Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage

Joanna pulled Lilian away from Sebastian in quite a subtle way. Those words of Joanna told everybody else that she was Sebastian's real girlfriend, and explained why the two showed up at the same time. Now everybody thought that Lilian was invited because Sebastian wanted her in his company.

Eleanor didn't want Sebastian to make their marriage public. She was thinking about how to stop her son. Joanna's words really impressed her. Sebastian had always said that he wanted to boom Joanna's popularity, so she was always with him. Joanna was invited to the birthday celebration every year except for this one; she was here without an invitation today.

Douglas didn't like what Joanna just said. He frowned slightly and wanted to say something, only to be interrupted by Eleanor who was standing behind her.

Lilian forgot Joanna was here, too. She understood what the woman was trying to say. The woman said they would be working together, but what was a lie. Joanna didn't want their marriage to go public, and that was all. Lilian looked at Sebastian. The man had to make a choice now, his secret wife or his mistress.

Seeing how aggressive Joanna was, Sebastian frowned. He was silent, and from that silence, Lilian saw hesitation. She thought Sebastian didn't want to break up with his mistress.

Lilian grinned a self-mocking smile and moved her eyes away from him. For a moment just now, she actually had expectations for Sebastian. Then she realized that she would be a fool to do that.

However, the next moment, Sebastian walked towards and pulled Lilian to him. He seemed to have had a long consideration. He looked at Joanna with decisive eyes. Then he bit his lips and said, "I'm sorry, Joanna... it's just..."

Everyone was holding their breath and waiting for what was coming next. It was at that moment that a clear man's voice interrupted the silence. "I'm sorry for being late!"

He caught all the eyes in the hall. The proud and vigorous man walked calmly into the hall in a tuxedo. He had shone this already bright and luxurious place.

"It's Archibald Hawkins!" Somebody exclaimed.
