Sebastian was so shocked that his hands were trembling slightly.
Raphael, beside him, teased, "Sir, your fiancée is so beautiful. It's our first time meeting her!"
Sebastian quickly adjusted himself, swallowed hard, and tried to stay calm. "I'm Sebastian. And you are?"
Andrea glanced at Raphael and Bruno before fixing her eyes on Sebastian.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she took in his handsome face.
Clearly the pictures she had seen online didn't prepare her for his good looks.
She gazed at the man in front of her in a black suit,healthy complexion with a face that was cold and handsome with clear angles.He had short, dark, lush hair,sexy lips under a high nose.
She nodded, almost certain that her plan would succeed. A perfect man like him couldn't possibly be interested in someone without power or influence like her.
"I'm Andrea Aguero. I'm your fiancée."
Sebastian grimaced. "Where's your proof?"
The low,magnetic voice entered Andrea's ears,making her feel like a feather was gently scratching in her heart.
So,she fished out a diamond pendant from her bag.
"This is the diamond pendant of your family,a token given by your grandfather when he made the promise of marriage back then."
Sebastian advanced slowly and walked towards the girl,taking hold of the diamond pendant and half squinting his eyes.
He immediately recognized that the diamond pendant was from his family.
He had sent it a few times at his grandfather's place,the whole diamond pendant,the carving and the color,it was the best of the best in diamond.
There was also the initials of the family surname on it specially carved by his grandfather.
Sebastian smiled,slightly.
He didn't expect that this piece of his grandfather's precious diamond was given out as a token to this little woman.
Andrea swallowed and looked up to Sebastian,then she asked."Mr Munoz? Will you marry me?"
She was still waiting for the man's rejection.
Bruno held back his laughter and secretly glanced at his boss.
But to his surprise,his boss looks quite excited.
Sebastian met the woman's clear and bright eyes,his heartbeat quickened for a few seconds,then he spoke without revealing his true feelings.
"What if I'm not interested?"
Andrea couldn't help but feel happy inside, but she maintained a calm demeanor as she said, "Though, this is my grandmother's intention, but if you are unwilling, I won't force you to marry me. I'll return the pendant to you, and the marriage contract will be null and void."
Her words were polite and well-spoken, a successful execution of her plan. However, suddenly, Sebastian moved closer to her, a small smile on his lips.
"But... My family is extremely heavy on integrity. Since my grandfather already made this deal, it'll be disrespectful for me to refuse, and my refusal would make it appear that my family does not keep to their word."
This statement immediately put Andrea on high alert, her brows furrowing as she asked, "So you..."
"So--Let's get married," Sebastian dropped a bombshell in a soft tone.
He then took a few steps forward, almost closing the distance between himself and Andrea,He asked."What are you requirement for a wedding?"
Raphael and Bruno felt as if they weee going to die of shock today.
Not only was he standing so close to the young lady,he appeared to be anxious to get married already?
He had rejected women of all shapes and sizes.He had met beauty of all kinds but he never accepted any of them.Even people had started to spread rumors that he was gay.
What was so special about this girl?
The two men just couldn't figure it out.
Andrea was even more stunned, her eyes wide open as she stood motionless.
How could this happen? It was completely different from the plan!
She immediately tried to compose herself, even considering using self-deprecation to make the man in front of her give up this crazy idea. "Sir, I..."
But Sebastian just gently smiled, interrupting her, "Forget it. We can slowly prepare for the wedding. Let's go handle the paperwork first. Did you bring your documents?"
Andrea wanted to shake her head, but as if under some spell, she subconsciously nodded.
She did bring them, thinking that since it was a performance, she should play her part well.
Who would have thought that this man was a madman?!
Sebastian was all smiles as he took hold of her hand.
"Good.Let's head out now."
Andrea was totally speechless.This wasn’t how she pictured this going at all.She didn’t even imagine that he would agree.To clear her conscience as to regards to the promise she made to her grandma,she had only wanted to come here and inform him about their engagement.She felt that he would instantly refuse but then her grandmother won’t blame her too much for not marrying this man.At least she had try to reason with him but suddenly, he agreed.Now what was she supposed to do?She never took this engagement seriously.She didn’t want to marry someone she barely knew.She was still lost in her thoughts wondering what to do.How could she escape this marriage union without upsetting this powerful man and also the spirit of her grandmother?Sebastian on the other hand was very thrilled about this union.He said to Bruno.“Go bring the car to the front door.”Bruno and Raphael’s shocked mouths couldn’t close.What was going on?They knew very well about how Sebastian had sworn never to g
Andrea looked at the man with a smile on his face.Was he so happy to be married to her?Why?They barely knew each other.Sighing, she turned around and went to get a few of her necessities.Ten minutes later,Andrea dragged a small suitcase over and glanced at Sebastian.”We can go now.”Sebastian thoughtfully looked at the tiny suitcase in her hands and smiled,gently.He reached out for the suitcase.“Give it to me.”“It’s not heavy.”“I can’t let my woman carry anything.”He said, softly.Andrea tried not to blush but it was fruitless.Just what was this man doing to her and it was just the first day.*************It was getting a bit late when they arrived at Sebastian’s mansion.The entire architectural design for king-style and elegant.She stared at the garden and marveled at how beautiful it was.The Ferrari slowly drove into the villa and stopped at the entrance.A middle-aged man in a suit came forward to open the door.He spoke,respectfully.”Young master.””Sebastian get out of
His Grandmother still didn’t believe him.She felt that he was trying to deceive her so she would arrange any more blind dates for him.“If you want me to believe that you suddenly got married.Bring her to her.”Sebastian rubbed his temple.”I’ll bring her to you when I’m free,Grandma.”After saying that, he ended the call and continued the work at hard.Grand Violeta stared at the phone in her hand.Was her Grandson really trying to deceive her?Was he being honest?How could that old man arrange a marriage for him without telling her?If she had known about it, she wouldn’t have been so worked up about finding Sebastian a wife.**********After Sebastian finished handling things, it was already past eleven o’clock.Returning to the bedroom,he saw the little lady sleeping on his bed,holding the quilt to her chest.He slowly advanced towards her and then took in her sleeping form.She looked so beautiful in her sleep.Sebastian took off the jacket on his body,then went to the bathroom t
Bruno walked into Sebastian’s office with what he had requested for.“Sir, this is the young lady’s information that I could find.”Sebastian took the iPad from him and read through.“Is this all you could find?It’s just too basic.”Bruno sighed.”I tried to find more but it was as if all information about her had been intentionally erased.”Sebastian looked at him expression and continued to stare at the photo of the girl on the iPad screen.He just couldn’t get over how beautiful his wife was.“Sebastian,we all know how prompt and thorough Bruno is about finding information of a person.It doesn’t feel right that he found nothing on this girl,you have to be careful.”Luca Diaz said.Sebastian eyed him and snapped.”You talk too much.There’s nothing wrong with my wife!”But he knew there was more to that wife of his.How did she save him six year ago?Luca sighed.”I’m just looking out for you.”“Looking out for me?Are you trying to say that my wife is a dangerous person?”Sebastian asked,
Andrea stared at the clothes in the hands of the attendant and then she ordered.“Wrap them up.There’s no need to try them on.”Then she pointed to another set of clothes in another style.“And that set too.Wrap them up for my friend.”The attendant nodded.”Okay.”It was rare to meet such a quick and straightforward customer.She didn’t even need to try every one of the outfit at all.“I’ll take that dress.”A voice came from behind them.Andrea looked behind her to see a girl dressed fashionably and wearing exquisite make up.She was walking towards her.The attendant smiled awkwardly.“Sorry, this dress has already been taken by this lady.But we have others that you’d like.”On the side, there were other dresses on limited editions,with only one of each style made in each size.Camila had already seen them,there was nothing special about the other styles, she didn’t like them at all.This style of dress was what she had seen on the website and she had come here today just for this dre
Andrea’s head tilted up,slightly,her eyes gazing at the man,and she whispered.“I’m not quite used to it.”Though she kinda liked being held by him but it made her feel so nervous.Sebastian rubbed her chin against her hair, his voice was gentle.“It’s okay.You’ll get used to it soon,Andrea.”How could she argue with that?Especially when he calls her name like that.“Andrea,we’re married and we’ll be together forever.I believe it’s time we start getting used to each other.”Sebastian’s thin lips skimmed over her ear,Andrea felt a warm breath tickling her ear.Why was this man so soft with her?She had heard so many rumors about him not liking women.Feeling her heart racing again,she shrunk her neck and decided to change the topic.“Sebastian, I have some work I have to take care of at home later,I’d like to get a study room for myself,is that okay?”Sebastian sighed,feeling like she didn’t need to ask him permission for these kind of things.“Andrea,everything I have belongs to you n
Andrea put her bag down and leisurely took a seat on the sofa.“Were you afraid that I wouldn’t show up,Rod?”She asked.Eugene smiled.”Yes.He was also afraid that you wouldn’t be able to find your way here.He was worried for quite a while.”Andrea picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.”You really do not have to worry all the time,Rod.”Rodgers smiled with his face full of folds,then he asked with a serious face.”Andrea,can you really not consider another department?”Rodgers wanted her to lecture in the medical department, he hadn’t expected that she would choose the architecture department.He felt she was wasting her good medical skills.Andrea shook her head and spoke,lightly.”No, I’m very busy.”Rodgers frowned.How busy was she?He didn’t want to pester her too much.It was a great privilege to even have her in this university.“Fine, fine.As you wish.You can lecture here for as long as you want.”Rodgers took a sip of the tea and shook his head with a smile.Andrea gl
It felt very strange to see Sebastian like this.Bruno was also quite surprised as he watched his boss.He felt that Sebastian was enjoying being married already.Sebastian finally put down his cellphone in his hand,he raised his eyes and swept a glance at the people around.He quickly thought of what to do.”I approve the proposal.Have it on my desk by tomorrow morning.”When he finished, he glanced at his wrist watch.“It’s almost closing time.You all are dismissed.”Sebastian stood up and walked out of the conference room.They all looked at each other in greeter surprise.Sebastian wasn’t one to let a meeting end so soon.When did the boss become so considerate?“Bruno,is this meeting really over for today?”Someone asked with a confused face.Bruno shrugged and wasn’t sure what was going on.Obviously the meeting wasn’t over so why did the boss dismiss everyone?“I don’t know.”After saying that,he immediately followed him out as well.“Sir,this meeting is over yet.You didn’t go over

Ortiz shook his leg, looked at a large tree in the distance, and responded carelessly, "I don’t have any money for that.”It has already costing him a lot to go sightseeing with her.The man felt something heavy in his hand and, looking down,he was stunned.Holy shit,it was actually a piece of gold!"Is this enough?" The girl asked.When Ortiz saw this, he quickly pulled her sleeve and walked to a large tree, asking with a serious expression, "Where did this come from?"Did she not say she was from a remote place?How did she get this piece of gold?"These were given to me by my grandpa and uncle in the past, don't worry, they're not stolen."Ortiz froze for a moment, were all the people in the mountains so wealthy now?He couldn’t take this from her.He looked at the heavy gold in his hand, turned his head to the side, and very reluctantly gave it back to April again.“Since it's for you, hurry up and put it away, don't lose it." He was a man, he couldn't afford to be greedy.April g
It had been a few days since she had followed Elias here, and she hadn't even been out of the house.Elias was busy every day,she could hardly see him around , and was not allow her to leave.Even to go anywhere, she needed a card of some kind to get out, and where could she have that?!April expressed her distress, in this place, it really wasn't like the Ancient Clan, it was hard to sneak around!Once Ortiz heard this, he thoughtfully sized up the little girl in front of him again, he was secretly pleased.So she did not want his money as compensation.This was great.It just so happened that he wasn't familiar with the place, so he could take a free tour guide."No problem, get up, don't delay the tour." Ortiz stood up, waved at her, and walked directly forward.Hearing this,Mona immediately stood up, smiling as she followed behind Ortiz while rubbing her buttocks."Okay, okay, let's hurry.”She didn’t want to get caught.Thus, the two soon arrived at the Villa gates.Ortiz had a s
The next couple of days,Andrea was treating Mona.Although that 'Flower of Life' had awakened her, it was also extremely helpful with her recovering.However, due to Mona’s long slumber, her bodily functions were not yet able to recover quickly.However, it was good to know that Rigel had taken good care of her over the years.Every day since she was in a coma,she had a regular limbs massage, turn over for her, plus the treatment of other drugs.Therefore, Mona’s muscle atrophy is not serious.So, Andrea went to chat with her mother every day, and told her roughly what had happened recently.And she continued to give acupuncture for Mona every day, and even told Ortiz to specially send the latest developed special drugs from the research institute.At the moment,Ortiz was carrying a special small box with an excited heart, and with a surprised face, he was led by the maid to the house where Andrea was staying.He looked left and right and couldn't help but sigh.Andrea was just awesom
Seeing his father in this state,Elias let out a light laugh, and then, together with Rigel,hr rushed over towards Mona’s place.Not a moment too soon,the two of them then arrived at the door of Mona’s room.Suddenly, however,Rigel stopped in his tracks.He looked at the door to the room, his heart was tense with anticipation, and both of his hands were unconsciously clenched together.Seeing his father stop in his tracks,Elias asked suspiciously, "Father, what's wrong with you?Why are we stopping?”Rigel calmed down, and then, very carefully, straightened out his clothes again.He glanced at Elias beside him and asked with a serious expression, "Elias, have I aged a lot?Would your mother be shocked to see me like this now?"Twenty year has passed.He wasn't the same young lad he once was, he was much older, even gray hairs were coming out.Would his Mona be shocked when she woke up and saw him like this?Elias saw his father reveal this rare appearance of nervousness and helplessness,
The wind at night was comfortably cool.After dinner,Rigel and Elias went to the office as they still had some work matters to attend to.Andrea and Sebastian also didn't return to their own place, but went to Mona’s place again.After a day's observation,Andrea realized that Mona’s body had reacted greatly compared to the previous days, so she decided to go back at night to check the situation.The two of them walked into Mona’s room hand in hand, and they happened to bump into two maid, who had finished massaging Mona’s limbs."Ma’am!" The maid saw the two walk in and rose to greet them respectfully.Andrea nodded and asked, "Is there anything going on with my mother in the meantime?"The maid shook her head, “Ma’am, she's still the same as before, there's no other special signs.""Okay, I got it, you guys can leave now."After Andrea finished speaking, she then walked over to Mona’s bedside and observed.Then, taking the woman's hand from under the covers, his fingers probed her pu
"Be careful, if you fall into the water,you'll have to swim back to the Ancient Clan." The man then walked over as well, looking lazy and cozy as he leaned against the railing not far away and snickered.April gave him a blank look and continued to enjoy the scenery."Hey, I'll make sure to pull you on before I fall off then."Elias picked up the cell phone in his pocket and looked at the message on it, and couldn't help but let out a light laugh.He didn't say anything else either, and then, as if remembering something interesting that had happened, his thoughts drifted away.The sea breeze was gentle and the night sky is filled with stars.It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when they arrived at San Juan.Elias, because he didn't feel comfortable with April being so far from home,he brought her back to the house and personally arranged a place for her to stay.Andrea and Sebastian then went back to the house where they were staying.Since it was already late when the
On the ancient ship, the breeze was gentle.The three of them shook their heads and laughed softly as they looked at the lush and beautiful scenery around them, as well as the wide and crystal clear water.Elias sighed as he saw this, "When we first came in to the Ancient Clan, we spent so much time weaving in and out of the streams and breaking into the jungle, but we didn't realize that it was actually another piece of heaven and earth, worthy of being an Ancient Clan for years."Sebastian wrapped his arm around Andrea slender waist and swept his eyes around with acalm demeanor.Suddenly, there was still quite an admiration for this maternal grandfather of his, managing the Ancient Clan like this was indeed some skill.The man looked at his wristwatch again, and when he saw that it was still very early, he raised an eyebrow towards Elias.“Brother-in-law, it will take some more time to get to San Juan, so take your time and enjoy the scenery first, while Andrea and I go in and rest
"Wife, in fact, my body is really not as weak as you think, wait for some days and you will know." The man gently caressed the woman's long hair and said meaningfully.If he wasn't worried that the toxins in his body hadn't been completely cleared, he really wanted to let this woman know whether his body was good or not, so as to save her from misunderstanding.Reina realized that this man was thinking wrong again, and silently sighed, somewhat speechless.The woman looked down at Fernando, smiled faintly, and snickered, "Well, I know, and logically, after the antidote has been taken for three days, the toxins can basically be expelled from the body as well."“I can see that you are indeed in quite a good condition now, so why don't you go back to the guest house and recuperate for a few days."When Fernando heard this, he was instantly displeased.It was so hard to find his wife, and the previous misunderstanding had been cleared up, so what else would he go back to the guest house f
