I was stunned, hot exporting Geraldin mention Racquel
What did he mean by this? Weren’t we just discussing the possibility of my manage a moment apo? Now that he brought up Racquelle, could be actually want me to marry her, a person who was completeh rotten to the cour
Over the years. Tanquelle had countless men append her. She would grafter whoev
set her eyes in withent
- created me like her bodyguard, sending me to deal with anyone she couldn’t shake off, which made me plenty of enemies.
Iwould never even spare a glance at the likes of Racqoelle, who had been spoiled and t stedbeyindirpale. Everything the dif dispested me. How could I ever fall for someone like her?
To put it Huntly, even if every woman in the world were gone, 1 still would’t give her a second look!
Duque is a good sister.”
to emphasize the word “sister“, hoping it would cried him of my relationship with Racquello,
Gerald caught on my intention. He chuckled and wired his hand dismissively, shaking his head as if it didn’t matter.
“You’re not my biological son, so people won’t have anything to say about it besides, if you marry Jacquelle, we will truly be a family,”
1 did not anticipate just how resolute Gerald was about this idea. He came right out with it, openly proposing that I marry Raquelle
ΠΕ
- he was being so dired, I had no choice but to reject him outright. “Dad, I’m sorry, but I have no intention of doing that.”
“Him““” Gerald’seguessin face momentarily at my response. “You don’t like Racquelle
I shook my head. “I’ve always thought of Barquelle as my sister. Plus, I’m your son. It won’t look good if I become your son–in–law.”
Gerald–casually shook his head. “That’s alright. I don’t care what others think. Besides, quite a few people know you’re my adopted son
I smiled and replied. “But I don’t want to.”
I would always go along with it. To me, his words were like royal decrees.
This was the first time had openly defied Gerald Before, no matter what he said, I w
However, I simply couldn’t comply with this one matter. The reason agreed to stay here was only to save my sister
As for aquelle, had never thought highly of her, and she would never agree to marry me either.
Gerald didn’t press further. Instead, he shook his head and sighed heavily
“When I was younger, I focused solely on making money, working hard to build my own business. I neglected how my child might feel, thinking only of giving her money and buying her
“But I forgot she was still a child who needed to grow up in a loving viroment.” He shook his head and smiled self–deprecatingly. “By the time I came to my senses, she was already grown and had a mind of her own ”
The disappointment and regret in Gerald’s eyes weren’t faked Years of spoiling and neglect were the reasons behind Racquelle’s behavior. Now, Racquelle’s arrogance, self–importance, and domineering nature were just parts of her personality
We simply weren’t cut from the same cloth, and there was no need to force us to be together.
Halfway through has speech, Gerald looked at me seriously and uld pleadingly, “Josh, I’m very satisfied with you. If you marry Hacquelle, the Smith Group will belong to you in the future. *I believe that once she has chilchen with you, Racquelle will arm to care for her family and become a good woman. If she dares throw a fit at you, just come to me. I’ll make sure to keep her
in line
If Gerald could say something like that, it was either because he didn’t fully understand his daughter of thought he could easily convince me. Her chance of becoming a good woman was about as likely as Mars crashing into Earth
Although was grateful to Gerald, I was not a blind follower. So, I shook my head and declined once more. “Dad, I’m really sorry, but I absolutely cannot agree to this”
