C144 When Are You Two Getting Married

The family gathered for dinner. After the meal, Tracy And Kelvin, old couple looked at Monica with doting expressions. The little girl had completely stolen their hearts.

Finally, Kelvin spoke. “We need to think about Monica’s future.” Everyone became serious. He continued. “She is a Wood.” “Our family’s blood.” “We should secure her future now.”

Tracy nodded in agreement. She also supported the idea. Then she looked directly at Ben. “When are you two getting married?” The room became silent.

Ben froze. Samantha also stiffened. She continued. “The child has already been born and right now Samantha isn’t sure whether to give her our surname or Heaps.” “There is no reason to delay.”

“For Monica’s sake, you should marry as soon as possible.” For once, Ben did not object. In fact, his eyes brightened.

This was something he had wanted for a long time. He immediately agreed. “I am willing, I had once discussed this with Samantha.” He paused and said “She agreed that after giving birth we will get married”

All eyes turned toward Samantha. Samantha lowered her head. For months she had avoided this topic. Whenever marriage was mentioned, she found excuses.

Sometimes she claimed she was not ready. Sometimes she wanted to focus on the baby. Sometimes she simply remained silent.

But now things were different. Over the past weeks, she had noticed how much Kelvin loved Monica. He treated his granddaughter like a treasure.

Then Kelvin spoke. “After the marriage, Samantha will officially become part of the Wood family.” He paused. “I also plan to place some company shares in Monica’s name.”
