Chapter 1566 A Nobody
‘‘Child? What child?’‘ Lawrence asked in bewilderment, not comprehending his own daughter’s words.
‘‘Maybe she’s talking about a child who was with her when the incident happened,’‘ Kelly quipped frantically before glaring at Sonia, warning her not to say anything more.
Harvey’s gaze darkened as he heard that.
Is my child that unwelcome?
However, Sonia knew that Kelly was a woman of her word. Aware that she would really lose her child if she didn’t speak up now, the young woman forced herself up and gazed at Lawrence. ‘‘Dad, I’m pregnant. I don’t want to marry Prince Aaron. I want to marry him,’‘ she declared while pointing at Harvey.
Despite always being collected, Lawrence didn’t know what to say at this point. It was only after turning in the direction of Sonia’s finger that he noticed Harvey standing behind him, and his eyes narrowed. This guy doesn’t look all that simple. Why did he get close to Sonia? What is he after?
A mix of emotions swirled within Harvey, who had clearly never thought Sonia would tell her father who she wanted to marry. He turned to the woman, silently promising that he would make sure she never regretted her decision if she were to marry him.
But as he prepared to be evaluated by his future father-in-law, Kelly could no longer contain her rage. ‘‘What future do you have with someone like him? What do you not like about Prince Aaron? He’s handsome, influential, and talented! Why won’t you marry him?’‘ she grilled, no longer caring that Lawrence was there too.
‘‘It doesn’t matter how good he is if I’m not interested in him!’‘ Sonia’s eyes reddened.
All you care about is the benefits! That’s the only reason you want me to marry Prince Aaron.
‘‘And what good is there in being interested in this man? Can he look after you for the rest of your life just because you like him? Can he make sure you get to live happily?’‘ Kelly clapped back furiously.
‘‘That’s enough!’‘ Lawrence roared at both women.
Kelly had more to say, but she shut her mouth after glancing at her husband.
‘‘Do you want to marry Sonia?’‘ Lawrence asked, gazing at Harvey sternly.
Harvey nodded, returning an equally solemn look.
‘‘Yes. I want to take her as my wife,’‘ he answered before turning to Sonia. ‘‘As long as she agrees to that, I’ll make her happy for the rest of her life so she’ll never regret marrying me.’‘
Lawrence studied the young man before him. The look in Harvey’s eyes reflected his seriousness, but there was no way the older man could hand his daughter over to him just like that.
He didn’t even know who this mysterious lad was.
‘‘I can tell how serious you are about my daughter, but I don’t even know who you are. How can I hand my precious little girl over to you?’‘ he scoffed.
Harvey fell silent upon hearing that.
He was a nobody in Turlen. More importantly, marriage to outsiders was forbidden in this country.
He stared at Lawrence, not knowing how to disclose his identity to the latter.
‘‘You see that? He’s just a nobody! You’d be crazy if you let Sonia marry a guy like him!’‘ Kelly couldn’t help but yell at Lawrence.
