My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 101: What Else Is There For You 

"I'm afraid that you don’t get a say in the matter."

Her father's words kept ringing in Reese's mind, as she looked at him in silence.The shock had rendered her speechless.

"I've already found a good man for you.You've met him before.Gavin Ameblo.I've had the pleasure to work with him for many years.He is an upstanding member of society and he owns two factories out of town.He is a widower, you know.He has lived alone since his wife passed.And you seem to have made an impression on him when he met you.He has been asking after you ever since.He called me as soon as he heard about your divorce to ask me for your hand."

Reese's heart sank.Gavin Ameblo! She remembered the man.

And he was most definitely cut from the same cloth as Flynn.

And on top of that, he was a few years over fifty, short and stout.

He and his wife had worked hard to build their fortune, but then Gavin got into gambling.

Rumors were constantly flying around about his extramarital affairs.

In fact, word on the street was that his wife had caught him red-handed, which set her on a rage, causing the heart attack that cost the woman her life.

His son and daughter had cut off any contact with him since.

"Reese..."

"Absolutely not, Father!"

Her interruption stunned Ruben momentarily, giving her the opportunity to add, "Gavin Ameblo is definitely not husband material.You must have heard of his...indiscretions."

Ruben was silent for a minute.

Then, he seemed to make up his mind.

"Gavin promised me that if you agree to marry him, he will treat you like a queen.He will not fall back on his errant ways."

"And what exactly are you getting out of this?"

Ruben seemed unfazed by his daughter's accusing tone.

"Let's just say he is willing to part with almost two million dollars in exchange for your hand.Plus, he will be buying me a brand-new BMW.You see, Reese? He is a good man, and generous too.I am sure you will be happy with him."
