Win Her Back

Chapter 741 Long-cherished Wish

The corners of Leo's mouth twitched violently. He looked at his grandfather blankly and blinked his eyes, somewhat baffled. How could he say something like that all of a sudden?

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Are you tired or confused? Have you misheard?"

"Clap!" Another sound of stick fell on Leo, and Edmund glared at him. Why did he have such an unfilial grandson who just wanted to piss him off?

"Don't you know whether I am stupid or you are stupid?"

Leo bore the stick silently. At the same time, he was confused who was spreading the rumor, and most importantly, he had a big grudge against the gossip object.

"Unfilial!" Edmund's temples throbbed, but it was not appropriate to discipline his own child in the current situation, so he could only endure it and roared in a low voice.

Hester, who was dancing with the initiator, saw this scene with a slight glance. She raised her eyebrows, glanced at Derek and rolled her eyes in her heart.

"You can easily start a war. You can also be considered a talent!"

"I'm flattered." A smile flashed across his elegant face. Derek didn't feel ashamed at all when he heard this.

Following Hester's gaze, he saw the quarreling master and grandson in the corner.

"Basically, Leo always loses at this time,"

Derek said these words mercilessly, without feeling guilty at all. In his eyes, it was just a normal thing.

"Huh!"

Hester rested her head on his shoulder and chuckled. She thought the relationship between her cousin and Derek was really funny.

"What do you think? How do you feel when you see her and her fiance show their love here?"

Melody walked slowly to Terence, shaking the red wine in her hand. A hint of darkness flashed through her eyes, but with jealousy.

That woman was so lucky to have such a noble grandfather! But in this case, she should have to change her plan!

Otherwise, she would lose more.

Glancing coldly at the complacent Melody, Terence was in a worse mood. He raised his head and drank up the red wine in his hand. The sour taste lingered on the tip of his tongue, making him very uncomfortable.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Melody. But it has nothing to do with you! Please keep a distance from me in the future. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I can't control myself and do something terrible!"

Melody smiled indifferently and covered her eyes. She tightened her grip on the goblet, with her fingertips turning green, revealing her suppressed emotions.

"Mr. Terence, you must be kidding. No matter how bad our Si Group is, it has not been reduced to the point of being kneaded casually!"

Although she liked Terence, she was not going to lose her mind. The idea of profit was deeply engraved in her bones and she couldn't give up.

If Qi Group and Si Group were to meet in a business war one day, she would definitely kill them all.

For her, if she couldn't get it, it would be good to destroy it.

"I forgot that Miss Melody is the general manager of Si Group after all. Even if you have stayed in the sanatorium for three years, there will be no change!"

Terence raised his lips and looked at Melody in front of him. She looked horrible.

"You said that we two are the same kind of people, so we know each other very well. I can figure out your plans clearly!"

The two sat quietly in the corner, which was very incompatible with the noisy surroundings.

The most important thing of the dinner had been announced, and the rest was the battlefield for business. Hester looked displeased and didn't bother to deal with those flatterers. She stood beside Derek and yawned lazily.

"I'm sorry. My fiancee is a little tired. If you don't have anything important, please excuse us."

Although Derek was usually cold, he did show his good manners today. He always wore a smile from beginning to end, and his attitude was distant but comfortable.

"I'm sorry!"

Derek kept apologizing to the people around him. Holding Hester's arm, he slowly walked out of the encirclement and finally sat in a rest area.

Hester sat on the sofa leisurely and took off her shoes secretly because her dress was long enough. She leaned against the sofa and sighed.

"You are very unusual today!"

"You look gorgeous today!" said Derek in a low voice, raising his eyebrows. His thick and long eyelashes covered his eyes, casting a faint shadow at the corners of his eyes.

Her fingertips stroked the back of Hester's hand. It was itchy, but it had nothing to do with ambiguity. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

It was not because she was sentimental, but because this person was really abnormal today! Trembling her lips, Hester said coldly, "Are you a kid?"

Such a childish tongue was really making her speechless.

She withdrew her hand in silence. In public, Hester really didn't have the courage to accept the gazes of "love" from the ladies.

"It seems that you get along well with each other!"

Edmund, who had won the argument with Leo, nodded with satisfaction at Hester with a red face. His long-cherished wish finally came true today.

Hester raised her head to tuck the short hair around her ear, her eyes drooping slightly. She was not dissatisfied with the marriage between. She just felt that it was a little unfair to her.

"Grandpa, why did you announce this news today? Why didn't I know anything about it?"

Back then, Mrs. Qi had arranged a marriage for her in silence, and now the same scene happened.

"If you don't want to, we will cancel the marriage." Edmund was slightly stunned and then said indifferently. Anyway, he had already canceled once, and it didn't matter if he would do it again.

"Your mother was engaged to the Yu family before, but after what happened later, she had to cancel the engagement unilaterally.

Because of this, I always feel guilty to their family. Now that you are back, I want to make up for you. I always want to give you the best thing.

But after thinking about it for a while, I found that I could give you very little, so I wanted to make a good marriage for you. As for Derek, I have known everything about him since he was a child. Only he is the one I trust most."

Hester nodded to show that she knew it, but she couldn't overcome the barrier in her heart. "I understand!"
