Chapter 1064
Looking back, he felt like a monkey being tricked. He thought he was charming and could easily win
her heart, but he did not expect that she wanted him only forthat stupid secret handbook.
That meant all of the previous actions, kisses, and coaxing was just for that stupid handbook?
What kind of woman was she? He had never met such a woman, and he did not know what to do with
her.
Now that he had figured it out, it did not matter anymore. He was not so obsessed with getting married
to her anymore. There were many other people out there for him to choose from, so why would he limit
himself to Heather alone?
After gaining the shares from the Riggs and taking over the Russell family, he could quickly get any
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwoman he wanted. It would be better than keeping a ticking bomb by his side. Thinking about it that
way, he felt much more comforted. The most urgent thing was to get his hands on the secret handbook.
He drove slowly and was not in a hurry. Margaret needed some time to lure them away. After they left,
it would be convenient for him to go in and find what he wanted.
In the Russell house, Margaret smiled, looked at Lily amiably, and said, “I was too strict with you earlier,
but now I have figured it out. Your wedding with Alex is approaching, and I don't have anything
expensive for you.
"This pair of gold bracelets was my dowry when I got married. Although the style may be old-fashioned,
the design is still quite classic. It'll be like a good luck charm for you."
Lily looked at the pair of bracelets in front of her and lightly denied them," Grandma, these are too
expensive. I can't bear to take them."
The bracelets were very high-quality. The gold was shiny, and it looked precious. Margaret had
probably spent a lot of money on it.
"Hey, you're my granddaughter-in-law, and you have my great-grandson in your belly, so why can’t you
accept it? It's my gift to you!" Before Lily could refuse again, Margaret continued, "If you don’t accept it,
it means you don't forgive me. It means that you still blame Grandma."
Do older people frequently employ these types of manipulation? Lily turned her head and glanced at
Alexander, sitting next to her. Recently, he had been working at home most of the time and would
spend a lot of time with her.
Of course, he was also guarding her, not letting her touch those bottles and jars when she was free. He
wanted her to have a safe pregnancy.
Alexander’s eyes were soft, and he said softly, "Since grandma said so, you can accept it. It's a gift
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom her kindness.”
"That's right! Accept it!" Margaret smiled, "According to the customs, I should also take part in
preparing the wedding with you, but a while ago..."
After a pause, she coughed lightly and said, "I was stubborn. I was upset with you because I thought
you would get married but didn't let me know first. Now I’ve understood. I’m not sure what you young
people like, either. The weather is nice today. How about we go shopping? I'd like to choose some gifts
for you. Let's spend some time together."
What she said was reasonable and hard for people to refuse.
Lily showed a look of embarrassment. "I rarely go out recently, and Alex wants me to stay at home with
peace of mind."
"Yeah, Lily is pregnant now. It's better to go out as little as possible and rest more at home! Besides,
Grandma, you don't need to prepare anything. We’re all prepared, so you don’t have to worry about it
anymore," Alexander directly refused.
