The Whole World Seems To Be Falling For My Wife

Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Anthony

It wasn't really a secret that Vincent liked to travel to var places to look for inspiration.

In fact, remote towns were favorite among them.

One time, he happened to stumble upon a mountain near the t: where Maria lived.

Unfortunately, he got in an accident.He down and was injured in the process.

Luckily for him, Maria passing by, so she was able to save him.

"Ugh! I just can't catch a break..."

After being blatantly rejected again, Vincent could only sigh de and complain loudly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"

At this time, a guest was sighted in Vincent's house, which was a rare occasion.

"Let me guess...You have been rejected again, haven't you?" young guest wore a playful smile and seemed to know Vin« very well.

He was able to directly point out what was making this gloomy.

In low spirits, Vincent looked at his guest with a frustrated "My dear disciple doesn't want to accept me as her master.Do know how sad that makes me feel?’

The young guest, who was sitting in a wheelchair, shook his t lightly but remained silent.He actually wanted to say that couldn't be Vincent's disciple if she was yet to accept him as master.

But of course, the young man didn't want to rub more salt into his friend's wounds.

In fact, he would often hear Vincent talk about this person.

But whenever he took the initiative to ask further about her, Vincent was always unwilling to reveal more information.

Even her name remained unknown.

Vincent continued, "I am a lonely old man and she is an orphan.It's the perfect setup for both of us.If she agrees to be my disciple, I can legally take her under my wing and bring her home.Then, I will let her cook for me every day— Ehem! I mean...I will let her learn jade carvings from me every day."

The moment Vincent realized that his tongue slipped, his face turned bright red.He tried to correct himself, but his guest had already heard what he said loud and clear.

In response, the young man chuckled, covering his mouth out of politeness.But it was such a funny incident that he couldn't stop smiling.

Vincent was so ashamed of his blunder.

How could he suddenly blurt out his ulterior motive for trying to turn this girl into his disciple?

"Anthony, stop laughing.You haven't tasted the dishes she makes, so you don't know how sensational her cooking is! Ha! I'm sure if you try it, you'll fall for her.Oh, speaking of which...Are you still single? How about I introduce you to my disciple? I swear you won't regret it."

Hearing this, Anthony let out a bitter smile and politely declined, "No, thanks.Grandpa has already arranged someone for me to marry."

Vincent was stunned, unable to believe what he just heard.

"What? But I heard that you and your grandfather had a falling out.He even deprived you of the right to be his heir, right? So, what's this engagement still for?"

Falling out.

Anthony thought that it was a much better term.He simply smiled, not showing any sign of frustration or disappointment.

Out of nowhere, Vincent asked in a serious tone, "Anthony, do you believe in destiny? All my life, I was trying to find a qualified successor.I almost gave up and thought that it was futile.But during the most unexpected situation, I met her! Can you believe that our encounter happened because I was in an accident on the mountain? I'm telling you! This is fate!"

"An accident on the mountain, huh?" Anthony repeatedly in a low voice, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Yes! If that's not destiny, I don't know what is!"

After a few more minutes of conversation, Anthony deemed it was time to say goodbye.

As he left, he took a jade Buddha statue with him.It was one of Vincent's most famous works and actually the main purpose of his visit.

Soon, Anthony returned to the Wilson family's house in Sheffield.

As soon as he entered the huge mansion, he ran into his uncle, Raymond Wilson, who was currently in charge of all the affairs of the Wilson family.

Upon seeing Anthony sitting in his electric wheelchair, a hint of sarcasm and condescension flashed across Raymond's face.

"Oh, Anthony.You're back already.Is that the birthday gift you're going to give to your grandfather? What do you have ther—"

Raymond's voice disappeared when he saw the jade Buddha statue.

The smug smile on his face also vanished, and all that remained was utter surprise. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Is that...the famous Buddha statue made by Vincent himself? H- how...How'd you manage to obtain it?"

However, Anthony didn't seem to be in the mood for idle chitchat.

"Yes, it is.Now, please excuse me."

Right after answering the question, Anthony directly ended the conversation and left.

Raymond was left there, watching his nephew's receding figure while his eyes were filled with burning jealousy.

"Bah!"

Raymond mocked in disdain.

"Dad has completely given up on him, but he still doesn't want to give up.Does he think he can make everything alright again just by getting his hands on Vincent's work? Dream on!"

Although Raymond said this out loud, deep inside him, he was still a little worried.

Currently, everyone in the Wilson family knew just how mad Michael was at his grandson, and Raymond was one of those who felt delighted by the situation.

Michael wouldn't change his mind just because of a Buddha statue, would he? Raymond certainly hoped not.

After all, with Anthony out of the picture, he had practically taken over the entire Wilson family as the new head.

Of course, he didn't want to lose the power he had just acquired just because Anthony was able to patch things up with Michael again.
