One Night Bride: Master Blackwood's Substitute Wife
Chapter 78: Ivy Kensington and Simon Weldon Get Engaged
CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: IVY KENSINGTON AND SIMON WELDON GET ENGAGED
Old Madam Blackwood snorted, "You’re quite something, only showing up to greet me now."
The bickering between the two old ladies had become commonplace for the Weldon family’s servants; every time Old Madam Blackwood visited, they would witness such a scene.
Sebastian Blackwood nodded towards Old Madam Weldon, "Hello, Grandma Weldon."
Dahlia Kensington stood by his side, pretending to be gentle and composed, and followed suit with her greeting.
At this moment, Simon Weldon came downstairs, his eyes lit up as soon as he saw Dahlia Kensington.
"Dahlia!"
The call nearly scared Dahlia Kensington to death.
Was Simon Weldon trying to ruin her by calling her so intimately?
She pretended not to hear and turned her head to look the other way.
Sebastian Blackwood squinted thoughtfully.
Old Madam Weldon frowned unhappily, "Go to Ivy and Ronnie, stop yelling around here!"
Simon Weldon wished he could stick by Dahlia Kensington’s side, but due to pressure from Old Madam Weldon, he had to obediently stand next to Ivy Kensington.
Ivy Kensington held Ronnie, and the three stood together, looking like a family.
Sebastian Blackwood’s handsome face suddenly turned much gloomier.
Soon.
Dinner began.
Ivy Kensington had initially not wanted to join, but Old Madam Weldon insisted she and Ronnie must be present to announce something important, so she could only sit down with Ronnie.
"The reason I invited you today is to witness the engagement of Simon and Ivy. After all, Ronnie is a Weldon family child. After much discussion, we’ve decided that next month, Simon and Ivy will hold an engagement ceremony to give Ronnie a complete family!"
At the dining table, Old Madam Weldon spoke with a smile to Old Madam Blackwood.
Though she wasn’t satisfied with Ivy Kensington because her background was too humble, considering she was the one who bore the first great-grandchild for the Weldon family, she could barely be added to the Weldon family’s genealogical record.
Upon hearing this—
"I disagree!"
Simon Weldon was the first to jump up.
He only liked Dahlia Kensington, not to mention Dahlia was carrying his child!
Old Madam Weldon’s face darkened, "Sit down right now!"
Simon Weldon glanced at Dahlia Kensington and clenched his teeth, finally showing some backbone, "Grandma, I already have someone I like, and she’s pregnant with my child!"
What?
Old Madam Weldon was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "When did this happen, why didn’t you say earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Dahlia Kensington was immediately frightened, sweat forming on her back.
Simon Weldon was truly going to ruin her!
If he really spoke those words, that the child wasn’t from the Blackwood family, this matter would surely get exposed...
The more she thought, the more terrified Dahlia Kensington became, her legs trembling.
Seeing her shiver, Sebastian Blackwood glanced at her and asked, "Cold?"
"No... no," Dahlia Kensington swallowed hard and said shakily, "Just a leg cramp."
Seeing how nervous she looked, Simon Weldon couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed, knowing Dahlia Kensington didn’t want to expose the matter just yet.
He could only ambiguously answer Old Madam Weldon’s question, "Anyway, I won’t get engaged to Ivy."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Weldon was very angry and scolded, "You just don’t want to acknowledge Ronnie, deliberately making this up to fool me, you scoundrel!"
Then she turned to Ivy Kensington, demanding in a harsher tone, "You tell me, do you want to marry into the Weldon family?"
Ivy Kensington lowered her gaze slightly, contemplating.
Just now, Dahlia Kensington’s obvious guilt-ridden look made her want to find out who tampered with the last paternity test...
Thinking this, Ivy Kensington smiled at Old Madam Weldon, "Of course I’d be happy to give Ronnie a complete family."
This meant she was willing to get engaged to Simon Weldon.
Suddenly, the sound of a glass falling was heard—
Ivy Kensington suddenly realized someone was glaring at her fiercely, the gaze cold and deep.
