Chapter 468
Zachary added, probably worrying that she might misunderstand, “This is all me, it has nothing to do with my parents.”
As for the engagement party, his parents had long since let him take the reins.
Yolanda seemed to have a hunch but still asked subconsciously, “What do you mean?”
“That is, on the day of the engagement party, we will invite all our family and friends over, and any close relatives and friends from your side can come too. But as for those distant relatives,
Zachary hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to just say, “Would it be possible for your parents to invite those distant relatives at another time? Would that be okay?”
“Zachary, are you saying our relatives aren’t good enough, worried they’ll embarrass your family?” Yolanda immediately got a bit miffed.
“Yoli.” Zachary wanted to explain but didn’t know how to begin.
She didn’t see how uncouth her rural relatives had been just now. He didn’t even want to remember it a second time!
If his family saw it, not only would he be the laughingstock, but everyone would oppose the marriage!
He just didn’t want things to get too awkward.
“If you look down on us Murphys, Zachary, then you don’t have to worry about my future.” Yolanda retorted angrily.
“Yoli, that’s not what I meant!” Zachary tried to explain quietly, “It’s because just now.”
Everything that had happened was hard to put into words. He didn’t want to embarrass Yoli.
“What happened just now? Did you feel ignored because I took too long in the restroom? Did you think I was deliberately ignoring you? Making you uncomfortable?“,
“Of course not!” Zachary got a bit flustered and said, “You should ask your parents!”
Yolanda didn’t understand what had happened, but she had a bad feeling. Did something major happen while she was gone?
After a while, Zachary poured himself a drink and said, “I promised you before, after the engagement party, I would buy you a Porsche. That might have to be put on
hold.”
What did he mean?
Was he not going to marry her anymore?
Was he not willing to spend the money?
Did he think he was superior?
Did he look down on her?
Those two guys were really good–looking, but she didn’t say it to provoke him or protect his ego.
He didn’t really think he was that great, did he?
Zachary watched her expression turn sour and patiently explained, “I just transferred all my personal savings to your father.”
Yolanda was taken aback. What did he mean?
Why did he transfer money to her father?
And so much at once?
Seeing that Zachary didn’t plan to say more, she went to her father, Attlee. After learning the truth, she realized how inappropriate her relatives‘ behavior had been.
Meanwhile, David was serving food to Arabella when his phone vibrated. It was his manager, saying he needed him to come over.
“Bella, I have some things to take care of. You just stay here and eat.” David gently patted Arabella’s head, then turned to Romeo and said, “Take good care of Bella. If she’s not happy,”
He waved his fist, seemingly threatening him: “Watch out, I’ll punch you.”
Romeo’s lips curled up slightly, seemingly interested in this threat. He asked, “You think you can beat me?”
David instantly felt insulted. “Don’t underestimate me. Fights aren’t just about the size of your fist, but the strength behind it.”
“Oh.” Romeo’s grin grew wider.
