Lovely Baby Came to Me novel Chapter 70

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.
