Chapter 870 Take A Photo Of Him
Hannah's marriage had always been a significant matter for the Nixon family.
After all, she had always been the cherished daughter of the family. Not only was she pretty, but she was also a genius in medicine. As a result, the family's elder, Colin Nixon, had always held Hannah in high regard.
When it came to such a situation, Monica knew asking anyone else's opinion would be futile. She decided that she would call the family's elder instead.
The moment he heard that Hannah was going on a blind date, he couldn't help but chuckle on the other end of the phone.
“Monica, you've always been in charge of Hannah's blind date. Why are you still calling me? Everything's fine as long as she's happy,” Colin said.
“Old Mr. Nixon, I'm calling to inform you about this. You're aware of the blind date I arranged for Hanny, right?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Yes. Alistair Jamesworth, a talented young man who has studied overseas. What's the problem?”
“Old Mr. Nixon, the problem lies not with Alistair. Hannah has defied me today and even brought a nouveau riche over to the date. This man lacks all manners, yet somehow Hannah has fallen hopelessly in love with him and insists on being with him.”
“Absolutely not! This cannot be!” Colin was enraged to hear that Hannah had fallen for a nouveau riche. “How could Hanny be so short-sighted? She grew up under our watchful eyes. She shouldn't
have fallen for a man like that.”
Although the Nixon family was of a military background, they enjoyed a lifestyle of high living standards.
Having been born and raised in such a background, Hannah should find no allure in a nouveau riche who lacked class.
Monica was elated to hear that Colin was on her side.
“Hanny, did you hear what Old Mr. Nixon said? The man you fancy can forget about ever becoming part of the Nixon family!”
Impassively, Hannah replied, “Mom, you're being too hasty.” Then, she said to Colin on the phone, “Old Mr. Nixon, my boyfriend's name is Donald Campbell. Does it ring any bells?”
Clang!
The sound of a shattered teacup echoed from the other side of the phone.
Monica instantly tensed up, wondering if some unfortunate event had occurred at Colin's end.
“Old Mr. Nixon, are you all right?”
After a long silence, Colin's excited voice finally came from the other end of the phone.
“Hanny, what did you say your boyfriend's name was again?”
“Donald Campbell.” Hannah smiled smugly. She had already known that Colin would react this way.
“Quick! Take a photo of him and send it to me!”
Even though Monica was clueless about Colin's sudden interest, she promptly snapped a picture of Donald and sent it over.
The elder of the Nixon family was more unsettled after seeing the photo.
“D-Donald Campbell, right? Are you really Hanny's boyfriend?”
Why is Old Mr. Nixon stuttering?
Monica was stunned. She wondered if Colin had gone senile. Why was the elder of the Nixon family stammering when speaking to a nouveau riche?
Hannah shot Donald a knowing glance.
Trying to act crazy, huh? Let's see how you're going to handle this, then.
Donald smiled bitterly. “Well, I'm just a boy... friend. We're really not that close.”
“Good! Good! Good!” Colin said, repeating the word thrice. “Thank goodness! The Nixon family is going to be great again! Monica, if Hanny can marry Donald, you will be the major contributor to bringing glory back to our family! You know what to do next, right?”
The contrast in Colin's tone was so stark that Monica was unsure of what had just transpired.
“Okay... I guess... I know what to do,” Monica replied.
“Excellent. Hurry up and come back home. Don't disturb their date.”
“What about Alistair?”
“Who cares about Alistair? Get back here at once!”
