘Laurence' immediately stunned Nancy and Anne.
The Halls and the Moores are family friends, the head of the Halls and Henry set a baby marriage to the two families' grandchildren in the early years, and Laurence, who studied abroad before, was Anne's fiance she had never met before.
Out of expectation, Laurence finally returned, while she is no longer the rich lady of the Moores...
Laurence looked at Monica, the jealousy in Anne's heart turned into a thorn and it hurt her hard to breathe.
It was Monica's fault! She came back at the wrong time!
Otherwise, Laurence would see her instead of Monica!
'Monica."
The girl in front of Laurence was indeed charming. Monica only thought he was one of her relatives, so she just answered him by her name simply and didn't speak anything else.
Nancy felt doubly embarrassed. She guessed that Monica had just returned and did not know Laurence's identity, so she hurried to explain.
"Monica is very simple and direct. Sorry but please don't mind."
Laurence, however, could not help giving Monica an extra glance, "No, on the contrary, I like her straightforward character."
His words immediately made the two elders' hearts leap.
Laurence was the most outstanding youth in his family. It would be great if Monica could gain his affection.
Monica looked at Laurence's deep eyes and felt that this man was not simple. She is very good at observing people, but this man's eyes were so deep that she couldn't read his mind from his eyes.
Then they seated down on the sofa. Nancy purposely let Monica and Laurence sit together, and Anne could only reluctantly sit aside.
Monica was wondering why she had to sit with a stranger but said nothing.
At this time, Laurence picked up his coffee cup and continued, " I apologize for my unexpected visit. But my grandfather has recently fallen ill and would like to meet my fiancee, that's why I came here. "
Monica was completely dumbfounded after hearing his words, "Fiancee?"
What?
Jeffrey coughed nervously, and Nancy hurriedly explained, "Monica, you just came back and don't know, your grandfather set a baby marriage with the Halls many years ago. Laurence is just your fiancé."
"What?!"
What the hell?!
She had only been back to the Moores for two days and hadn't seen all her family yet. But now, her fiance suddenly appeared!
This made her aloof, she couldn't even calm down, "Mom, isn't it too outrageous to have a child marriage?"
In the 21st century, there are still people who set a child marriage!
Jeffrey helplessly said, "I know it's hard for you to accept, but that's how it was in your grandfather's era."
He and Nancy were worried about this, but when they saw how outstanding Laurence was, they wanted Monica to find a good husband and had a happy family.
Monica shows a very awkward demeanor, but Anne just felt that she was being in happiness but didn't realize it. Her eyes turned, and said leisurely, "Monica, this marriage originally belongs to me. But now you are back, you are so lucky that you will become Laurance's wife. Please don't waste grandpa's hard work."
Anne's words attracted everyone's attention, even Laurence looked at her too.
Anne saw Laurence looking at her, and her heart beat faster immediately. Her face flushed, then she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, which made her look very attractive.
Laurence swept her up and down, and said, "This is the adopted daughter in your family, right?"
The word 'adopted' was like a basin of ice water, directly on Anne's skull.
This is the biggest thorn existing in her heart, Anne did not expect Laurence would say it directly, and a frozen smile appeared on her face. She does not want to admit it, but she also cannot deny the truth. She bit her lip, and her eyes were slightly red. Seeing this kind of attitude, all can't help but pity her.
Anne grew up knowing that she was not as beautiful as her mother, father, and brothers, but she had the advantage of being a little girl. She used to make people's hearts soften as soon as she made a grievance, then they could not bear to hurt her.
But Laurence does not bear it. He just indifferently said, " The family heads certainly have good intentions. But the time flies. If Miss Moore does not agree to this marriage, you can also take this opportunity to visit my grandfather to withdraw from the marriage."
Laurence said naturally, just like talking about the weather today. Jeffrey and Nancy could not help but stare: "Withdraw?"
