Chapter 34 Engament With No Fiance
Milly rushed to Gray's old residence with tears in her eyes with bags full of gifts, the following day. She knew that there was no lady in his life and she must be that woman only by playing cool.
"Hello, Milly child, look at how beautiful you are, your husband will be blessed to have you, my child," Mrs. Gray said.
"Mother, thank you, I think I will be the one to be blessed to have him, it is just that..." she hesitated for a while, looking heartbroken with her eyes brimming with tears, her cheeks turning red.
"What is it my child you can tell me I can call your mother and tell her about everything," Mrs. Gray said.
When Milly, heard her concerned voice her heart melted and secretly smiled.
'What if you do not want me you will marry me! ' she shouted through her thoughts.
"Mother, I am embarrassed to say this out loud, I don't want anyone to think low of me, that's why I have always kept the one I have always loved a secret all my life and am stuck I don't know what to do..?" she said. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Mother, it hurt so much I don't know what to do or how to help myself..."
"Okay, child tell me what is the problem?" Mrs. Gray asked.
"He doesn't love me, the mother he said that am just like any other woman, but mother I have always watched him, he has never gotten closer to any woman," she said.
"Sorry, my child love is complicated, and says of the heart are also complicated my dear, perhaps he is afraid of showing his weakness right in front of you, give him some space he will come around." Mrs. Gray.
"Hey, who is the stupid man that is making my friend's granddaughter shade tears," Old Master Gray asked.
"Grandpa... I am sorry I disturbed your rest," she said sniffing her nose.
"I just couldn't hold my emotions" she added.
"It's okay, tell me what is troubling you," he said. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Grandma I feel ashamed, my love for him is wrong and a shameful one," she said.
"Just tell us, Grandpa will help you."
"Really...! Grandpa Gray?" she asked.
"Yeah, really," he said.
"I'm... I am... I have been in love with him since I was 8 years old." she said.
"What? Tell me who that man is, how dare he!"
"No no no, Grandpa I love him, he... He... He..."
"Talk darling" Mrs. Gray talked.
"He is Edward your son... ' she said.
"What? That stupid old man? " the old master asked.
"Yes, it's him," she answered.
"I was worried that no lady will love my child and that our two families will never get united since this is the case, we will arrange the marriage we will talk to him. " Mrs. Gray said.
'Only if Jessy could have been my daughter-in-law, too bad she is pregnant I wish I can strangle that stupid man to death.' Mrs. Gray thought.
'With her beauty, though young she could not move my son, who else can? It's better this way, I can not watch my eldest son die lonely" she believed.
She made a move to her son's home, and she was not going to give him a chance to argue with him on this.
"Welcome, Mrs. Gray..." they greeted.
"Where is he?"
"Ooh, sir has just come back he is upstairs." the maid answered.
"Call him down," she said. Maids around the corner could not help but gossip.
"I can't imagine that that young arrogant miss went and complained to our boss's mother."
"Our dark days are yet to come darlings," another maid said.
"I pity our boss he is the poorest one here," they said.
Meanwhile, Edward stepped down the stairs step by step.
"Son, can you tell your mother how old are you?" she asked.
"Mom, is that you're supposed greeting?" he asked.
"And why should I greet you? For once I thought that you were going to marry that young girl, was underage thought but she was the best match for you, but look at you, she was impregnated by another man.
You lost my perfect daughter-in-law. Why is my life pitiful? Son, do you plan on killing me like this?" Mrs. Gray was talking and talking.
"Mom, please I told her I will marry she appears, I love another person and that's it," he said.
"Son, when will that be? When? Right now I will not care how old you are cause you are going to get engaged to Milly Adams." she said.
"Mom, let's not talk about it."
"No son, it has been decided. After all, you saw her growing up, step by step" she said.
"She is no stranger to us," she added.
"Mom...! I don't want that kid! Do you know her? Do you eat with her? Is she your daughter? Don't just judge people but if this is what you want get her engaged then." he said.
"Son, are you talking to Mother like that?" she felt heartbroken, this being the first time her son is losing in front of her.
"Fine I will call the Adams and Inform them about this," she said.
Edward could only feel headaches.
The day ended smoothly and for one week he didn't hear from Milly the engagement ring was sent he never appeared at his engagement day with Milly.
The excuse was, he was busy and traveled on a business trip.
Mrs. Gray helped Milly with moving things into Edwards's house.
Milly was happy and posted all over social media, living with her future husband. How much he values her.
Drake, on the other hand, was mad at his stupid sister. He knew that other than 'her' no lady will capture his friend's heart no matter what.
"Milly, stop lying to yourself Edward has never shown any interest in any woman except for her. .. You will cry sooner or later," he said.
"I can't believe that you are my brother, and wait who is her?" she asked.
"We too don't know her, only Edward knows her," he said. He couldn't believe how t
