"Did Miss Audrey fall in love with Mr. Meg?"
"Mr. Meg is so outstanding, his cooking is so delicious, mature, steady, gentle, considerate, and good-looking. Even if she fell in love with him … it doesn't seem strange."
"Sigh … she's so beautiful, has a good figure, and is so bold. Will Mr. Meg fall in love with her?"
Gloria sat on the swing in the courtyard and frowned. She had a lot on her mind.
After returning from Mamy's, she felt that she had gained a friend, but it also seemed that she had gained a rival.
"Bah bah bah, how can you think like that? You and Mr. Meg are just business partners." Gloria blushed. She suddenly realized that she was thinking about these things like a little resentful wife. It was as if Mr. Meg was already her exclusive possession.
Mr. Meg was so outstanding. He was always surrounded by a group of beautiful young ladies. Just the waitresses in the restaurant were as beautiful as fairies.
"What is our family's Gloria thinking about? Why is your face so red? Are you thinking about some family's young master?" Debra had appeared in the courtyard at some point, and was looking at Gloria with a smile as she sat on the swing.
"Mother." Gloria raised her head and met Debra's eyes. She shyly and guiltily said, "I'm not …"
Debra looked at Gloria's expression. She already had an idea. She smiled and said, "Tell Mother, which family's young master can make my precious daughter think about him? If he's suitable, I'll have your father talk to his parents. You've also reached the age where you should talk about marriage."
"I'm really not." Gloria quickly waved her hands. She looked at Debra, but suddenly recalled what Miss Audrey had told her before. A marriage without the blessings of one's family would not be happy. After hesitating for a while, she looked at Debra, and said, "Mother, let me ask you a question. I have a friend who has fallen in love with a single man with a daughter. Do you think they can be together?"
"Which friend of yours?" Debra asked as she looked into Gloria's eyes with a hint of scrutiny.
"It's … it's a friend I met recently. She's a beautiful orc lady." Gloria felt a little guilty and answered casually.
Debra didn't suspect anything. After all, Gloria never lied. She thought for a while, and said, "Although a man raising a child alone doesn't necessarily mean that he's a bad person, if your friend really likes that man, she still has to consider it carefully.
Whether or not she could accept the child was very important to the child and her future life.
The second is whether her family will agree to this marriage. As parents, who doesn't want their daughter to marry a good husband? After all, raising a child is still somewhat different. "
"Amy is cute and sensible. Mr. Meg, raising a child alone, is mature and steady. He knows how to take care of others. Moreover, he doesn't show off his talents. He's low-key, gentle, and well-educated. He's indeed different from those spoiled young masters." Gloria looked thoughtful. It seemed that her mother and the others also liked this kind of person very much.
Gloria's face blushed slightly. She didn't expect her mother to be so open-minded. In this case, she and Miss Audrey were on the same level again.
"Miss Gloria, Master wants you to go to the meeting room." At this moment, Menard respectfully said from outside the courtyard.
"Okay." Gloria agreed and jumped down from the swing.
"I heard that after Cyril and his family came back, they went to your grandfather's place with your grandmother. They …" Debra looked a little worried.
"Mother, don't worry. Grandfather has his own judgment. I'll be back soon." Gloria said with a smile and turned to walk out of the courtyard.
"This child … has grown up." Debra looked at Gloria's disappearing figure and smiled with relief.
Gloria arrived at the meeting room. Geoffrey was sitting at the head of the table. Old Madam Denise was sitting on his right. Cyril and his family of four were standing to the side.
"Grandfather, Grandmother." Gloria walked up and greeted Geoffrey and Denise first. Then, she looked at Cyril and his family indifferently.
"Gloria, what's with your attitude? Don't you know how to greet your uncle and aunt when you see them?" Cyril was a little dissatisfied. "You're not strict enough and your behavior is inappropriate. You're embarrassing Family Moreton!"
"That's right! We're older sisters! "Herty and Hernie also said with a sharp tone.
"I wonder if Uncle Cyril has the same awareness when he's messing around outside. Does he know that he's embarrassing Family Moreton?" Gloria looked at Cyril and said calmly. As for the two sharp-tongued cousins, she directly ignored them. She only thought of them as noisy old crows.
"You …" Cyril's face and ears flushed red upon hearing that.
Herty and Hernie's faces were also red. They wanted to tear apart that perfect face of hers.
"Gloria." Denise's face was cold. She raised her voice and was about to scold Gloria.
"Cyril and his family said that you've been giving them a hard time along the way. Is that true?" Geoffrey interrupted Denise and looked at Gloria.
"I went all the way up north to seek refuge. Gloria acted according to the rules, and my conscience is clear," Gloria replied calmly.
Geoffrey looked at Gloria and suddenly smiled. He nodded and said, "You've done a good job leading the family to the north. Go back and rest."
Gloria's eyes flashed with a strange light. However, she still bowed slightly to Geoffrey and Denise and turned to leave.
"Father, this …" Cyril looked at Gloria's departing figure and suddenly became anxious.
"Shut up. If you still want to stay in this family, you'd better think about how you're going to behave in the future." Geoffrey looked coldly at Denise and said, "Too kind a mother will spoil her son." Then, he left in a huff.
Denise and Cyril looked at each other in confusion.
…
Meg found a good shop at the entrance of the market. A shop that originally sold dried seafood had closed, and the owner was looking for rent. Meg added an extra 200,000 copper coins and bought the two-story shop.
It wasn't that Meg was stupid and had a lot of money. It was just that the location of the shop was perfect. It was right at the entrance of the market. People who came to buy groceries had to pass by the door. When the time came, he could display the octopus tentacles of various weights in front of the door. It would definitely attract people's attention.
As long as the octopus tentacles business was successful, the two shops would be able to earn back their capital very quickly.
After signing the contract and transferring the ownership, Meg put away the property certificate and rode his bicycle back to the restaurant. On the way back, he called Gina, who had just returned, out at the ice cream shop. He asked her to write a letter to Dexter and ask him to find a group of fishermen at the port of the Boundless Sea Realm. They would be in charge of catching octopus tentacles and building a quick-freeze warehouse to store them.
"Perfect. The chain has been connected. Next, I have to prepare for a full-scale promotion." Meg whistled as he returned to the restaurant. He began to think about the next step of the plan.
