Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203

This answer surprised Xander.

Hector was known for his rationality, which was why his family had chosen to push him toward a political career.

The idea of “love at first sight” was something Xander believed was impossible for someone like Hector.

Moreover, Hector’s family had high expectations for his future spouse, and he himself also had high standards.

So, Xander asked, “The woman who made you fall in love at first sight must be someone really exceptional, right?”

“She is.” Hector answered with certainty. “She is very exceptional.”

Xander’s curiosity grew. “Who exactly is she?”

Hector refused to say, claiming that the timing wasn’t right.

He didn’t know if he could win Eliza’s heart, and he was worried that openly expressing his feelings might cause her discomfort, so he chose to keep it to

himself for now.

But if one day he really won Eliza’s heart, he would announce her identity to the world.

Xander couldn’t get him to talk, so he gave up and looked at the wine glass in his hand. He took a photo and sent it to Medea, saying it was for her celebration.

Medea replied after a while, asking if he was at the Instru Club.

Xander was surprised and asked how she knew.

Medea pointed out the Instru logo visible in the corner of the photo, and Xander realized he had given himself away.

“Since you’re here, why don’t you come over and join us?” Medea invited him.

Xander replied, “I came with friends, so it wouldn’t be quite appropriate.”

Medea then asked which private room he was in, saying she’d come by to say hello.

Without hesitation, Xander immediately sent her the room number.

Medea arrived quickly.

When she entered, she wore a polite smile, but when she saw Hector, she paused for a moment.

However, she quickly regained her composure and greeted Hector first, “Mr. Blaine, long time no see.

Xander was surprised. “You two know each other?”

“Yes, we’ve met a few times, Medea replied casually, sitting down elegantly. She then said to Xander. “If you had mentiones Mr. Blaine, we could have gone together. After all, we all know each other.”

Hector responded in a slightly distant tone, It’s not convenient

Medea smiled gently. “That’s true. Your position doesnt really suit getting too close to business people I understatul

She took the drink Xander poured and raised her glass to both of them. This di ink is to leath of you, enjoy yourselves.

Xander clinked his glass with hers and wished her a happy engagement

Hector, sitting at a distance, merely tapped his glass on the table lightly, offering a brief acknowledgment

He could have stood up and clinked glasses, as the private room was spacious and not many people were there.

But he still chose not to.

Medea was surprised, but she maintained her composure, finishing her drink before standing up. “We’ll have a meal together another time.”

Cander agreed.

lector didn’t speak, not even looking at her, his attitude cold and indifferent.

his behavior made Medea frown in confusion.

lector seemed to be very indifferent toward her.

Vas it because she had rejected him?

: probably was.

fter all, being rejected could be quite damaging to one’s pride.

ut she didn’t think much of it, politely bidding them goodbye and leaving.

nce back in the private room, she didn’t forget to remind Xander, saying that she had spoken to the waiter and put the bill under her name.

ander quickly said, “There’s no need for you to pay. I’ll take care of it.”

Let me play the host, don’t be so formal with me,” she replied.

Then thank you.”

fedea then asked him, “By the way, how did you and Hector meet?”

he was quite curious, as they were from different age groups.

nd their backgrounds seemed unrelated.

He’s my next–door neighbor.”

o, they were just neighbors.

lowever, Medea grew a bit suspicious and added, “Hector is quite successful for someone his age. People his age don’t usually make it to where he is, his family aust have helped him a lot, right?”

He did it all on his own,” Xander replied, only saying what he could.

lector’s father’s influence was too great, so it wasn’t something he could talk about openly.

Ipon hearing this, Medea realized she had overthought it.

lector probably didn’t have much of a background.

Moreover, during her matchmaking with Regina, she had asked someone to check on Hector’s family in North City, but found nothing about powerful figures connected to the Blaine family.

That’s why she had been so indifferent during the meeting.

She didn’t know what the matchmaker had been thinking when they told Regina that Hector came from a powerful family

It was only then that she secretly met with Hector, but after realizing he didn’t have much of a family background, she told him during their second meeting

that she wasn’t interested and would focus on Calvin instead.

The next day, Eliza was flying to G City and needed to wait until she returned before dealing with the Kallis Medical issue.

Chapter 203

However, she needed to inform Gideon to prepare the required materials in advance.

So, after finishing her current tasks, she called Gideon.

It was quite noisy on Gideon’s side, and Eliza vaguely heard someone saying something about congratulating Medea for her happiness.

As Gideon walked out of the room, the noise was blocked out.

‘Eliza… General Grant.”

Gideon habitually called her by her name but stopped himself, eventually just saying “General Grant.”

It felt awkward.

Moreover, his attitude towards her had changed.

‘reviously, he was dismissive, all high and mighty, as if he were above her.

Now… now it felt like a student answering a call from the headmaster, cautious and respectful.

liza calmly informed him of what needed to be prepared.

I can’t remember everything, could you send it to me on Facebook?” Gideon asked hesitantly.

liza frowned, realizing that these things were indeed a bit difficult for Gideon, so she agreed.

ust as she was about to hang up, Gideon hesitantly added, “General Grant, am I still on your blacklist?”

I know,” Eliza replied, hanging up the phone and removing Gideon from her Facebook blacklist.

he then sent him the categories of materials needed.

Gideon replied immediately, “Got it.”

liza thought for a moment and added, “If you don’t understand anything, you can ask Sadie.”

Adeon replied again, “Got it.”

le was being very formal.

liza exited their chat and opened her Moments to check recent updates.

Mrs. Vega was someone who loved life and frequently posted on her Moments.

ince adding her as a friend, Eliza had often liked her posts, so it had become a habit to check her Moments before going to bed.

Refreshing the page, she saw that Mrs. Vega had posted.

It was a picture of her visiting an orphanage, surrounded by a group of children. She was smiling warmly at them

But Eliza couldn’t help but think that Mrs. Vega seemed to have lost some weight

After liking the post, Eliza scrolled down and saw a recent update from Gideon.

“Congratulations to Calvin and Medea for a lifetime of happiness! Wishing you endless joyt

The accompanying photo showed the two of them.

Calvin had his arm around Medea’s shoulders, looking relaxed.

He was turned slightly, gazing at Medea with deep affection and indulgence.
