Chapter 871

“I just think both Yelena and Dicky are too young to consider marriage.’ Jay simply came up with a reason, finding it all the more logical after some consideration. “Yelena’s just three! It’s far too early to consider that.”

“It’s called planning ahead, get it? Do you think Yelena wont get rivals for a young man as fine as Dicky?” Zoe said seriously, convincing herself further the more she said it.

Who knows? Richard Levine might be married by the time Yelena becomes an adult, and she would die regretting that her golden goose was poached to be someone else’s son-in-law.

“No. Yelena’s cute, so all the good ones would flock around her anyway,” Jay replied solemnly. “And even if she doesn’t like them or refuses to marry, she can stay with us forever. That’s fine, since I can afford it.”

Zoe was rendered speechless.

Does Jay know that being too nice a father would spoil a daughter? And what was that supposed to mean, that Yelena could stay with them forever?!

“What if you die?” Zoe asked.

‘Til name her the heir to my massive fortune, and she could live her life without worrying about anything.”

In a way, Zoe was impressed; though she wasn’t about to change Jay’s mind about bethroting Yelena to Dicky.

It was her opinion that any other son-in-laws paled in comparison to Dicky, especially after meeting him again recently.

“Just give up already,” Jay said, seeing that Zoe was clearly not abandoning the idea.

When Zoe had something in mind, she wouldn’t just say it-she would do it too.

“How am I supposed to give up? All’s fair in love and war. I’m actually surprised you’d stop Dicky and Yelena from getting together like Cordy did. Actually, forget Cordy stopping them, since it’s reasonable not just anyone deserves a special boy like Dicky—”

“Yelena isn’t just anyone. She’s our daughter,” Jay corrected her.

Zoe shot him a look before continuing, “Either way, we’d be hitting the jackpot if we get Dicky. Cordy has reason to be reluctant. But why are you rejecting the idea too? Don’t you want a good husband for Yelena?”

Jay was speechless. “Zoe, Yelena’s just three.”

“Like I said, it’s about planning ahead…”

“Either way, it’s not happening, not for them,” Jay said, his tone stern and leaving no room for arguments.

“Why?!” Zoe huffed.

Jay pursed his lips, but he didn’t know where to start, especially with the many things that had happened in the past.

He suddenly rose to his feet, ignored her, and strode off. “It’s late. I’m taking Yelena home for dinner.”

Zoe was left fuming-she had just married Jay for a day, and she was already stressed beyond reason.

If this went on, he would be the death of her!

Yet, Cordy had the gall to say they wouldn’t easily get a divorce after marrying?!

It’d be a shocker if Zoe didn’t—hell, she wanted a divorce right this instant!

Over at the capital, Cordy’s smile faded after she hung up.

She was earnest about wishing Zoe well, and she knew how things were going to develop anyway after Zoe was exposed to have a daughter.

It was inevitable for Jay to marry Zoe, since Jay loved Zoe to bits and wanted this badly. It was why Cordy earnestly wished them the best after getting together, following all their tribulations.
