Chapter 259

Upse

Upset

There was a hint of pride in Fiona's eyes.

She looked at Joseph and said with a smile, "Josh, I heard that Grandma wants to go visit St. Mary Church. I just heard that the head priest of St. Mary Church is coming back next week. Shall we take Grandma with us then?" Fiona deliberately raised her voice to make sure that Lucille, who was already going upstairs, could hear

However, Lucille did not stop for a second. She slowly went up to the second floor and returned to her room before closing the door behind her.

In the living room, Madam Dahlia was about to serve Fiona a cup of scented tea since she was a guest. When she heard that, she stopped in her tracks and instantly got upset.

Fiona's true intentions were way too obvious.

Joseph was already engaged, after all. How could she refer to Madam Collins as "Grandma" and suggest that they take her with them? That made it sound like she was Joseph's fiancee instead of Lucille. Madam Dahlia secretly rolled her eyes, then turned around and left with the tea.

She would simply let Fiona die of thirst!

No matter what, she wouldn't serve her.)

Fiona was completely focused on Joseph. After she was done speaking, she carefully looked at him.

The man had a half-smile on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. His deep eyes were cold and didn't have a semblance of warmth in them, which was shocking.

Fiona was a little flustered. It felt like she couldn't hide her thoughts in front of him. She hurriedly explained, "Josh, don't be angry. It was just a suggestion. If-"

Joseph interrupted her carelessly.

"It seems that you didn't listen to anything I said last time, Miss Melling."

What had he said last time?

He said... that they weren't close.

Fiona's face stiffened. With a wronged look on her face, she murmured, "Do you really have to be like this, Josh? We've known each other for so many years, and we grew up together. Don't you care about our friendship at all?" Joseph had a faint grin on his face. "Did we?"

Those two words alone were as ruthless as they could be.

He didn't remember, and he didn't care.

Fiona was choked up.

She knew that she would get a heart-wrenching answer like that.

The Collins and Melling families were old friends. That was the only reason why she had met Joseph a few times when she was young. Other than that, there was no connection between them.

They truly weren't close at all.

Upsel

She had wanted to try and soften Joseph's heart, but it was impossible.

Fiona paused for a moment, but she still pretended to be oblivious. She smiled and said, "Josh, the truth is, I'm not here for you this time. I'm here for Miss Lucille. I have to thank her in person for saving my grandfather. Fortunately, she has amazing medical skills. Otherwise, she would have taken the initiative to break off the engagement with you." Break off the engagement?

Joseph's eyes grew sharp. "What do you mean?"

"Ah. I seem to have said too much." Fiona pretended to be flustered and covered his mouth. Seeing that Joseph was upset, she paused and hesitantly said, "Honestly, it's nothing much. It's just that Lucille used her marriage contract with you as a bet. She said that if she lost, she would take the initiative to break off the engagement with you..."

No man would be able to accept it if their fiancee treated their engagement as a bet..

Fiona's eyes flickered, and she couldn't hide the pride in her heart.

That was the real purpose of her visit.

She wanted to sabotage their relationship.

She refused to believe that the usually indifferent Joseph would still be neutral in the face of that information.

However, to Fiona's surprise, not only was Joseph not angry, he even had a subtle smile on his face.

He petted the cat's head and muttered.to himself in a helpless and doting tone, "Hm... It seems that I'm not good enough as a fiance."

Fiona was at a loss for words.

What was wrong with him? Shouldn't he have gotten furious and questioned Lucille about what the marriage contract meant to her? It would be best if the two of them had a big fight and parted ways. Then, the engagement would be canceled and they would no longer have anything to do with each other,

However, to Fiona's surprise, Joseph had placed the blame on himself. He felt that it was because he hadn't done well enough that Lucille wasn't taking their relationship seriously.
