Chapter 687 “Yes, that is correct! According to what I’ve heard, they will meet the groom’s family and discuss the engagement. Sir, are you related to him?”
“No.” The man kept his composure and gave a quick smile, but as soon as he walked away, his face looked gloomy..
How could she not tell him she was going to get engaged?
Arthur pulled out his phone and called Sophia’s number right away.
Sophia was in the car that Christopher was driving. When she heard her phone rang, she pulled it out and checked it. Once she saw who was calling, she immediately ended the call.
“Why didn’t you answer?” Christopher asked out of curiosity.
“It’s nothing important.”
At the hospital lobby, the man couldn’t believe that she had just hung up on him. When he thought about that, he gripped the phone even tighter.“Find out where Drake’s daughter’s. engagement is,” Arthur ordered his bodyguard behind him.
The bodyguard contacted the executive at Goodwin Corporation, who put him in touch with Drake’s driver. The driver gave them the address and room number of the restaurant.
Arthur then entered the car and calmly said, “Drive to the restaurant.”
Christopher’s car slowly pulled into the restaurant’s parking lot during this time. When Sophia got out of the vehicle, he suddenly hugged her. This startled Sophia, so she avoided and told him, “Don’t do this. We do not want anyone to see us.”
“What’s the problem? After this meal, you will be my wife anyway.” He wanted to move in with Sophia so badly right now.
Even though they were going to get married in future, she still resisted him deeply.
“Fine! At the very least, we should hold hands!” Christopher ignored her refusal and forced to take her hand.
Sophia had no choice but to follow him inside the restaurant while holding her hand.
At the restaurant, Drake and his wife were chatting with the York couple. Since they were both businessmen, this was something that they had in common. Their conversation led to the Goodwin Corporation incident when a hostile acquisition left Drake with no one to turn to when it happened.
Drake and his wife looked at each other in silence. Because of how things were, they had no other choice as they no longer had any pride left to ask for more.
“But we also hope you can give something as your part of the wedding gift,” Margaret said out of the blue. When Emma heard this, she quickly added, “We’ll absolutely prepare our side of the wedding gift too.”
“In that case, let’s just get right to it. Drake, we are interested in your land. So, we’re wondering whether you may make it as your gift for the wedding.”
Drake and his wife exchanged yet another glance. Our land?! However, this land is valued at 50 million dollars on the
market. It wasn’t that the couple didn’t want to give the land as a wedding gift; instead, it was their only remaining possession.
Sophia was shocked to hear this and she looked at the York Family. They want a piece of land as a wedding gift?!
“Mr. Drake, we’ll build a house on that piece of land. We’ll bring you two over to stay with us by then.” Christopher said. He thought that his family deserved to benefit financially from this marriage.
