Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 14

A week ago, the media had already sensed that Zac's [少爷]'s engagement ceremony was going to be held. Of course, the media couldn't let go of such big news. Early in the morning, all the major media gathered in the Greg hotel.

The engagement party was arranged by Mr. Barton. The Greg hotel was the second largest hotel in Wilson city. He had thought of the largest hotel Caspar Manor, but he didn't expect that the manager refused. Mr. Barton didn't go deep into it, and the Greg hotel was quite good.

Of course, Charlie's engagement couldn't be neglected. Leah had been taken to the Rong family early. After greeting Mr. Barton, she was invited to the dressing room. This time, it was Jacob who was doing the makeup for her.

Jacob didn't say much today. He was quietly putting on makeup, but his gloomy face betrayed his emotions.

An hour had passed, but Jacob was still wearing a long face. Leah couldn't stand it anymore. "Jacob, what's wrong with you today? It's my engagement day. Look at your expression."

Hearing this, Jacob pursed his lips and said, "I'm dressing up the woman I like who is going to be engaged to someone else. I only care about this woman, but this woman doesn't care about me."

Leah couldn't help laughing. She looked at the handsome man who was 1.78 meter next to her and said helplessly, "So you like falling in love at first sight?"

"My parents fell in love with each other at first sight." Jacob said confidently.

"Sorry, I will never accept love at first sight."

"Well, well, Leah, can I be your male intimate?" Jacob asked carefully.

Leah fell into silence.

"Just good friends."

"It is said that a male intimate is a rebound guy, isn't it? So you like to be a rebound guy? " Leah cast a sidelong glance at him. He was interested in being a rebound guy, but she was not interested in having a rebound guy.

"Leah, you're not cute at all. How about we just be friends?" Jacob compromised.

"Okay."

Seeing that Leah agreed, Jacob became cheerful again. He was as cheerful and talkative as before.

The engagement ceremony officially began at half past eleven at noon. Mr. Barton talked with the guests excitedly.

Leah had already been waiting in the hall, but Charlie hadn't shown up yet.

The ceremony was about to begin, but the main character was missing. Everyone began to discuss.

Mr. Barton didn't look good. He called the butler and said, "go and call Charlie here."

"Yes, sir."

The Butler left in a hurry, with cold sweat on his head. Where had Mr. Charlie been in such a big scene?

At eleven twenty-five, the Butler ran back with sweat all over his forehead, "I haven't found Mr. Charlie."

"This bastard." Mr. Barton's face darkened. He shouldn't have given the shares to him.

"Sorry, I'm late." When everyone was talking and thinking, a figure appeared at the door.

"Charlie, where have you been?" Mr. Barton said unhappily.

"Grandpa, I just met an acquaintance and delayed for a while?" Said Charlie with a smile.

Mr. Barton looked at him suspiciously, but was still unhappy. "What acquaintance? Do you have to delay on such an important day?"

"She will come later. Let's start first."

Compared to wedding, there were few procedures in the engagement party. Moreover, the engagement of a rich family was a business talk.

Leah felt a little uneasy. The video of her being drugged had not been photographed. What would Charlie think of a way to avoid getting engaged?

In the corner, a pair of jealous eyes stared at Leah.

The ceremony lasted for half an hour. When Charlie and Leah were toasting to the guests around them, a bright and haggard figure appeared at the door.

"You can't get engaged." An angry voice came through.

Everyone turned their heads. Who was that?

Leah sneered. It started.

A hint of slyness flashed through Charlie's eyes. He frowned and asked with concern, "Alina, why are you here? You haven't recovered yet. "

Oh, big news, this international superstar was very famous, and her name is almost a household name.

"Charlie, don't be cheated by her. Don't get engaged to her." Alina sobbed.

Mr. Barton was furious. "Charlie, who is she?"

"Mr. Barton, my name is Alina. Charlie and I really love each other. Leah lied to you. Don't believe her." There were tears on her beautiful face.

Seeing this, [叶歆瑶] sneered. The international superstar deserved the reputation.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mr. Barton's face darkened.

Holding Alina's hand, Charlie persuaded her in a soft voice, "Alina, can you go home?"
