Lovely Baby Came to Me

Chapter 70 Refusing the Matchmaking

Patriarch Lawson had always admired Hector. He would worry no more about his granddaughter and

the Lawson Group if Reeva married Hector. It was a nice opportunity today, therefore Patriarch Lawson

made the proposal.

Eloise hesitated upon hearing that. She knew that Patriarch Lawson wanted to marry Reeva to Hector

because nobody could refuse such an excellent young man.

Rupert pouted, and he seemed unhappy. He had had a bad feeling about tonight because of his

brother's presence.

Hector was also slightly startled. He didn't expect that Patriarch Lawson would be so straight forward.

He looked at Eloise and words came out of his thin lips. "Miss Lawson is an excellent young woman."

"Yes, your grandfather wanted our two families to be connected by your marriage when he was alive...

but he passed away so early. We can realize his last wish as well as make us more powerful.”

Reeva was standing beside them and did not say anything. She looked at Hector shily, her heart filled

with expectations and thrill.

Hector's eyes were shimmering. He bit his lips and said, "It's very kind of you to say that... but Miss

Lawson deserves better. I'm such an insensitive person and I'm afraid I'll ruin her life."

Reeva's face changed when she heard that.

The proposal had been rejected.

Reeva couldn't help showing depression in her eyes. She wondered if Hector had no feelings for her at

all.

Patriarch Lawson had also read the indication behind the words. His facial expression froze. Then he

put on a smile and continued, "There's no better choice than you in this city... Fine, there will be ample

time."

Being rejected by a young man made Patriarch Lawson feel a little uncomfortable, and Reeva's said

face made him angry. Hector really didn't know what was good for him. In Patriarch Lawson's eyes,

Reeva was flowless.

Hector didn't reply, which made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Eloise stood aside. Although Hector had refused the marriage with Reeva, she still felt quite suffocated.

Her grandpa was indicating that Reeva was as excellent as Hector. There was no woman better than

her in the city. The two would sooner or later be together.

Eloise didn't reveal any of her emotions. She acted as if she didn't care about it at all.

Just by then, Rupert said, "I'm as good as my brother! Why didn't you praise me?"

His words totally saved everyone from the embarrassing situation. Patriarch Lawson was amused.

"That's correct! You're a nice young man, too! It's time for you to find a girlfriend. Do you need my

recommendation?"

When Rupert heard that, his face changed. Then he grinned an awkward smile and said, "No...

thanks... I'm not that desperate."

He looked at Patriarch Lawson and recalled what the old man just said. Then he said to himself,

‘Reeva will never have the chance no matter how many times they meet, because Hector's wife is

already standing here!’

...

They chatted for a while, and then Patriarch Lawson left to greet the other guests.

Eloise made an excuse and went into the bathroom. She stood in the mirror with her eyes looking

down, feeling so depressed.

If Hector really married Reeva someday, their wedding would definitely very grand!

Eloise couldn't imagine when that day came.

God knows how long it had taken for her to walk out of the bathroom.

Hector was leaning on the wall at the door with an unlit cigarette in his hand. He was lowering, thinking

about something,

Eloise was surprised because she didn't expect to see him here.

"Hector... why are you here?"

"You guess," Hector answered, his eyes checking Eloise from head to toe.

She looked so gorgeous tonight, so he had to watch out for him in case somebody else took her away.

Eloise thought she knew the answer. She was sure the man was here to smoke. There was no way This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

that he was waiting for her.

The atmosphere was getting a bit awkward between the two. Eloise didn't know why but she opened

her mouth and asked, "Why did you refuse Patriarch Lawson's proposal for Reeva marrying you?'

She had already regretted before she finished speaking.

She didn't really have to ask that question because it was none of her business. She didn't even dare

to look at him now because he might have understood her.

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Hector's mouth as he heard what she said.

"What do you think?"

Eloise frowned slightly. Hector said it was because he might ruin Reeva's life, but nobody would believe

in that.

"Miss Lawson is talented and beautiful. She had a very powerful background. Her grandpa was right,

you two would make a great couple and make your families even more powerful. Don't you want that?

Don't you like that?"

If she was a man, Eloise felt that she would definitely fell in love with Reeva. The woman and Hector

had known each other since they were kids. There was no way that he had no feelings for her.

"No, I have no feelings for her," Hector answered firmly and decisively. He looked at Eloise and

hesitated for a while, then he said in a low voice, "I don't need to make my company powerful by using

a woman."

The Rogers Group would still powerful even without the Lawson Group.

"Then which woman you like...?"

Eloise felt so stupid. The words slipped out of her mouth as soon as they showed in her mind. She had

regreted it before she finished speaking. So she explained in a hurry, "I was just being curious... no, I'm

not... it's just..."

Eloise was stammering. She didn't know how to explain why she had to ask that question, which

sounded as if she cared for him.

Hector looked at the woman standing before her. He smiled and was about to tell her what he liked,

but...
