His Versatile Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 124

Chapter 124
A quick glance at the time showed that it was already three in the morning, so he wondered why she might be calling at this ungodly hour
Vinson answered blandly wearing a frown on his face. “What is it?”
Susanne’s displeasure seeped through the receiver from the other end. “Didn’t I tell you to come home earlier tonight? I have Mrs. Greene over for cards and have held her back until now, so why aren’t you back yet?”
Vinson replied with indifference, “I was at a dinner and had a little too much to drink, so I’ll be putting up at a hotel tonight.”
Susanne’s voice elevated several notches. “Dinner? Don’t you start bringing some loose woman back from there! The Greenes’ young lady seems to be of good breeding and is highly educated, and not bad looking as well. Their whole family would be returning to Horington tomorrow so you must come have a look at her right away!”
Vinson sounded a little impatient. “I’ve no plans to get married these few years, so don’t bother introducing women to me.”
That got Susanne vastly worried, “My dear boy, why are you talking like that? What do you mean you have no plans to get married? It’s not like I’m asking you to do so right away. I’m only suggesting for you to keep an eye out for prospective partners, that’s all, cause you’ re always either working or hanging out with those three friends of yours. What about yourself, seeing how they’ve been swapping one girlfriend after the other?”

“I’ve my own plans,” he stated plainly.
“Tsk! Your plans are exactly what I left you to the last two years, and what happened after that?
I’ve organized so many banquets for you, and yet you’ve shown no interest in anyone. So, how do you expect me not to worry? You should know for yourself that things have not been dandy inside the company, and it’s only by bearing me a grandson could we stabilize things.”
“You can rest assured that I won’t allow things to go sideways there.”
“L… Ah, there are some things that I can’t share with you right now, but you absolutely have to bear this in mind-get married as soon as you can.
Amidst his own vexation, Vinson found his gaze falling upon Arielle.
“Don’t think you could wriggle yourself out of this by staying silent. If you won’t find a partner for yourself, then I will…” Before Susanne could finish speaking, someone else was heard urging her along over the other end. “Are you done inside yet, Mrs. Southall? It’s your turn to deal.”
“I’ll be right there..” Susanne then continued in a hushed tone, “Are you listening? Hurry up and get yourself back here!”
“I won’t be coming home today.”
“What? Not coming home? I’m doing my best to stall thern, so you better get yourself in no matter what!”
“Like I said, I’m not coming home cause I’m outside with your future daughter-in-law.”
“What!” Susanne howled in horror.
He could not be bothered to continue prattling, Vinson hit the end-call button, and looked quite
dour when he walked over to Arielle’s side.
