Matriarch of the Hockleys

"Mrs. Gregg?" Doris shook, but she still leaned there motionless. "Mr. Greg, 'Mrs. Greg is asleep,"

She stood up and shook, and Eden hurried over. "Are you all right, Miss William?"

"It's okay, just a little dizzy?" Doris grabbed Eden's arm and barely stabilized her figure.

Eden hurriedly supported her, turned around and said to Mr. Greg, "She seems a little drunk, then we will leave first, sorry to disturb you, thank you for your hospitality tonight."

"Oh, be careful on the road." Mr. Greg didn't dare to keep it. Who knows if Miss William will stain the carpet, and it will cost money to wash it.

When Eden helped Doris to the back seat, and when he got into the car, he saw that Greg Manor had become pitch black, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

"Come on, be careful," Eden brought Doris to her bedroom, "I'll ask the maid to come up and change your clothes."

As he said that, he wanted to go outside.

"Stop!" Doris rushed over and hugged his waist, "Why don't you like me, huh? Why is your heart so hard?"

"Miss William, you're drunk," he wanted to pull Doris away, but was worried about hurting her. "May I help you to lie down on the bed?"

"No," Doris pushed Eden down, "I'm not drunk,"

She walked up to Eden and wanted to pull off Eden's clothes, "Stay here today, okay?"

Eden grabbed her hand to stop her movement. Looking into Doris's bright eyes, he suddenly didn't know whether Doris was really drunk or pretended to be drunk.

Doris failed to touch his collar as she wished, she was stunned and began to take off her clothes.

Eden quickly looked away, "Stop, Doris!" Doris, who was half off, stopped what she was doing, "Doris? You finally called me that, am I dreaming? "

Regardless of the slipped clothes, she hugged Eden tightly, almost exposing her upper body to the air. "I love you, Eden. Stay!"

I don't know if he was obsessed, but Eden's hand touched Doris's delicate skin like snow satin, and he impatiently kissed Doris' lips.

Like fireworks, they lit up in an instant.Eden hugged her and walked towards the bed, the quilt covered the room with spring light.

When the sun rose, Eden turned over, and when he saw the dressing table next to him, he remembered what happened last night.But he sat up propped up, but did not see Doris.He hurriedly dressed and ran down.

"Where's Miss William?" He looked around the first floor but couldn't find Doris, and asked the maid anxiously.

"It seems to be in the garden." As soon as the maid finished speaking, Eden ran out.

"Doris," he called, running up to Doris.

Eden took a breath before looking at Doris. "Aren't you going to rest for a while?" As soon as the words fell, Eden wanted to hit himself, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"It's okay. Forget about what happened yesterday." Doris said calmly, as if the weather was fine today.

"Forget?" Eden said incredulously, he adjusted his mood before opening his mouth again, "Why? What do you mean?" Eden suddenly panicked.

"Yesterday, we all drank. It was just a mistake. Remembering it will embarrass us, so let's forget it." In fact, Doris did not lose consciousness yesterday.She was very clear about what she said and what she did, and she was surprised that Eden could stay.

But she wouldn't expect him to change his mind about her because of this.Instead of getting along strangely, it's better to pretend that nothing happened, at least they can still get along as usual.

"I want to marry you." Eden looked at Doris seriously, with a very solemn tone.

Hearing this sentence, Doris was taken aback.Suddenly she laughed, "Is it because of the absurdity yesterday?"

"I provoked it, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to be responsible." Doris wanted to agree, but she reluctantly refused.She couldn't accept the calculated marriage, even if it was with the one she loved.Because she was afraid that the other party would show disappointment in herself after knowing the truth.

"It's not just because of this." Eden pursed his lips, "Didn't you say that our conditions are a good match? You have also reached the age of marriage, why don't we try? Instead of marrying a man who has never met, Wouldn't it be a good choice to marry me?"

"Sorry," Doris wanted to say 'yes', but she still didn't dare to say yes.

"What if you're pregnant? What should you do?" Eden looked at Doris' belly, questioning in his tone.

"I will kill it, you don't have to worry that I will give birth to the child and disturb your life." Doris suppressed her crying.

"Get married!" He hugged Doris, "Give me a chance to take care of you."

"Don't you suspect that I did it on purpose yesterday!?" Just when Doris thought he would be angry, Eden smiled.

"Then treat it as me!" After finishing speaking, he kissed that chattering little mouth.

No one saw Carl behind the bed curtain in Andrea's bedroom. Looking at the scene in the garden, he raised his eyebrows.

It seems that he will be able to marry Andrea home soon, and Bruce should have no time to hinder himself.

When they walked into the living room intimately together, Carl didn't show a surprised expression.Instead, Doris let go of her hand in embarrassment.

"I'll go upstairs to see Andrea." She walked upstairs as if fleeing.

"Are you together?" Carl looked at his future 'brother-in-law', "It's pretty fast."

"We're getting married," Eden said happily, and this was the first time he spoke so kindly to Carl.

"It's going very well. We may not be far away by then. Andrea has already agreed to my marriage proposal." Carl said proudly.

"When did it happen!? Why don't I know." Eden asked angrily.

"Not long ago," Doris also confessed to Andrea while the two gentlemen downstairs were arguing.

She looked at her friend with some trepidation in her heart, as if waiting for a verdict.

"Why didn't you tell me! Otherwise, you would have taken him down long ago." After being surprised, Andrea was relieved.Buddy becoming Eden's wife also seems pretty good.But she never saw that Doris liked Carl, she was hiding it too deeply.

"Didn't it fail before? It would be so embarrassing if I told you." Fortunately, Andrea didn't intend to delve into it, and she quickly let go of this topic.

"By the way, when are you going to get married?" Andrea half sat on the bed.

"He said he will get engaged first in England this Christmas and get married in New York two months later." Doris said shyly.

In the afternoon, Mr. Greg Jr. came to visit the Delfino Manor, still holding a bouquet of wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

"Is Miss William here? I have something I want to say to her face to face."

Eden didn't like him a bit, and it was fine before.But now that Doris has confirmed the relationship with him, he will not tolerate the other party's pursuit of Doris. "She is resting, if you have anything to tell me, I will help you convey it."

However, there are always people who can't see the situation clearly, "Please tell me, I will not give up pursuing her." Although Mr. Greg Jr. was repeatedly rejected, he was still in high spirits.

"I'm afraid it won't work," Eden looked directly at him. "Why?" Mr. Greg Jr. asked puzzled.

"Because she's already with me, just now." He said proudly.

The ugly little Mr. Greg had to say goodbye in a hurry, not forgetting to take the bouquet of flowers when he left.

In this way, under Eden's laissez-faire.The news that Mr. Bruce from New York was going to be engaged to Miss William soon spread throughout Givernia.In private, I don't know how many unmarried ladies have torn their veils, and how many wives' calculations have failed.

"How did you do it!" Mr. Greg cursed loudly. "It's been several days, and there is no progress at all. Now people are going to be engaged to Mr. Bruce."

"Father, I," Edward tried to refute. He had never been in contact with Miss William a few times in total, so it would be so easy to hook him up.Besides, the ghost knows if she and Mr. Bruce were tricked before, otherwise why would they be together all of a sudden.

"That's a rich lady in London, her dowry is enough for you to eat for a lifetime. How easy it is to miss it, you are so useless!" Mr. Gregg thought of the dishes he had arranged for them yesterday, and his heart ached. Just swipe and swipe.

Edward spent the afternoon in Mr. Greg's harsh reprimand.

At this time, there was another lady in Givernia who was flustered by the news, and that was Mrs. Foster's daughter Betty.

As soon as she heard the news, she thought of Miss Bruce who was with Mr. Hockley. Could he also see Miss Bruce?

No, probably not, she comforted herself like this.Certainly not, otherwise what would I do?She also thought of being able to go to New York with Mr. Hockley and get married.

Betty recalled Mr. Hockley's attitude towards her that day, and she was in a bad mood again.

Isn't she beautiful enough?No man in Givernia would treat her like that!When she thought that the life she dreamed of would be gone, she wanted to go crazy!

She had to do something, and the opportunity waited for no one.If she missed it this time, she might not meet such a rich man in the future.She finally made up her mind and walked into the kitchen. When she came out, she seemed to be holding something in her hand.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Andrea was finally able to get out of bed and walk around.
