My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 89

The two ladies suggested marriage, and Manny agreed to it.

She didn't mean to be angry. She was very satisfied with Chuck Cannon as her son-in-law. It was understandable for a man to hang out with other women from time to time. Her husband was also behaving like this, so she just turned a blind eye on him.

What's more, Chuck was so rich that the whole plaza belonged to him. It didn't matter that he wanted to play around with women. As long as he didn't take them home, then it was alright.

"But their relationship is not set in stone yet. This is not alright. At the very least, they have to get married. Otherwise, if they suddenly break up, it will be terrible."

Manny agreed, so she said, "Chuck, why don't you make a phone call to your parents? We can make an appointment and come out to have dinner together. Let's set a date."

Chuck was dumbfounded.

Zelda Maine hurriedly shook her head. "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Chuck and I are not there yet."

"What do you mean? You two are sleeping together. How far do you need to go to consider marriage?" Manny glared at her daughter.

"Zelda, you should get married. Look at my daughter, her child is already five years old. Marriage is not as bad as you think." One of the ladies said.

"That's right. You two are so happy together. You will get married sooner or later anyway. You'd better get married as soon as possible."

The two women also tried to persuade her.

Zelda sighed in her heart.

Marriage? In the past, she had never thought of marriage. But how should she explain the situation? This time, when she heard her mother's words and the words of two aunties, she was not angry. She did not think they were wrong. Her walls were breaking down...

Marrying Chuck... how should she put it? She didn’t know how to describe her feelings. She had to get his consent first.

However, he was just a friend to her, and this time he also came here to pretend to be in a relationship with her. In addition, although she ‘helped’ him in the car that night, but... who was she to help him?

His girlfriend? No.

Were they husband and wife? No.

"A platonic friend? Is he my friend? Because he was feeling it down there, and I could not refuse, so I helped him? This seems to be..."

The more Zelda thought about it, the more confused she became. What exactly was on her mind?

Seeing that she didn't speak, the two women could only pull Zelda aside.

"Zelda, what do you think? Were you angry just now? Let me tell you, there is nothing to be angry about. Men are all like this. Your uncle is also the same. But as long as I ask him, he will come home every night."

"Yes, the two of us have watched you grow up, so we treat you as our own daughter. We want the best for you. Chuck is a good choice, he has a strong background and even owns a plaza. I’m sure he owns several other businesses too. Where can you find such a man?"

The two women kept discussing.

Zelda didn't know how to answer. She just looked at Chuck, and she was very nervous. What if Chuck agreed?

Then...

What would she do?

Refuse?

Or... Just make the best of it?

"Zelda, there is nothing to think about. Don’t you already sleep together? Please get married. Don't delay it."

··············

"Chuck, what are you thinking?" Manny saw her two best friends talking to her own daughter. She couldn't stay idle, so she immediately came over and spoke to Chuck.

"I..." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"You think my daughter is not good enough, don't you?"

"No, no." Chuck shook his head. How could he think so of Zelda? She had a good character, a good figure, and a beautiful face... But it was too sudden. Chuck was not prepared for this at all.

"Yes, my daughter is a little older than you, but since you are already dating her, you certainly won't care about these things. So what else do you need to think about? Call your parents. Let's have dinner together in the next few days," Manny said.

Chuck felt helpless. If he called his mother and told her that he was going to get married. He was sure that his mother would be overjoyed.

However...

"Chuck, what are you thinking? You still want to fool around, don't you?"

Manny was very serious. "Women are all the same. What fun is there to look for other women? It's kind enough that I didn't get angry with you today. As long as you restrain yourself after getting married, I won't meddle in your business. What else do you want?"

Manny had a headache. She could tell that her daughter really had feelings for Chuck. After all, she was experienced in such matters. Her daughter's gaze towards Chuck was really different from others. It proved that her daughter truly fancied him.

She was very annoyed. Her daughter was so excellent. If Zelda was still in her early twenties and they caught her boyfriend fooling around, then she would definitely not agree to it.

However, her daughter was almost thirty now. In addition, she had finally met someone she liked. It was a must to push them for marriage, Zelda might not get a second chance.

But Chuck still hesitated after she had made such a big compromise. Manny was annoyed.

She wanted to continue talking, but her daughter Zelda came over. "Mom, this is a matter between us. Let us discuss it by ourselves, okay? Chuck is not even twenty years old, he's not even old enough to get married..."

There was a sense of loss in Zelda's tone. She had been a little nervous just now and had thought that Chuck might agree. What should she do then?

But Chuck didn't mean it at all. So what was the use of forcing him to go on?

Seeing the look in her eyes, Chuck also felt a little distressed.

"Then let’s get the ceremony done first. You can get the marriage certificate when he is older," Manny said.

"Mom, let the two of us discuss it by ourselves." Zelda sighed.

Manny immediately felt helpless. “My dear girl, you're not young, do you know that? If you continue to drag on like this, how many more years will you be able to drag on? A woman's golden years are very short."

"I know, but..." Zelda felt wronged in her heart. Her emotions, which had been suppressed in the aspect of marriage for a long time, were about to explode, and her eyes were reddening in frustration.

For so many years, she had been single and had never been understood by her parents. But she had not met anyone she liked. What should she do? She was under too much pressure.

Manny was also anxious. "Don't cry. Mommy won't force you. I won't force you anymore..."

The two women came over helplessly and comforted Zelda in a low voice.

Zelda shook her head. "I won’t cry. Let's go."

Chuck sighed and everyone came out of the restaurant together. He didn't know what to do either. Today's meal gave him a headache. Lara was slapped by mistake, and he was asked to marry Zelda. He had never expected that.

"Zelda, we will hang out with your mother. You two have a good talk."

"Yes, it's a big deal. You two can discuss it by yourselves."

As the two ladies spoke, they pulled Manny out of the way. Manny felt helpless, and the three women walked out.

"Zelda is still too soft-hearted. If she is tough they can get it settled today.”

"Yeah, the two of them are well matched. It will absolutely be a good marriage."

Manny sighed. Her daughter was like this. She didn't like to force her, but at this time, they were already sleeping together. Shouldn’t she be getting married?

"The two of them should discuss by themselves. I can't do anything about it," said Manny.

"They're sleeping together. Is Zelda pregnant?"

"No, I don't think so. If she’s pregnant, why would they refuse just now?"

"Okay, we should not get involved in young people's affairs. Let's go shopping."

"Yes."

Three women went to the parking lot and drove away.

Chuck was a little embarrassed. He did not know how to comfort Zelda. He could only say, "Sister Zelda..."

"Sorry that my mother and the two aunties are talking to you about this," Zelda said.

"It doesn't matter. Why don't we find a place to have a rest?" Chuck wanted to go to a coffee shop downstairs. After all, Zelda was in a distressed mood.

Zelda shook her head and said, "It’s alright, let's go home." Chuck felt helpless. "You will feel much better if you sit down."

Zelda nodded after a moment of silence. Then they went downstairs and entered a cafe.

They didn't say much, mainly because they were too embarrassed. Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was dark. Zelda quietly drank her coffee, looking at her hands.

Under such circumstances, Chuck couldn't help but look at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, so he said, "Sister Zelda, shall we go home?"
