Chapter 4 The Man She Should Marry
As Anne adjusted her messy hair, she smiled, “It’s not as scary as you said. I didn’t even see your grandfather.”
James pinched her pretty cheeks. “Didn’t you hear what the servant said just now? My uncle is sick. Grandpa is too busy taking care of him to bother with me,” He said dotingly.
“The sick one who just returned from abroad?”
“You can’t judge my uncle in that way. Grandpa will slap you if he hears that.” After James reminded Anne in a low voice, he started the car and drove towards the entrance of the Gibson’s.
Anne paused for a moment before suddenly asking curiously, “By the way, how does your uncle look like?”
“What? Are you interested in him?” James glanced Anne unhappily.
“How is that possible? I don’t want to be widowed at such a young age. I’m just curious.”
“Well … He looks very ugly.”
“Really?”
“He needs to take medicine all the time. Do you think how handsome he will be?” Actually, James did not know how the rumored uncle looked like, because he had never seen this uncle before.
Terence had been living abroad for so many years, and he stayed home for a few years. However, James had just gone abroad to study in those years.
“You’re right.” Anne nodded and a gloating smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Esther, who curled up in the trunk, was stunned.
It turned out that the strange man was James’ uncle, Clark Gibson’s youngest son. Esther’s Grandma had been forcing Esther to marry him recently!
Rumor had it that Clark’s youngest son had been recuperating abroad. Recently, he came back from abroad to get married. It was said that Mr. Terence had a rare P blood type, so Clark got his eye on the Cusack family, which was no match for his own one.
Clark only found a total of nine cases of P blood type all over the country. Coincidentally, Esther and Anne were two of them, and only they were eligible for the marriage.
Everyone knew that the fourth young master of the Gibson family was suffering from a strange illness. It was uncertain how long he could hold on. If one wasn’t poor, she wouldn’t choose to marry him. However, when Clark came with a betrothal gift of 50 million, Esther’s grandma did not refuse and agreed to the marriage on the spot.
Clark was satisfied with Anne, the eldest granddaughter of the Cusack family. Esther’s grandma, however, made excuses to change Anne into Esther. The reason was very simple. Their grandma had been partial towards Anne since childhood. Naturally, she would not be willing to marry this precious granddaughter to a sick man who might not survive within several years.
Esther looked down at the wound on her shoulder and smiled bitterly….This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
James parked the car at a corner about a hundred meters away from the Cusack’s. He opened the door for Anne considerately. After getting off the car, they kissed again.
After a long time, James let go of Anne and smiled flirtatiously, “What should I do? I can’t wait to see you again.”
“Stop being garrulous. Hurry up and go back. If Esther finds it out, it will be bad.”
“So what? I’ll have to confess to her sooner or later.”
“Aren’t you afraid that she will be sad?”
“It has nothing to do with me. Right now, I only care if you are sad or not.” James pinched her nose and said, “Don’t talk about her in front of me again.”
