Chapter 1926 Fallen In Love
“Haha! I’ll have to thank you in advance, Ms. Atkinson!” Sean laughed and closed the car door for her. He only went back in after watching her convoy leave.
“How was it?” Gordon walked up to Sean and asked softly, “What did Ms. Atkinson talk to you about for so long?”
“She asked me to convince Mr. Lindberg. Also, she said she’s willing to compromise as long as he ends up marrying her.” Sean proceeded to tell Gordon everything Hazel had told him.
“What? She said that?” Gordon was shocked. “She’s so kind and generous.”
Sean analyzed out loud, “Well, she’s a girl from a prominent family, so she had been taught this concept ever since she was little. The moment Ms. Atkinson turned six, she was frequently sent to the Lindberg residence to spend time with the family. Hence, they had been saving her for Mr. Lindberg. In order to make their family stronger, the Atkinson family was willing to sacrifice anything. Besides, Ms. Atkinson likes Mr. Lindberg. Since every girl yearns for strong and capable men, she’s not losing out on anything if she were to end up together with Mr. Lindberg. In addition, girls from prominent families are into power and status, so they had long abandoned the concept of love. They are after personal gains and titles. Mr. Lindberg, however, is still a simple and pure person when it comes to relationships.”
“Right.” Gordon nodded. “There aren’t many people left who are simple and pure like Mr. Lindberg.”
Sean heaved a sigh. “Although that’s true, Mr. Lindberg is facing threats from every direction at the moment. If he insists on doing things his way, he’ll have to face the consequences in the future.”
“That’s right,” Gordon agreed. “The Nacht family hasn’t acted yet. Once they do, things are bound to get dicey.”
“Mr. Lindberg knows that as well. That’s why he wanted to settle our internal affairs before the Nacht family act. However, who would’ve thought Mr. Adams would show up out of nowhere? Besides, Ms. Felch’s appearance had severely messed up Mr. Lindberg’s plans,” Sean said softly because he was afraid that Danrique would hear him. Mr. Lindberg is a protective person. He can scold her all he wants, but he can’t tolerate people talking badly about Francesca.
“I felt it, too,” Gordon whispered. “Before this, Mr. Lindberg was fearless and ruthless because he had no liabilities. Now that he has a weakness, someone might end up using it against him.”
“Exactly.” Sean nodded. “What happened today is just the beginning. No one knows what’s coming up next.”
“What should we do now, then?” Gordon asked solemnly.
“What else can we do?” Sean retorted. “It’s not like we can convince Mr. Lindberg otherwise. Also, who can tell him to do something he doesn’t want to?”
“Things are going to get worse if Hazel really ends up marrying Mr. Adams.” Gordon was growing anxious. “Why don’t you try to convince Mr. Lindberg?”
“Forget about it. Not only will I fail, but I’ll also get scolded.” Sean rejected the idea unhesitatingly. “Sometimes, he has to learn it on his own. We should let Mr. Lindberg figure it out.”
“Okay, then.” Gordon didn’t comment further. “I’ll get going now.”
“Okay.” When Sean was about to head upstairs, he saw Danrique had changed, and he was heading down the stairs. “Mr. Lindberg? Where are you going at this hour?” Sean asked.
“I’m going to the hospital to keep Cece company.” As Danrique was walking down the stairs, he ordered, “Get the car ready.”
“Yes.” His subordinates went to fetch the car.
Sean quickly followed him from behind. “Since it’s already so late, Ms. Felch is most probably asleep now. You still have to go to work early tomorrow morning, Mr. Lindberg. Why don’t you rest—”
“You’re full of rubbish,” Danrique interrupted and headed out.
“Mr. Lindberg, I’ll come with you, then.” Sean hurried after him.
“That won’t be necessary.” Danrique got into the car.
Sean couldn’t help but let out a sigh when he watched the car leave. It seems like Mr. Lindberg has fallen in love.
