Wolf President Hooks Up novel Chapter 648

Frowning, Joseph glanced at Rylee and then turned to Andrea, “Andrea Carroll, stop this nonsense! You won’t be let off if you dare to spread such rumors again!”

Andrea bit her lips with a slight trembling taking hold of her body.

Was it real?

Was it real what Andrea just said?

Did Manfred really agree to the engagement with Caroline?

Impossible!

It was definitely impossible!

Manfred clearly told her that he would not be with Caroline, that he would definitely not be engaged to Caroline, that his beloved one was her!

Andrea snorted and said fiercely, “We the whole family, except for her, already know the news! If I lie a little, let a car kill me now!”

At the words, she ran out of the canteen.

Rylee was transfixed with her eyes greatly widened.

Joseph gave Rylee a gentle nudge and asked, “Are you all right? You look sick.”

Rylee weakly fell to a chair with the support of Joseph’s arm. She signed disappointedly, “Will Manfred be engaged to her?”

Joseph would have said something bad of Manfred to comfort Rylee, but noticing that she looked pale, he was too afraid to hurt her to say anything.

Rylee was so confused and sad that she could not even take a single bite of the food brought back by Joseph.

Only after Joseph coxed her hard did she take a few mouthfuls of rice.

At the bottom of her heart cried a voice loudly, “Manfred lied to me!”

No! It couldn’t be!

How could he lie to her?

He had always been so tending to her like a gleam of sunshine covering her with a precious warmth in that cold and ruthless home.

She treated him as her mum, who gave her a sense of kinship that she had not felt for a long time.

Her mother had already left her alone. Was it that, now, he, the man who gave her the same kind of motherly warmth, was going to leave her too?

Rylee felt miserable.

When receiving the special interview and photos of Kenneth Keith, the teacher became overwhelmingly excited and gave Rylee tremendous praise while Rylee still showed an indifferent and pale face.

Even after Rylee left the office, the teacher was still excited.

Rylee really didn’t know where to go. She took out her phone and wanted to call Manfred to question the authenticity of the news, but she lacked the courage.

Who was she to him?

Indeed, he once said that he liked her and would wait for her to grow up! But…those words were nothing but unimportant and frivolous verbal promises. How could they count for anything?

All afternoon, Rylee was absent-minded.

After school, Joseph and Rylee rode home together.

She kept silent for a long time until suddenly a sentence broke out, “If he has lied to me, I will never ever forgive him!”

Joseph was shocked by her anger and also felt pity for her at the bottom of his heart.

She didn’t have much warmth belonging to her and now would there be even less?

Joseph smiled drily and said, “It doesn’t matter. Don’t you still have me with you? If you can’t find one, I can lump it to marry you. Hey, but we need to make a deal now that you can’t bully or beat me all the time if we do get married in the future.”

Rylee finally showed a slight smile.

Although it was still bitter.

Rylee didn’t even have her dinner that night after she went back to the Carroll's Manor.

When it came to eight o’clock, she finally could not help it and ran to the door of Manfred’s room, wanting to question him about the news.

***

Just as she was about to knock, she found that the door was not locked and open a little, and there were some people chatting inside.

Who was talking with Manfred?

Rylee curiously leaned over and eavesdropped at the door.

It was father!

“Manfred, I think that I can rely on you. In the future, I will hand over my business to you. Your engagement with Caroline was brought up by your sister. I believe that this arrangement is wonderful since we will be family after your engagement, and our family business would definitely have a promising development. Also, Caroline once told me privately that she is very fond of you. And now I am here to know what you think about this affair.”

At the words, Rylee became too nervous to breathe.

Her palms were sweating.

Manfred, please, don’t say yes!

After a second of hesitation, Manfred signed and said, “Well, I will obey my sister’s will. As for Caroline, I will try my best to take care of her. Don’t worry about it, Brook.”

“Good! Very good! I am relieved with your promise. Ha!”

Rylee widened her eyes greatly and was transfixed with shock.

What did Manfred say?

Did he mean yes?
