Contract Marriage With Mysterious President

Chapter 179 Engagement or Marriage?

Allison and her parents came to Carter's mansion. Grandma Eva was so enthusiastic to see them.

The Fields went in. The table was full of dishes, which cost Eva a fortune.

"Allison, how do you like the dishes today? If there's anything you don't like, let us know. We'll change it

next time." Eva held Allison's hand and said with a smile.

"They're good. I like them." Allison was genial, but she was looking at Richard when she answered.

Jacob was overjoyed. He had always loved Allison in secret. He didn't expect to be with Allison one

day.

"Thank you, Grandma Eva. You're so nice to us. We love the food you prepared." Allison walked in with

her parents, Tracy and Cesar. They greeted the Carters politely.

Richard helped Amy sit at the table, and all of them began to eat.

Janice and Garry didn't talk but just ate. Anyway, this had nothing to do with them.

Richard and Amy didn't want to participate in the others' conversation either. However, some people

didn't like their silence.

"Richard, why don't you say anything?" Eva looked at Richard while casting a cold glance at Amy.

'How can you sit on your hands and let Richard shell the prawns for you? You have no manners. You

should take care of your husband.'

"Suit yourself." Richard had nothing else to say. The others looked like a true family, but he and Amy

were just like outsiders.

"Richard, this is your favorite." Allison picked up a rib for Richard.

"No, thanks. I don't like ribs anymore." Richard put his bowl aside.

Allison paused, and she was somewhat awkward.

"Come on. Don't refuse Allison. Just take it." Grandma Eva snatched Richard's bowl and placed it in

front of Allison, letting Allison put the rib into the bowl.

Richard didn't eat the rib. He knew Amy liked seafood, so he kept shelling prawns and crabs for her.

Allison was jealous to see this.

"Allison, here. It's tasty." Jacob shelled a prawn for her. Allison smiled and thanked him, and she ate it.

"Allison, you are underweight. You should eat more food. Jacob, you must take good care of Allison.

You will form a family, so you must protect her." Eva was talking to herself.

Tracy and Cesar were both busy eating. Addy entertained them warmly as if she was entertaining the

parents of her daughter-in-law.

"Mr. and Mrs. Field, eat some more." Addy kept picking up food for them.

"We came here today to discuss the marriage between Allison and Jacob. Do you have any ideas?"

Tracy said to the Carters.

"We don't know. We should have gone to your place to discuss this. Halbert, what do you think we

should do?" At such a critical moment, Grandma Eva still had to ask Halbert.

Halbert was dumbfounded. No one had ever said anything about this to him. Now that he suddenly

needed to discuss Jacob's marriage, he had no idea what to do.

"Cathy used to be in charge of this. I don't know either. Since it's Jacob's marriage, let his mother

decide." Halbert really hadn't dealt with these things.

"How about this? Addy, you can make the decision." Grandma Eva was happy to let Addy make the Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

decision. Someone must take care of the family. She preferred Addy to be the one, not Cathy.

"Well, well. Mr. and Mrs. Field, what do you think? After all, you are the parents of our future daughter-

in-law. Your words matter." Addy really thought of herself as the hostess.

"I have a suggestion. I'll get engaged to Jacob first. It'll be too hasty for us to get married now. We can

get married in a year. In this year, we'll have time to get along with each other and see how well we

understand each other." Allison put forward her own opinion.

The Carters were shocked to hear this. Engagement? Didn't they agree to get married?

Jacob and Addy looked at Allison. Only then did Allison slowly express her thoughts, "You don't know

my temper and personality yet. That's also a reason I want to get engaged to Jacob first. I can stay

here to look after Grandma Eva. If she thinks I am good enough, I am qualified to be a family member.

Then, I will marry Jacob."

As she spoke, Allison glanced at Amy. Amy didn't have a decent wedding when she got married. If

Allison married Jacob, she must have a grand wedding. This was the difference between her and Amy.

"I think your suggestion is good. What a well-bred girl! Your words are reasonable. Then let them get

engaged first." Grandma Eva was satisfied with this suggestion. She also wanted to see how Allison

was. She only knew that Allison's family was wealthy, but the children of wealthy families were always

domineering.

Grandma Eva got wiser now. She wanted the Fields to help her eldest grandson. If Allison had a bad

temper, her grandson would suffer, so she agreed with Allison.

Tracy and Cesar had nothing to say. Cesar was a man of no ideas. He always listened to his wife.

Since their daughter had achieved her goal, Tracy had no objections. Her daughter would never marry

Jacob. She was disdainful of Jacob.

As long as Allison stayed at the Carter's, she would be closer to Richard and more likely to be with him.

Jacob didn't dare to say anything. Engaging Allison was something he had always dreamed of, and he

was thrilled to bits when he heard that Allison would stay at their place. He would be able to marry

Allison shortly if they got along well.

They were having the meal happily. Allison was ingratiating. She had started to call Eva as grandma

and Jacob's parents as mom and dad.

Halbert wore a long face. He felt that he no longer had any say in this family. Something was wrong,

but he didn't understand what it was. He felt lonely.

After his wife left, Richard and Amy always ignored him. The others wouldn't tell him anything, but they

just wanted his money. He was confused. What exactly was he doing? What was wrong with his

family?
