Chapter 116
Chapter 116 I Only Knew Yesterday
“Young Lady Meredith, Young Master Pierre is here,” a servant said as she knocked on the door.
People were all talking about Meredith’s weddingst night, so everyone in the house was aware of it.
Rnd and Jezebelle even groused that Meredith was too tight-lipped about the matter.
When she heard those words, Meredith’s hand trembled. He’s here. Everyone received their invitations
yesterday, so he surely knows about this now. Thus, he hase to interrogate me? She hurriedly
stood up. “Got it.”
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she quickly picked up the powder puff and touched up her
makeup.
I’ve been putting on a pale countenance back when Jamie was sick, but I can now revert to my initial
beauty in front of him. Just when she was about to leave the room, Pierre had already walked to the
door. Her heart jolted when she glimpsed his sharp gaze. “You’re here, Pierre?”
The moment Pierre walked in the door, he spotted the mannequin in her room. The mannequin had a
wedding gown on it that was covered with a transparent stic film, probably to avoid dust.
Upon seeing that he was staring at the wedding gown, Meredith instantly blocked his line of sight with
her head ducked as though she was a shy lotus, her face stained with a hint of pink.
“Don’t look at it. I want to let you see it during the wedding, or else there won’t be a surprise.”
“When did you get to know about the wedding?” Pierre retracted his gaze since he wasn’t at all
interested in her wedding gown.
Lifting her head and tilting it to the side, Meredith gazed at him with an innocent expression on her
face. “What do you mean by that? Mr. and Mrs. Fowler called me over and told me about it.
They asked me to prepare whatever’s necessary. Since you’re too busy, I’ve been making the
preparations all this while. The timeframe is really tight. Why did you choose such an early date?”
Pierre pinned his darkened eyes on her.
I initially thought that she plotted the wedding with John Fowler, but it now seems as though she
doesn’t know anything about it.
Meredith met his gaze. “Are… you done with all the preparations? How does your tuxedo look? I’m
really looking forward to it since you’ll definitely look handsome in it.”
In reality, it was her who chose the tuxedo, so she’d long since known how it looked, but how could she
possibly dupe him if she didn’t say such a thing?
“I didn’t prepare anything.”
Meredith gaped at Pierre with a stunned expression. “You didn’t prepare anything? Why? This is our
wedding!”
“Because I only knew about the wedding yesterday.” Pierre spoke extremely slowly as though he was
feeling her out, his eyes never once leaving her.
All at once, Meredith’s eyes went wide. “Huh? Are you saying that Mr. and Mrs. Fowler prepared the
wedding behind your back?”
Pierre said nothing, tacitly confirming her conjecture.
As if she was at a loss for words, Meredith’s eyes darted around. Then, she opened her mouth, yet she
didn’t know what to say, her panicked expression wless. All of a sudden, she lifted her head, her
eyes brimming with tears. “Pierre, perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Fowler feel that the children should be with
their parents.
They only hope that we’ll be together as a family. They’re not doing this maliciously, so please don’t
me them. At worst… At worst…” She again lowered her head and bit her lip so hard that it almost
bled. “At worst, we’ll just not get married. If you’re unwilling, you can call off the wedding!” she dered
resolutely after what seemed like an eternity as she raised her head.
At that moment, their eyes met.
Meredith could hear her heart pounding wildly, so she tried her best to control herself as though afraid
that he would be able to hear her heartbeat.
