Chapter 1218

It wasn’t long before the Lockwood Family invited Anna and Mrs. Monroe for a meal again.

Unlike the birthday banquet with Old Mrs. Lockwood, this time the Lockwood Family specifically invited Anna.

After the banquet ended, Old Master Lockwood and others tentatively asked Carter Lockwood what he thought.

The implication was that he wasn’t getting any younger, and wasn’t it time to get married?

They considered Anna Morgan from the Morgan Family to be quite nice, though she was a bit young…

The elders didn’t finish their sentence, and Carter just responded with a “hmm,” which left them all stunned.

On the day of the dinner, they watched as Anna entered with her arm linked with Carter’s, even more astonished, thinking that Carter had been interested in Anna for some time; otherwise, when they asked him that day, he agreed without thinking.

“Hello, Uncle and Aunt.”

Anna was not bold enough to directly address them as “Mom and Dad.”

That form of address was enough for Old Mrs. Lockwood and Old Master Lockwood.

Seeing how Carter looked at Anna, and how Anna smiled at Carter, they suspected Anna was also interested in Carter.

“Wonderful!”

Thinking about their son finally settling down with a girl they were satisfied with, Old Mrs. Lockwood was overjoyed.

She took Mrs. Monroe’s hand and said with a smile, “After all the twists and turns, we ended up becoming in-laws.”

Mrs. Monroe smiled, “Yes, I never expected this either.”

Anna truly seemed destined to be connected with the Lockwood Family.

Mrs. Monroe wouldn’t meddle with her daughter’s marriage!

For all intents and purposes, Carter Lockwood’s qualifications far exceeded those of Sean Lockwood.

More accurately, there wasn’t a better unmarried man in all of Solaria than Carter Lockwood.

Moreover, Anna and Carter were already registered, and it was clear from Carter’s patience with Anna that there was no reason for dissatisfaction.

“Come, let’s start dinner and chat as we eat.”

As the Lockwood Family hosted the dinner, the topic was obviously Anna and Carter, with Mrs. Monroe attending along with Eldest Master Monroe.

“Originally, we planned to visit the Morgan Family to propose.”

Old Mrs. Lockwood said bluntly, “But now the Morgan Family isn’t worth us going.”

Miles Morgan might be Anna’s biological father, but his actions probably hurt Anna deeply.

They couldn’t discuss Anna’s marriage with Miles Morgan.

As Mrs. Monroe was staying in a hotel, it wasn’t very convenient, so they asked Carter what to do.

Carter suggested inviting them for a meal at home to discuss matters at the table first.

Then, once the dowry was prepared, they would send it to the hotel or where Eldest Master Monroe resided.

Carter’s thorough consideration assured Old Master Lockwood and Old Mrs. Lockwood that their son had set his sights on Anna early on.

“My house has been renovated, and I’ll be moving in a few days.”

“It’s in the same community as Zachary.”

Mrs. Monroe said with a smile.

When problems first appeared in a marriage, she found them hard to accept.

When pushed to the brink, she suddenly understood.

Now she took the money she deserved, spending and purchasing appropriately, also preparing a dowry for Anna.

“Wonderful!”

Old Mrs. Lockwood said with a smile.

“We at the Lockwood Family are truly delighted that Carter and Anna have come together.”

“Chinye, rest assured, we will treat Anna like our own daughter.”

Old Mrs. Lockwood promised.

She had adored Anna before, the only difference being that she once viewed Anna as a granddaughter, and now as a daughter.

“Mm.” Mrs. Monroe’s voice was subdued, her thoughts returning to herself.

Old Mrs. Monroe treated her well, but Miles Morgan was too heartless.

In marriages, it often came down to the man.

Currently, Carter loved Anna, but what about the future?

These concerns lingered in Mrs. Monroe’s mind, leaving her restless.
