Billionaire's Sweetheart

Elizabeth accompanied Richard to the Hughes Villa to eat breakfast early in the morning.

When the old woman and the old man heard that they were coming over, they were overjoyed, but also had a strange expression on their faces.

This Young grandson had not turned up in front of them for the whole year, it was difficult to invite him back for lunch and dinner, how could he possibly come back for breakfast so early in the morning?

Something must have happened to him again.

But this was also a good sign. At the very least, he would go home to discuss things with the two elders, unlike he had decided everything alone in the past. So the two elders always worried about him because they needed to hear from their eldest grandson to know more about Richard.

Elizabeth was a little shy, because the reason she came to Hughes Family today was to discuss a significant matter.

"Grandpa, grandma!" Richard and Elizabeth walked into the dining hall, greeting with the two elders. The old lady's gentle concern, "Josh, it can't be the reason that you came here so early to accompany your grandparents just for breakfast, right?"

"Right, I'm here to discuss the engagement between Elizabeth and me!" Richard's words were astonishing, directly shocking the two elders. Their expressions were both startled for a moment.

"You're to get engaged?" This news came too suddenly, and the two elders were completely unprepared. They had thought that they would need at least a year or so to get to know each other before they could enter the marriage, but they did not expect that their progress would go on so quickly.

The old man frowned as well. He suddenly waved towards Richard and said, "Josh, take me out to the garden for a walk. It's been a while since we last spoke."

Richard was startled. Since he was young, the person he feared the most was his strict grandfather.

"Alright!" Richard nodded and walked over. Pushing his wheelchair, he walked towards the small path in the flower garden.

Seeing that Richard had left, and leaving her alone to face the old lady, Elizabeth started to get nervous.

"Elizabeth, have you mentioned the engagement with your family members?" As expected, the old lady couldn't help asking her.

Elizabeth was a little embarrassed and laughed: "Not yet, we made this decision few days ago, so we come to discuss this matter with you two elders."

"Oh!" The old lady frowned. She suddenly felt that these youngsters were truly unreliable when doing things. They even hadn't said anything to their parents when they were about to get engaged. This was too ridiculous.

"Did you call your parents about it? What did they say?" the old lady continued.

Elizabeth's beautiful face turned red, she was so nervous that her palms were starting to sweat, she thought, if her mother knew about this, she would definitely give her 100% support and consent. Last time, she called her and told her to think of a way to make Richard fall for her.

"My mom may not have any objections, Grandma, don't worry!" Elizabeth said softly.

"How about this? Invite your parents over for lunch at noon and have a formal meeting. The parents of both sides can sit down to have a detailed talk about the marriage." The old lady suggested suddenly, with her serious expression.

Hearing that, Elizabeth became even more nervous.

When she thought about the mistakes that her aunt had made, Elizabeth started to panic. Her mother was seventy per-cent the same as her aunt. If her mother came here, would the old lady be able to recognize the relationship between her and her aunt?

Thinking of that, Elizabeth felt like she was sitting on a needle, and was no longer at peace even for a moment.

She answered incoherently, but she wanted to back down in her heart.

At this moment, on the small path outside the garden, Richard pushed his grandfather's wheelchair as he slowly walked in.

It was early in the morning, and the snow on the road had already been swept clean. Next to him was a vast expanse of white snow, as well as a patch of green. This made him feel relaxed and at ease.

"Josh, tell grandpa the truth. Do you really love that girl?" The old man asked.

Richard nodded: "I love her!"

"How much do you love?" The old man continued to ask.

Richard couldn't help but laugh: "Grandfather, I've already decided to get engaged to her, so of course I love her very much."

"You have always been impulsive when doing things, unlike your brother who is calm. I hope you will take your marriage seriously, and do not take it as a joke!" The old man sternly reminded him.

Richard listened attentively, "Grandfather, don't worry. Since I've chosen her, I will definitely treat her well!"

"Have you seen her family? What kind of people are her family?" The old man asked with concern.

Richard's expression froze, he suddenly thought about Elizabeth's shameless aunt, he could not answer him at all.

"Grandfather, this is my marriage with her, it shouldn't have anything to do with her family, right?" Richard said blandly.

"Why isn't related to her family? Have you ever thought clearly that love is between the two of you, but marriage is between two families? Have you ever thought that if the other party's family members were snobbish people, she would come and trouble you for money?" The old tutor immediately creased his brow. He realized that the matter of their engagement lacked of some deep consideration.
