Chapter 1223


    Madam ine froze and she subconsciously nced at Zachary.


    This reaction was quite interesting to Zachary. It seemed like Madam ine had yet to tell Wesley


    the truth.


    Yvonne had already gotten married, but Madam ine had yet to tell Wesley this. Instead, they


    were still walking around the za. This made things weird.


    Zachary shot Madam ine a sharp nce and casually greeted her, "Grandma."


    Madam ine pursed her lips and simply nodded as a polite response.


    Wesley couldn''t help but ask, "Grandma, do tell me, what''s wrong with this guy?"


    Madam ine still kept quiet.


    By this moment, Wesley already noticed the awkwardness and frowned as he stared at Zachary,


    asking, "Hey, what''s going on. Why are you literally everywhere?"


    Meanwhile, Yvonne didn''t pay much attention to Wesley.


    Madam ine also kept quiet, making the entire situation more awkward and weird.


    Zachary smirked faintly and replied, "Mr. Spencer, it''s obvious, isn''t it? I frequently appear at


    Yvonne''s side because I have a close rtionship with Yvonne."


    "I am Yvonne''s fiance," Wesley pointed at Madam ine and said, "Grandma admitted it


    personally."


    "I apologize," Zachary was very polite as he continued, "It just so happens that I''m Yvonne''s legal


    husband and we have already gotten our marriage certificate. Mr. Spencer, I''m really touched that


    you adore my wife so much, but unfortunately, she is my wife."


    Wesley stared at Madam ine in disbelief, "Grandma, why aren''t you saying anything?"


    Madam ine nced at Zachary with a hint of impatience before admitting, "Wesley, they are


    indeed married."


    "What?" Wesley was astonished, "Grandma, w-why didn''t you tell me earlier?"


    "I only found out about it recently. To be exact, just yesterday."


    "But, I was at home just now. Why didn''t you tell me?" Wesley immediately let go of Madam ine''s


    hand. He chuckled lightly and said sarcastically, "You didn''t tell me because you are lying to me just


    so I could apany you for the past few years. Now that I think about it, it''s really ridiculous."


    Madam ine''s face turned a little pale after being questioned.


    However, Zachary and Yvonne just stood there and did not say anything.


    Only then did Madam ine say, "I''m sorry, Wesley. There''s nothing I can do. I''m sorry."


    "I don''t need your apology," Wesleyughed coldly, "I''m just blind. Yvonne Attwood, I I guess I was


    just thinking ahead of myself. Don''t worry. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."


    Yvonne hoped so too.


    Still, she kept quiet.


    When Madam ine saw how Wesley acted, she tried calling out to him, "Wesley."


    "Goodbye," Wesley turned around and left.


    "Wesley Spencer!" Madam ine shouted from behind, but Wesley ignored her and left on his own.


    Soon, he had left.


    It was only then that Madam ine looked away and turned to look at the couple. She said angrily,


    "Are you both satisfied now?" "Not really," Zachary said frankly, "Madam ine, the reason you


    didn''t tell him is because you are lonely and you wish to have someone to apany you, am I


    right? That''s why you tricked this little fellow here to apany you."

    Madam ine''s expression turned even gloomier when she heard that, "What nonsense are you


    spouting?"


    Zachary smirked and stepped forward. He said to Yvonne, "Yvonne, why don''t we apany


    Madam ine for a walk."


    Yvonne was in a daze. When she saw how awkward her Grandma was acting, she also hurriedly


    walked over and grabbed her arm.


    At the same time, Madam ine swung her hand and wanted to shake her off.


    Zachary said, "I advise you not to shake Yvonne''s hand away. The water fountain here in the za


    usually spills a lot of water around. It would not be nice if you identally slipped and fell."


    Just as Zachary said so, Madam ine actually slipped and almost fell.


    Thankfully, Yvonne hurriedly grabbed her arm and helped her regain bnce.


    Madam ine was still in shock. She looked at Zachary awkwardly.


    "At such an old age, you should have experienced more than us. You don''t have to worry too much


    about what we say or be afraid of losing your ego. We are a family. Holding yourself back because


    of your self- esteem is bound to cause mimunications," Madam ine was frozen in ce


    after listening to Zachary''s words. She stared deeply into Zachary''s eyes and did not speak, simply


    allowing Yvonne to continue helping her up.


    The three of them quickly left the fountain area.


    Madam ine remained silent for a bit until Yvonne asked her, "Grandma, it''s sote, where are


    you going?"


    "It''s so boring, so I came out for a walk," She said indifferently.


    Was she really lonely?


    Yvonne was dumbfounded for a moment. After her grandfather passed away, her grandmother was


    the only person left in the house. Her father would onlye back and visit her whenever she had


    money to give him.


    Yvonne seemed to understand her suffering.


    She pursed her lips and said softly, "Grandma, my dad paid me a visit today."


    Madam ine''s entire body went rigid. Some timeter, she turned around to look at Yvonne and


    asked, "Why did he look for you?" "He wants money from us," Yvonne did not hide anything and


    said bluntly, "He asked Zachary for the betrothal gift."


    "The betrothal gift?" Madam ine frowned, "How much did he ask for?"


    "Ten million dors."


    Madam ine took a deep breath and the atmosphere fell silent.


    Zachary saw the disappointment in her eyes. Madam in was deeply disappointed. It seemed that


    she was also holding back her anger.


    At that moment, Zachary suddenly had a feeling that she wasn''t doting on her son as much as he


    expected.


    After a moment of silence, she finally snapped, "Ignore him. He''s gone mad."


    "Grandma, you are wise," Zachary added.


    Madam ine was direct, "It''s not because I''m considerate of you two. It''s just that he is too greedy.


    He will eventually drown in his own greed." "Oh!" Zachary nodded and dragged out his voice,


    saying, "We know that you love your son very much. In your eyes, your son must be your top


    priority."


    As a response, Madam ine frowned and looked at Zachary with displeasure.


    Zachary smirked and continued, "Grandma, are you refuting me silently?" "You talk too much,"


    Madam ine remarked, "You are too annoying. Shut up."


    Zachary was stupefied. He thought that he had been looked down upon.


    After being together with Yvonne recently, he found that he had be more talkative.


    Judging from Madam ine''s looks, she was obviously very lonely. It was likely that she called for


    Wesley to apany her on walks because she was didn''t want to be alone at home. Maybe that


    was why she desperately wanted someone to talk to.


    However, she was stubborn.


    The reason why he had said so was because he didn''t want her to be too arrogant. She was old


    and she had to admit that she was weak. Instead, she gave him the cold shoulder.


    Yvonne felt quite helpless.


    She really felt that Zachary was probably wronged for being told that he was talkative.


    With that, she turned to look at him.


    Zachary smiled without saying anything.


    It seemed that he was very calm.


    Hence, Yvonne was much relieved.


    Madam ine took a few steps and suddenly asked Yvonne, "What happened in the end?"


    Yvonne was stunned, "Grandma, are you talking about my dad?"
