Chapter 2473: Chapter 179: Wife-Protecting Maniac Cesare Reddington
"You... you..." Mrs. Wallace widened her eyes, extending a trembling finger, staring at Leslie Howard in disbelief.
She was closest to Leslie Howard and was the most shocked.
Mrs. Wallace originally thought that Leslie Howard would be grateful and gladly accept being accepted by the Wallace family and changing her surname to Wallace.
Unexpectedly, the surname Wallace, the identity of Miss Wallace was seen as worthless by this ungrateful woman!
Mrs. Wallace was instantly furious.
If Leslie Howard was a pawn that couldn’t be used by the Wallace family, she was even less useful than Winona Wallace, a pawn that was already broken.
The old lady’s eyes darkened, and the corners of her lips drooped, revealing a bit of majesty.
She had always been a person of high position, and suddenly, when she pulled down her face, it exerted an invisible pressure on Leslie Howard.
Leslie Howard’s almond-shaped eyes slightly raised, just about to take a breath and glare back when a large hand on her waist suddenly sank.
The next moment, she was protected in David Redington’s arms as the tall and straight man took a step forward, hugging her petite body tighter.
David Redington’s dark blue almond-shaped eyes darkened slightly, saying coldly, "The name Wallace is not worthy of the name Leslie; I don’t like it. In the future, it’s best not to let me hear this name paired with my darling’s name. Otherwise... Mrs. Wallace wouldn’t want to know what I would do."
An open threat, without any disguise.
At this moment, the Wallace family deeply felt that David Redington and Duke Redington were truly father and son.
What kind of luck did the Wallace family have this year that even a single ’Wallace’ caused displeasure to two nobles?
Mrs. Wallace originally wanted to criticize Leslie Howard, scolding her for not knowing how to appreciate favors.
Now, facing the Reddington father and son, who held absolute power over her, she couldn’t even make a sound.
Fortunately, Sheila Fletcher stepped forward in time to smooth things over: "Hello David, I’m Leslie’s mother, very pleased to meet you for the first time. We’re very happy that you love our Leslie, the old lady and I are very happy, after all, Leslie will marry you and become part of the Reddington family. Isn’t it common abroad for a woman to take her husband’s last name after marriage, so in the future, you can call her whatever you like."
Sheila Fletcher deliberately highlighted that she was meeting David for the ’first’ time, to make a clean break in front of the Wallace family.
As for the later mention of taking the Reddington surname, it was to remind Mrs. Wallace.
Her meticulous thoughts indeed grasped Mrs. Wallace’s psychology perfectly.
Upon hearing Sheila Fletcher’s words, Mrs. Wallace immediately realized – no wonder the Reddingtons disliked Leslie Howard taking the ’Wallace’ surname, turns out she missed this point.
Indeed, people abroad adopt their husband’s last name after marriage, just look at her... she was here emphasizing Leslie Howard’s ’Wallace’ surname.
Suddenly, the old lady’s face broke into a smile: "Yes, yes, I was confused. In the future, you young people can call yourselves whatever you like. Come, come, sit down quickly, don’t keep Duke Redington waiting too long. Leslie... you sit with David, Xavier is back too, he’s upstairs, I’ll have Mrs. Hamilton call him down."
Hearing that Xavier was also back, Leslie Howard’s tense face showed some wavering.
She really wanted to see Xavier.
"Be good, I’ll come with you." Perhaps seeing his girlfriend’s true emotions, David Redington gently hugged her and accompanied Leslie Howard to sit down.
They sat on the sofa on the left side of Duke Redington.
Unexpectedly, just as they sat down, Leslie Howard had no time to greet the Duke before his heavy, slightly cool voice rang out: "Cesare, I’ll tell you my view first - I don’t like her eyes."
