Chapter 211: Sign The Contract
Nathaniel explained, glancing at Sawyer and signaling for him to explain more to his mother and grandmother.
"Everyone, I hope Abigail’s relationship with Grandpa Philips doesn’t leave this room. I don’t want people who might not like this news to target Abigail," Sawyer warned, surprising Walter and the others when they saw his serious expression.
"Why?" Walter asked, confused. "My son, this is good news to share; there’s no need to hide it. Right, Uncle James?"
"Yes, Sawyer. Why don’t you want anyone else to know about my daughter-in-law?" Hannah also chimed in. "I can’t keep this a secret; I want to take her shopping and let my friends know I have a granddaughter." Her eyes beamed excitedly.
Even though her friends didn’t know her husband and son’s identity, Hannah imagined introducing Abigail as her daughter-in-law to all of them.
"I also agree with Walter and Hannah," Martha said, smiling at Abigail before continuing. "I can’t and won’t hide Abigail; she is my first granddaughter-in-law. I want everyone to know about her, including her status as part of the Philips family."
Sawyer was speechless. He had warned his parents and grandparents to keep his marriage a secret, and they had all agreed to his request. However, now they were forgetting their promise.
’How troublesome!’ Sawyer vented his frustration in his mind. He was beginning to regret allowing them to attend his wedding. Each of them only added to his headache.
James shook his head and rejected Walter’s and the others’ ideas. He looked at each one before responding, "I agree with Sawyer’s suggestion."
