My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 514

Chapter 513

….
Gary turned his head to look at the slip of paper in Nara’s hand. But before he could see it, Mrs. Spencer pushed Nara away. “You mute, stop pestering my son! Stay away from him! He’s going to marry Miss Gill!”

Pushed back a couple of steps, Nara stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word. All she could do was watch helplessly as Gary was led away by Mrs. Spencer, her eyes reddening with reluctance and sorrow. She was too weak to stand still. After Gary and Mrs. Spencer left, Nara’s vision blurred, and she collapsed to the ground.

…

Once Gary had left the area of small houses, his expression became sad. His face was filled with reluctance. He would take a few steps and then look back. Mrs. Spencer said, “Don’t look back anymore. Let her become your old flame. Son, I’m doing this for your good. A mute is quite inconvenient in daily life. If you break up now, you’ll remember her good qualities. Otherwise, your life together would be a mess.”

Gary said, “Mom, it won’t be like that. Nara and I are perfect together.”

Mrs. Spencer snapped, “How can it not be? Listen to me, and you won’t make mistakes! Also, get ready; I’m taking you to meet Miss Gill tomorrow!”

Gary was about to object when Mrs. Spencer said, “If you don’t go, I’ll just kill myself!”

Mrs. Spencer was indeed ruthless. Even now, Gary remembered that as a child, during an argument between his parents, his mother threatened to jump from the building, and she did jump. From the height of the third floor, she was lucky to be obstructed by something on the way down, or else she would have died. After that, his father didn’t dare to provoke her anymore. She dictated every decision in the house…

At this moment, Gary profoundly understood the helplessness his father had felt back then…

…

After escorting Keira away, Matias went to buy groceries. When passing by the alley’s entrance, he saw Austin, who was carrying a thermos. He stepped forward and forcefully placed it in Matias’s hand.

Matias frowned. “What are you doing? We don’t need it!”

Austin sneered, “I know you’re too proud to eat my food. But what about Nara? She’s weak and needs nourishment; just say you bought it…”

Matias wanted to say something else, but his gaze fell on his purchased vegetables. Others might not believe they were living so poorly in Clance, struggling even to afford meat…

Thinking of Nara’s pale face, Matias clenched his jaw and didn’t insist on returning the thermos. Austin leaned against the wall. “You don’t have to say it’s from me. I’ll come and deliver food every day. You just need to tell her… that you made it.”

Matias sighed. “Alright. I just hope you don’t always appear in front of Nara, disturbing her mood.”

“I know.”

After saying this, Austin turned and walked away.

Matias asked, “Where are you going?”

Austin answered, “I’m going to check on how to make croissants. Nara used to love eating that. I’ll wait for you here at seven in the morning.”

Matias didn’t know what to say. Austin used to be such a nasty and trashy person, but the Austin of now suddenly seemed less detestable. Matias shook his head helplessly, carrying the thermos into the yard, only to see Nara on the ground. He was startled and quickly helped her up. “Nara, what happened to you?”

Nara came to her senses bewilderedly, and seeing Matias, she wanted to cry. She attempted to gesture something but then stopped herself. She knew that both Matias and Austin were good to her. If they found out that Gary chose his mother over her under pressure, they might resent Gary…

Therefore, Nara only pondered briefly before signaling, “It’s fine. I just went out to the bathroom and fainted from exhaustion.”

Matias immediately carried her into the room, and after tucking her in, he turned to look at the thermos. He was useless… Nara needed nourishment but had no money and still needed aid from Austin…

He gave a bitter smile, picked up the thermos, entered the kitchen, and poured its contents into a bowl. After a while, he brought the bowl back into the room. Inside was chicken soup, which was easy to digest and nutritious. But Nara ate absentmindedly, her thoughts on how Gary was doing. She wanted to text Gary, but just as she found her phone, she discovered that Mrs. Spencer had smashed it. If she used her brother’s phone, her brother would find out…

Nara decided to wait until her phone was fixed before contacting Gary.

…

The next day.

At the Spencer residence.

Mrs. Spencer was on the couch talking on the phone with tears. “You have no idea how enticing that mute girl is. My son Gary is completely bewitched by her! Alas!

“Luckily, Gary still recognizes me as his mother. But the advice you gave me was excellent. As soon as I took up the kitchen knife and threatened him, he immediately obeyed!

“That’s not to say I was threatening him. If Gary really wouldn’t listen, I could indeed die right in front of him! The son I raised, why should he end up with that mute?

“Right, I’m taking Gary to meet Miss Gill today to set up this marriage. He should forget that mute girl once he has a new girlfriend!”

Having said this, Mrs. Spencer hung up the phone, went straight upstairs, and tried to open Gary’s bedroom door, only to find it locked inside.

Mrs. Spencer banged on the door furiously, “Open up! Gary, open the door. Do you want me to climb in from outside? Fine. If you are not afraid I’ll fall, then I’ll climb!”

With these words, the door opened.

Gary looked haggard, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, clearly not having slept all night.

Mrs. Spencer blurted out, “Don’t look like your mother just died. I’m taking you to the Gill family to show you how much they value Miss Gill and what a wealthy life you’ll have in the future!”

Gary was like a puppet on a string, devoid of his own thoughts. He and Mrs. Spencer went downstairs, got in the car, and soon arrived at the Gill residence. When Mrs. Spencer tactfully brought up the matter to Lady Gill, the latter frowned and stared at Gary for a while.

She knew that Mrs. Spencer felt her daughter, having grown up outside, was not a match for those from wealthy and noble families. Lady Gill, on the other hand, didn’t see it that way. With herself at the helm and three older brothers to dote on Nara, as long as the suitor wasn’t blind or heartless, he would treat Nara well. After all, her daughter’s status was clear for all to see.

But then Lady Gill thought about Nara being mute… She momentarily pondered, glanced at Gary again, and felt he might be suitable…

Gary was, after all, someone Lady Gill had watched grow up. He was honest, conscientious, and not one to play tricks. Although the Spencer family’s social status was much lower than theirs, that was not an issue. With the support of the Gill family, the Spencer family wouldn’t flounder, especially since one-third of the Gill family’s fortune was to be given to their daughter…

With this in mind, Lady Gill lowered her gaze. “That’s fine; the two children can get to know each other. How about this: Send me a photo of Gary, and I will send one to my daughter. I’ll also show you a picture of her. Let the young people see if they are compatible.”

As she spoke, Lady Gill picked up her phone and opened a photo of Nara.
