After saying that, he looked at Deana and Zara and smiled, "Auntie Deana and Miss Banks, goodbye."
Deana and Zara also politely said goodbye to him, and then they watched Charlie drive away together with Claire.
Seeing Charlie leave, Claire then said to Deana, "Auntie Deana, let's go in."
"Good." Deana smiled faintly and led Claire into the courtyard of the old mansion together.
While the three of them were walking, Deana asked with interest, "Claire, how did you and your husband meet?"
Claire smiled faintly and said truthfully, "My husband and I were introduced by my grandfather."
"Introduced by your grandfather?" Deana was curious and could not help but ask, "Then how did you get together?"
Claire said somewhat awkwardly, "How can I tell you this ...... The two of us actually got married at the request of my grandfather ......"
Zara couldn't help but ask nosily, "Huh? Didn't you guys fall in love together freely?"
Claire bit her lips and said truthfully, "Before we got married, the two of us actually didn't know much about each other ......"
Zara suddenly got a little excited and blurted out, "Isn't that equivalent to an arranged marriage in feudal society?"
Zara's words caused Claire to become more embarrassed all of a sudden.
She stroked the hair between her temples and stammered, "This ...... I don't know if it's considered an arranged marriage ......"
Zara couldn't help but say, "The two of you didn't know each other before you got married, so naturally you didn't have any emotional foundation, and without an emotional foundation while tying the knot at your grandfather's request, isn't this a typical arranged marriage? Just like the literary magnate Mr. Lu Xun back then, he and his original wife, Ms. Zhu An, also had little affection and were married at the request of Mr. Lu Xun's mother."
As she said this, Zara suddenly thought of something and asked out of the blue, "Mr. Lu Xun and Ms. Zhu An never seemed to be married all their lives, so you two wouldn't be the same, would you?!"
Faced with Zara's blunt words, Claire looked even more shoddy and said awkwardly, "I ...... I ...... this ...... this ...... this ......"
Claire's nervousness and shortness of breath suddenly caused a pleased look to float in Zara's eyes.
She felt that she should have guessed correctly, and that was why Claire was acting so unnaturally.
If her guess was indeed correct, then Charlie and her were just a couple in name only.
In that case, wouldn't that mean that he had a better chance?
On the side, Deana also saw some clues from Claire's performance, and she also realised that this was a wonderful situation for her daughter.
However, she was at the same time ashamed of herself for thinking this way, after all, this kind of thing was not honourable and even a bit despicable.
At this moment, Zara hurried forward and took Claire's arm in a self-effacing manner, asking in a low voice, "Claire, how long have you been married to your husband?"
Claire truthfully said, "We have been married for four years."
