Chapter 1403


    The marriage between Grant family and Miller family was finally decided. The elders of the two


    families seemed to be very satisfied. As time passed, delicious food was alreadyid out on the


    long dining table. It was time for dinner.


    The two old masters sat on the main seats, the Grant family''s parents and Joseph siblings on one


    side, and the Miller Family''s members on the other.


    Alvina sneaked a peek at Joseph. He was very calm andposed, smiling when he should, not


    smiling when he pursed his lips, but giving people a feeling of warmth like jade.


    Wendy was his sister; Alvina had seen her in Joseph''s photo album on his phone. The cute little girl


    was also obedient at this moment, sitting there without making a fuss, but her big, watery eyes


    continued to stare at Alvina from time to time, as if she wanted to size up this future sister—inw


    carefully.


    Alvina was restless because she felt that all of the Grant family members were watching her. She


    could only bend her lips stiffly, so as to lookposed and not lose etiquette.


    Victoria and Amy sat beside Alvina, the three women acting together. Joseph''s sharp eyes swept


    across them and he knew how difficult the situation Alvina was in at the Miller Family.


    On the other hand, Alvina only had the care of the old man who was just around the age of thirty.


    The old man was not her parents, so he was unable to take care of the details. So, Alvina''s face


    was a little indifferent.


    As Joseph thought of this, his heart inexplicably ached for a moment. The gaze he looked at Alvina


    with also carried an extra touch of gentleness and pity.


    "In the future, we will be family, so there''s no need to be polite. Households oftene to eat, so


    it''s not appropriate to greet them." The Old Master Millerughed and talked, and then, everyone


    started to eat and talk.


    Victoria and Amy had no appetite, because they did not ruin the engagement ceremony. They were


    extremely annoyed.


    Victoria was unwilling, thus at the table, she gazed upon Joseph with her tender and affectionate


    eyes, hoping that the man opposite her would ept her hints of admiration.


    Unfortunately, Joseph was like a block of wood, his gaze was focused on his elder''s speech, as if


    he could not ept Victoria''s gaze, and this made Victoria feel defeated.


    After dinner was over, they moved to the living room for a break. The two old men started to chat


    about their years of friendship, and they happily chatted with each other. Half an hourter, the


    Grant family decided to return first.


    The Old Master Miller immediately said to Alvina who was sitting beside him, "Go send Joseph''s


    family off!"


    Alvina didn''t have any reason to be slow. She quickly stood up and followed her uncle''s group to


    send the Grant family off.


    Throughout the whole process, Joseph and Alvina had not conversed much, even their gazes did


    notmunicate much, thus, no one could find anything wrong with the conversation, it was just


    that they felt that the two of them were not serious enough towards marriage.


    Alvina let out a long sigh of relief.


    "Alright, let''s go back and rest. Alvina,e to grandpa''s roomter. grandpa has something to tell


    you!" With Old Master Miller''s order, everyone left.


    Alvina obediently knocked on his grandfather''s door. The old man drank a cup of tea andughed:


    "The Grant family is very satisfied with you."


    "Ah? Grandfather, how did you know? " Alvina''s beautiful eyes instantly widened in shock, but when


    they were chatting just now, she clearly hadn''t heard the evaluation that the Grant family members


    gave her.


    "I just called Joseph''s grandpa and he told me!" The old man said happily.


    "Grandfather, today I acted like I was made of wood. I can only giggle. Does Uncle and Aunt of the


    Grant family really have no objections to me?" Alvina''s beautiful face was filled with sorrow.


    "As long as Joseph likes you, his family will definitely like you. They believe in their son''s judgement


    and won''t make a mistake." Old Master Miller quicklyforted her granddaughter, afraid that she


    would think too much into it.


    "Then I will do my best in the future!" Alvinaughed bitterly, this was all she could do for now.


    On the way back, Ms. Grant intentionally squeezed into her son''s car, leaving Joseph with no


    choice.


    "Miller Family, these three daughters are pretty good." The Ms. Grant said.


    "Yeah, it''s not bad!" Joseph nodded.


    "Then why didn''t you pick the other two?" Ms. Grant stared at his son and asked.


    Joseph was startled, and then he did not know whether tough or to cry: "Mom, you think that they


    are my products, if you want to pick, just do so, and anyway, I find it pleasing to look at, I do not like


    the two of them."


    "Mom is also an experienced woman. I can see it. I can tell that Alvina is a girl who knows her


    ce. With the old man''s teachings, she must have put in quite a bit of effort. Her personality is


    calm and steady, it''s pretty good, and so she''s suitable to be a wife.” Ms. Grant gave a positive


    evaluation.


    Joseph''s bright eyes lit up as he asked in shock, "Mom, do you really think this way?"


    "Of course. I like girls like Alvina who don''t panic at all, she isn''t like her two younger cousins, who


    have unease written all over their faces." Ms. Grant was also a knowledgeable person,she knew


    what kind of girl was suitable for his son.


    "Mom, your words are quite pitiful. After I marry her, I will treat her well." Joseph''s voice was heavy


    and it was difficult to hide the pain in his heart.


    You love her, she definitely knows in her heart that the human heart is solft, and that she will be


    good to you in the future, okay? Alright, that''s fine, let''s do it this way, we''ll get engaged first, wait


    until our career is stable, then we''ll start the wedding. Your grandfather already told us about your


    situation, and we also agree to do it temporarily. Ms. Grant felt that it was not wrong that she had


    raised his son into a warm man. He had the ability to love others and could also sense how others


    treated him well. This kind of perception is very rare.


    "Mom, thank you!" Joseph revealed a rare hint of a childish smile.


    "What are you thanking me for? You''re Mom''s most proud son. No matter what you do, Mom will


    support you. If you choose your wife, Mom will treat her well." Ms. Grant Signed and patted his


    son''s shoulder.


    Inside the living room of Miller Family''s second vi, Victoria sneered with a dark expression:


    "Father, I heard them arguing with each other with my own ears. Really, they don''t love each other


    at all.


    Paul and his daughter also sat down, all of their expressions were gloomy.

    "Yes, I heard it, but why are they still willing to be engaged?"It''s really strange." Amy was also


    confused.


    "They are only engaged for mutual benefits. Your grandfather has also been busy getting in touch


    with the old politicians these days, it seems like he is also umting information to help Joseph


    make connections." Nathan taunted.


    "Dad, Why does Grandfather have to be so good to Alvina?! We didn''t even see him being good to


    us!" Victoria suddenly became hurt, her eyes turning red: "We are both the granddaughters of the


    Miller Family, They are treating us like we were just brought back, and we are definitely not like the


    treasures in my grandfather''s hands."


    "Shut up, don''t say these kinds of words again in the future, and let her not say them in front of your


    grandfather." Nathan immediately reprimanded his daughter, preventing her from saying such words


    that didn''t know the seriousness of the situation.


    "What I''m saying is the truth, why don''t you say it? Grandfather must be biased, right?" Victoria felt


    even more wronged.


    "Actually, this is our fault as well. After big brother passed away, we were too eager to gain


    immediate benefits, and your grandfather only began to scheme for Alvina because he had no one


    to rely on in the Miller Family and had no one to rely on in the future." Paul lowered his head and


    started to me himself.


    "You''re right, your grandfather isn''t biased; he just wants to bnce the interests of the Miller


    Family. If Alvina didn''t marry a man he can rely on, he''s afraid that we would harm her in the future."


    Nathan also thought of this point.


    The topic was getting more sensitive, Paul immediately got up and prepared to leave: " Brother, I''ll


    go back with Amy first, rest early!"


    "Alright, you can go back now." Nathan raised his hand. Once Paul and her father had left, Nathan''s


    expression became even uglier.


    "Father, is Third Uncle still not willing to give you control of the put thepany?" Victoria asked as


    she changed her face.


    "It won''t be that easy for him to hand it over." Nathan coldly snorted: "I had originally nned to let


    Alvina''s shares sell to me, but now it seems that it wouldn''t be so easy to obtain it here."


    "Then if Third Uncle obtains Alvina''s shares, wouldn''t thepany have the final say?" Victoria


    asked nervously.


    "Of course, only those who have more shares will have the right to speak!" Nathan snorted.


    "Then we didn''t get it. Third Uncle won''t get it either. We''ll just stay deadlocked like this. Dad has


    the most authority right now anyway!" Victoria smiled optimistically.
