Chapter 57 True Love


    What an amazing scheme Evelyn had in mind.


    She was such a schemer that if ire really married into the Morgans, war would definitely be waged between them.


    Fortunately, Xander had cheated on ire to get together with rissa. Otherwise, ire might have actually married him.


    Thank goodness!


    Evelyn was surprised to see rejoice sh in ire’s eyes. Still, now that she had said her piece,


    it was time for her to head home and deal with Xander and that vixen he liked.


    “I’ll give you three days to properly consider this, ire. I’ll call you.”


    With that, Evelyn then grabbed her purse and stood up. After giving ire a kind smile, she walked away.


    Inside the Morgan residence, rissa and Xander were watching a show while sitting on the couch. Upon seeing the happy wedding scene the show ended on, rissa pouted in distress.


    “Xander, why hasn’t your mothere home yet? It has been days.”


    Xander took her hand and lifted it up to his lips for a gentle kiss as he reassured her, “She’ll be back soon.“”


    rissa scowled at him. “Don’t you know when your mother’sing home?”


    “You know what my mother’s like. It’s enough that she can tell me what her schedule looked like.”


    Xander did not want to talk about it anymore, so he pointed to the wedding shown on the screen and said with a smile. “rissa, I promise you that our wedding will be even more extravagant and grand than this. For our wedding, the Vanderbilts will all fly in from Ascalon. You’ll receive so many. gifts that you’ll be exhausted from counting them. I hear that the Vanderbilts are still very traditional. At every wedding, the elders will each give the bride a gold bracelet. Your arms will be covered in so much gold that your arms will be aching.”


    While rissa preferred diamonds and gemstones, gold bracelet was still worth a lot of money. Why refuse something given for free? The future Xander spoke of was so grand that her entire face lit up with joy. “Really? Will we be having a grand wedding then? I do so want to wear my wedding dress.”


    Xander raised a hand to gently brush a finger down her nose. “That’s easily done. We’ll just have a grand ceremony. We’ll receive huge the amount of wedding gifts then.”


    “Hahaha! Okay. I love it. I would be willing to sit through ten wedding ceremonies like that.”


    With how loud the television was and the excitement they felt, they did not even notice that someone else had entered the house.


    rissa wrapped her arms around Xander’s neck and coyly asked, “I want a wedding dress designed and sewn by Summer, Xander. I hear it will take at least six months for amission. How about you orde the dress for me now?”


    Summer was one of the best fashion designers in the world. The most basic custom wedding dress tha did not have any diamonds on it would cost at least five million if it were made by Summer. Xander immediately looked pained upon hearing that name.


    “rissa, the deposit for a custom wedding dress from Summer is one million. I can’t afford that right now.””


    “Ask her for the money when your mother returns!” rissa pleaded with a kiss on the corner of his lips. Her eyes were squinted in a bright grin as she cutely begged, “Please? Pretty please?”


    Deep down, Xander knew just how far his parents would go for him. If the money were to be spent on hin his parents would pay without hesitation. However, they might not be willing to pay for rissa’s wedding dress.


    “Why don’t we order a dress from a local designer, rissa? It’ll be cheaper and equally beautiful


    “No!” rissa immediately let go of Xander’s neck and angrily crossed her arms before her chest. “I want a dress by Summer. I won’t wear a dress designed by anyone else!”


    “rissa,” Xander patiently coaxed.


    “Xander Morgan!” rissa’s spoiled princess personality finally showed. She had always gotten whatever the wanted. If she did not, she would immediately fly into a fit of rage. “If you won’t buyme a dress from Summer, I won’t marry you at all!”


    “Good!”


    Evelyn had spoken almost as soon as rissa had finished speaking. “You aren’t engaged anyway, so i doesn’t matter if you don’t get married.”


    That voice…


    rissa’s heart sank hard. She was so surprised that she immediately leaped from the couch. When she turned around, she found Evelyn standing by the wine cab in the living room with her arms crossed as she calmly stared at rissa.


    Even when Evelyn did not speak and just stood there, she exuded a powerful presence that felt oppressive to rissa.


    Xander shot to his feet as well in surprise. Shocked, he asked, “When did you get back, Mom?”


    Evelyn coldly sneered and loftily strode past them to sit in an armchair. She only spared rissa a disdainful nce before turning her attention to her son. “What’s wrong? Am I interrupting something?”


    Xander hurriedly stered on an apologetic smile. “Not at all. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be back until tomorrow or the day after? I’m just surprised to see you back today.“”


    As he spoke, he tugged rissa’s arm and kept shooting her nces.


    rissa bit her lip in awkwardness and meekly greeted, “Mrs. Evelyn.”


    Evelynpletely ignored her, however, and lowered her head to carefully examine her nails while continuing to exude a powerful presence.


    “I know it’s true love, so I won’te between you.”


    rissa should have been happy to hear that, but she did not feel a single ounce of joy at all. That was because Evelyn’s voice was so frigid that it filled rissa with fear instead of warmth.


    With a mocking chuckle, Evelyn continued, “rissa, I trust you and the Donovans actually like my son for himself, not for his family. Hence, my husband and I have decided to let Xander marry into your family instead. From now on, he is no longer part of the Morgans. We don’t care even if you treat him like a ve.


    With a mocking chuckle, Evelyn continued, “rissa, I trust you and the Donovans actually like my son for himself, not for his family. Hence, my husband and I have decided to let Xander marry into your family instead. From now on, he is no longer part of the Morgans. We don’t care even if you treat him like a ve.”


    Marry into the Donovans?N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    rissa’s eyes widened with shock as she stared at Evelyn in disbelief.


    Was that really something that shoulde out of the mouth of the esteemed Morgans of Silverton?


    That meant the Morgans were washing their hands off of Xander, right? By letting Xander the Donovans, he would have to fend for himself.


    Haha…


    rissa felt like she had just been told the world’s greatest joke.


    She did not believe it at all.


    As for Xander, he was even more reluctant to believe his mother’s words. He walked around the coffee table and over to Evelyn as he huffily asked, “Are you pulling my leg. Mom?”


    “Not at all.”


    Evelyn ced her hand down and gracefully looked up at her son with a kind look on her face. “Xander, I’ve returned home to help out with your marriage. Since you and rissa love each other so much, you should marry into her family.”


    “Mother!”


    Xander was so furious that the look on his face could curdle milk
