Chapter 216 -216 It’s Not Nice to Wear a Wedding Dress with a Big Belly
Vivia Fuller…
“Little Hope.” Alitzel Williams approached following the voice and saw that Vivia Fuller was also there. Her eyes dimmed slightly, “Vivia is here too.”
“Mother.” Vivia Fuller immediately switched to a smiling facade.
Alitzel Williams nodded slightly to show politeness, “Vivia, why do you look unwell? What were you just talking about?”
Vivia Fuller opened her mouth, her tone relaxing slightly, “It’s nothing, just clarifying some misunderstandings with Miss Williams.”
“Misunderstandings?”
Alitzel Williams looked back and forth between the calm-faced Hope Williams and the stiff-faced Vivia Fuller.
“Yes, Mia is young and doesn’t understand the world. A few days ago, at the Knox family’s banquet, when she saw Mr. Knox chatting happily with Miss Williams, she misunderstood their relationship. Because of this matter, Mr. Knox even canceled his engagement with Mia, and she has already been punished. Now, her father is keeping her confined at home.
So, I would like to ask Miss Williams to forgive Mia. After all, she didn’t do it on purpose.”
Hope Williams slightly raised her eyebrows.
The implication of her words was that Mia Fuller had found out that she might have something going on with Alexander Knox, leading to a misunderstanding of their relationship, which caused Alexander Knox to cancel his engagement with Mia Fuller.
As for whether this was a real misunderstanding or a false one, she left that for Alitzel Williams to deduce.
She just wanted Alitzel Williams to misunderstand something, didn’t she?
It had to be acknowledged that Vivia Fuller was indeed quite clever. With her pearly teeth and ruby lips, her ability to twist the truth was certainly not average. Her statements were tightly linked, as if fearing that a word spoken too lightly wouldn’t kill her.
Alitzel Williams’s brows slightly furrowed, and her gaze shifted to Hope Williams. After pondering for a few seconds, she asked, “Little Hope, do you have a good relationship with Mr. Knox?”
“I know him.”
“You know him? Then why would Mia Fuller misunderstand the two of you?”
Hope Williams was about to speak when Vivia Fuller suddenly raised her voice and preempted her, “Mother, it’s probably because of an incident that happened a while ago. I heard that Miss Williams and Mr. Knox went out to eat alone. Mia saw them at the time, so she must have misunderstood.”
Eating alone?
Indeed, it was such a misleading choice of words.
A wave of concern surged between Alitzel Williams’s brows. Hope Williams was really too beautiful, a great temptation for men.
Not seeking out men herself didn’t mean that men wouldn’t seek her out!
Seeing Alitzel Williams’s displeased expression, clearly taking her words to heart, Vivia Fuller showed a triumphant smile.
Even if she couldn’t kill Hope Williams, this little wench now, she certainly couldn’t let her live comfortably.
So what if she remarried Waylon Lewis? If they had a poor relationship with the mother-in-law, their marriage would collapse just the same.
“Is that true, Little Hope?” Alitzel Williams’s expression deepened.
Dining with Alexander Knox was something she couldn’t deny, “Yes, but…”
“Enough!” Alitzel Williams raised her hand to interrupt Hope Williams, “Don’t explain, I don’t want to hear it.”
Hearing Alitzel Williams’s tone, Mia Fuller couldn’t be too happy.
It seemed that she really had misunderstood.
“Vivia, thank you for telling me.” Alitzel Williams turned back and smiled at Vivia Fuller.
Vivia Fuller curled her lips, “You’re welcome, Mother.” She just wanted her to leave the Lewis family as soon as possible.
Vivia Fuller glanced at Hope Williams, her eyes filled with smug satisfaction.
“Little Hope, you and Waylon must get married as soon as possible – not just get married, but have a big wedding.”
Vivia Fuller and Hope Williams were both stunned.
Especially Vivia Fuller, the expression on her face froze awkwardly, looking particularly unattractive.
Alitzel Williams took Hope Williams’s hand and said, “We must let every man in the city know that you’re the daughter-in-law of the Lewis family, Waylon’s wife. I want to see who would dare to covet you.”
Alitzel Williams held Hope Williams’ hand and said to Vivia Fuller, “Thank you, Vivia. Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought of that.”
Vivia Fuller’s lips involuntarily twitched twice, and no matter what, she couldn’t squeeze out a smile on her stiff face.
“Vivia, you should head back as well, Little Hope and I are leaving first.” As Alitzel Williams left while holding Hope Williams’ hand, she continued, “Little Hope, let’s go look at wedding dresses later tonight, we need to get it done sooner rather than later.”
Hope Williams smiled with her eyes downcast, “What’s this about?”
After they had walked a distance, Alitzel Williams hummed in contemplation, “I’ve lived for such a long time; do you think I can’t see through these women’s little schemes? She’s just trying to sow discord between us, but she’s really underestimating me. Do I look like someone without a brain? Playing little tricks in front of me, she’s still too green.
Besides, if you were really that kind of flighty woman, you would have been with another man during the years away from Waylon, and he would have no chance.”
Was she really so silly to listen to such divisive words?
A beautiful curve formed on the corner of Hope Williams’ mouth, and her clear, distinct eyes softened, “Thank you, Mom.”
She was indeed standing up for her against Vivia Fuller, showing her support. One could imagine how awful Vivia Fuller’s expression must be.
“Thank what? Since you are going to be my daughter-in-law, of course I have to protect you.” Alitzel Williams said with a face full of maternal protection, “But do you really plan to wait until the old man’s surgery and recovery to marry Waylon?”
“Yes, Grandpa is important.”
“You really… what girl doesn’t look forward to her wedding? If we wait for the old man to recover, your wedding might be delayed again and again. You’ll have to wait a while.”
“It’s okay, whether it’s done sooner or later doesn’t really make a difference to me.”
“That’s not it, mainly I’m still a bit worried.” Alitzel Williams pondered.
Hope Williams looked curiously at Alitzel Williams, “About what?”
“It’ll be almost half a year from the old man’s surgery till his recovery, right? What if you’re pregnant by then, and it affects how the wedding dress fits?” Alitzel Williams asked earnestly, “This is something you have to consider carefully.”
Hope Williams’ face turned red.
“Maybe you should remind Waylon to be a little more careful, a girl only gets one chance to wear a wedding dress, it has to be…”
“Cough cough… Mom, this… this…” Hope Williams awkwardly interrupted Alitzel Williams.
“Oh, don’t be shy, I’m serious…”
Hope Williams bit her lip, looking for an excuse to change the subject, “Mom, I understand what you’re saying. Since nobody is with Grandpa, you should go back first. I still have some things to do here and will go there once I’m finished.”
Upon hearing this from Hope Williams, Alitzel Williams did remember her own urgent matters; before leaving, she specifically reminded Hope, with the old man being hospitalized, relatives visiting was inevitable, and she should also call Waylon Lewis to come over.
As the eldest grandson, it would be improper for him not to be there while the old man was hospitalized.
Rushing off, Alitzel Williams reminded Hope Williams a couple more times before leaving.
Back in the office, Hope Williams sat in front of her computer, the surgery plan for the old man she had figured out long ago.
As for the paper Director Woods had mentioned, Hope Williams crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair to think for a while. Then, with a spark in her eyes, her fingers began to dance on the keyboard, and a long discourse quickly unfolded.
After some time, Hope Williams’ phone rang.
She got up and saw the caller ID, her eyes softening.
Gently sliding her finger, the exceptionally handsome face of Waylon Lewis appeared on her phone screen.
“Are you busy?”
“I am a bit,” Hope Williams smiled and nodded, “I’ve taken care of all the arrangements for Grandpa’s admittance, so you don’t have to worry.”
“You always handle things in a way that gives people peace of mind.”
“Have you had lunch?”
“Not yet, I just finished up.”
Hope Williams pouted, “I know you’re busy, but you still need to eat.”
Waylon Lewis smiled, the corners of his lips lifting, “I’ll listen to you.”
