The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 44

Right at that moment, the doorbell rang.

Cordelia got up to answer it and was a bit taken aback when she saw who was at the door. But she quickly regained her composure and greeted with a smile, “Richard, you’re here? Come on in.”

Since they were discussing the marriage between the two families, the presence of an elder was necessary. Percival alone wasn’t enough.

Richard was a bit older and was expected to arrive at noon, but he showed up before nine.

Upon seeing Richard, Dorian immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Richard, have a seat.”

Although he was reluctant about Vivienne marrying Percival, Richard was a respected elder and deserved respect.

Vivienne also greeted, “Hi, Mr. Richard!”

At the same time, Percival, Leopold, and Thomas also greeted Dorian and the others, “Mr. Dorian, Ms. Cordelia, howdy.”

They nodded to Vivienne as a courteous greeting.

Everyone sat down after exchanging greetings.

Cordelia went to get some coffee. Their family wasn’t wealthy and couldn’t afford the good stuff on a regular basis. Dorian was the main coffee drinker. Now that they had guests, it wouldn’t be appropriate to serve this grade of coffee.
