Chapter 267 McKenzie merely stood by their sides, her elegant face reddened slightly as she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Anthony remained emotionless as he quipped, âSince when are you in charge of choosing my partner?â His cold tone was filled with displeasure.
Darryl growled, âHow old are you now? Youâre almost thirty! What are you waiting for? Is it that youâre still trying to find that woman from five years ago?
âOh Anthony, I know youâre holding a grudge against us, but no matter who it is, nobody could accept a nobody who gave birth to your boy.â
Susan pulled on McKenzie and walked forward. âMcKenzie is a clean and healthy girl. She doesnât mind that youâve got a son and said sheâd treat Momo well. What else are you hesitating for? So what if you found the woman from five years ago? How could she compare t o McKenzie?â
McKenzie looked at Anthony elegantly as her red lips parted, âAnthony, your parents are getting old. Do you really want to see them worrying over you? Also, Momo will need a mother to provide him with a healthy childhood. Iâve talked it out with your parents, and as long as weâre engaged, Iâll announce Momo as my child so he can become the Bailey familyâs heir.â
That was already their greatest gesture.
Anthony, on the other hand, merely sipped his wine. âAre you done?â he sassed in a low voice. 1 His reply effectively caught them off-guard, and they did not know how to respond.
Anthony continued with a cold tone, âIf thatâs all, please leave.â His cold tone had not even a hint of warmth.
McKenzie stiffened. She was so beautiful and skilled, but why did Anthony spared not even a glance at her?
Darryl smacked on his walking stick furiously. âAnthony! Do you want me to choke to death? You;ve moved out for so many years, when will you ever stop fooling around? Do you know that youâve brought so much shame to the Bailey family? You should be grateful that McKenzie doesnât mind about your past! Howâre you so ungrateful?!â
âWell, why donât you marry her then?â Anthony glanced at him as he put down the wine glass. He stood up and was ready to leave.
Darryl pointed at him with his finger furiously. âYou...! You!â Agitated beyond relief, Darryl suddenly gasped for air.
Susan soothed his chest hastily, and she glared at Anthony. âAnthony, your dad is trying to help. How could you say such things to him? Are you trying to kill him?â
Anthony did not bother replying. He turned around, aloof and captivating, as he went straight to the staircase. He did not know why they came here, but since they were pressuring him into marriage, he did not have to waste anymore of his time.
The hall was left with the three of them, and McKenzie clenched her fists tightly. Her suitors could queue around the globe, yet Anthony was the only who did not seem to be impressed by her. Why so?
Susan held on her hand and comforted, âMcKenzie, donât take it personally. Anthony has been behaving like this since young, and since youâre caught up with business, both of you havenât been spending time with one other, thus resulting in the lack of feelings. From today onward, come here everyday to spend some time with the boy. Try to spend more time with both of them.â
âBut...this doesnât seem right.â McKenzie lowered her head.
Susan comforted, âWhatâs not right about this? I do have a say here. Youâll come here for three to four hours daily.â
