My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 56

“I DON’T HAVE much time to set up a meeting with Del’fierro’s, Dad. I have more important things to prioritize than that.” His voice was cold and arrogant.

I heard his baritone laugh at what Lawrence said.

“What is more important than visiting your fiancée, then?” Samuel asked his son authoritatively.

The fuck! I immediately lowered the cutlery I was holding. My heart soared hearing those lines coming from his father. That’s when I knew I was waiting for it in favor of me. One more thing, did I hear it, right? Is she still his fiancée? I thought the marriage was canceled?

“Dad, do not bring this up on the table.” His tone was laced with anger.

His father gently wiped his mouth with a tissue and raised an eyebrow at him afterward.

“And what do you want to talk about, then?” He quickly glanced at me with a smile that I could not name.

I seemed to have realized the heaviness of their conversation. I swallowed and quickly bowed. It’s like I just want to stand up and leave this place.

But my vulnerable body doesn’t let me move an inch. I also feel like the blade of his word has cut my heart.

I did not hear the old Saavedra speak, so I looked up at him again. His eyes were holding a disapproval gleam as he was staring hard at me.

I took a deep breath and bowed again. Damn! Was I even breathing? Why do I feel like he is killing me with his stares?

“Then I will talk to the Del’fierro myself!”

I did not hear Lawrence answer, who was continuing to eat.

“I want you to come to my office after that. We have some things to talk about,” he said to his son before standing on his throne and walking out of the dining room.

Samuel has been gone for a few minutes, but still, nothing breaks the silence between the two of us. I don’t know how to act normally after what happened in front of the dinner. Although Samuel Saavedra did not say it directly, I am sure he still prefers Elliesse for his son.

I was stunned when Lawrence grabbed my hand from the table. I slowly glanced at him with a smile on my face.

“I’m sorry about my father’s behavior,” Lawrence muttered closely, his jaw flexed and his eyes bore onto mine intensely.

I swallowed first before answering. “It’s okay, I understand. Go to your dad first. I’m okay here,” I answered in a low voice before a few avoided looking.

I know what I said was against him, but I still do not want to be the cause of their disagreement.

He let out a deep sigh before I could feel his grip on my hand.

“I’ll be back in a minute.” He gave me a drop of the lip before leaving. I did not move the food in front of me again and just waited patiently for his return.

But it was only a few minutes later when I overheard the two arguing. My heart startled me from my seat as I heard the angry voice of Lawrence. I also immediately stood up because of the shock.

My chest throbbed even more as Lawrence appeared in front of me. I watched his dark eyes and how intense they are looking at me.

“Let’s get out of here.” He clung to the baritone voice.

Before I could speak, he held my hand tightly. My heart is nearly beating out of my chest because of his tight fist around my wrist.

“Lawrence, we’re not done talking yet!” The loud voice of his father echoed in the house.

I couldn’t even look at him anymore because of Lawrence’s haste to get out.
