NovelEnglishChapter 187
"We wouldn't dare to."
Gwen's expression could be described as 'colorful'. She really didn't think that Hendrick would stand on
Patricia's side.
Andy glanced at his wife before he spoke to Patricia. "Since your Grandpa has asked you to come
back, remember to follow our rules."
However, Patricia didn't respond to him, and she couldn't care less about the man. Andy felt
embarrassed about this as well. Why did I give birth to her in the first place? She's just like her mother
—they're both useless to the family.
"Grandpa, it's getting late. I should head back first."
Hendrick said with a nod, "Tricia, remember to come back three days later on your sister's wedding
day. Isaac and Adeline need to include you in their vows and ask for your permission to get married.
They'll need to buy you a gift as well. This is the Aniston Family's tradition, after all."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Gwen heard that, she didn't quite understand and asked hastily, "Dad, she's just a sister and not
one of the elderly. Why does Adeline have to ask for her permission? The others will laugh at her."
After saying that, she glared at Patricia furiously, and the hatred in her eyes was overflowing as though
she wanted to eat the woman alive.
She knew that nothing good would happen whenever Patricia was back. See, she's now taking
advantage of Addy and Isaac. She's really shameless, wanting Isaac to ask her for permission. It'll only
happen in her dreams!
Hendrick replied coldly, "This is our family's tradition. The elder sibling is supposed to marry before the
younger one. Since Tricia is not married yet, it means that Addy is overstepping. As such, she'll need to
ask her sister for forgiveness and permission to get married."
Gwen didn't know there was such a family tradition. If others knew about it, they would laugh at them
for sure. "Dad, it's Tricia who can't find herself a husband, though. She can only blame herself for that."
He's saying this as if Addy has done something wrong. Why didn't he consider the fact that everyone in
his elderly circle nowadays is saying that he has a successor already? This is all because Addy has
found Isaac. In Appleby, no family is stronger than the Arnold Family, and the elders have noticed
Isaac's capability too.
Everyone was amazed by Isaac, so they were jealous when they knew that Hendrick had found such a
good grandson-in-law. This is all thanks to Addy. Why is he so ungrateful? In fact, he's even making
things difficult for Addy. He's really unthankful.
When Hendrick heard that, he looked at Patricia standing beside him. She was not angry at all despite
hearing all those harsh words from her stepmother. As he looked at her expression, he could feel her
generosity and calmness, which made her have the demeanor of a noble family lady.
He nodded his head in appreciation and had the desire to show Patricia affection again. "Enough. I
want you and Addy to copy the family's rules a hundred times."
Gwen was instantly stunned, for asking her to copy the family's rules a hundred times was even crueler
than not letting her put on makeup. She didn't want to copy it at all.
What's wrong with Dad today? These days, she was preoccupied since Adeline was getting engaged
and all the dresses had arrived, waiting to be tried on. Moreover, they would need to tailor the dresses
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmif they didn't fit. I have so many things to do. Where do I have the time to copy that stupid thing?!
Since she was going to be the mother-in-law of the biggest family in Appleby, many people would want
to meet her, but she didn't have the time to meet all of them either. That was how busy she was. Unlike
Hendrick, he just needed to show his face gracefully without caring about other things.
However, Hendrick was a god in the Aniston Family, and nobody would dare to refute him.
At this moment, Andy lifted his head slightly, signaling for her to stop talking. Otherwise, she would only
be in more trouble.
Unsatisfied, Gwen kept winking at her husband. When he noticed that, Andy had no other choice but to
say, "Dad, why don't we put copying the family rules aside first? Addy is getting engaged to the Arnold
Family, so they'll definitely be busy. Both of them have so many things to do, and they won't have time
to copy it." He spoke with a smile on his face, hoping that his father could understand.
Gwen nodded too. "Dad, I really don't have the time. Once the engagement is over, I can even copy it a
thousand times if you want me to." Of course, she didn't want to do it at all.
Hendrick bellowed, "Is no one listening to me now?!"
