His Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1272

"I won't! Unless you promise me you won't leave me, otherwise I'll stay down here until you do!"

Isaias didn't know what to do. Tanner had already walked over. He gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.

Tanner stretched out his hand to pull Lauren. Because it was the first time that they met, Lauren couldn't fuss about it anymore so she had to get up, albeit still crying.

"I'm pretty sure you can work this out instead of hurting each other like this." Tanner patted Isaias on the shoulder lightly.

Isaias frowned and sighed long. "Mr. Bradshaw, I'm sorry that you have to see this. I think I'll be leaving."

"Nonsense, that is. There's no way I'm letting you go without being treated to my banquet, right? Come on, go in with me."

"I got some of the finest tea there in the house, why won't you have a cup and then decide?"

Unable to reject, Isaias followed Tanner into the house. Lauren also smiled through tears and followed him in.

Valentino's face softened a little when he saw the three of them coming in, and he glared at Lauren.

It was not appropriate for Raquel to reprimand her daughter outside, so she could only apologize superficially to Tanner.

Throughout the whole process, Aleigha was like an outsider watching the show being staged by the whole Hammond family.

The banquet began.

The seating arrangements had also been specially instructed. Because it was a round table, none of the guests were sitting too close to Tanner.

Coincidental enough, Emilee sat right at Isaias's right.

A burst of refreshing fragrance wafted into Isaias's nose from time to time, making his mind wander, and the previous unpleasant feelings completely floated out of the sky.

Although Lauren was not satisfied with such arrangement, she didn't dare to say a word. She didn't eat much at a meal.

During this period, Emilee went to the bathroom and went back to her room to change. Isaias also made an excuse to leave.

He didn't see her in the bathroom. When he was about to go back, he saw her come out in a cheongsam.

The cheongsam was white with colorful embroidery on it. The cheongsam didn't look old-fashioned at all on Emilee but rather greatly set off the curve of her body.

With just one glance, Isaias's mind seemed to have wondered off.

Emilee nodded to him and returned to her seat.

At the sight of Emilee, Lauren's eyes were burning with anger again. She couldn't wait to rush up and tear off Emilee's cheongsam.

Isaias came in after a while. The banquet went on without any bustle.

After the banquet, Tanner took the Valentinos to his study after sending off the other guests.

As the aroma of the tea filled the air, Isaias was caught deep in it. His mind was filled with Emilee's graceful figure and gentle smile.

He couldn't help drinking a few more cups of tea.

Lauren was not in the mood to enjoy the tea at all. She found an excuse and went out.

Aleigha and Emilee sat in the living room, talking and laughing. As soon as they saw her coming, they instantly stopped talking.

"What are you talking about?" Lauren was feeling rather somber and felt like everyone was trying to mock her.

Seeing that they suddenly stopped talking, she asked curiously.

"I didn't expect you'd be out here. Why don't you taste the tea my brother prepared for you?"

Emilee got up and said with a smile.

Lauren looked at her with anger burning in her heart. Tea? How could she sit in there, sipping tea from a cup, when the man he loved was almost snatched away by some other woman?

"Were you talking about me?" Lauren asked coldly, with a gloomy look in her eyes.

Aleigha narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth. "Why do you ask? Is there anything you wouldn't want us to be talking about?"

Lauren's face instantly twisted. She thought, "Does Aleigha know something? Why does it sound like there's something else behind her words?"

"Nonsense, I didn't do anything!"

"Aunt and uncle, I think it's necessary for me to confess to you. Lauren and I are indeed not suitable for each other."

"As you can see today, she doesn't care about my feelings at all."

Isaias was driving the car, staring into the distance, saying finally what had been welled up in his mind for so long.

With a scream, Lauren burst out crying again, giving everyone in the car goosebumps.

Raquel's face darkened and slapped Lauren in the face, and said exasperatedly, "What else can you do except for crying like a miserable useless pig?" "To whom are you pulling that long face, ah? You are a woman now, I'd think you wouldn't need me to tell you to respect your man at all times, especially when there are outsiders around!'

"Now, you'd better stop that disgusting whimper and apologize to Isaias!"

"Forget it. You don't have to apologize to me. I will go back to Fripdence tomorrow. I'll make it clear with my parents."

Isaias didn't want to talk too much with either Raquel or Lauren to save himself the hassle.

"Isaias, I know that you've been putting up with her for too long. And I'm not blind, am I? I can see how reluctant you are to be with her anymore. So I won't force you."

Valentino, with a face full of pity, sighed and looked out of the window.

Seeing this, Raquel shut her mouth and didn't say anything. Lauren was not reconciled to this and glared at her mother, but was pressed down by her fierce eyes.

When they arrived at the gate of the Hammond house, Isaias pulled over and drove off in his own car, not talking to Lauren for once during the whole process.

As soon as he left, Valentino's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"if it weren't for his father, there's no way a brat like him could be with my daughter."

"V, should we send the letter out?"

Valentino nodded and said, "Send it away. I've been fed up with the condescending look in their eyes for all these years!"

Lauren, who was listening at the side, was secretly anxious. She knew everything about her parents.

Of course, she knew that they were going to make their move on the Fulton family. She was thinking about Isaias, but she couldn't do anything. She couldn't do anything to betray her parents.
