Marie Moore was the most flabbergasted in the living room. She had not expected to see Serene come out untouched from Young master's room.
" What took you so long in there?" Marie Moore asked
" I was conversing with my wife" Sinclair said
A blush slowly climbed up Serene's face spreading across her neck. Why does this Man keep embarrassing her?.
Marie Moore's expression obviously faltered at the words, he looked at Serene who stood behind him, face red like tomatoes.
" What?, Wife?, son what are you saying?" Marie asked
" You all found me a wife and I will marry her isn't that what you all wanted to happen?"
" Dear, you will get married, but this girl doesn't fit our criteria why don't you let her go?" Marie Moore said stressing out her points, she needed to try to make her son understand even if she had never successfully done so in the past.
" I want her, I want her for a wife" Sinclair said
Serene just stood behind him all these while doing nothing but getting red like tomatoes. She needed to stop this man from repeatedly claiming her as his in front of these people or else she might burst out of embarrassment.
Marie Moore couldn't pinpoint what was going on. She knew very well that her son detests women and could even go as far as eliminating one if they dare touch him but this one that he just met today..... Something must be wrong somewhere!.
" Dear talk to me, did she threaten you?" Marie Moore asked
The people in the room were taken aback with the question even the stand by servants standing not too far were all surprised and engrossed in the discussion. Who will dare threaten young master?.
" She didn't" Sinclair answered showing no signs of surprise like the others.
" Then I do not understand why you want to marry her even after I told you she doesn't fit our criteria?"
Sinclair went mum and did not speak. He always does that when he had made his final decision.
Mr. Woods had a complicated expression as he looked at Sinclair, with the conversation going on he pinpointed that the noble figure on the wheelchair was the Young master, the real Young master.
Based on the rumors, Young master was supposed to be crippled and ugly that was why he agreed to trade Serene for the collaboration. It was true that he was crippled, but the ugly part was instantly proven wrong when he set his eyes on the Young master.
If he had known about this earlier, Eva would be the one standing next to the Young master. Mr Woods could not help but question who was that that spread such rumors. His precious daughter was missing out on such a big fish like this, but he blamed no one but himself for being stupid in hurrying Serene into marriage.
" Well now that Young master has said it why don't we obey his words" Benita Moore said with a smile. She has taken a liking to Serene at first sight and was wishing for her to marry Young master, she was compatible for him despite her status.
" Young master has never told us he needed a woman before, this is the first time and I think we should respect his wishes" Benita added
Marie Moore shot her a piercing stare her eyes brimming with hatred for Benita Moore.
" And is he your son for you to make such decisions?"
" I agree he is not my son, but you were never a mother to him so why blame others for trying to respect him?" Benita Moore said shattering whatever nobility Marie Moore had.
" And what do you know about mothering?, you have your own children too I don't see any signs of proper training in them, but I did not even need to train my son to experience his maturity"
Marie Moore was partly correct when she said those words, but that didn't stop Benita Moore.
" At least only those that have been present in their children's life should make decisions not the ones that appear only to disappear"
Marie Moore felt like she was doused by a bucket of cold water. She agreed she was not always there for her son but at least she could make decisions for him since she was the mother!.
" Stop it now you two" Saber Moore, who had barely spoken anything, suddenly spake when he noticed Marie Moore trying to say another word.
" You both know that Grandma is the one who allowed us to choose this lady, and we did it thinking she is the real daughter of the Woods, but it is still our fault. Sinclair had chosen her and grandma did too so who are we to stop the wedding now?" Saber Moore said
He had earlier expressed his disgust at the news of Serene's real identity, he did not know how his wife was certain about it, but the truth has already been revealed leaving him in a position where he could have only monosyllabic his words and do nothing.
" Marie, you know the instructions from Grandma take her with you tomorrow to see grandma, we have no room for regret now since Sinclair had made his choice "
A smile tugged Sinclair's lips as he looked at his parents, especially his mother, he knew she was fighting hard to accept the truth but whatever she did now will only leave her in a passive state.
" I'm going to get my marriage certificate today" Sinclair said
" Don't we have to meet grandma first?" Saber asked
" Grandma will like her don't worry about it, I should get going now " Sinclair said
Serene felt like a fish out of water when she heard marriage certificate, she was going to register her wedding with someone she only met today, but she had strong opposition which nearly cost her this marriage. Things were not going to be easy now that she has embarked on this journey, she glanced at Marie Moore who was still fuming with anger and then at her father who looked completely in his own world then at Benita Moore who smiled sincerely looking at Serene. Serene flashed a smile at her before looking at Saber Moore who had barely said something after hearing her real identity.
She had friends and enemies, but she still has to live anyway.
