Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 4

Emilia cast a shy glance at Drake, expecting him to answer the question. Like they said, they had been together for five or six years. She was getting older. If she still couldn't get married soon, she would become the laughingstock in Sealand.

However, Drake didn't seemingly hear their questions.

A hidden trace of disappointment flashed through Emilia's eyes.

Drake walked to the Old Riley and said respectfully, "Happy birthday, Grandpa."

Emilia echoed, "Happy birthday, Grandpa. This is my gift to you. Wish you happy every day."

The Old Riley took the gift box over while smiling at her. "Wonderful! Thank you for the gift, Emilia. I'm so happy. I hope you and Drake can get married ASAP, so I'll have a great-grandson soon."

The Old Riley's words confirmed Emilia's identity in the Riley family.

Emilia replied shyly, "Please be patient, Grandpa. Drake and I are still young."

The Old Riley said, "Yes, you are, but I'm not young. If you don't give birth to my great-grandson, I'm afraid I cannot see him before going to Heaven."

"Come on, Grandpa!" Emilia played at being cute. "Stop saying that! You'll live healthy and long."

"You sweet talker." The Old Riley cast a doting smile at her.

Olivia Grant, the Old Riley's daughter-in-law, exchanged a smile at Aria.

Olivia reminded the Old Riley, "Dad, didn't you say you'd make an announcement to our guests tonight?"

The Old Riley rang the bell. "Right. I have good news to share with everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for coming to my birthday banquet. I also want to take this chance to announce..."

Emilia looked tense. After this evening, she would become Drake's official fiancee. Even though Drake didn't respond to the Old Riley's words earlier, she believed he would surely obey his grandfather.

Suddenly, a Lincoln limousine appeared at Riley Manor's gate. A guest noticed it and exclaimed, "Isn't that Mr. Travis Lawson's car? He's the oldest son of the Pinkerton Lawson family. Is he also here?"

"The Riley family is indeed respected. The Lawson family never attended any banquets before."

The Old Riley had forgotten what he wanted to announce earlier. Plastering a smile, he looked at the entrance expectantly. Like the Riley family in Sealand, the Lawson family was influential in Pinkerton.

Earlier, they mailed the invitation card to the Lawson family but were told they wouldn't attend it.

Much to the Old Riley's surprise, they came tonight. The Old Riley wondered if they intended to surprise him.

After the rear door was opened, a black leather shoe appeared in sight first. An attractive man nobly got off and elegantly buttoned his suit jacket. Everyone held their breath when watching him.

"Is... Is he Mr. Lawson? He's more lovely than I've imagined."

"Oh, my goodness! How charming! I wish I could marry him."

"Help me! I'm fainting."

The man nodded at all the guests politely. Then he turned around and reached his hand into the car while covering the car roof gentlemanly.

Shortly after, a woman in a black dress appeared. Silence blanketed the scene.

A long while later, one man sighed, "Sh-She looks gorgeous! Who is she?"

"She appeared with Mr. Lawson together, must be his girlfriend or fiancee."
