Chapter 901
The smile on Siobhan's face slowly stiffened.
Not knowing the intricacies involved, Rita agreed readily, "All right. There are many rooms in the Gould Residence
anyway. You can ask your daddy to come over and spend time with you."
Siobhan quickly gave Rita a tug, looking awkward.
Noticing that something was off, Rita asked with a frown, "What's wrong? Is there something you can't say?"
Siobhan leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
There were deep furrows in Rita's brow. She lowered her voice and suddenly declared, "Just have them cancel the
wedding."
Siobhan froze at her words. Although Evelyn wasn't her biological daughter, they had still spent many years
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttogether. She simply couldn't bring herself to do it.
Just when she wanted to say something, she heard Rita continue, "She is that selfish woman's daughter. If it wasn't
for that woman back then, Nicole wouldn't have suffered so much outside. Now she is only able to marry Colton
because she is the descendant of the Wrenns and the Goulds. If she discarded this status, do you think the
Gardners would even spare her a glance?"
After knowing what had happened in the past, Rita no longer harbored positive impressions toward Evelyn, and
even her voice as she currently spoke was full of disdain.
"But the Gardner Family has already prepared everything. I don't think it's a good idea if we suddenly pull out of the
marriage," Siobhan said in Evelyn's defense.
Rita's eyes narrowed, and she said in a somber voice, "Nicole and Colton had Hayden, and Hayden has a good
relationship with his father. I've heard the Gardner Family's boy likes Nicole, so it's perfect to let the two get married
now. Either way, the rumor out there is that the Wrenn Family's young lady is getting married to the Gardner
Family's man in charge. Now, Evelyn is not a member of the Wrenn Family anymore, Nicole is."
Siobhan had no idea what to say in reply. She knew that Madeline's act of swapping the babies had created a sense
of disgust in Rita's heart. In addition, Evelyn had been raised abroad since she was a child, and hardly had any
interaction with Rita. Now that such a thing had happened, Rita naturally chose to take Nicole's side at the first
opportunity.
A trace of conflict flashed past Siobhan's eyes. After a moment of thought, she said slowly, "Mom, engagement isn't
just child's play."
"I know it isn't, so you have to make it clear to the Gardner Family. I remember that William killed Old Mrs. Gardner,
and because of this, they will never accept Evelyn because of her identity!" Rita bellowed.
"But the Gardner Family has already prepared everything. I don't think it's a good idea if we suddenly pull out of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmarriage," Siobhan said in Evelyn's defense.
Naturally, Siobhan was also well aware that Nicole could not be with Colton in the past because she was William's
daughter. But now things had reversed, and Evelyn was William's daughter instead. With Benedict's personality,
there was no way he would agree to the marriage.
Siobhan turned awkward, not knowing how to refute her mother's words.
In the end, Hayden noticed that things were escalating and spoke up. "Grandma Rita, can we go take a look
outside? You see, I've never been here before."
Upon hearing Hayden's soft and adorable voice, Rita immediately softened her countenance, figuring she shouldn't
be saying such things in front of a child.
"Sure, sweetie. Let's go for a walk outside." She then took Hayden's hand and slowly walked outside.
After the two left, someone suddenly emerged from a corner.
With a thump, Evelyn knelt in front of Siobhan, her face streaming with tears, her hands clutching at Siobhan's
trousers tightly. She said in a pitiful voice, "Mom… Mom, I beg you, don't tell the Gardner Family about this. I-I just
want to marry Colton. In just three days, my wish of more than 20 years will come true. I'm begging you…"
