Standing at the door, Maria couldn't help but look at Anthony with furrowed brows, who was seriously packing clothes and other stuff.

She didn't even know what to say. When Julie called just now, although Maria agreed to go, she didn't actually plan on letting Anthony come with her.

It turned out that it was Anthony who deliberately asked Maria to let him be with her on this trip.

Maria didn't think that it was necessary for Anthony accompany her to visit the Smith family in Broome. After all, it might only be a hassle to him.

Once they arrived there, Anthony would have to sit in his wheelchair and pretend to be disabled in front of the Smiths.

Of course, Anthony had his own reasons why he still needed to play this role.

“Well... Maria finally opened her mouth with the intention to persuade Anthony not to go.

As if he knew what Maria would say, he suddenly cut her off and said, “Pack up your medicines and work computer, and have them delivered to Broome. You don't need to take too much clothes either. In case you ran out, you can just buy new ones in the shops there. By the way, I have a villa in Broome, and I haven't lived there for a long time. I'll have someone clean it thoroughly before we arrive. You may not be comfortable staying in the Smith family’s mansion, so I'm thinking of living in our own house while we are in Broome.”

After saying that, Anthony turned to Maria. The look in his eyes seemed to ask if she had any problem with his arrangement.

Maria at least managed to reply, “Okay. But..." Seeing Maria's hesitation, Anthony spoke again.

"I know that you're very busy these days. So, in order to ensure your progress even while we're on a trip, you don't have to cook for us in Broome. After the villa is cleaned, I will arrange a professional housekeeper that will hande all necessary house chores. That way, you can only focus on your work and visiting Mr. Smith."

Apprently, everything was already taken care of, and Anthony did that in just a very short time.

Julie called just now. But right after the phone call, this guy had already arranged everything.

Now, Maria didn't know if she could still say anything that would convince Anthony not to go.

In the end, she could just say, “I'm just an adopted daughter of the Jenkins family. There's a possibility that they may not even acknowledge me and let me in. Then, you.

Anthony let out a faint smile.

“If the Smith family doesn't acknowledge you, then it's their loss, not mine or yours. But if they do, then I can call Mr. Smith Grandpa, just as my future wife does.”

The words “future wife" made Maria blush. Of course, she knew that Anthony only said that because they were currently engaged.

But apart from being a little nervous, she actually felt very satisfied to hear this from Anthony.

"Is there any problem? Did I say something wrong?" Anthony asked, seeing that Maria's expression suddenly changed.
