The Whole World Seems To Be Falling For My Wife

Chapter 16 Confirming The Relationship

Neither Bill nor Maria had expected that Anthony would readily accept this engagement.

Of course, Bill was overjoyed.He was worrying that this wouldn't end nicely, but the outcome was even much better than he expected.With this done deal, the engagement wouldn't be canceled and the relations between the two families wouldn't deteriorate either.

Although Maria was not Bill's biological daughter, he still had the luxury of becoming the Wilsons’ in-law, and he didn't even have to sacrifice his own daughter.He couldn't imagine a more perfect situation than this.

Anthony might have been deprived of their family's right to inheritance, but Bill still felt very lucky.

Just to be called a father-in-law by one of the Wilsons was such a great feat.

"Anyway, Mr.Jenkins, may I talk with Miss Maria alone, please?"

Anthony's voice was so gentle and full of respect.

Upon hearing this, Bill couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear before nodding repeatedly.

"Of course! No problem.In fact, I am not going to disturb you at all.I will go home first, so please have a good time, you two."

Bill left briskly, and his intention couldn't be more obvious.

Looking at his receding back, Maria subtly rolled her eyes.

And then, she couldn't help but lightly shake her head in confusion.

If Bill was so simple-minded, then how did he become rich and successful in the cruel world of business? When only the two of them were left, an awkward silence filled the room, and the atmosphere also felt kind of tense.

After all, even though it was just an accident, Maria still discovered Anthony's secret—he was only pretending to be disabled.
