Chapter 1192
It was her stepmother, her father''s current wife, who had told everyone that she was pregnant
before getting married.
Her grandmother was very protective of that woman now.
That was understandable.
She pursed her lips, knowing that she was unweed in this family, and yet she had returned. In
fact, she had hoped that everyone, especially her grandmother, could give them their blessings.
This was probably the wish of every granddaughter.
From the looks of it, it seemed that it was impossible to obtain her family''s affection.
She had known that she was unweed in this family, but she still couldn''t helping back and
bringing Zachary here.
She was so stupid; she shouldn''t havee.
She felt a pang in her heart. It was a sharp pain.
"Grandma, I know you don''t wee me here," Yvonne said with a bitter smile. She looked at the
olddy, but tears were glistening in her eyes.
ine froze. She looked at Yvonne, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
Zachary''s heart clenched, and he frowned immediately. He looked at Yvonne and silently held her
hand.
ine looked at their hands that were sped together and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Yvonne continued, "I''ve always known that I was a burden in this family. My father didn''t want me,
and you took me in, so I''m very grateful for that. However, this doesn''t mean that you like me. I''m
nothing but your responsibility, and I know my position very well."
"I wanted to make you proud and be the pride of the Attwood family, but I failed."
"What can I do? I''ve given birth to Maria, and I love Zachary. I gave birth to his child of my own free
will."
"You can me me and humiliate me, but you can''t me Zachary for anything because he knew
nothing. I made the decisions myself willingly. You can hate me and scold me, but I can''t stand you
treating him that way."
"Yvonne." Zachary stopped her with a pained expression. "Stop talking and calm down."
"Zachary." Yvonne shook her head. "It''s not your fault."
He coaxed softly, "Good girl, go out for a while. Let me talk to your grandma."
She shook her head firmly. "I''m not leaving."
"Then don''t say anything else," Zachary responded. "Don''t worry. If I can''t even take this, I''m not
qualified to be your husband. So, no matter what Grandma says, I won''t be angry. You don''t have to
stand up for me."
Yvonne looked at him in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes. Her eyes were filled with mixed
emotions.
Afterforting Yvonne and calming her down, Zachary turned his gaze to the olddy.
At this moment, the look in Madam ine''s eyes was a little calmer. She looked at him in silence.
He then spoke, "Grandma, I know that you are angry. ording to your family, what we did really
hurt your family''s reputation."
"It''s good that you know." Madam ine''s tone was full of sarcasm.
He then returned, "But let me ask you, which is more important, Yvonne''s happiness or the Attwood
family''s reputation?"
"Are you here to mock me?" The olddy immediately retorted. She looked at Zachary with anger in
her eyes.
"I dare not," Zachary responded calmly. "My family did not teach me to mock my elders arbitrarily.
Furthermore, you are my beloved woman''s grandmother."
"Then are you implying that the Attwood family''s teachings are poor?" ine''s voice was a little
sharp, and her gaze grew sharper as she regarded Zachary.
"I don''t mean that. However, you seem to be very sensitive, and pay extra attention to such shy
and impractical things," Zachary remarked. "In my opinion, Yvonne''s happiness is more important.
And as her grandmother, you have your way of doing things, so I dare not say anything more.
"I''m just worried about Yvonne. What kind of familial hardships did she have to endure in her past?"
"She had been so tolerant. Even when she was wronged, she wouldn''t say anything; she would
rather keep it to herself. Even if she had gotten pregnant before marriage, she had handled it all by
herself."
"Now I understand why. Because there was no one to help her."
"She could only rely on herself." "And I, Maria''s father, was the reason for her pregnancy. I feel even
more regretful and remorseful for not being there for her and not being able to take responsibility for
it."
"Now, my heart ached even more for Yvonne."
As Zachary spoke, he held Yvonne''s hand firmly. It was as if he wanted to protect her from the
whole world.
"The words that you''ve said to Yvonne just now, be it sarcasm or warning, I, Zachary, will treat them
as encouragement. In the future, I will treat Yvonne with kindness and give a life filled with
happiness and love in my family." Zachary turned his gaze to Yvonne and continued, "This time, we
havee to pay a visit and inform the Attwood family that we are married and that we will be
happy in the future."
ine replied with dissatisfaction, "You have already done it, and yet you still ask for my
blessings?"
"Yes." Zachary nodded his head. "There''s no other way. I''ve seen Wesley, whom you''ve introduced
to Yvonne. After two years, he still couldn''t forget Yvonne. I''m afraid that someone will snatch her
away from me, so I could only act first. Since I''ve already lost her once, I don''t want to lose her
again."
ine frowned as she asked, "You''ve even met Wesley?"
"Yes, Grandma. We''ve met."
"I don''t think much of you," the olddy responded. "Even though you guys have gotten your
marriage certificate, I don''t want to hide my opinions either. You look as beautiful as a woman;
you''re not reliable. If Yvonne stays with you, her happiness is not guaranteed."
Zachary was once again judged for his appearance and felt helpless. "My appearance is due to my
genes given by my parents; there''s nothing I can do about it. Yvonne is beautiful as well. The
flower-like girl is Yvonne. At most, I can only be called handsome. A beautiful girl and a handsome
boy is a good match, isn''t it?"
"You sure have a way with words," the olddy snorted. "Did you manage to get my granddaughter
with that glib tongue of yours?"
Yvonne paused. Granddaughter?
Upon hearing this, Yvonne felt a surge of emotions in her heart.
Did that mean that she still acknowledged her as her granddaughter?
She dared not wish so.
Yvonne''s eyes were red, and Zachary tightened his grip on her hand. The warmth from his palm
comforted her.
"This is all I wanted to say," Zachary said. "If I can persuade you to bless my marriage with Yvonne,
I will be very honored."

The olddy looked at him as she responded, "You''re already married. What you did was obviously
infuriating, yet you still want me to give you my blessings. Are you really that shameless?"
"To be honest, I have always thought that marriage is between two people and has nothing to do
with others, but I''ve neglected one thing. Elders like to manipte the marriage and love of the
younger generation. So now, I''ve changed my opinion. Marriage is a matter between two people.
However, as our elders, you do indeed have a say in this marriage. But at the same time, I also
think that you have no right to decide."
