Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife

Chapter 56 Mr. James Was Going to Be Engaged to Someone

Ever since Zoey heard that James liked men, she had been worried about her grandson.

She chose a girl that she liked with great difficulty. And James also promised to get engaged in a

month. But suddenly he wanted to postpone the engagement.

Worrying that he was fooling her again, Zoey felt unwell and even had to be sent to the hospital. She

even had to cover her chest with her hand every day.

"I'm old, and I don't know how long I can live. If I can't witness you get married, I don't know how to face

your grandfather after I die."

"Mom, you are in good health. As long as you rest well, you will definitely live up to a hundred years

old!" Emily, the second daughter of the Hemming family, comforted her.

Emily was James's aunt and Emma's mother.

After her divorce, she returned to the Hemming family and worked in the SA Group. Hearing that Zoey

had been sent to the hospital, she came in a hurry.

Zoey had four children, a daughter, and three sons.

Marcos, the first son, had a daughter, who also joined the SA Group after graduating from University,

but she was working abroad. Emily was the second child. At first, she got married for the sake of a

marriage alliance. Later, the marriage failed and she chose to divorce and brought her daughter back to

the Hemming family.

James's father, Quentin, was the third child. Quentin didn't know anything about the family business

and only cared about antiques. Eli's father, Elias, was the fourth child. Because he worked in the near

city, he had moved out.

In the Hemming family, it seemed that Marcos was the master, but the SA Group was in the control of

James. Thus, he was the one who had the real power. He did not care about some details in the family.

But if there was something important, it could only be carried out when he agreed.

As a result, the rest of the Hemmings complained about this for a long time and even secretly set many

traps for James.

James didn't care about these. As long as they didn't touch his bottom line, it was fine for them to make

a fuss.

"Mom, you'll definitely be alright. James's wife hasn't served you yet!" Marcos's wife said with a smile.

"Don't comfort me. Life is unpredictable. Maybe I'll suddenly die like your Dad. James, while I'm still

alive, you should get engaged as soon as possible!" Zoey's attitude was firm.

Listening to Grandma's nagging, James helplessly pinched his eyebrows and discussed with her.

"Grandma, in four months, I will attend the engagement banquet. A month later, I will be on a business

trip."

Ever since his grandfather died, his grandmother was the only one that was close to him in the family.

He could not refuse any of her requests.

"You can leave your business to someone else. When I asked you to go on a blind date a few times

ago, you agreed at first, but then you ruined it with all sorts of excuses. James, don't try to fool me this

time."

Zoey had become smart. She looked stern and didn't want to compromise.

James's face was gloomy and terrifying. He swept his gaze across the other people and found that

Emily was dodging his gaze.

Someone must have encouraged Zoey to say "leave your business to someone else". As for who it

was, he already knew.

"Grandma, what about this? Four months later, if I won't get engaged, I will resign from the SA Group to

focus on finding a girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, the rest of the Hemmings were all astonished. They exchanged glances and looked

so eager.

"James, what nonsense are you talking about? I think Kathleen is fine. You should get engaged as

soon as possible. This month is good." It was James's mother who reminded him not to be confused.

Many people coveted the position of president of SA Group. Since he said this, something would

definitely happen.

"Mom, since James has promised to you, I believe he's ready to get engaged in four months." Marcos's

wife said with a smile.

"That's right, Mom. James is too busy with his work. Even if he suddenly gets engaged, he still needs a This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

vacation, like a honeymoon. It also takes time."

Emily also smiled. She always stood opposite to James. Today, she finally stood up for him.

"To hold the engagement in a month is too hurried. We can arrange it as soon as possible from now on.

The engagement in four months will definitely be grand."

"What you said makes sense, but a month later is the best time in this year. We can't waste it." James's

mother gritted her teeth angrily. She understood what others were planning.

"It's said that the engagement time is very important. James is too busy, and we can't let the girl feel

wronged. It's better to prepare slowly."

Gracie smiled and took a step forward, blocking Zoey from looking at James' mother.

She was depressed and smiled as she hinted at James. There was a warning in her smile.

"James, have you decided it?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

From beginning to end, James did not look at his mother. Since he achieved the result he wanted, he

showed a slight smile.

"Grandma, I'll hold the engagement in four months."

Zoey stared at him and asked, "Are you sure you won't fool me again?"

"No, Grandma. You can rest assured."

When James left the hospital, he contacted Nolan and asked about why Kara fainted in the gym lounge

last time.

He was too busy before. Later, he went on a business trip. When he heard that Kara disappeared, he

thought it was time to deal with all this after he returned home.

"The person who harmed Miss Kara is the niece of Adam's wife. She is in the same class as Miss Kara.

Her name is Rose." Nolan said.

"Why did she harm Kara?" This was the purpose of his investigation.

"I don't know the exact reason. I guess it was the order of Adam's wife, Sophia. If something happens

to Miss Kara, the shares will automatically become theirs." Nolan sneered.

In that case, the main contradiction was still within the Quain Family!

"If they don't want to live a peaceful life, then teach them a lesson."

James's deep voice carried a cold aura. Although Nolan was not beside him, he was still frightened.

"Mr. James, I understand." Nolan mourned for the Quain family for three seconds in his heart.

...

Kara lay on the desk and looked at the poop scores on the exam paper. She was really discouraged.

"Kara, this score doesn't mean anything. It only means that you have a lot of room for improvement

next time." Arya comforted her.

Kara looked at her exam paper. She couldn't help but roll her eyes when seeing that Arya's score was

even lower.

"Arya, you always comfort me like this, but your score hasn't been improved yet."

Arya was also helpless. In the past, when she was bored in class, Kara would chat with her. But

recently, Kara had been focusing on her studies and did not care about anything that happened around

her.

Arya felt that she had lost Kara's love.

"Kara, don't you have a talent for drawing? You can take the art exam." Elisa suddenly said after

hearing their conversation.

Kara also had such plans, but she still wanted to study economics and manage the Quain Group in the

future.

The Group was her father's accomplishment, so she couldn't give it to other Quains. She had to take it

over and make it rise again.

Although this was difficult...

Looking at her exam paper, she sighed. Her math had been poor since childhood, and she had never

passed it.

"Kara, I've been preparing for the art exam recently. Do you want to come with me?" Elisa took out a

booklet introducing the art exam.

Kara held the book and could not refuse Elisa's kindness. "Let me read it first. I'll tell you the answer

tomorrow."

After returning to the villa and having dinner, she heard Uncle James ask her to go to his study. She

swallowed when she thought of that Uncle James helped her with her homework last time.

"What? Are you unwilling?" James looked cold when seeing her reluctant expression.

Was she unwilling to do her homework, or was she unwilling to stay with him?

"No. How could it be? With Uncle James teaching me, I'm really excited..."
