Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Hosting the Wedding Next Year
“My grandson can be like a wild horse. Even I can’t control him easily. But he listens to you, and you can tame him. I’m far from blaming you! I’m thrilled at his obedience! Girl, don’t pay any mind to your father-in-law’s moody face, he always looks that way.”
Olivia Jenkins chuckled at her grandfather’s words, her pretty face beaming with a heartwarming smile.
Olivia peeled an orange and offered some to her grandfather.
The old man took a bite and remarked delightedly, “So sweet and delicious! Not a hint of seeds, just perfect for me.”
“The COOKIE platform ran a promotional event for Harmony Village. These oranges were the best sellers. Now, seven-tenths of the oranges have been sold and the villagers are finally not as tense as before.”
He looked at Olivia approvingly and said, “Young lady, your fortune is yet to come. Heaven will certainly be kind to good people. Has Daniel told you about the annual meeting of the Marshall Corporation? You must attend.”
“Daniel did mention it to me. He also hopes that I will accompany him. I will definitely go.”
“I heard that you’re planning the wedding.”
After a moment of thought, Olivia replied: “Daniel did mention it to me. I think it’s supposed to be next year.”
“Next year is indeed an auspicious year for a wedding. I’ll give him a little nudge.”
At this, Olivia giggled, her pretty face flushed with a hint of shyness.
Daniel came downstairs and slowly walked towards Olivia, then wrapped his arms around her.
The old man turned to the butler and said, “Let’s have dinner. Call him.”
The butler understood that he was referring to the man upstairs, so he ordered the kitchen to serve dinner and then went upstairs to invite the man downstairs.
The old man stood up and said, “Come and join me, no need to wait for him.” And he headed to the dining room.
Daniel, with his arms around Olivia, followed his grandfather to the dining room.
The kitchen staff continuously brought in an abundant array of seafood. Olivia’s mouth watered at the sight, and she unconsciously licked her lips. “It looks so delicious.”
The old man smiled kindly at her, “If you enjoy it, eat as much as you want. We can always ask the kitchen for more.”
“Thank you, Grandfather! This is the first time I’ve had seafood in half a month.”
Daniel offered Olivia a piece of abalone and a piece of lobster first.
Suddenly, Michael Marshall appeared, casting a cold glance at Olivia.
Although his father-in-law did not utter a word or scold her, Olivia could still feel his hostility.
Presumably, the conversation in the study between Daniel and his father must not have gone well.
Perhaps they even argued.
Ignoring everything else, Daniel casually peeled shrimp for Olivia. He spoiled his own wife without concern for others’ opinions.
“Honey, eat this while I peel some crab meat for you.”
A faint smile played at the corners of Olivia’s mouth as she softly replied, “Thank you, honey.”
Unmindful of their surroundings, Daniel leaned in and kissed Olivia.
Reflectively, Olivia stole a glance at her father-in-law. His frosting over expression was hard to miss.
Indeed, her father-in-law’s face was grim, as if she owed him a substantial debt.
But as long as she had Daniel and her grandfather on her side, she could eat peacefully, ignoring the subtly hostile atmosphere.
The abalone was truly delicious, and Olivia relished it.
Fearing that Daniel might go hungry, Olivia fed him some crab meat he had peeled for her.
Setting everything else aside, the couple was being sickeningly sweet.
Still, Olivia couldn’t help but notice her father-in-law’s sour expression from time to time. She sensed his barely concealed rage. He must still hold a grudge against her, probably wishing he could kick her out of the Marshall family.
…
After dinner, her grandfather gave Olivia and Daniel two movie tickets and urged them to go see a film.
Grace Ziegler was idly strolling around the mall when she suddenly spotted Chief Daniel Marshall. The woman beside him must be Mrs. Olivia Marshall.”
