My dear lawyer novel Chapter 416

“But John, today is the first day I work here, and there’s no point for the next time.” Feeling aggrieved, Haylee stared at John straightly with her teary eyes as if she would burst into tears at once if John didn’t agree.

Shaking his head, he forced a smile and insisted, “I’m so sorry. But there is something indeed that matters a lot for me tonight.”

“What’s it? Will you go home to accompany your parents or have a meeting with some major clients?” She mumbled then teased him with a wink, “Or are you gonna spend time with your girlfriend?”

Staring at her big bright eyes, which were like a transparent crystal without any impurity, John was amused at the thought of his mother’s words, as she was keen to make a match for them.

He had no idea why his mother would like to get them together by all means, while they both had no wills and intentions.

He reached out his hand and rubbed Haylee’s hair. With the disapproval in her eyes, he answered significantly, “Yeah. That’s it. I will go to accompany my fiancée.”

“Ah…your…fiancée? Is she beautiful? Could I have the honor to make acquaintance with her?” Haylee was in a daze for a moment and then questioned in a fast speed.

John was lowering his head to pack up his files and briefcase, so he didn’t see the anomaly in her eyes then he explained, “I’d like to, in an appropriate time. And maybe she will be my wife by then.”

Hearing this, Haylee grabbed her dress tightly and her expression became hideous for a short moment because of jealousy.

“I have never heard your mother mentioned it before. It’s quite surprising. How should you keep it secret from us for such a long time?” Haylee complained in a girlish tone, and there was intense jealousy in her eyes which the man couldn’t see.

John shook his head, and explained, “I don’t mean to keep it secret. It’s just not settled.”

“So you mean the important thing tonight is to make a proposal to her?” Haylee just cracked a joke to pretend to be happy with him, but the delight and happiness in his eyes got her down and even broke her heart.

Did he mean it?

John smiled, “Well, I gotta go. You don’t need to work overtime on the first workday and should go home early.”

John left and then stopped at the door suddenly, “Um… I hope you can keep it secret and don’t mention it to others. And I will treat you wedding candies when I make it.”

“Em…I got it.” She replied quietly behind John and her eyes were full of envy and unwillingness.

Watching John stepping into the elevator, she trembled and seemed to have lost her strength, with her eyes turned thoroughly red.

How irony and ridiculous it was that the man she loved for such a long time told her rapturously he wanted to marry others!

Haylee had been imaging that she and John would get married and live a happy life.

After failing to force a smile, she found she can’t do it and gave up.

She tried to adjust her mood for a while. Then she opened her hands, and there were many obvious marks in her fair skin.

No way! How could she give up after making such great efforts to match with John!

Made a proposal?

There was malice flashed on Haylee’s face.

Haylee couldn’t just let it be, then she said to herself, “let’s wait and see whether the lucky woman would be proposed by John and since then led a happy life.”

Driving to the manor with great happiness, John stopped at some distance from the sentry area of the gate. He waited quietly, expecting to take Vivian away as quickly as possible.
