Chapter 995
Elijah, however, seemed nonchalant. âMs. Shaw, Iâve encountered this situation many times before and
I have plenty of experience in handling it. If your ex-husband comes to bother you, I might be able to
help you get rid of him if need be.â
Upon hearing his words, Vickyâs gaze flickered as she looked at him sharply. âMister Harrisons, why do
you sound so confident at handling these kinds of things?â
Elijah cleared his throat awkwardly. âWell⦠Iâve had several girlfriends in the past, and Iâve dealt with
situations where their exes caused trouble. So, I have some experience in that aspect.â
Hearing this, Vicky started wavering.
She wanted to break free from Tyler, and Elijah needed a fake fiance. His engagement ended because
of her, so it was only natural for her to take responsibility for this matter.
After some thought, Vicky asked, âMister Harrisons, it will only take three months at most, right?â
âYes, just three months. You only need to accompany me to my family house and have a meal with
Grandma once a week.â
After all, they were not truly engaged, so there was no need to see each other every day â meeting
once a day per week posed no hindrance to Vickyâs life.
With this in mind, Vicky nodded. âLetâs give it a try, then. If you find me unsuitable, feel free to inform
me at anytime.â
Elijah finally breathed a sigh of relief and reached out his hand to Vicky. âMs. Shaw, hereâs to working
together.â
Vicky politely shook his hand. âPleasant to work with you.â
Upon arriving at Harrisonsâ mansion, Elijah introduced Vicky to his relatives one by one. âVicky, this is
my grandmother.â
Vicky looked at the elderly woman with silver hair and a kind smile. She respectfully greeted her, âHello,
Grandma.â
Old Madam Harrisons grinned from ear to ear and held Vickyâs hand. âOh my, youâre even more
beautiful than in the photos. Elijah, you are one lucky boy.â
Elijah then introduced Vicky to his parents, and she greeted them one by one.
Soon, Old Madam Harrisons invited Vicky to take a seat and have a meal with everyone.
Elijahâs parents, just like Old Madam Harrisons, had very amiable personalities, and Vicky did not feel
any discomfort.
Upon learning that Vicky came from a humble background, they did not show any contempt or
dissatisfaction. On the contrary, when they found out she was a self-starting fashion designer, they
became even more fond of her.
Vicky had originally thought that pretending to be engaged to Elijah would be agonizing and awkward.
Throughout her
time spent there, she did not expect that the afternoon would quickly pass in a relaxed manner. She
even had some enjoyable conversations with the family!
In the evening, Elijah glanced at the clock and interrupted the conversation. âGrandma, Mom, Dadâ¦
Vicky, and I have other engagements tonight, so we should get going now.â
Old Madam Harrisons was reluctant to part with Vicky and held her hand. âVicky, make sure you drop
by more often.â
Vicky felt a lump in her throat as she studied the kind old lady before her, knowing that Old Madam
Harrisons might be gone in three monthsâ time.
She nodded and whispered, âI will.â
Old Madam Harrisons said to Missus Harrisons, âBring me the gift I prepared for Vicky.â
Missus Harrisons nodded and brought out a small jewelry box, before opening it to reveal a beautiful
bracelet inside.â Vicky, this is our family heirloom and since you are going to marry Elijah soon, you
should keep this.â
