Elizabeth Jones accompanied Joshua Wayne to the Wayne Family 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 Joshua. Elizabeth Jones was a little shy, because the reason she came to Wayne Family today was to discuss a significant matter. "Grandpa, grandma!" Joshua Wayne and

Elizabeth Jones 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!" Joshua Wayne'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 hall, but they did not expect that their progress would go on so quickly.

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

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

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

Seeing that Joshua Wayne had left, and leaving her alone to face the old lady, Elizabeth Jones 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 Jones was a little embarrassed and laughed: "Not yet, we made this decision just long 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 Jones'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 Joshua Wayne fall for her.

"My mom may not have any objections, Grandma, don't worry!" Elizabeth Jones 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 Jones became even more nervous.

When she thought about the mistakes that her aunt had made, Elizabeth Jones started to panic. Her mother was seventy percent 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 Jones 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, Joshua Wayne 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.

Joshua Wayne nodded: "I love her!"

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

Joshua Wayne 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. Joshua Wayne 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.

Joshua Wayne's expression froze, he suddenly thought about Elizabeth Jones's shameless aunt, he could not answer her at all.

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

"Why wasn'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.

"Grandfather, I will discuss this matter properly with her family. I will go to see them at noon!" Joshua Wayne didn't want to infuriate his grandfather anymore at the moment. What's more he had known from his brother that his grandfather's condition wasn't too stable.

"Alright, go to see how her family react first. We'll discuss this matter properly then!" The old tutor raised his hand for further consideration.

When Joshua Wayne returned to the living room, he saw that Elizabeth Jones had also been troubled by her grandmother to the point that her forehead was covered in sweat.

With so much sweat in the middle of winter, it was obvious how nervous she was.

The two of them ate their breakfast in an absent-minded way before leaving together. Sitting in the car, both of them were silent.

"How about... "Let's not get engaged yet. You haven't told your grandparents about my aunt, have you?" Elizabeth Jones also felt guilty to the Wayne Family. Even though it was her aunt's mistake, they were still relatives.

Joshua Wayne's eyes were fixated on the road ahead, and his thin lips were pursed tightly, unable to fathom his thoughts.

"Do your grandparents know about my aunt and your father?" Elizabeth Jones suddenly asked softly.

Joshua Wayne's tone became bland: "I don't know, actually, I don't want them to know either."

"Even if you hide it from them now, it doesn't mean that they won't know in the future." Elizabeth Jones lowered her head, a hint of grief and despair flashing past her beautiful face.

She actually wanted to marry Joshua Wayne very much, but the mountain in front of them was so high and so broad, which was not something that could be climbed with effort.

"Let's not talk about our engagement for the time being!" Joshua Wayne seemed to have suddenly made a decision. Elizabeth Jones's entire body shivered, a wave of inexplicably sorrow surged out, she bit

her lower lip with all her strength, prevented herself from crying, and nodded: "Alright, let's not talk about the matter regarding the company, what do we do then?"

"I will play a role as the main actor according to your script. The this matter would be resolved!" Elizabeth was shocked by Joshua Wayne's sudden words.
