Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 49

Lacey, who was in her room, clenched her teeth with all her might. She had heard the conversation her father had with Zeke.

She immediately figured out the intention behind her parents' fight. It was obvious the fight was but a deliberate setup.

Seriously? Are you guys sure I'm your daughter?

What kind of parents would matchmake their daughter in such a manner?

They actually tried to send him into my room? What the hell! Arghhhh!

However, Lacey opened the door and allowed Zeke to enter her room in the end because she knew her parents wouldn't give up until they achieved what they had in their minds.

“Lacey, please pardon my intrusion.” Zeke took a deep breath and enjoyed Lacey's lingering scent in her room as he finished his sentence.

Lacey instructed him in an irritated manner, “You're sleeping on the floor.”

She headed over to the wardrobe and got him a quilt.

Even the quilt smells great because it belongs to Lacey.

He lay on the quilt once he laid it on the floor. Zeke saw Lacey's feet the moment he turned around.

He saw her slender and porcelain-like pair of legs. Her legs were as delicate as her.

“I heard that woman with a small pair of feet usually give birth to a daughter. I think a daughter is great! I can protect both of you.”

Lacey's face turned gloomy all of a sudden. “You fool! Stop talking nonsense! You better stop, or else I'm going to throw you out from the window right now!”

The next day morning, Lacey headed over to the steel mill and reported to work right after she washed herself up.

She had become busier ever since they had procured another few factories.

Zeke was heartbroken deep down. “I definitely wouldn't have allowed you to take over the factories if I knew this would happen.”

He washed his face and headed out of Lacey's room.

Hannah had already prepared breakfast for Zeke. She greeted him enthusiastically the moment she saw him. “Zeke, hurry up! Come over and try the dishes I prepared for you! I have made you some xiaolongbao.”

“Thanks, mom,” Zeke replied with a smile on his face.

Daniel was delighted. “You're welcome! We're a family, after all!”

Zeke was indeed hungry and chomped down all the food served.

He finished a whole tray of xiaolongbaos almost instantly.

Zeke wiped his mouth as he told Hannah, “Mom, please pack a few of the xiaolongbaos for me. I will drop by Lacey's place and bring her some. She left in such a hurry. I'm sure she hasn't had her breakfast, right?”

Hannah grinned. “Sure! I'll go pack some for you immediately.”

Zeke left with the xiaolongbaos Hannah packed for him while Daniel walked out of their room.

“Zeke is a great man. Look at how he takes care of Lacey.”

Hannah rolled her eyes as she was annoyed. “You're right. I mean, he's definitely better than a heartless man like you!”

Zeke headed over to the steel mill right away.

He took a detour when he passed by the Schneider family's building because he needed to get Evan to start working on the grand hall, he would need in the future for his grand wedding ceremony.

Zeke ran into an acquaintance the moment he entered Schneider Tower.

Susan was waiting for Emily as she would be tagging along with her to the interview session.

She was surprised because she ran into Zeke before Emily was there. Susan rushed towards Zeke and greeted him.

“Mr. Williams, what a coincidence to run into you at the Schneider family's place!”

Zeke replied nonchalantly, “Mm, I'm here to carry out my role as a supervisor.”

“Supervisor?” Susan was dumbfounded when she heard his words but managed to return to her senses almost instantly.

Zeke was her father's boss' boss. Her father's boss was Evan Schneider.

That would indicate that Schneider Tower belonged to Zeke as well.

Susan nodded. “I'm sure Mr. Williams has a lot to deal with.”

“Can I have a few seconds of your time, Mr. Williams?”

Zeke replied, “Speak.”

Susan reached for an invitation card she had with her. “Ten days later, the Global Medical Association Forum will be held in Oakheart City. My dad is an advisor of the said forum, and he would love to have you as an honourable guest. May I know if Mr. Williams is free on that particular day?”

Zeke shook his head. “I'm not free.”

He walked away right after he finished his sentence, leaving Susan behind all alone.

What? That's it?

However, Zeke turned around and returned to Susan before long. He took over the invitation card and explained in a callous tone, “My dad might be interested.”

He turned around and left once again after he finished his sentence.
