“Grandpa, are you forcing me to marry Harriet?” Maurice asked, holding the jewelry box with a gloomy face.
“As I’ve said, Harriet is the most suitable woman for you. This is the only way for the Stone family and the Moran family to be united. That’s why you must marry her.”
Earle’s attitude was firm. Obviously, there was no room for negotiation. Even if he was ill now, his aura was still terrifying.
“What if I don’t?”
Maurice refused to give in at all.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward became tense.
At this time, Harriet was outside the ward with a plate of washed fruits. She happened to see the doctor talking with Nancy privately in the corridor.
“Miss Stone, you go back inside first,” Nancy said solemnly.
Harriet nodded and continued to walk to the ward with the plate of fruits in her hands. Coincidentally, she ran into Gerald, who had just arrived.
Gerald’s eyes lit up upon seeing her. He immediately greeted her enthusiastically. “Miss Stone, what a coincidence! I can’t believe we will see each other here.”
Harriet smiled politely and said, “Mr. Moran, long time no see.” novelbin
“So, have you thought about my proposal? How is it?”
Gerald went straight to the point.
“What are you talking about?”
Harriet feigned a confused look.
“Miss Stone, I really want to cooperate with you. I believe you have seen it clearly. You have no chance of winning my nephew’s heart. But I can help you get his body and become his wife. Don’t you really want to think about it?”
Gerald’s words were like the devil’s whisper. Each word exactly hit Harriet’s heart. She almost couldn’t resist the temptation.
“Then I… What should I do?”
Harriet swallowed her saliva. The desire in her heart was burning.
She was hooked.
Gerald smiled complacently. He was about to say the next step of his plan when a voice suddenly interrupted him.
“What are you doing here?”
It was Maurice walking towards them.
He had an argument with Earle just now. Afraid that he would anger Earle more, he decided to go out first.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the ward, he saw Harriet and Gerald chatting. The expressions on their faces were so strange that he couldn’t help coming over and interrupting their conversation.
Gerald and Harriet quickly distanced themselves from each other. And their expressions returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
“Mr. Moran, I haven’t seen your uncle for a long time, so I just said hello to him. That’s all,” Harriet answered, putting on an innocent look.
“Yeah, that’s right. What else can there be?”
Gerald acted with her too.
Maurice temporarily put aside his suspicions. He looked at Gerald and frowned. “So, what are you doing here?”
“My father is ill, and he is admitted here. Can’t I come here to see him?” Gerald asked back with a sneer. “I heard that he was so angry with you that he didn’t take his medicine. That was why he had a heart attack.”
Gerald was obviously putting the blame on him, so Maurice also sneered, “Actually, Grandpa was so angry that day because I told him about the trouble you made. If you want to blame me, you’d better reflect on yourself first.”
Gerald clenched his fists tightly in anger. “You… If you hadn’t called the police, it wouldn’t have bothered him.”
“If you don’t want others to know what you are doing, behave yourself. Do you think you can hide the things you did for a lifetime? If things get worse, I’m afraid you will suffer a more serious punishment than being detained for a few days.”
Maurice satirized Gerald deliberately.
Seeing that the war between the two was about to escalate, Harriet hurriedly mediated.
“Mr. Gerald Moran, Mr. Maurice Moran, we are in a public place. You need to pay attention to your actions. Whatever it is, talk about it when you get home.”
It was only then that the two men restrained themselves. Gerald was so angry that his expression looked horrible. Maurice’s expression, on the other hand, remained unchanged. It seemed that Maurice won the “battle” again.
Harriet took this opportunity to quickly put forward a request. “Mr. Maurice Moran, can you have dinner with me this evening? After finding a doctor for your grandpa, I don’t think it’s an excessive request.”
“Maurice, come on. Miss Stone has helped us a lot this time. Are you going to refuse such a small request?”
Gerald was obviously helping Harriet.
Maurice thought for a while. Indeed, the Moran family owed Harriet a favor on this matter, so he agreed and replied, “Okay. I’ll take you out to dinner this evening. You decide the place.”
