Married at First Sight Chapter 2749
That was a given as the Queen couple were looking for a son-in-law instead of a daughter-in-law. Naturally, they would not give those elite daughters hope and made them give up on trying to win them over. Kevin took the elevator to the top floor. As soon as he walked out, he saw Hayden escorting a client to the elevator with a few young women behind them. Based on their clothing, they were probably the client’s secretaries. Neither the client nor Kevin knew each other. Kevin stood aside to avoid getting in Hayden’s way. She saw the client off downstairs personally. Hayden’s secretary glanced at Kevin, who hinted at her with his eyes to follow Hayden and ignore him. He was fine on his own. He could not be more familiar with Hayden’s office and lounge. After the group entered the elevator, he went into her office. He first made himself a cup of coffee. Just as he sat on the sofa, Hayden returned. “So what happened after last night’s incident?” Hayden asked as she wa

“She’s doing great. She’s handling some things now. Don’t underestimate her. She’s been through many ups and downs. Her parents passed away when she was fifteen. Despite having vicious and greedy relatives, she raised and educated her ten-year-old sister well. “Those who have gone through hard times are especially strong-willed.”Kevin finally understood why Audrey had chosen Liberty to compete against Caroline in Jensburg. “It’s a relief that she isn’t too shocked.”Kevin smiled. “Are you getting off work now? Oh, by the way, I brought you a present.”He retrieved a box from his suit pocket and gave it to Hayden. Hayden accepted it, but she did not open the box. Instead, she went to her office table and placed it into the drawer.“Aren’t you going to take a look?”“No. Anything you give is the best. I’ll look at it when I’m free and savor your love for me.”Kevin stared at Hayden. She seemed gentler, and reciprocated his feelings openly. He had succeeded in advancing a s

Hunter glanced at his wife in despair and closed his eyes. He was in immense pain. Belinda was not angry at Hunter for not looking at her. She walked to the windows again and stared outside. Her mind wandered off. If Patrick had been willing to be with her, help her, and marry her back then, her life would have been complete and filled with happiness. Unfortunately, he was only loyal to Tiara. Even if Tiara had gotten married to someone else, had children, and eventually passed away, Patrick would refuse to follow her and choose to disappear instead. Decades had passed, and Belinda was already seventy years old. Patrick was probably dead by now. Why was she still worried?At that moment, Belinda’s phone rang. It was Caroline. Belinda answered the call after a silent pause. “Mom.”Caroline said, “Are you okay, Mom?”She asked about her mother first instead of Hunter’s injury. Belinda said calmly, “It can’t get any worse. What’s there to not be okay about? You all

Caroline turned her gaze away from Hunter and followed Belinda to a small lounge. She placed the lunch box on the table and opened it. She told her mother, “I even brought you some fruits.”Belinda sat and stared at the sandwiches and cut fruits Caroline had brought. After some time, she said, “You’re the only one who’ll actually prepare sandwiches for me.”Her sons and Celine would not have followed her request because they opined that those foods were not worthy of her. “Have the sandwiches while they’re fresh, Mom.”Back when Caroline was still with her abusive adoptive family, she could not even have sandwiches. A sandwich was a luxury for when she was young. Having experienced a tough childhood, Caroline never wasted money once she was an adult and earning money herself. She maintained a low profile and spent money wisely. Her personality, which was shaped by her environment, did not change with her increasing savings. Belinda ate the sandwiches while recalling a scen

Caroline said, “I don’t have one, Mom. I was just asking. But will she be recognized by the family? “She’ll be acknowledged as long as she’s your blood. The Fishers will be with you throughout your pregnancy and birth. Once the child is born, they’ll accept her.”Caroline replied, “If so, why do I have to get married? If I don’t wed, then I won’t have to worry about scumbags getting a share of the family’s assets.”Belinda was speechless. She must be out of her mind. Why was she suddenly talking to Caroline about this?Maybe her husband’s betrayal had ruined her mood and she could not resist nagging her daughter about marriage. Caroline continued, “There might still be flaws even if everything is planned out well. The best solution is to give birth to a daughter without marrying the man. Without getting a marriage license and becoming husband and wife legally, the man won’t be able to take any assets. There won’t even be any shared assets between us from the start.”Belinda s

Belinda raised her head to look at Caroline, and her expression relaxed. She said, “I know you’re good at hiding your true abilities. You have a hint of ruthlessness like me, but you’re still too kind. You have to know that there’s nothing fair in this world. It’s every man for themselves.”Caroline was silent. “You should go back.”Belinda knew Caroline was much stronger than Celine, yet she would not listen to her every time. Caroline had a mind of her own. Belinda feared that everything she had painstakingly gained would return to the hands of Tiara’s lineage. If so, her efforts would have been for naught. Decades of hard work would go to someone else just like that. Even if she were dead, she would be so angry that she would tear her coffin open.Caroline told her mother to take care of her health before leaving the ward. Belinda only withdrew her gaze after Caroline left. Then, she returned to sit by the bed and said, “Carol went back.”Hunter replied, “Okay.”However

“Mom…”“Don’t call me that. I’m not your mom. If I hear you calling me that again, I’ll cut your tongue off too. Your mom is still waiting for you in the countryside.”After speaking, Belinda shut the door again. Tears flowed down Celine’s face, yet she dared not cry out loud anymore. She was the perfect example of someone fallen from grace.Hunter heard Celine’s cries from the bed. Although he felt sorry for her, he stayed quiet. When he heard footsteps approaching, he closed his eyes. He did not look at Belinda as he was scared that she would see the sympathy in his eyes.He knew that he and Celine were done for. Although he was not chased out, his life in the Fisher household would be a living hell. However, he had to tolerate it for the sake of the Clark family. If Hunter wanted his days to get better, his sons had to inherit the head of the family position. Caroline becoming the matriarch would not benefit him at all. He swore to himself that he would help his

“Thanks, but I’m fine,” Duncan said politely. He had stayed in Fortress Hotel before this, albeit seldom. None of the employees remembered him, the young master of the Lewises. Well, even if Zachary was here, they probably could not even recognize the CEO of York Corporation as well. The person in charge of all hotels owned by York Corporation was Kevin. Most employees were familiar with him. Kevin bumped into Duncan while seeing Hayden off as Duncan entered the hotel. “Duncan.”Kevin was somewhat surprised to see him. He had heard from Liberty that Duncan would be coming over. However, Duncan’s arrival was supposed to be around two in the afternoon. Kevin thought he had yet to arrive as Liberty had just returned and had not gone to fetch him from the airport. That was why he was surprised to see Duncan being wheeled into the hotel by his bodyguard. Kevin smiled and went to Duncan, asking, “Here by yourself?”“Yeah. The plane was left in the airport. I rented a car

Austin was extremely patient with the boys. Although they occasionally caused trouble, most of them were minor issues. They would never do something they were not allowed to do.After breakfast, Austin brought them their bags. With a boy in each hand, he left the house. It was to prevent the boys from saying he was playing favorites. Dominic was used to that scene. Initially, Austin was simply Ms. Isabella’s private chef. However, he gradually took on more responsibilities.He would take the two young masters to school. If he had time in the evening, he would also fetch them from school. Austin also made sure Louis and Phillip did their homework, supervised their hobby classes, and played with them. Sometimes, he would even teach them martial arts and train with them. Dominic felt Austin was an all-rounder. It seemed like there was nothing Austin could not do. No wonder Ms. Isabella thought highly of Austin. However, Austin was a young master of a wealthy family. He w

Louis and Phillip were downstairs having the breakfast Austin had prepared for them. The food was different every morning, and everything was delicious.Having gotten used to Austin’s cooking, Louis and Phillip could no longer stand the food provided in the school. They thought the food there was terrible. Louis was enrolled in an elementary school not far from home. As he was a first grader, he did not need to stay in the dormitories and could have his lunch and dinner at home. Phillip, who was a year younger than him, was still in preschool. He would have breakfast and dinner at home. Actually, the preschool did provide breakfast, but Phillip refused to eat in school and insisted on having breakfast at home. In order to eat the breakfast Austin made, he would get up early in the morning without the adults waking him. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he would head to Louis’s place with his bag. “Austin.”Louis suddenly asked, “Did my sister come back last n

Isabella had always thought Tati was teasing her. Therefore, she did not take her words seriously. She thought it was completely normal for Austin to treat her well as she was his boss. From Austin’s perspective, she was his source of income. Now that Isabella pondered about it deeper, she realized perhaps Austin did come to Satbury for her. It was not just to be her chef. He always said Grandma May only gave the York lads a year to pursue their fiancées. However, Austin had never left since he started working for Isabella. Even if he did, it was to accompany her on business trips. He was busy feeding and taking care of her every day and had never gone to pursue his so-called fiancée. He did not even try to gather information on her. Was he not anxious?A year would go by pretty quickly. Although it felt like it had not been long since Austin started working for Isabella, three months had passed. Time really flew. Three months had gone by in the blink of an eye. Neve

When Austin reached the door, he stopped and turned to say, “Ms. Isabella, I only care about my future wife. Other young women are simply strangers to me.“I’m polite to other women when I need to be. If they’re unimportant, I’ll ignore them. Even if that woman is my boss, I won’t cross any lines. If I do, there must be a reason behind it.“Get some rest, Ms. Isabella. You might have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. I’ll prepare a warm honey drink for you in the morning.”After speaking, Austin left. Isabella turned to look at where he last stood. What did his words mean?He said he only cared about his future wife.Aside from this lady, he would not step out of line with any other young woman, even if she were his boss. What did he mean by crossing lines?Was it showing concern? Did he mean that if his boss was a young woman but not his fiancée, he would simply do what was required of him without any personal feelings involved? Was that what he meant?If so, was

Isabella was cold sometimes, but that was not her true personality. She was a reasonable person. Austin was not worried that he would be mistreated as a live-in son-in-law. “Ms. Isabella.”Isabella looked toward him and waited for him to speak. He asked, “This may be abrupt, but may I ask what your ideal type is?”Isabella was stunned. Why did the question come to her? What was the type of man she liked?‘Someone like Austin,’ she thought. After a moment of silence, she said, “I like men who are capable, responsible, and have correct values. Even if his family isn’t as financially well-off as mine, I don’t mind so long as he’s honest, competent, and sincere about his feelings for me.“Of course, it’ll be great if we have the same social status. That way, we’ll have similar perspectives and more common topics. If we get married, we’ll be joining forces instead of it being a one-way financial aid.”“Although you can accept someone who isn’t from a similar family backgrou

After a moment of silence, Isabella said, “It’s okay. I know I was forcing it.”There was no point in asking Austin if he did not want to reveal anything. If he wanted to tell her, he would do so without her asking. However, her curiosity spiked with his silence. She was eager to know who his fiancée was. He was already so protective of his fiancée even though he had not met her before. It made Isabella jealous. It was her first time feeling that kind of emotion throughout her life. Although it was not a strong feeling, she still felt it. “You weren’t forcing me to tell you. You were simply curious. Most people have a curious side. It’s only natural for you to be inquisitive as well.”Austin said gently, “It’s not just you. Those who knew that my nana had chosen fiancées for my brothers and me were also curious about who the ladies were.“To be honest, we didn’t even know Nana had been choosing fiancées for us since a few years ago until she handed their pictures to us

“You can drink it now. It’ll turn cold if left aside for longer.”Isabella took the ginger ale and drank it with elegance. She put it down after drinking half of it. “I’m drunk, but only slightly. I can walk, and my brain is still alert. I know what I’m doing and saying.“I’ve had enough ginger ale.”She did not want to consume too much liquid late at night. “Which family is your fiancée from, Austin? Where is she? Do you mind telling me?”Isabella was insistent on getting answers. Austin had never told her when she had asked him about it before. He kept saying he would focus on working and that he was not in a rush to get married. After all, he was only in his twenties; Zachary only got married at thirty years old. If he was unsuccessful in wooing his fiancée that year, he did not mind waiting for a few more years. Isabella suddenly felt jealous of Austin’s fiancée, having had his heart without even doing anything. She wondered what Austin’s fiancée had done to cat

Austin stared into Isabella’s eyes. He could detect some feelings in her gaze, but it was not obvious enough. What she felt for him was still mostly admiration. It was not the right time for him to confess yet. He would continue to wait. “You’re the best and most outstanding lady in my heart, Ms. Isabella. I admire you more.”Austin added gently, “You give off a strict and cold aura sometimes, but you’re always a nice person in my eyes.”Isabella had treated him well ever since he became her private chef. It only got better after she discovered he was a young master of the Yorks. Austin believed her when she said she viewed him as a friend because her actions reflected it as well. However, he was not content with being just friends. He wanted to be her husband. He wanted her to trust him and love him forever. He would also reciprocate her feelings and trust. Isabella smiled. “Even my parents are scared and avoid me when I’m in a serious mode. Louis and Phillip w

Austin responded, “Don’t worry, Ms. Edith. I’ll take good care of Ms. Isabella.”Edith had come in a hurry and left just as quickly. The hidden meaning in her cousin’s words was not lost on Isabella, but she did not comment on it.She allowed Austin to accompany her into the house. The lights were still on inside, but the first floor was empty. Everyone else had already gone to bed.Since Isabella had not returned yet, the housekeeper had left the lights on for her.The house was warm, so once inside, Isabella took off Austin’s coat and handed it back to him.Austin accepted the coat and followed her to the sofa. After she had sat down, he asked gently, “Ms. Isabella, would you like some ginger ale for a hangover remedy?”Isabella rubbed her temples and said, “Yes, please. I don’t want to wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow.”Austin immediately went to prepare it for her.Isabella leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. After some time, she heard Austin’s
