Free Web NovelChapter 2567: Chapter 40: Really Gone
"Hmm, it’s just an engagement, a small affair. Look, even your older brother is the same; he hasn’t come back yet and will probably only show up at the last minute."
Abraham Redington said indifferently, his tone cold and voice low.
As he spoke, his azure almond-shaped eyes seemed to casually glance over at the lowered and emotionless face of Molly Wellington.
His narrow almond-shaped eyes emitted a chilling light.
Lily Redington’s beautiful peach blossom eyes fell, as she gave her son a hard glare.
Could he not restrain his sharp tongue in front of Molly?
Bringing up such a topic is clearly implying that Ben Lucas doesn’t value this engagement.
Lily Redington said with mild anger: "Your big brother is not like you. He’s in the military department, busy with work and can’t find the time. You know very well your brother is a workaholic, strict with his subordinates, and even stricter with himself."
Saying this, Lily hurriedly looked at the girl who just kept her head down, silently eating breakfast.
"Molly, don’t listen to Andrew’s nonsense. He just has a bad mouth. Your Brother Charlie is just very busy with his duties, but he takes this marriage very seriously, don’t worry... He definitely won’t wait till the last minute to come back."
Although Lily said this, she was well aware that given her son’s icy nature, coming back the day before was already quite good.
She feared that Jordan Lancaster would cut it close, showing up right at the engagement banquet.
Or perhaps, he’d simply send a subordinate on his behalf and not appear at all.
After all, this wouldn’t be the first time; besides her, Ben doesn’t care for anyone else.
She recalled the last time they celebrated Emily Taylor’s birthday; Ben sent a subordinate with a gift, claiming military affairs kept him occupied.
As the Lucas family’s first-born, he hadn’t even shown his face.
With these thoughts, Lily didn’t bother telling her youngest son to stay. She felt it necessary to visit Jordan Lancaster’s garrison herself, determined to bring her eldest son back this time.
...
After breakfast, Molly Wellington got up to leave under the pretense of going to school.
Lily quickly called after her: "Molly, hold on. Andrew... you’ve almost finished eating, take Molly to school."
Even though they had a driver, it was better if her son personally took her.
Last time, Yana mentioned that many boys at the school secretly liked Molly.
With Ben not around, Andrew naturally had to take the Future Sister-in-law to school to show some presence.
At the very least, it should be clear to everyone at school that the Lucas family highly values Molly as their future daughter-in-law, and no one else should try to compete with them.
"Mother, I’m heading to the airport after breakfast." Abraham’s somewhat cold voice interrupted, carrying a reluctantly annoyed tone.
Lily: "So soon? Abraham, can’t you..." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Can’t." Abraham cut her off sternly, showing no hesitation.
He raised his brows, his chilly blue eyes giving a fleeting glance at Molly Wellington, who had just stood up from the table across.
In contrast to Lily’s surprised intervention, Molly’s face appeared overly calm.
Seeing this, the man’s blue eyes squinted slightly, his thin lips spilling out cold words: "European affairs are busy. I came back this time just to handle business in Eastonia. Once that’s settled, I naturally need to hurry back."
With that said, the man stood up, even quicker than Molly, and left with large strides.
Lily: "..."
*
Abraham left just like that, without hesitation.
Molly bid farewell to Lily, her expression normal as she got into the driver’s car to go to school.
