A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 136

"Gideon, now that you've brought her over, why don't you introduce her to everyone properly?" Fleur said with a frown, turning to Verity, "Honestly, Verity, I think you're being a bit harsh. When it comes to

marriage, it's all about finding someone you truly love. Things like family background and looks aren't the most important. It's the character, personality, and love you share that matter."

"Fleur, you weren't singing the same tune when it came to Callie, were you? You even said Gideon should find someone with better credentials, a better family, better looks, higher education...

And now, this girl?. How can you judge her character when you haven't even known her yet? She seems a bit immature to me, not to mention lacking in manners. She came to the boyfriend's house without bringing a single gift, and she didn't even bother to say hello. She just hid behind Gideon. Poor guy, he'll have to be both a husband and a babysitter!

Don't get mad at me, I'm just an aunt who cares about Gideon, that's all."

Fleur's expression darkened instantly.

She had been quietly accepting Silas's attention, but now she finally looked up lazily and spoke, "Verity, could you leave me out of this, please?"
