The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

Chapter 609: Getting Engaged Immediately

Because they had finally taken the last step to consummate their marriage, their feelings and relationship became more intimate. A mere moment of eye contact could make them feel immense love for each other.

During breakfast, Charlotte naturally noticed it at a glance and couldn’t help teasing them, “Cheyenne, I’ve discovered that you’re extraordinarily beautiful today. Indeed, a woman who has been nourished by love is different!”

Cheyenne was extremely shy and embarrassed. She glared at her and said angrily, “You’re already a general manager, yet you’re still so rude. How dare you tease your sister!”

“Haha!” Charlotte didn’t care at all. She made a face and fled with a piece of bread she hadn’t finished eating yet. “You two take your time. I won’t play gooseberry!”

She scurried away while giggling.

“You’re so serious when you’re in the office. Why are you acting like a child at home?” Cheyenne muttered, but she was beaming with joy.

Charlotte was still teasing her, just like usual. This meant that nothing had changed, and they were indeed a real family.

So despite being teased by Charlotte, Cheyenne was still overjoyed.

But she soon thought of something.

“Did Maddy call you last night and say that she would be leaving soon?” Cheyenne asked.

Lucas nodded. “Yes, she came to Orange County to treat William and help improve Grace’s mother’s condition. Now, William has regained consciousness, and he can be discharged after recuperating for a while, so she’ll be leaving tomorrow.”

“So soon?” Cheyenne was a little surprised. She thought about it and said, “Actually, I’m truly grateful to Maddy. If not for her excellent medical skills, I’m afraid Dad would probably still be a vegetable at this point. While Maddy was helping, we were keeping watch in the hospital and didn’t get to thank her properly. But she’s leaving so soon.

“How about we invite Maddy to dinner tonight to thank her? Shall we go to the Lion Restaurant?”

Lucas nodded in agreement “Okay, I’ll tell her about it. Let’s set the time for six-thirty. We’ll head to the Lion Restaurant after you get off work this evening.”

Soon, both of them and Amelia finished breakfast. As usual, Lucas first dropped Amelia off at the kindergarten and then drove Cheyenne to the Brilliance Corporation.

After William regained consciousness, Cheyenne, the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, naturally canceled her annual leave and returned to work at the office.

Lucas returned to the Stardust Corporation to check on the company’s development.

During the days he was in the hospital, Charlotte had been mainly in charge of all the company’s affairs. Fortunately, she did a good job, and after the training during this period of time, she had become more and more familiar with being a good general manager.

While at the office, Lucas called Maddy and asked her out for dinner at half past six at the Lion Restaurant. Maddy naturally agreed with pleasure.

Although she didn’t know where the Lion Restaurant was, Jordan had been by her side these few days, so he would be tagging along with her to dinner. She didn’t have to worry about it at all.

By nearly 6 p.m., Lucas had already driven to the entrance of the Brilliance Corporation to pick up Cheyenne. The two of them then headed to the Lion Restaurant together.

They parked the car in the parking lot nearby. When they reached the entrance of the Lion Restaurant, they saw Maddy and Jordan.

Cheyenne was about to say hello to them when she suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

Maddy’s and Jordan’s faces weren’t so good, especially Maddy, who was frowning and sulking.

There was a man dressed like a wealthy scion in front of them, all decked out in designer wear.

Jordan stood in front of Maddy to shield her and shouted at the wealthy young man, “Who are you?”

The wealthy scion also looked at Jordan with animosity. “I’m Roy Smith from DC and Maddy’s fiancé. Where did you come from? What are you trying to do by being so close to my fiancée?”

Lucas’s eyes moved slightly. He was slightly surprised.

Although there was still a distance of dozens of meters between him and Maddy, his sense of hearing was far superior to others, so he naturally heard their entire conversation.

He claimed to be a Smith from DC and said that Maddy was his fiancée. In that case, he had to be the person Maddy’s family had arranged for her to marry, as she had mentioned earlier.

He hadn’t expected Roy to come to Orange County and even run into Maddy and Jordan.

The Smiths were not a simple family, and they were actually one of the eight most powerful families of DC. Their strength could be said to be on par with the Huttons’.

Roy wasn’t alone. Behind him were two tall and strong bodyguards, whose size and aura were not inferior to Jordan’s. These two should be his personal bodyguards.

Seeing Roy and Jordan getting into a conflict, the two bodyguards immediately emitted a powerful aura. They were vaguely targeting Jordan, and once Roy issued an order, they would attack Jordan at once.

Even Cheyenne could tell that their aura was hostile.

She took Lucas’s hand and said worriedly, “Lucas, it seems that Maddy and Jordan have run into someone creating trouble for them. We’d better hurry over and take a look!”

Lucas nodded and walked over with Cheyenne’s hand in his.

Maddy’s face became even more sullen after she heard Roy’s self-introduction. Without hiding her displeasure, she said coldly, “Roy Smith, since when are we engaged?”

Roy looked at Maddy’s cold and peeved expression and felt that it was very interesting.

Despite looking displeased, Maddy was indeed a ravishing beauty who was much more attractive than the countless tacky-looking girls.

With a smile that he thought was very elegant and charming, Roy said to Maddy, “Miss Maddy Stone, this is a joint agreement between our families. Hasn’t your family told you that we will soon be engaged?”

Maddy’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed even deeper.

Engaged?

He must be joking.

Maddy didn’t know Roy at all, and it was her first time meeting him today. She didn’t know anything about his temperament, interests, hobbies, manners, personality, and so on. What kind of an engagement was this?

Besides, what made her even more depressed was that her family didn’t discuss such a major matter with her!?Are they planning to hide the news from me and then suddenly announce it to me only when I return to DC, then force me to put a square peg into a round hole?

At this moment, Lucas and Cheyenne walked up to them.

Lucas smiled at Jordan and Maddy, as if he hadn’t seen Roy at all. “Hey Jordan and your missus, Cheyenne and I are a little late. Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

He had deliberately said ‘missus’ to Maddy.
