"A couple's bond is all nurtured." With that, this aunt looked at Elaine again and said affectionately, "Isn't that right, Elaine."
Elaine smiled faintly, "I have someone I like."
The other party's expression has been restrained for a few minutes, slowly speaking: "Elaine, everything is about a family, you must not meet some messy people outside, not to mention your father, even we aunts and uncles will not agree, not anyone is qualified to step into the door of the James family."
"I ......"
To prevent Elaine from saying something she shouldn't, Franklin coughed: "Elaine will stay in Riverside City from now on, there is no rush on this matter, take your time."
Hearing him say that, the other party then gave up, and when he looked at Elaine, the smile returned to his face: "Elaine, in a few days Auntie wants to ask you to go shopping, you won't refuse, right?"
Elaine said, "Thank you, Auntie, but I don't like shopping, you can find someone else to accompany you."
"How can a girl as old as you not like shopping? Let's leave it at that, auntie will pick you up in a few days."
She settled the matter directly on her own, picked up her bag and left satisfied.
Elaine sat there with a slight frown, she grew up, even her dad and grandpa would rarely ask her to have to do something, this was the first time she was forced to do something she didn't want by someone she didn't know well by pressing her head.
Next to her, Franklin sighed: "Elaine, this is what you will inevitably experience if you stay in Riverside City, and it's not too late for you to leave Riverside City if you want to."
Elaine shook her head, "Dad, I'm not leaving, it's just a shopping trip, no big deal."
"Elaine, it's Daddy who's sorry."
Elaine sat down next to him and took his hand, "Dad, you don't have to say that."
She knew that her dad was now in the same camp as those people, so it was not good to refuse them.
Now that her grandfather is gone, she and her father are the only ones left in the family.
She's going to have to take her share of the blame, too.
After a few days, the car that came to pick up Elaine pulled up at the door.
She got in the car and found a young strange man in the car.
The middle-aged woman introduced herself, "Elaine, this is my son, Brendon McPherson, you guys meet."
But Elaine came out shopping with her and that was the limit. After a simple greeting to say hello, she looked out the window and said nothing more.
The middle-aged woman was so enthusiastic about the topic, she only perfunctorily responded to two, no desire to talk further.
Gradually, the car quieted down.
When she arrived at the mall, the middle-aged woman symbolically stayed with her for a few stores before taking her to the wedding dress store: "Elaine, look at these clothes, they're so beautiful, do you want to go in and try them on?"
Elaine looked over at her with a cold expression, "Aunt Maple, I don't like all this, I just came to shop with you today, I can walk you in if you want to try."
When she said this, Maple James' expression revealed some displeasure: "Why are you so rude, your father didn't teach you how to talk to your elders."
Elaine was still maintaining a little patience and politeness, but when she heard her start attacking her father, her tone became nonchalant: "If it's not my father, I don't even know you, what kind of elder are you, did you give me pocket money when I was a kid, why should you lecture me?"
Maple blushed and wondered when he had started listening.
She half-opened her mouth for a long time before she spoke, "I ...... was joking with her ......"
Elaine said, "I don't find this funny."
Maple looked at Darnell again and reluctantly said, "Elaine will be marrying into our family in a while, this is our family business, it should have nothing to do with you."
"I don't have ......"
Darnell's voice rang out faintly, "It really doesn't matter."
Maple let out an inaudible sigh of relief.
Immediately after, Darnell added, "But it seems you have misunderstood, Elaine is not the one who was released from the engagement."
After saying that, he swept his gaze extremely coldly at Brendon and left without looking back.
Only after he left did Maple feel fully alive, completely surprised to actually meet him here.
Elaine said to her: "Aunt Maple, this is also the last time I call you so, I will not marry to the McPherson family, I am this lady temper, if you have to force my father, let me marry can also be, then we will see which one of us first can not stand, anyway, I definitely not will be aggrieved person. "
With that, she turned her head in style and left with a big stride.
Maple looked at her back, obviously pissed off, sneered out: "the James family now the situation, is not she said not to marry, not to marry, a little girl who does not know anything still dare to threaten me, I have to clean up her temper, see how proud she really is."
