Understanding the meaning behind his words, Jarold quickly replied, "Yes, yes, that's right. It's a pity that it didn't succeed back then. Sigh, it's really something regrettable in my life as long as I live." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Monica.
"But it doesn't matter. Although our children are not married, it's also fine and magnificent if our grandchildren can wed each other." Titan kept nodding his head, and the two old men laughed out loud.
Monica looked at Titan's eyes and spoke weakly, "Grandpa..." Titan's fox-like, cunning eyes fell on Maddox. He smiled enigmatically and stated, "Sebastian is not young anymore, and he is only a few years older than Monica. If you two can..." Maddox, who had not spoken since he took his seat, finally lifted his head. He looked up slightly, revealing his pair of dark eyes.
His lips had been tightly pursed constantly from the beginning. His eyes were filled with endless darkness, and no one could see his emotions and thoughts clearly.
When the two were in the middle of their conversation, he suddenly parted his thin lips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Since the marriage didn't succeed back then, it could just mean that the two families didn't have fate." His words stunned the other three people on the spot. They looked at Maddox in surprise.
Monica was originally very delicate. She had always hoped that Maddox would spare sglances at her. After all, she had put on effort to dress up beautifully that day. However, he had never glanced at her.
When he finally raised his head, Monica straightened her back even more. However, who would have thought that in the next second, the words that cout of his mouth would be like a wet blanket thrown on her, causing her to feel a bone-chilling coldness.
"What, what did you say?" Titan narrowed his eyes and sized Maddox up.
Jarold was also caught off guard. He had thought that in front of Titan, this grandson of his, would not reject his proposal. Who would have thought that he would actually...
"The times are no longer the sas our parents' in the past. I understand that you older generations prefer arranged marriages, but Master Dormer's granddaughter and I are both millennials who believe in the freedom to choose one's partner. I think she already has someone in mind, and I also have certain standards in seeking a partner." Maddox's words were neither servile nor overbearing, making it hard for anyone to refute him.
Monica suddenly stood up from her seat. She stared at Maddox with wide eyes. In disbelief, she said. "Seb, you..." Titan narrowed his eyes and looked at him unhappily. "Are you looking down on Monica?" "No, how could you say that?" Jarold wanted to smooth things over. "Monica is such a good girl." However, Maddox said lightly, "It'swho doesn't deserve Monica." As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at his watch and continued, "Grandpa, Master Dormer, I have to hold an important video conference at nine o'clock. I'll be excusing myself first." After that, he stood up from his seat, nodded to them, and then turned to leave.
"Seb!" Monica held the hem of her dress in panic and tried to catch up with him, but she was stopped by Titan when she passed by him. "Stop right there." "Stop right there! You little brat!" At the stime, Jarold also stood up and shouted at Maddox's back.
Maddox paused and turned around to remind him, "Grandpa, that meeting is very important." Jarold was enraged. "What's so important? No matter how important it is, it's not as important as your marriage. Is it more important than your grandfather? Do you know that you're having your meal? Do you even know what's respecting others?" "Grandpa, I have been sitting with you for half an hour. If you think that I don't respect you, then just consider it asleaving in advance." "You d*mn brat, hurry up and cback, or else..." Or else, he would be angered to death. However, Maddox had left without even looking back. Such a reaction showed it extremely clear that he would not accept this engagement arranged by his elders. This also meant that he was indeed not interested in Monica.
"Seb!" In the blink of an eye, Maddox was gone. Monica quickly tried to catch up with him, but she was again stopped by Titan.
"You are not allowed to go after him. The children of the Dormer family must have dignity. Since he doesn't like you, then just forget about this marriage!" "Grandfather!" Monica's eyes instantly turned red. She shook her head with all her might. "I don't want to just let it go like this. Seb is merely a bit cold and aloof. As long as you givestime, he will definitely show interest in me!" "Don't deceive yourself!" Titan snorted and swung his hand. "Didn't you have enough twhen you went over to him every day when he was injured? Why didn't he pay you any attention?" Monica was immediately speechless.
"But his character has always been the same. If you givesmore time, grandpa..." "Stop talking!" Titan shook off her hand and was so angry that he glared at her. "You are the precious princess of the Dormer family. You should be the one choosing your partner, not them giving you the cold shoulder." "But Grandpa..." "Titan..." For something like this to happen that day, Jarold was deeply apologetic. He walked forward and said apologetically, "I didn't communicate with you beforehand, I..." "Enough, Jarold, you don't have to say anything. I don't want to listen anymore!" Jarold was helpless, "But..." "Any words coming out of your mouth is an insult to my granddaughter! Monica was brought up bywith caring love, but now she's rejected by your grandson in front of both of us. How humiliating it is to her?" "Yes, indeed, it's my fault."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, they had been old friends for many years. Jarold could only nod and apologize. "Let's do it this way. I'll apologize on behalf of Sebastian for today's incident. I'll talk about him when we return. As for the engagement..." "Forget it. Unless he comes to propose in person, otherwise..."
Titan snorted coldly and continued, "Monica is such a fine lady. There are so many men queueing up to have her hand. There is no need for her to be looked down here." Jarold went silent again.
While on the other side.
After Maddox left the hotel, he headed straight for the garage. However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance, a figure rushed to him.
Maddox quickly dodged to the side. The figure staggered forward and almost fell to the ground.
"F*ck, I cspecially to inform you, but you are so conscienceless!" Geoffrey finally managed to steady himself and turned back to glare at Maddox.
Maddox pursed his lips, kept the car keys, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" Geoffrey gritted his teeth and retorted, "I'm here just to break snews to you. I'm not afraid of breaking into the venue, so I waited for you here." Upon hearing this, Maddox frowned. "What news?" Thinking of what he was going to say, Geoffrey felt a little guilty and coughed softly. "Well do
you want to go to that assistant of yours? I called her today, but she didn't answer my calls thought she knew that you cto discuss the engagement, so... I made a slip of the tongue and she now knows about it." "What did you say?"
