Chapter 06

******

"The great young master Bottoms of the Bottoms family wants to propose a marriage between himself and the Johnson family!!!"

Everybody's eyes instantly widen to the extent that they almost started falling out of their sockets.

What Alan Bottoms said just now is completely out of their expectations and thoughts.

"Wow!!! What a lucky family!"

After overcoming their shock, thick enviousness that could almost drown an entire nation abruptly descended over everybody.

As for Rex Magnus who also heard this statement, he doesn't think much about it because his wife wasn't the only young lady in the Johnson family.

Also, he felt that she wouldn't be an option since she was already married to him.

Thinking dismissively like this, he finally walked away without anybody noticing.

.....

"You… you… you want to marry someone from my family?"

The Old Matriarch ultimately returned to her senses after looking astonished for a while and instantly became thoroughly excited to an extent that she couldn't control herself anymore.

'The Bottoms family wants to connect with my family?'

'Wow!!! Husband, do you see this, it's like I would end up being the one to finally lift the family which was raised and wrecked while you were alive.'

"Wonderful!!!"

"This is truly wonderful!!"

Not waiting for Alan Bottoms' response, the old Matriarch began to exclaim excitedly all over.

Never in her entire life had she expected this sort of startling surprise.

Whilst that was going on with the Old Matriarch, all the married women of the Johnson family apart from Fiona has also returned to their senses and now become filled with regret for having married earlier.

'Ahh… poor me, how could I have married this ugly person? Why hadn't I waited a bit for this handsome godly being?'

'Boohoo… I lost, I've lost so much!'

It is the unmarried ones right now who are the most excited and are currently about to get drowned in their fervor.

And luckily for them, the Johnson family only have three unmarried maidens, so they had automatically assumed right now that Alan Bottoms would definitely pick from them.

They began to recheck themselves, making sure they were still great looking and in outstanding shape.

One of the trio even goes further by taking out a little makeup kit and applying the contents to her face.

"Move forward, move forward. We mustn't lose this great opportunity."

Ethan suddenly urged one of the ladies, the one currently applying makeup on the one already present on her face.

Right now, his heart is about to burst out of his chest due to tension.

'Wouldn't I automatically become the Patriarch if my sister marries that great figure?'

'I must do all it takes to make sure grandma picked her for him!'

Thinking of this, Ethan suddenly yanked his sister's hand roughly and rushed toward Alan Bottoms.

Although the hand yanked is currently hurting her badly, Ethan's sister, Sarah is already over the moon excited by the great opportunity before her, so she willingly allowed herself to be pulled forward without the slightest reluctance.

When the families of the remaining two ladies saw this, they also yanked their hands and rushed forward with them, competing with Alan Bottoms.

The funniest thing is that it wasn't only these three that were urged forward.

Even the parent of some of the already-married ladies couldn't control themselves anymore. They instantly shamelessly dragged their already married daughters forward, hoping slightly that Alan Bottoms would be interested in them.

"Who cares if you already have two children for your husband, you would directly be divorcing him if you were chosen by the young master." The mother of one of the married ladies chastised her blushing and slightly reluctant daughter.

As for the rest of the ladies present that doesn't move, their eyes were filled to the brim right now with remorse and sadness.

It was only Fiona that doesn't look moved at all by everything going on.

What she's currently feeling at this moment is a great relief.

Yes, an enormous relief that Alan Bottoms had entered and diverted the topic from her husband.

'I must teach that stupid Rex Magnus a lesson he would never forget in his life after returning home tonight.'

Just as she made up her mind, Fiona suddenly felt a tug on her arm.

Startled and scared, she immediately yanked it back before abruptly realizing that the person tugging her was her mother.

"What are you doing, mother?" She couldn't help but mouth while squinting her eyes.

"What do you mean by that stupid question of yours, hun?" Sally abruptly queried furiously while glaring at her daughter.

"Of cause, I'm taking you to go meet that young master in case he takes a liking to you."

The instant Fiona heard this, her eyes widen for the first time today, and she became thunderstruck.

She suddenly eyed her mother as if she is a stranger.

"Mo… mother, have you forgotten I'm a married woman?" she suddenly questioned, making Sally's glare on her turn increasingly furious.

"What marriage are you talking about, hun? Haven't I told you a long time ago that that stupid fool isn't my son-in-law? So you definitely will divorce him if this amazing young master takes even the slightest interest in you."

Finished spatting this, Sally doesn't give her daughter any more opportunity to speak and directly tries dragging her again when she realized that Fiona wouldn't bulge.

"You stupid child, are you now too old to listen to your mother?"

Although everything that just happened looked like it had taken a long time. Barely three minutes had passed since the Old Matriarch questioned Alan Bottoms.

Looking at the overly enthusiastic and excited Old Matriarch, Alan Bottoms finally became greatly relieved.

'Since this lowly old woman is already this excited, she would happily give me her granddaughter, right?'

Alan Bottoms suddenly thought happily.

He doesn't care at all about all the people crowding him at this moment since he's already used to something like this.

He finally decided to reply to the Old Matriarch's question.

Looking into her eyes filled to the brim with exhilaration currently gazing at him, Alan Bottoms abruptly nodded his head gently.

"Yes, Madamé Johnson. There is a particular young lady in your family that has stolen my heart a week ago, and since then, I hadn't been able to have a single moment of rest. I've been thinking nonstop and having dreams about her."

Just as Alan Bottoms uttered this, everybody, especially all the ladies present began to gasp.

"Wow!!! How lucky must the lady be?!'

"Who could have stolen the heart of the amazing young master to this extent?"

While everybody was still busy thinking of this, someone could be seen currently jumping excitedly in the crowd.

"Brother, that lady is me, I'm very certain of it!"

Hearing this from his sister, Ethan suddenly widens his eyes.

"Are… are you sure?"

"Yes brother, I'm very certain of this. I saw him in a restaurant I went to with my friends last week, who would have known that he saw me too?"

Although Sarah had tried her best to speak quietly, the excitement visible in her voice had made everybody near her hear clearly what she just say, so they directly became stumped, shocked, and dumbfounded.

"Wow!!! This lady of the Johnson family has now gained a foothold in the world."

"Wow!! How lucky must she have been to have directly stolen the heart of such a great man?"

Even Alan Bottoms had become dumbfounded right now.

He suddenly couldn't help but glance abruptly at the lady that just claimed herself to be the one he had fallen in love with, then instantly, a wave of disgust hit him.

Just as he felt this, the Matriarch's voice sounded.

"Young… young master Bottoms, is… is what my wonderful granddaughter just uttered the… the truth?"

Everybody ultimately became quiet after hearing this question, then directly, their eyes turned to Alan Bottoms.

As for Alan Bottoms who also heard the question, his gaze stayed on Sarah for a while, making her turn completely nervous before suddenly shaking his head slightly.

"No. I haven't met this lady before."

Everybody, "_"

They became speechless and suddenly turned their gazes back to Sarah.

"shameless!!!"

"How could someone be this shameless?"

"What a great liar!"

"Wow, what an amazing granddaughter of the Johnson family."

Hearing all this, Ethan couldn't help but abruptly glare ferociously at his sister before secretly dropping her hand and shifting to one side as if trying to inform everybody that he wasn't related to her.

As for Sarah, she doesn't notice all this.

Right now, she's currently busy being stunned to death and her head is presently thundering hysterically.

'How could it not be me?'

'I'm very certain I'm the only one from the family he saw last week, how could he say it was another girl?!'

…..

Looking at this person from her point of view right now, the old Matriarch couldn't help but abruptly shake her head and breath in deeply.

Although she's currently angered to the core, she felt that now isn't the time to teach her a lesson.

Turning back to Alan Bottoms, she gave him an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry for letting you see this disgraceful side of my family," she bowed.

Instantly, Alan Bottoms shamelessly accepted the bow before waving her off.

"It's nothing, madamé Johnson."

The old Matriarch finally heaved a great sigh of relief.

"So… young master Bottoms, could you tell me which lucky lady of my family was able to gain your love?"

Instantly again, everybody stopped whatever they were muttering and thinking before turning their complete attention to Alan Bottoms, waiting for his response.

Alan Bottoms firstly smiled brightly for a while, remembering the stunning face he saw that day, then slowly, he raised his head and glanced in a particular direction before raising his forefinger, he pointed at her.

"She, Fiona Johnson."
