Chapter 58: The Greenwood's House's Dinner
Every day, at that specific time of the evening, the Greenwoods would repeat the same ritual.
They sat down in the dining room to have dinner in complete silence.
However, that day things followed differently.
Clay, the family's patriarch, cast a serious look at his children.
After reflecting for a long time, he broke the silence as he began to speak slowly.
"As you all know, Michelle and Gerard got divorced, but now there are rumors everywhere that he has been going out with that movie star.How come nobody in this family couldn't catch this man's attention yet?"
It wasn't until now that Clay realized he had raised a bunch of useless children.
"Dad, Jolie and Paula are still too young to get married. We shouldn't be hasty."

She knew that her daughter, Jolie, would be the first one to be blamed for this matter.
The girl had been working in the Roberts Enterprise for a long time but was yet to bring any good news back home.
Now, there was this woman named Cali, who was constantly seen with Gerard.
"That's right, father.We should focus now on Lynn and Jared's wedding!"
After a brief exchange of looks with Dawn, Earl quickly changed the topic.
"Then do something about it already!" Clay thumped the table angrily.
The loud bang served as a warning to everyone in the room, who looked too frightened to say anything.
Lynn was also there sitting in silence when the elder's eyes fell upon her.
"Lynn, you and Jared have been back for several days.When will be the ceremony?"
Clay had always been a man who cared a lot about his wealth and reputation.
When Michelle married Gerard, the Greenwoods took a generous sum from their new son-in-law.
Therefore, once the man refused to hold a wedding ceremony, Clay agreed to his terms for the sake of the money.
But ever since he got retired two years ago, his children hadn't been doing well on their own.
None of them seemed capable to continue the Greenwoods' glorious legacy.
Yet Lynn's marriage with Jared pleased Clay nowadays.
Out of all of his granddaughters, she was his favorite.
His love for her was greater than that for Jolie and Paula combined.
In the past, when Lynn said she wanted to marry Jared and go abroad with him, Clay didn't agree at first.
But after seeing how much the young man had achieved so far, the elder was relieved.
Now, Lynn was the one who was going to have the best match in the Greenwoods.
"Grandpa, we only came back for the wedding and won't leave until the ceremony is held.There's no need to be anxious.Besides, my wedding dress, his tux, and all of the other arrangements are being
decided by us alone.So don't rush us."
Relying on Clay's affection for her, Lynn never refrained from using her sharp tongue.
The young woman was considered the little princess of the Greenwoods for that reason.
And of course, that made Jolie and Paula envious of her.
As he took in his granddaughter's words, Clay couldn't help but laugh.
With an ear-to-ear grin, he said, "Alright then.I'll do as you say, my dear!"
Lynn also smiled before drifting her eyes to Jared, who had been silent this whole time.She wondered if he was still thinking about Michelle.
In the past few days, Lynn hadn't been sleeping very well, especially after she saw her fiancé hugging Michelle the other night.
She swore to herself that no one would take away what she wanted from her.
No one.
Dawn glanced at Earl sitting opposite her.
They exchanged a knowing look as a faint smile lifted the corner of their lips.
Apparently, Lynn’s wedding was of no importance to them.
Jared noticed the strange expression on their faces.
It seemed that the Greenwoods, especially Dawn and Earl, had changed their attitudes towards Lynn since they came back.What happened?
