Married at First Sight

Ms. Girard added, “When you go to high school, I will send you abroad. Domestic studies are too complicated.”

Before high school, she was reluctant to send her son abroad. Even if she doesn’t have much time to spend with her son now, at least she can see him sooner or later.

Moreover, the parents-in-law are reluctant to part with their grandson. If they had not had a grandson, neither of them would have been able to survive the death of their son. The grandson is the spiritual support for the two elders.

“After I finished my homework, I showed it to my grandpa to check it for me. I made a mistake in one question. If it were an exam, that question would be worth two points. Everything else is correct. Mom, I have made progress. I will work very hard. Study hard and don’t let you down.”

The child also understood that his mother and grandparents had too many expectations for him.

His IQ was not high enough, but he was willing to learn, work hard, and put in more energy than others, so his grades gradually improved. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Well, that’s progress. It’s a big improvement and deserves praise. Are grandparents asleep?” Ms. Girard asked about her parents-in-law.

Her son replied, “Not yet; they are also waiting for you to come back.”

Ms. Girard spent seven years stabilizing the situation in her husband’s company and had become the pillar of support for her parents-in-law.

Her parents-in-law thought she was still young and advised her to find another man, but they asked her to recruit a son-in-law, saying they treated her like a daughter.

They hoped Ms. Girard could recruit a son-in-law so that if there was a mature man at home, she would not be stared at by relatives and friends.

Of course, when she remarried, she had to register her property before marriage because she couldn’t give her husband’s family’s property to him without signing an agreement.

After a son-in-law came to their door, they could arrange a job for him and give him a certain amount of pocket money every month, but don’t think about company shares and family property.

Just let her find a companion.

Ms. Girard declined her parents-in-law’s suggestion. She was also worried that others would try to take advantage of her money and treat her son badly.

Her son received everything from her husband’s family.

She didn’t allow anyone to think about her son.

Moreover, after seven years of hard work in the business world, she had met many kinds of men, and it was difficult for anyone to seduce Ms. Girard.

A good man who didn’t care about her husband’s family’s property would not like her or be younger than her.

Because there weren’t many men with that kind of condition in Wiltspoon, only young masters from a few wealthy families were present.

Their family conditions were good, and they had their choice of young and beautiful girls. She was a widow with a dead husband and a son, and her parents-in-law couldn’t get rid of her. Those young men might respect her and think she is powerful, but they like her but won’t marry her.

In Wiltspoon, there were not many golden bachelors.

Julian was the one Ms. Girard liked. After hearing that Julian was ill, Ms. Girard naturally crossed out Julian. Julian had no feelings for her, which was the primary reason. At a banquet, she only met Julian briefly from a distance.

Usually, she couldn’t see Julian at all. Julian was even harder to see than Zachary.

Duncan was disabled, but he was undergoing rehabilitation. Ms. Girard inquired privately and discovered that Duncan could stand up again if he continued to undergo rehabilitation.

The Lewis family was a wealthy one. Duncan had built Lewis & Co. on his own and was worth tens of billions. He would not take advantage of her finances. All of her husband’s family’s property combined was not as large as Duncan’s personal property, not to mention that Duncan could still get a share of the ancestral property.

Ms. Girard stopped talking.

“Grandpa, grandma, my mother is back.” As soon as he reached the door of the house, the little guy shouted happily.
