Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride

Under normal circumstances, finding a wife for her uncle wouldn’t be her business, but given their special relationship and Daxton Lancaster’s sudden question, Violet Zimmerman inexplicably felt guilty and didn’t dare look him in the eye.

"How would I know."

"Do you think your cousin and Joseph are a good match?"

Daxton asked nonchalantly, but after he finished, it was Aria Williams who felt guilty.

Her niece’s looks... she didn’t want to comment, but if she stood next to her daughter, it would be a world of difference.

The Lancaster Family not only has a good family background, but the men are also exceptionally good-looking.

"Let’s just forget about it then, pretend I never mentioned it." Aria backed down. She wasn’t stupid and caught the implication in her son-in-law’s words.

"Hmph!"

Lucy Zimmerman, who had been full of anticipation, was immediately displeased, releasing Aria’s arm and sulking on the sofa.

Aria felt a bit embarrassed by her niece’s lack of tact.

Although she was a senior, since her daughter got married, Daxton had hooked them up with several big business deals. They say you can’t be ungrateful when receiving favors, and her daughter marrying into the family was already reaching high. Now her niece was throwing a tantrum in front of her son-in-law. It was awkward, and she couldn’t really lecture her, especially since she wasn’t her own daughter and her son-in-law was there.

Violet Zimmerman never had much affection for her cousin. Before she got married, every time she came over, she’d rummage through her cabinets, pocketing things she fancied without a care if others minded. She didn’t like such inconsiderate relatives.

Moreover, now she’d have to be her sister-in-law!

But because of her relationship with her uncle, it wasn’t easy to express her own thoughts.

Daxton Lancaster glanced over, a trace of mockery in his eyes, but still gave his mother-in-law some face.

"I’ll ask Joseph about it later."

As soon as Daxton said that, Lucy Zimmerman immediately brightened up, leaning over Aria excitedly and saying, "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

"This child, doesn’t she have a bit of modesty?"

Aria frowned and scolded lightly. She could see her son-in-law’s perfunctory attitude. Initially, she thought the two sisters being sisters-in-law might be advantageous, but now... doing less is better than doing more!

Such a child, who can’t read the room, if she did marry in, might bring trouble to her daughter.

"Auntie, I’m a woman of the new era. The TV says women of the new era need to act like it!" Lucy Zimmerman muttered to herself.

Aria frowned disapprovingly again. Daxton Lancaster was already pulling Violet Zimmerman up, "Come on, let’s go have breakfast at Grandpa’s."

"Brother-in-law, you’re not eating at home? Just now I was wondering why your servants are so lazy. It’s already so late, and they still haven’t made breakfast. My stomach’s growling with hunger!"

Lucy Zimmerman spoke in a familiar way, showing ignorance and fearlessness, speaking without much thought.

Daxton Lancaster glanced at her again, a faint smile saying it all.

The contempt from her son-in-law was clear, and Aria discreetly nudged Lucy, who then loudly blurted again.

"Auntie, why are you poking me? I didn’t say anything wrong!"

"Don’t make fun of her, Daxton. She’s her third uncle’s only child, and they’ve spoiled her."

Aria explained awkwardly, while Violet Zimmerman scowled at her cousin disapprovingly.

Daxton Lancaster glanced at Lucy Zimmerman again, saying with a half-smile, "No problem, Lucy is quite adorable."

"See, even brother-in-law understands me. I say you all are so fake, pretending when we’re all family!"

As she spoke, Lucy Zimmerman familiarly linked arms with Daxton on his other side.
