Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 568

No one knew what happened to Soren that night. Sieben was a clingy little demon, but he could not do anything to her.

After finally coaxing her to sleep, Soren was physically and mentally exhausted, but he had no desire to sleep.

The next day, Lindsey asked Soren to accompany her to send Dezi to school because of what happened with Arthur the day before. Early in the morning, Lindsey and Mrs. Wendy prepared breakfast for Soren and Sieben.

Yesterday, Sieben slept late, so she was still sleepy-eyed when she woke up. Soren even helped her to get dressed.

Lindsey looked at the two sleepyheads and asked with concern, "What's wrong? You guys didn’t sleep well last night?"

Sieben still looked fine and just yawned, but Soren had huge dark circles under his eyes.

"Mm." Soren nodded. "We watched a movie and slept late."

Next to him, Sieben widened her eyes and wanted to say something, but Soren just stuffed a bun in her mouth and said calmly, "Don’t just drink milk, eat something."

He did not need to say that because even without his reminder, Sieben usually ate a lot.

However, this bun successfully blocked Sieben's mouth. After she finished chewing the bun, she had already forgotten what she was going to say.

Lindsey just thought that these two looked strange, but she did not say anything.

After breakfast, Soren wanted to take Sieben for a checkup today, so the four of them went out together. Soren went down to the parking lot and drove the car out, while Sieben held Dezi’s hand and waited downstairs with Lindsey.

When Soren got out of the parking lot and before he reached them, he saw a familiar-looking young man standing next to Sieben.

Due to the nature of his work, Soren could remember faces easily as long as he had seen them once, and he had a particularly deep impression of this man.

Who else would it be if it was not Chris?

The sound of the car's brakes screeching was a bit harsh and managed to attract the attention of the group. Soren pushed open the car door and stepped down, walking straight to Sieben, but his words were directed to Lindsey, "We can go now."

Lindsey just thought that Soren’s face was a bit glum. She then looked at the handsome young guy who was standing there like a ray of sunshine, and suddenly felt like laughing. Lindsey then got into the car with Dezi.

Sieben could not understand the stink-eye that was passed between the two men. She went forward to take Soren's hand and interlocked her fingers with his.

Her action of holding his hand in front of unsuspecting suitors greatly pleased Soren, so Soren held Sieben's hand tightly and lowered his head as he said softly, "Let's go."

Sieben smiled good-naturedly, then waved her hand at Chris again. "Bye, Chr...Mr. Chris!"

Chris, who was still a 22-year-old college senior, looked dejected. How did he suddenly become Mr. Chris when he was just Chris yesterday? However, looking at the two interlocked hands and Soren's slightly guarded eyes, a trace of gloom crossed Chis' heart, but he still smiled and said, "Bye, Sieben!"

After that, Shaun’s gaze swept over Lindsey as he said, "Now, we’ve already received an offer from an international company to invest in our project, but I still have some doubts about this. What I want for all of you is to think about whether we should continue this project based on all the data presented earlier. We’ll then consider the matter of getting investment."

Shaun asked the directors and company executives to go back to think about this and vote on it at tomorrow's meeting.

Hemera was in a pickle. When Lindsey heard the words "international company", she had a vague feeling in her heart, so she did not leave after the meeting and stayed until everyone left.

It was just as well that Shaun wanted to talk to her about this matter.

"Brother, is Arthur trying to invest in the company?" Lindsey asked Shaun directly. After all, Shaun had also vaguely mentioned it before.

Shaun did not want to hide it from her, so he nodded and said it bluntly, "He approached me several times with a sincere attitude. He also offered to share their technology with us, which is very important for our project." Shaun’s tone was indifferent as he did not want to give Lindsey any pressure.

Lindsey did not know what to say for a while. She could understand how difficult it was for Shaun. He had to manage such a big company and take care of all their stakeholders’ interests, so he could not always act according to his own ideas.

However, Lindsey still could not help but think about Arthur's purpose for doing this. Did Arthur know that she worked here and that Shaun was Dezi's uncle, so he wanted to use this to threaten them?

Her heart was a mess and Lindsey had not sorted it out yet before Shaun said, "I’ve already refused him. I just wanted to ask for your opinion. After all, Dezi’s my nephew, so he comes first."

Lindsey jerked her head up. The warm and kind smile on Shaun's face made Lindsey’s nose tingle and she felt embarrassed.
