Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time

Chapter 57

When Queenie returned home, Lydia was playing bridge with a group of other women. She was clad in a form-fitting dress, and her makeup was carefully done. Although she was over fifty, Lydia only appeared to be in her early forties due to her excellent skincare routine.

Queenie could hear someone ingratiating Lydia the moment she stepped inside.

"You're so fortunate. Your daughter is amazing for being able to snag the president of Gardner Corporation for herself. She'll be able to live like a queen now."

A smile bloomed on Lydia's face when she heard that, after which she waved a hand. "Oh, it's also because Mr. Gardner was quite taken by her."

However, what followed was a bunch of gossip.

"Queenie's been courting Mr. Gardner for a few years now. She's still just his fiancee. When will they tie the knot? Her status in society will be different once she is officially Mrs. Gardner." "That's right. You don't get any protection under the law as just someone's fiancee. She actually needs to have a marriage certificate to be officially part of the Gardner Family."

"Is Mr. Gardner not ready to marry Queenie..."

Queenie couldn't stop the change in her expression when she heard that, and she gave a light cough before walking further into the room. The gossiping women all quietened in an instant, and their gazes shifted to her. Queenie had a smile on her face as she spoke in a gentle and humble tone, "Good day, ladies. I'm here to see my mother today. Could you please end your game for the day and come back another time?"
