Chapter 24
” Mr. Donald?” When he didn’t respond, I sat closer and slowly continued, “I’ve completed your request. Can we chat about the photos for a moment?”
” Mr. Donald?” Just as I was about to approach him again,
He abruptly shut the document and shoved me between him and the sofa. “What do you want to do to me, sitting thus close?”
“I, I, I….”
In front of me, his attractive face is amplified. I’ll be stunned for about a minute and a half. This, these face traits are very stunning!
No, I’m not sure where I’m heading this time!
However, his kiss is going to fall.
The only reason remaining popped out at me. “Mr. Donald!” I pulled him aside for a split second.
I opened a few feet away from him. “I want to have a pleasant chat with you!” I remarked calmly, straightening my clothes.
Donald’s pov
“I heard you had to meet two conditions to inherit your family?” I sat back, a little depressed, my legs naturally overlapping and making a bargaining position, when she quenched the fire.
“How do you know that?” She gave me a scowl.
“I’m also acquainted with one of them.” “You must marry and have children within the validity of your will?” I said leisurely.
Her face flushed with embarrassment.
“Don’t you believe you have a good candidate in front of you?” I drew her back.
Trista gave me a look. “Mr. Donald, you can’t be serious! Who didn’t know you were the CEO of the lion group!”
“What’s the point?”
“You just got through.” “Or do you not want to be responsible for me?” I asked, as almost all of her thoughts were written on her face.
“This isn’t irresponsible!” Trista gave me a serious look. “If you’re kidding, Mr. Donald, that’s it. Stop!”
She then stood up and prepared to leave. “Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and you’ll know whether you’re kidding,” I said, grabbing her wrist.
“Why?” she inquired, perplexed.
“Because you’re unique.”
She gave a cruel smile “I lost my grandparents and mother, I lost emos, my family turned against one other, my will vanished, and I was involved in multiple accidents. I’m truly one-of-a-kind…. Unusual misfortune!”
“Say something idiotic.” I flicked her brow. “How are you able to say that about yourself?”
“Don’t you think I’ve seen everything incredible? Including right now “She glanced at me with her eyes lifted.
“Can’t you forget about him?” I was irritated because I sensed hesitancy in her eyes.
“No, I don’t love him anymore,” Trista said, shaking her head.
“Then why don’t you accept me?” I gazed into her eyes, not wanting to miss any emotion within.
She looked me in the eyes and said, word for word, “You’re fantastic. In any case, you are far superior to average people.”
Yes, of course!
Of course, I am aware that I am superior to ordinary folks!
Although I heard much of these words at ordinary times, I feel much better today when I hear them from this woman.
“I can’t promise anything just because you’re so good.”
My excellent mood was abruptly shattered, “reason.”
Are you worried about too many warblers around me? Worried about me cheating like an emo?
“You don’t have to worry about it if it’s the reason for cheating.” I put my hands on her shoulders and said, word for word, “I’m a stickler for detail. I’m not going to let go of it until I’ve identified it..”
“No,” she said, lowering her gaze. “Sorry, but we all need some time to chill. Isn’t Mr. Donald concerned that his decision was made hastily?”
“Hasty?” In the fishing village, I harbored a hidden crush on her. I didn’t admit it until now. Where exactly is it rash? I made the decision after serious consideration, not on the spur of the moment.
“It’s careless and informal. Marriage is not a game for children. Although I urgently need someone to marry and have children with me, I hope it is with the person I adore. Grandpa prepared such a will because he wants me to be happy for the rest of my life.”
“Do you believe I can’t make you happy?” I looked her in the eyes and calmly stated, “Trista, I’m the one person on the planet who can bring you the most joy. Don’t you think so?”
“I….”
“Don’t worry. When you come out of the shadow of the past, tell me that my decision will not change.” I don’t want to put pressure on her to make a decision right now. After all, she has just been through a lot and requires some time to adjust.
“In terms of bright pearl, I have an entire jewelry design and production staff. They are quite skilled in this area. If you need it, I can ask them to assist you in studying it.” She did, indeed, raise her head in disbelief.
Trista’s point of view
OK? Can they truly assist me?
The procedure of creating a dazzling pearl is really complicated. I have tried abroad for three years without any clue. Is it true that they have a plan?
But
I turned to contemplate, “Grandpa obviously does not want people to be aware of the ancestral jewelry design and production technology. He prepared such a will merely to hope that I will be able to do something, apply what I have learnt, and explore it on my own…. If it is with the assistance of others, I doubt he will be pleased.”
“You can’t study it in 50 years, let alone five years, on your own, without modern equipment and experience.”
“How do you know the will’s term….”
“In this world, there is nothing I don’t know. Remember that three years have passed, and you don’t have much time left.”
I can’t stop myself from remaining silent.
Yes, we only have two years left. I can’t study it without tools and raw ingredients, no matter how hard I try!
“Alternatively, you might come to work here and observe how they normally design and create jewelry. Perhaps it will help you to broaden your horizons. After work, you can study in the R&D department’s laboratory. What do you think?”
I couldn’t believe my eyes. I did some research. “Why are you assisting me?”
“What’s the harm in assisting my wife?”
wife???
“I never agreed to marry you!”
He gave a slight smile. “You don’t have to give me an answer right now. Go back and reconsider. Please let me know when you’ve figured it out.”
“But….”
“You don’t want your grandfather’s lifelong efforts to be taken advantage of by others, do you?” He seemed to recognize my vulnerability and have a sudden hold on the area I was most concerned about.
Yes, I was taken aback! How can I abandon Grandpa’s efforts? Even if I don’t fight the world, I can’t stand by and let my grandfather’s efforts be squandered in the hands of Fanny and Ashley!
But don’t i owe Donald more for his assistance?Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Just as I was about to give up, a voice from the front said, “here you are, young master.”
I clearly felt the car come to a halt. “Where is this?” I wondered as I gazed out the window.
