"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 sternly said: "Elaine, you think you are still the high and mighty the James family lady, now the
James family has long been the James family of the past, your grandfather is gone, no one has long
been bowing to your orders, your father knows to find another way out Your father knows how to find
another way out, but you are the only one who has a Missy temper and doesn't know how to control it."
Brendon saw that the two of them were getting more and more loud and had drawn a crowd of
onlookers around, he went up and whispered, "Mom, stop it."
Maple pulled him away: "What I do not say, I have to give her a clear today, or really think of
themselves as an unattainable princess, Elaine, you have been cancelled before, now we are willing to
engage you, despite past suspicions, and also good words to serve, is enough to give your family face,
you are still here to play a lady temper You really don't know what's good or bad."
Elaine clenched her fists and turned slightly red.
Out of good breeding, she doesn't fight or curse.
Not to mention for such shameless people.
But ......
Learned a little from Sherry when I was on the South Side.
Elaine took a deep breath: "You ...... you nonsense, I was cancelled what happened to the
engagement, not you do not care about the past, but you see my father's power, want him to spare no
effort to help you, so you have the cheek to come to me three or four times, my father has told you , I
will not marry someone I do not like, and now you want to force me to go to the wedding dress, you are
a bad woman!"
Maple froze and was about to snap when she saw the person walking behind Elaine and blushed
slightly.
Brendon also saw it and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Elaine saw that they all stopped talking and instead stared behind her, and she subconsciously turned
her head.
Wide-eyed at the sight of the visitor.
Soon, Darnell stood beside her, looking calmly at Maple, spitting out words, but let people fall into the
ice: "If the James family elders are all people like you, then the James family really does not have the
need to exist anymore."
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."
