Chapter 154
The next day!
Bruce came back to the Everett mansion with Roxanne.
At the Everett mansion!
“Grandma, I brought Roxy home to see you!”
Margaret was lying quietly on the bed.
Because of her health, she was bedridden most of the time.
Hearing her grandson’s voice, Margaret opened her eyes and said shakily, “Bruce is here…”
Roxanne went to the bedside quickly and took Margaret’s hand. She greeted her sweetly, “Grandma!”
Margaret held Roxanne’s and Bruce’s hands and put them together.
“You have to get married soon. Grandma wants to see you get married! Have a child soon. Bruce is not young anymore/It’s time for you to have a child.”
“Grandma, don’t worry. You’ll definitely get to meet your great–grandson!
“I’ve discussed it with Roxy. We’ll get married next month.”
Margaret took a deep breath and struggled to sit up. “When is the wedding?”
Bruce and Roxanne helped Margaret to sit up quickly and placed a soft pillow behind her back.
“The wedding is set for the eighth of next month!”
When Margaret heard this, a smile appeared on her aged face. “Oh, I should be able to make it then!
“As long as I can see the two of you getting married, I’ll be satisfied!”
Bruce held his grandmother’s hand tightly and said gently, “Grandma, don’t think too much! You’ll definitely live to a ripe old age!
“I’ll also work hard for you to meet your great–grandson as soon as possible!”
Margaret smiled. “After you get married, you have to live a good life! The two of you need to be tolerant of each other and accommodate each other!”
“Yes, we will…”
Margaret reminded them more intermittently.
Then, her eyelids sank and she was a little sleepy!
Seeing this, Bruce helped his grandmother lie down again quickly and said gently, “Grandma, rest well. Roxy and I won’t disturb you anymore!”
“Oh, okay.”
Margaret replied tiredly before closing her eyes and falling asleep again.
“Roxy, let’s go!”
“Okay!”
“You must take good care of Grandma 24 hours a day. Nothing must go wrong!”
16:33 Sat

“Got it, Mr. Everett.”
Bruce was still worried and gave a few more instructions to the butler and nurses.
After that, he left with Roxanne.
On the way back.
The driver drove on.
Bruce and Roxanne sat in the backseat.

Along the way, Roxanne held Bruce’s hand tightly in hers.
Bruce’s expression was cold and indifferent. He did not refuse or express any intimacy.
He was only marrying Roxanne to fulfill his grandmother’s wish. At the same time, he could also give Roxanne what she wanted.
Other than that, he had no other feelings for her.
“The eighth of next month, we’re finally getting married. This day has finally come!” Roxanne could not hide the joy on her face.
She stole a glance at Bruce and saw his cold expression. The happiness in her heart dissipated a little instantly.
“Bruce, aren’t you happy?” Roxanne asked carefully.
Bruce retracted his hand subconsciously and lit a cigarette. “I am!”
“Then why do you look so glum?”
“I’m worried about Grandma’s condition!”
“Medical care is so advanced now. Grandma will definitely recover!”
“I hope so!
“I’ll take you home now. I’m going to the office then!”
Roxanne’s face darkened. “Bruce, it’s Saturday today. Do you still have to go to work?”
“Oh, I have an appointment with a client. I’m going to discuss business later!”
“Alright then!” Roxanne replied reluctantly.
She knew that Bruce had a lot of social engagements. Some of them were real, while others were just excuses. He just didn’t want to be alone with her.
“Bruce, why don’t you ask the driver to stop in front and let me off at the intersection ahead!”
Bruce was taken off guard and was a little worried as he looked at Roxanne.
“I’m going to the front to buy something! I’ll take a taxi home later.”
“Alright then!
“Stop at the intersection ahead.”
“Okay, Mr. Everett.”
Kody stopped the car at the intersection of the commercial street.
This was the busiest commercial street in Greyport. It was also where one could buy all kinds of luxury goods.
“Goodbye, Bruce!”
“Goodbye!”
After Bruce left!
Roxanne took out her phone and invited a few of her best friends to go shopping.
In the past, because the marriage was not reliable, she did not dare to show off in front of her friends.
Now that the marriage was finally finalized, it only made sense for her to want to show off in front of her friends.
After a while!
Four or five well–dressed socialites came over.

“Wow, Roxy, are you really getting married?” A long–haired socialite looked envious, and her tone was a little sour.
Bruce was such a handsome, rich, and young man. How could he be blind enough to fall for Roxanne?
“Yes, on the eighth of next month, you have to come over and be my bridesmaid!”
“Of course,
it’s my honor!”
“Roxy has finally seen the light. After six years of dating Mr. Everett, they’re finally getting married!” A short–haired socialite praised casually.
However, she had the same thoughts as the socialite just now. She was so jealous and thought that she was better than Roxanne in all aspects. How could Mr. Everett be blind enough to fall for Roxanne?
“Congratulations!”
“Thank you!”
“Roxy, after you get married, remember to introduce Mr. Everett’s friends to us!”
“That’s for sure!”
Listening to the compliments of her friends, Roxanne’s vanity was greatly satisfied.
Outside the restaurant, someone had been secretly peeping inside!
Roxanne turned around to take a look unintentionally. The man shrunk his neck and hid behind the wall quickly!
Although she had only taken a glance at him, Roxanne still recognized the man as Gavin.
After that, Roxanne was no longer in the mood to enjoy afternoon tea with her friends!
“I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll leave first. Let’s meet another day!”
“It’s rare for us to get together. Why are you leaving so early?”
“I have to tend to many of the details of the wedding in person. I have to go home early!”
“Alright then! We won’t hold the bride up!”
“I’ve already bought everything on the list. Let’s meet another day!”
After saying that, Roxanne did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.
When she left the restaurant!
Chapter 154
Roxanne walked straight into a deserted alley.
As expected, Gavin followed.
