The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 216
“What era are we living in now? It’s all about the freedom to fall in love and marry someone we love! How could you arrange my marriage without asking me?” Gwendolyn got up, feeling utterly infuriated.
Marcus was at a loss for words. He tried reaching out to hold her arm, but she evaded his grasp.After withdrawing his hand, he stroked his beard and spoke in a subdued tone. “Honey, we’ve already agreed on the engagement. How about you meet Cedrick first before you decide anything? He’s quite a nice guy, five years older than you, and caring and considerate. Even I, your picky father, approve of him. I’m sure you’ll like him too.”
“Five years older? No way! He’s too old. I don’t like older men!” Gwendolyn was hellbent on her decision.
She was not ready to enter a new relationship, let alone be engaged to someone. Over my dead body!
“What do you mean he’s too old? He’s only twenty-eight years old! Your ex-husband was also five years older than you, wasn’t he?” Marcus said.
Gwendolyn choked. “It’s different! There’s no room for discussion. By hook or by crook, you must call off the engagement!”
Marcus sounded even more sheepish. “I-I can’t cancel it. We just finalized the details yesterday, and I agreed with Old Mr. Jenson to announce your engagement at your welcoming party three days later.”
Gwendolyn took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger. “I don’t care what welcoming party you’re organizing. You can’t call off the engagement, can you? Then I’ll do it myself!”
She slammed the door and walked away.
Watching her storm out in frustration, Marcus could only shake his head helplessly. She’s becoming more and more like her mother in terms of temperament. It’s clear that she needs a man who can handle her!
After leaving the study, Gwendolyn went straight to the garden.
Elven and a few other bodyguards were waiting by the door.
Despite her anger, she acknowledged that her father was ill and needed her company. As a daughter, it was her responsibility to be there for him.
Hence, she called a few bodyguards to get to the hotel and pack her belongings. She decided to move back to the villa temporarily.
Standing at the doorway, she pondered for a while, considering how to handle the engagement matter.
A moment later, she noticed Leif was standing near her.
