Chapter 76 The Strange Girl in the Villa
Chapter 76 The Strange Girl in the Villa
Stefan kissed Emmeline's lips slowly.
He seized her hands that were gripping on the bedspread and held tightly.
Stefan said he only wanted to have her for once and he meant it.
Although this one-time joy made Emmeline so exhausted.
She could not remember that Stefan asked her to give him a massage either. Once it was over, Emmeline fell into a deep sleep.
"Well, I finally got back from France. But boss just chucked us over here, gazing at each other speechlessly. Since when I became so invisible to him?"
They had yet not had a few words on the business they were trying to discuss. To their surprise, Stefan went to stay with his little Mrs. Stefan instead.
Arthur could not help complaining while sitting in the downstairs lobby and waiting for Stefan to come back and continue the discussion.
At the beginning, Stefan claimed to marry Anayah who belonged to Frank.
As Stefan's great buddies, they were against this idea and did not want Stefan to sacrifice his lifelong happiness because of hatred.
But thank god, the Campbells didn't send the vulgar Anayah. Instead, they sent this gorgeous cutie who bewitched Stefan.
For this time, Stefan, who had been misogynous for years, had fallen into it.
Hearing Arthur' complaints, Jaiden raised his eyebrows and said, "It would be utterly weird if Stefan remembered you while having a sugar baby like little Mrs. Stefan. So, I suggest you go back to France earlier. Find a lovely lady and forget about Stefan."
Among the three buddies, Arthur was the closest one to Stefan.
Mainly because he was the calmest one among them.
Stefan used to take care of him when they were both little, so he tended to cling to Stefan.
They all knew that neither Arthur nor Stefan fancied women.
Because at that time, a girl broke his heart so badly and he was not able to get over it. And for Stefan, surrounded by hatred for so many years, he simply would not waste his time on women.
Both of them used to hate women and they had a deep understanding between each other for many years. People might think something was going on between them.
Hearing Jaiden saying this, Arthur glanced at him, looking rather upset, "You think Stefan is the kind of people who only think about women like you? Have you ever calculated how many women you've slept with? Be careful. Watch out for STD."
"How come you got so mean now? Curse me like this? You are just like Stefan." Hearing Arthur vented his anger on him, Jaiden didn't want to rebut since he did have slept with countless women.
Jaiden looked back. He saw Asher sitting next to him not saying anything and said, "Asher, did you hear what Arthur said? Are you gonna watch me got bullied by him?"
Asher glimpsed at him, "Men like you will never get bullied. Arthur was just telling the truth. You have lost count of the women you slept with and now you're saying it's awkward to talk about it?"
They had been friends for so long and everyone knew that Jaiden was truly a playboy!
Asher said it bluntly, ignoring Jaiden's asking for help.
He turned around and looked at Arthur with a poker face.
And slowly he went, "Arthur is right. You should take precautions. Do not mention us if you ever caught STD."
"You guys…" Jaiden was ridiculed by the buddies and felt so morose.
He sulked for a while and came up with an idea.
Jaiden smirked at Arthur and said, "Oh Arthur! I heard the child betrothal which was arranged by your grandfather will turn into reality recently? Which one of you will have to suffer this?"
Generations of the Roberts joined the army. Both Arthur and Asher were solider-like. The Roberts did not interfere with their careers, but for their marriages, they had to obey the family.
Both the Roberts brothers were respectable and reputable, leaving nothing for Jaiden to satirize.
Their only weak spot was probably the child betrothal which was arranged by their grandfather five years ago.
In fact, it was arranged for Arthur Roberts. But the girl died in a car accident in the UK few months after the engagement.
Arthur thought everyone would just forget about it since he never liked arranged marriages. He had to obey his grandfather and he thought this marriage would be gone with the girl's death.
To his surprise, he had to marry the younger sister from the same family in order to fulfill grandfather's promise.
He was so annoyed whenever he thought of this and went back to X City.
Jaiden sneered, "Mr. Roberts always keeps his promises. So, which one of you will marry that younger sister?"
Hearing what Jaiden said, both Arthur and Asher looked sullen suddenly.
The Roberts brothers frowned and pulled a long face.
Asher breathed with relief and said malignantly, "Grandfather has decided to ask Arthur to marry the Jones' girl. That is why she has gone to France! Lucky you Arthur…"
Arthur was drinking tea in a bad mood.
Hearing what Asher just said, he slapped the teacup on the table, and said gloomily, "You can ask grandfather to marry the Jones' girl to you if you feel so regretful."
Like hell he would want to marry this strange woman. His grandfather and Mr. Jones insisted on sending the girl to France and placing her inside his villa.
He did not kick her out simply because he did not want to make grandfather angry. Otherwise, he never had to hide away from her and come back here from so far away.
Arthur's bad temper simply would not scare Asher.
Realizing Arthur was not happy, Asher said on purpose, "I really thought of begging grandfather to marry the girl to me. But grandfather never breaks his words and he promised Mr. Jones to make the Jones' girl as Lady Roberts. So just deal with it."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
