My Bossy CEO Husband
Chapter 2139

Lyndon spoke coolly.

“Mr.

Larson, don’t blame me for taking action against your wife and daughter.

Tilda will soon be my wife, and I will protect her from any harm.

” His voice carried authority and determination.

As Tilda observed the exchange, a flicker of something akin to gratitude glinting in her eyes.

Wilton managed a wry smile, choosing to remain silent.

Lyndon’s behavior was indeed abrasive, but Wilton hesitated to confront him, mindful of the delicate situation surrounding the impending marriage between the two families.

“Mr.

Larson, I must speak in defense of Tilda,” Elma interjected, sensing Wilton’s discomfort.

“Mrs.

Larson has regained consciousness.

Renata and her daughter arrived with an investigation report and spoke unfavorably about Tilda, which greatly distressed Mrs.

Larson and likely hastened her demise.

”

Observing Wilton’s furrowed brow, Elma pressed on, “I must point out that Renata is not fit to be the future matriarch of the Larson family.

Tilda has endured hardships since childhood, largely due to Renata’s actions.

”

Renata’s audacity knew no bounds.

With Kristi’s passing, she immediately planned to orchestrate a marriage for Tilda, likely with an unsuitable partner.

It was only through the intervention of Lyndon that Tilda’s future took a positive turn.

In Elma’s eyes, Renata was unworthy of assuming the role of the future matriarch of the Larson family.

Tilda’s heart hardened as she heard Elma’s words, fixing her gaze on Wilton.

“Dad, my mother has just passed away.

Are you truly considering marrying Renata so soon?”

Wilton glanced at Tilda, then hesitated before speaking.

“Renata’s been by my side for years,” he began, his voice laced with awkwardness.

“Now that your mother’s gone, I think it’s time I married her.

”

Tilda’s fingers instinctively curled into fists.

“What if I disagree?” she asked, her voice laced with defiance.

Wilton’s brow furrowed.

“Tilda, I understand you don’t care for Renata, but you’re a woman too.

Surely you can see things from her perspective.

All these years, she’s managed the household, tirelessly keeping things running.

I should marry and embrace her as a part of our family, or others will condemn me for being heartless.

”

Tilda met his gaze, her lips pressed into a line.

Not particularly close to her father, she remained skeptical about his affection for Renata, viewing it as a calculated move to enhance his reputation by marrying Renata.

“Dad,” she began, her voice barely above a whisper, “it’s far too soon to talk about your wedding with Renata.

Mom just passed.

Even if you are serious, a year of mourning is the least you can do.

”

The thought of Renata marrying into the Larson family was unbearable.

It would be an insult to her mother.

Wilton seemed mollified by her suggestion.

“Okay, you’re right.

And what about you and Lyndon? Any plans to make things official?”

Tilda flicked a glance at Lyndon and remained silent.

After a thoughtful pause, Lyndon spoke up.

“We will register our marriage first.

The wedding can wait as Tilda needs time to grieve for her mother.

”

Tilda stayed quiet, feeling a sense of warmth as she perceived Lyndon’s thoughtfulness.
