Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Arranged Childhood Marriage

If I’d known earlier that using Ann’s wallpaper could solve so many problems, I would have used it sooner!

Emmy and Ann originally came to watch the fun.

But they ended up hearing this sentence.

Emmy got jealous, saying sarcastically, "Then why haven’t I seen you use my photo as wallpaper? Am I not cute?"

Fatty looked at the tablet in his hand, discreetly deleting the records.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

He asked about the Ferris wheel timing in advance.

Otherwise, he would’ve been exposed.

Though he lost earlier while sparring with Edwin Blake.

He could clearly sense that two people were ganging up on him.

It’s an honorable defeat, though.

Just wondering if the IP address was cleaned up.

If he gets caught, there’ll be another fierce battle for sure.

He replied, "Everyone’s cute, but I just don’t want to use your photo as wallpaper. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, Ann blushed even more.

She shyly ran to Madeline Woods, hugging her leg and burying her face.

Ivy River suggested seriously to Madeline Woods, "Why don’t we set a childhood engagement?"

Madeline Woods was furious, "No way, my daughter deserves better! Why must she be tied to your son!"

Ivy River chuckled and whispered in her ear, "Fatty has Edwin Blake’s genes; he won’t be that bad. Don’t you believe that?"

"Pfft, who’s interested in his genes? I’m worried his bad boy genes will be passed to Fatty, and if he breaks Ann’s heart, I could kill him!"

Madeline Woods replied with an exasperated tone.

Ivy River replied calmly, "Then why can’t my love-fool genes get passed down?"

After hearing this, Madeline Woods looked seriously at Ivy River.

Paused, then slowly said, "I think a childhood engagement might be possible, but you have to promise me one thing."

Ivy River nodded.

Madeline Woods glanced at Fatty, "You need to ensure Fatty doesn’t cheat, takes good care of Ann in kindergarten, and they must be in the same school until Ann goes to college, without switching schools."

Fatty exclaimed, "Godmother, don’t you think the word ’cheat’ is a bit premature for a kid like me?"

"You have both love-fool and bad boy genes in you, so I must be cautious!" Madeline Woods stated logically, "If you accidentally inherit any bad genes from your dad, Ann’s life would be ruined!"

Fatty felt speechless and thought he couldn’t reason with women.

He decided not to deal with this matter any further, so he told Ivy River, "Mom, you decide; I’m okay with anything."

Ivy River looked at Ann, "Baby, tell godmother, do you want this childhood engagement? Godmother will listen to you. If you don’t want it, we won’t proceed."

Ann’s face turned crimson.

She didn’t know what to do.

Asking the person involved in this kind of thing, isn’t it awkward?

Madeline Woods objected, "Why are you asking Ann about this? She’s so young. What if she doesn’t like Fatty when she grows up? Don’t torture my daughter!"

Ivy River replied, "You know this puts Ann in a tough spot just as much as it does Fatty!"

Madeline Woods was taken aback.

She stopped speaking.

After thinking, she said, "We can decide for them now, but as they grow up, they don’t need to stick to this childhood engagement. They’re still young..."

Ivy River frowned, "Are you saying my son isn’t good enough? He’s chubby now, but he’ll be popular when he grows up."

"No, I just mean decisions made now might not hold when they grow up."

Madeline Woods explained.

Ivy River, ignoring persuasion, got a bit stubborn.

She turned and asked Fatty and Ann, "Do you really like each other? If so, we’ll settle this childhood engagement now!"

Emmy thought her mom was out of her mind.

She stepped up and patted Ivy River, "Mom, don’t lose your composure... I know you really like Ann, but this isn’t the way to push them into marriage..."

Madeline Woods immediately agreed, "Exactly, they’re still young, so we can’t make them marry right now. Right?"

Ivy River turned and huffed, then continued to ask Ann, "Ann, do you really like Fatty?"

Ann felt her intense gaze.

After pondering, she nodded with a flushed face.

"Oh my, dear lord!" Ivy River happily clapped and turned to Fatty, "You, no nonsense, just say if you like Ann or not."

Fatty blushed at her question.

Who is so direct in asking about feelings like this?

His mom is a bit too bold, isn’t she?

Fatty’s little face reddened, standing in front of Ann, "Mommy, you’re making Ann uncomfortable; she’s just a little girl."

Ivy River waved her hand, "Move aside, don’t block my view."

Ann was a bit shy and said softly, "I..."

Hearing her pause, Fatty’s little heart couldn’t help but hang in suspense.

Ann shyly ran to Madeline Woods, "Mommy, I’ll listen to you."

In an instant.

Three pairs of eyes all turned to Madeline Woods.

Madeline Woods became anxious under their gaze; after thinking, she said, "Alright, but..."

Ivy River interrupted immediately, "No buts! I have a daughter-in-law now!"

Madeline Woods retorted irritably, "It’s just a childhood engagement. Who knows how they’ll be when they grow up? Don’t fantasize unrealistically."

Ivy River picked up Ann and gave her a big kiss, "From now on, you’re godmother’s future daughter-in-law—both a daughter and a daughter-in-law, so close-knit, are you happy?"

Ann just blushed, keeping her head down, silent.

Emmy exclaimed, "Are we going out to play or what? This childhood engagement is taking forever, I want to play!"

Seeing half an hour had passed, and they were still discussing the childhood engagement.

She was really exasperated.

Ivy River, in an excellent mood, coaxed her, "We can play now, let mom hug our most beloved Emmy."

Noticing her younger daughter was upset.

Ivy River hugged her and gave her a kiss, then took Ann’s hand and headed towards the attractions.

Madeline Woods sighed helplessly and turned to Fatty.

"Your mom can be childlike sometimes; I don’t know how she grew up..." Then she changed the subject, "But listen to your godmother, you must protect Ann at school; she’s more fragile."

"Okay, I know, godmother, don’t worry."

Madeline Woods glared at him, "Don’t take your mom’s crazy words to heart. If Ann chooses someone else when she grows up, I’ll support her."

"Alright, let’s go. They’re already queuing up."

Fatty’s mouth curled into a slight smile, even he didn’t notice it.

After that, he participated in all activities.

Accompanying Ann all the way.

Ivy River noticed and on the way home.

She couldn’t help but tease, "Vincent River, after participating in so many activities today, won’t you turn into a fool tonight?"
