The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith-Chapter 1544

Chapter 1544: 696 Getting Marriage Certificate_2 Chapter 1544: 696 Getting Marriage Certificate_2 Their marriage was now set in stone.

With this thought, she returned to the Aria household.

Laughter and joyful conversations could be heard from the main hall, setting an atmosphere that the Aria household hadn’t experienced for quite some time.

Startled, she quickly walked in, only to see a young woman sitting next to her grandmother, whose hand she affectionately held.

As the woman looked up, her eyes were full of laughter.

Charlotte Aria’s pupils shrunk.

It was Nikita Parker!

...

Time had been extremely kind to her.

With her stunning beauty and elegant demeanor that radiated warmth and grace.

She was indeed a vibrant, out-and-out beauty.

The splendorous laugh of the woman seemed to brighten the entire antique hall.

When Charlotte Aria saw the green jade bracelet on the woman’s wrist, her eyes flickered.

“Let me guess, with such elegance, you must be Charlotte.

My dear sister-in-law, I am fortunate indeed.”

Her tone was natural and familiar, as if she had already become part of this family.

Madam Aria had a beaming smile on her face, but when she looked towards Charlotte Aria, her laughter faded away.

“Charlotte, what are you waiting for?

Come and greet your future aunt.”

Charlotte gave a start, her gaze instinctively landing on Peter Aria seated at the lower end, sipping his tea.

Peter Aria looked gentle, occasionally glancing at Nikita Parker, a silent understanding exchanging between them.

Charlotte Aria quickly regained her composure, stepping forward, “Hello, Aunt.

I’m Charlotte.”

She had anticipated that her grandmother wouldn’t be opposed to it, but she hadn’t expected her to lavish Nikita Parker with so much affection.

Wasn’t it rumored that her grandmother favored status above all else and had deliberately torn them apart a dozen years ago?

What a drastic change.

Well, her uncle was already in his forties and it was inevitable that even if he was in love with a beggar, their grandmother probably wouldn’t object, unless she wanted him to remain single for life.

Nikita Parker said warmly, “We will be family from now on, no need for formalities.”

“Who’s family with you?” Charlotte Aria derided in her heart.

“Charlotte, your aunt is not an ordinary person.

No one knows who she has offended to have been driven to reside here.

Let’s hope she doesn’t bring bad luck to our Aria family.

We can’t bear such a burden.”

Catherine Liam’s voice dripped with sarcasm, showing off her spite in full.

Heaven only knows how shocked she felt when she saw Peter Aria introducing a woman to Madam and asking for her hand in marriage.

Madam Aria immediately consented without any hesitation, holding the woman’s hand, asking for her wellbeing, and even giving her the ancestral jade bracelet.

Catherine Liam’s nose turned crooked with indignation.

It seemed to her that Madam Aria was now biased towards Javania.

Or maybe she was just blind?

She thought that some vixen had seduced Peter Aria and she was astonished by the cunning tactics of whoever this vixen might be.

After Madam Aria’s words — “It was I who had wronged you…”

Catherine Liam suddenly saw the light.

Peter Aria’s love for her was unwavering.

He had fallen for this one woman his entire life.

She thought the woman had been dead for a dozen years, but she was still alive.

And she didn’t know how she had maintained her youthful looks.

Catherine Liam was overwhelmed with jealousy.

With this woman at home, would she still have a place in the Aria family?

Unable to resist, she continued to shoot barbs with her words.

“The future sister-in-law is really flattering.

Why don’t we wait and see if I bring bad luck or good luck to the Aria family?”

Catherine Liam huffed, “Despite being a lady, you lack grace.

There is no formal agreement between you and Peter, you shouldn’t be so presumptuous.”

Peter Aria slammed the cup of tea onto the table, causing Catherine Liam’s heart to skip a beat.

She lifted her gaze subconsciously, only to see irate fury in Peter Aria’s otherwise calm eyes.

“Tomorrow is an auspicious day, and Fanny and I will be getting our marriage license.”

Catherine Liam choked, blurting out subconsciously, “So soon?”

“What is quick?” Madam Aria retorted with a cold tone.

“Fanny is a good girl.

She and Peter had a tough journey, I wish she could get married and come here today.

Do you have anything else to say?”

Catherine Liam closed her lips tightly, daring not to resist Madam Aria’s words.

Charlotte Aria smiled slightly, “Congratulations Uncle and Aunt.

When will the wedding take place?”

Peter Aria responded lightly, “Aunt Fanny doesn’t like big parties.

We’ll just have a meal with friends and family.

And as for the wedding ceremony, we’ll plan it whenever Fanny decides.”

“Really?

What a pity, it’s such a joyous day and Aubree isn’t here.” Charlotte Aria’s tone held a tinge of regret.

Madam Aria’s expression turned wistful at the mention of Aubree.
