Secret Wealthy Marriage

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Your Answer Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Your Answer After looking at the photos, Carrolline sat with Bryan’s grandmother, sipping chrysanthemum tea at the stone table on the lawn of the flower garden. They enjoyed the breeze and basked in the warm sunlight that didn’t feel too hot. It was such a comfortable and pleasing moment.

“Carrolline, do you like our Bryan?” Bryan’s grandmother asked, straight and to the point.

“…” Carrolline did not expect such a direct question from Bryan’s grandmother and her face turned bright red. Of course, she liked Bryan. From the moment she first met him, his face left an indelible mark on her heart.

However, she found it hard to respond. She liked Bryan and as of now, her dreams had come true as she was now Bryan’s wife. When she agreed to marry Bryan, she only thought about herself. She had never wondered about Bryan’s reasons for marrying her.

Bryan’s grandmother’s question prompted her to seriously consider this, especially after running into Matilda a few days ago. Matilda had just returned and maybe still had feelings for Bryan.

“Don’t worry, Carrolline. Your blushing face is enough of an answer for me,” Bryan’s grandmother said with a satisfied smile. “Give me some time, I promise to make your dreams come true.”

“…” Carrolline didn’t know what to say. She had already achieved what she wanted. But did Bryan marry her because he liked her? She didn’t think that was very likely.

“Bryan’s grandmother, you don’t have to. I…” Carrolline didn’t know what to say. She had promised Bryan not to disclose their marriage, so naturally, she couldn’t tell Bryan’s grandmother now.

“It’s okay, Carrolline. I understand. Trust me, in the world, no woman suits Bryan better than you. Maybe he can’t realize your goodness now, but he will slowly find out and understand, okay?” Bryan’s grandmother held Carrolline’s hand and spoke sincerely.

“Bryan’s grandmother, I understand your intentions, but please don’t pressure him. He still has a lot of work to do now.” Bryan hadn’t told her about his work, but somehow, she felt like she understood him.

“Carrolline, you see, my judgment never fails. Don’t worry, your grandmother knows what to do,” Bryan’s grandmother said with a joyful smile, as if she had already received Carrolline’s promise.

Afterward, the two of them sat there, chatting about various topics. They no longer just focused on Bryan, but also Carrolline’s work, her family situation, and the members of the Hawkins family. Bryan’s grandmother told Carrolline everything.

After dinner, Bryan’s grandmother arranged for the oldest driver in the house to take Carrolline home. The driver was incredibly respectful to Carrolline.

Carrolline got out of the car and politely urged the driver to return home first. She reminded him to be careful on the road, and only when the driver had left did she turn around to head towards her residential apartment.

“Carrolline -” At that moment, Matilda, who had been waiting under the shade of the trees for some time, emerged. She looked at Carrolline maliciously. She had seen very clearly that the car that had brought Carrolline home was from the Hawkins family.

Her injuries would probably heal in a week, so her agent reminded her not to go abroad for the time being. The agency said that the opportunities at home wouldn’t be much different compared to those abroad.

The company even helped her land several ads. She won’t have any personal freedom anytime soon.

Indeed, she was injured this time and lost her own interest, but she also affected the company’s interests. She had to pay double the effort.

“What are you doing here?” Carrolline saw Matilda and showed her an unpleasant face. She had no patience for this woman.

“You’re coming from the Hawkins house? What, the old woman wants to matchmake you with one of her grandsons?” Matilda asked sarcastically, raising her eyebrows. She knew that the Hawkins family patriarch was discharged today. She saw Carrolline leaving in the Hawkins family car early in the morning and had been waiting for her ever since. But she didn’t expect Carrolline to come back so late.

If Bryan wasn’t in the country, what else in the Hawkins family could attract Carrolline to stay there for so long?

“Whatever you’re thinking, that’s it,” replied Carrolline impolitely, intending to ignore Matilda and leave.

“Is it the second son of the Hawkins family?” Matilda teased on purpose. “Hmm, you two are about the same age, quite suitable.”

Carrolline stood still, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Matilda’s haughty face. “Ask your heart, do you think it’s the second son?”

If Matilda wanted to play dumb, then she would honestly tell her who Bryan’s grandmother wanted to match her up with was the very man that was in Matilda’s heart.

At that moment, she really wanted to throw her and Bryan’s marriage certificate in Matilda’s face and watch her reaction, to see if Matilda would maintain her current high-handed attitude.

“Carrolline, don’t be so confident. You should know what kind of relationship Bryan and I had, and why we broke up,” threatened Matilda. “I came back this time to reconcile with him. Don’t even dream of anything, or else, don’t blame me for being rude.” Matilda dropped this harsh sentence and left without waiting for Carrolline to respond.

The reason she waited so long was to threaten Carrolline and make her think twice.

With a woman like her, who was excellent in every aspect present at Bryan’s side, what gave Carrolline the right to think that she could have a man she didn’t even deserve?

Carrolline suddenly laughed as she watched Matilda leave. She thought to herself, there were psychos everywhere.
