Chapter 472: Chapter 414 Everything Is Ready
Sarah looked at Ryleigh with a serious expression. She disliked this woman even more than Melissa.
Ryleigh was just a singer stationed in a bar. How dare she want to marry up with the Gibson family?
It was simply a pipe dream!
"Murray, I don’t agree." Sarah tried her best to speak calmly to Murray, but her tone was serious.
Ryleigh looked at Sarah timidly. She seemed to have mustered up her courage to say, "Mrs. Gibson, I know you won’t accept me, but... but I love Murray. Moreover, we are going to hold an engagement ceremony tomorrow... Would you please give me your blessings?"
"Blessing? Don’t you think it’s a shame to say that?" Claire had a hot temper. In addition, she was even more infuriated by Ryleigh’s bitch behavior, so she cared less about her manners.
Murray pulled Ryleigh behind him and looked into Sarah’s eyes. "Lily and I love each other. Regardless of whether you agree or not, she will become my wife. The reason I brought her home today is to take a look at the environment at home. The rest is not important."
Murray was implying that the opinions of Claire and Sarah were not important to him, or even dispensable.
In the entire Gibson family, Murray felt that his grandpa was the only one who truly treated him well.
"You..."
Sarah was so angry that her face turned livid, and she gritted her teeth. However, Murray ignored her but held Ryleigh’s hand and walked to the study.
"Come with me. I’ll take you to check other rooms."
Ryleigh left with Murray and secretly turned her head to look at Claire’s face, but she then quickly turned back.
Ryleigh’s lips curled into a smile, and her eyes filled with triumph.
So what if you don’t like me? Murray still wants to marry me eventually.
Claire watched Murray and Ryleigh walk away, but there was nothing she could do. She had to sit back angrily, patting the soft cushion on the sofa, with her eyes full of anger.
Seeing that, Sarah had to comfort Claire, "Why are you so anxious? Don’t worry, this woman won’t become a member of our family."
"But... but Murray is going to get engaged to her tomorrow. Do you know that the Internet is full of news about her interview? It’s been spread throughout the entire city."
The more Claire thought about it, the angrier she became. Her heart was full of jealousy, but she could do nothing.
...
The news that Murray and Ryleigh were going to be engaged tomorrow was known to everyone. Even the internet was overwhelmed by the news.
Over the past few days, Melissa had seen a lot of photos of the reporters "coincidently" interviewing Ryleigh at various jewelry stores.
Why was Ryleigh so anxious to let everyone know about the news? The only reason was that she wanted to reveal that she was the future young hostess of the Gibson family.
Melissa’s finger gently swiped across the phone screen. Reviewing the entertainment news about Ryleigh and Murray on the website, Melissa chuckled.
The engagement ceremony was to be held tomorrow, which meant that the play was about to end.
Melissa even looked forward to the scene tomorrow.
Melissa called Anthony immediately, "It’s coming to the engagement ceremony between Murray and Ryleigh tomorrow. Is everything ready?"
A delighted voice came from the other side of the phone, "Rest assured, Ada. Everything is ready, I guarantee. You just wait and see tomorrow!"
"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you."
Melissa smiled and chatted with Anthony for a while. Then, she hung up the phone and looked at the ceiling. Melissa was somewhat at ease.
This was such a big game, and it was time to get it over tomorrow.
On the way back to Moonlight Mansion from the Gibson family, Ryleigh sat in the passenger seat and glanced at Murray, who was driving next to her, from time to time, showing that she was hesitant to say something.
"What’s up?" Murray noticed Ryleigh’s expression and asked.
Ryleigh clenched her hands and looked a little nervous. She pondered for a moment and said, "Just now, I noticed that Mrs. Gibson and Claire looked a little unhappy... Will they..."
"What are you afraid of?" Murray seemed to know what Ryleigh was going to say and interrupted her. He reached out a hand to shake hers. "You are going to marry me, not them. Don’t be afraid."
Ryleigh had been beating around the bush and waiting for such words. She was stunned and then revealed a smile.
"Murray, you are so sweet."
They returned to Moonlight Mansion at dusk. They had dinner together, and then they were busy with their things. At eight o’clock in the evening, Ryleigh knocked on Murray’s door.
Murray just shot a message to Melissa. When he heard the knock, he sent another message over, "Stop contacting." He then turned off the screen, casually put the phone under the pillow, and said, "Come in."
Ryleigh pushed open the door and walked in, but the clothes on her were no different from lingerie, revealing her slender body and smooth fair-skinned shoulders. Ryleigh especially had her hair ironed, making her look more feminine.
"Murray, you haven’t slept yet."
When Murray saw Ryleigh’s dress up, he was visibly stunned for a moment. He then looked away and looked at the novel in his hands, "It’s still early. Why are you wearing so little? What’s the matter?"
"Nothing..."
Ryleigh spoke much more gently than usual. When she saw Murray’s reaction, she secretly laughed in her heart. She tried to sit on the bed, moved closer to Murray, held his arm, and touched his chest.
"I’m restless and can’t fall asleep. I want to stay with you... Murray, we’re getting engaged tomorrow. I... I’m very happy."
As Ryleigh spoke, her hand groped along Murray’s chest down, slowly and softly, and her fingers deliberately drew circles on it. She tried to undo the buttons on Murray’s clothes.
"Lily, don’t do this." Murray held Ryleigh’s hand.
Ryleigh played this kind of trick more than once these days. Most of the time, Murray used the same reason to fob her off. Unexpectedly, Ryleigh played it again, which caused him a headache. Fortunately, the engagement ceremony was held tomorrow.
Murray would be free by then.
"Murray," Ryleigh looked at him in confusion and felt wronged. "We are going to be husband and wife soon. I said I was willing... You don’t have to worry about anything, really."
Even if Murray was unwilling in his heart, he had to continue this play.
Murray rubbed Ryleigh’s hair. "Since you said so, of course, we don’t have to be in a rush."
Murray said with a sigh, "Besides, there are many things to handle tomorrow. You should go back and rest early. No rush now, right?"
