Chapter 815
Understanding the meaning behind his words, Jarold quickly replied, "Yes, yes, that''s right. It''s a pity
that it didn''t seed back then. Sigh, it''s really something regrettable in my life as long as I live."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Monica.
"But it doesn''t matter. Although our children are not married, it''s also fine and magnificent if our
grandchildren can wed each other."
Titan kept nodding his head, and the two old menughed out loud.
Monica looked at Titan''s eyes and spoke weakly, "Grandpa..."
Titan''s fox-like, cunning eyes fell on Maddox. He smiled enigmatically and stated, "Sebastian is not
young anymore, and he is only a few years older than Monica. If you two can..."
Maddox, who had not spoken since he took his seat, finally lifted his head. He looked up slightly,
revealing his pair of dark eyes.
His lips had been tightly pursed constantly from the beginning. His eyes were filled with endless
darkness, and no one could see his emotions and thoughts clearly.
When the two were in the middle of their conversation, he suddenly parted his thin lips.
"Since the marriage didn''t seed back then, it could just mean that the two families didn''t have
fate."
His words stunned the other three people on the spot. They looked at Maddox in surprise.
Monica was originally very delicate. She had always hoped that Maddox would spare some nces
at her. After all, she had put on effort to dress up beautifully that day. However, he had never
nced at her.
When he finally raised his head, Monica straightened her back even more. However, who would
have thought that in the next second, the words that came out of his mouth would be like a wet
nket thrown on her, causing her to feel a bone-chilling coldness.
"What, what did you say?" Titan narrowed his eyes and sized Maddox up.
Jarold was also caught off guard. He had thought that in front of Titan, this grandson of his, would
not reject his proposal. Who would have thought that he would actually...
"The times are no longer the same as our parents'' in the past. I understand that you older
generations prefer arranged marriages, but Master Dormer''s granddaughter and I are both
millennials who believe in the freedom to choose one''s partner. I think she already has someone in
mind, and I also have certain standards in seeking a partner."
Maddox''s words were neither servile nor overbearing, making it hard for anyone to refute him.
Monica suddenly stood up from her seat. She stared at Maddox with wide eyes. In disbelief, she
said. "Seb, you..."
Titan narrowed his eyes and looked at him unhappily. "Are you looking down on Monica?"
"No, how could you say that?" Jarold wanted to smooth things over. "Monica is such a good girl."
However, Maddox said lightly, "It''s me who doesn''t deserve Monica."
As soon as he finished speaking, he nced at his watch and continued, "Grandpa, Master Dormer,
I have to hold an important video conference at nine o''clock. I''ll be excusing myself first."
After that, he stood up from his seat, nodded to them, and then turned to leave.
"Seb!" Monica held the hem of her dress in panic and tried to catch up with him, but she was
stopped by Titan when she passed by him. "Stop right there." "Stop right there! You little brat!"
At the same time, Jarold also stood up and shouted at Maddox''s back.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Maddox paused and turned around to remind him, "Grandpa, that meeting is very important."
Jarold was enraged. "What''s so important? No matter how important it is, it''s not as important as
your marriage. Is it more important than your grandfather? Do you know that you''re having your
meal? Do you even know what''s respecting others?"
"Grandpa, I have been sitting with you for half an hour. If you think that I don''t respect you, then just
consider it as me leaving in advance."
"You d*mn brat, hurry up ande back, or else..."
Or else, he would be angered to death. However, Maddox had left without even looking back. Such
a reaction showed it extremely clear that he would not ept this engagement arranged by his
elders. This also meant that he was indeed not interested in Monica.
"Seb!"
In the blink of an eye, Maddox was gone. Monica quickly tried to catch up with him, but she was
again stopped by Titan.
"You are not allowed to go after him. The children of the Dormer family must have dignity. Since he
doesn''t like you, then just forget about this marriage!"
"Grandfather!" Monica''s eyes instantly turned red. She shook her head with all her might. "I don''t
want to just let it go like this. Seb is merely a bit cold and aloof. As long as you give me some time,
he will definitely show interest in me!"
"Don''t deceive yourself!" Titan snorted and swung his hand. "Didn''t you have enough time when you
went over to him every day when he was injured? Why didn''t he pay you any attention?"
Monica was immediately speechless.
"But his character has always been the same. If you give me some more time, grandpa..."
"Stop talking!" Titan shook off her hand and was so angry that he red at her. "You are the
precious princess of the Dormer family. You should be the one choosing your partner, not them
giving you the cold shoulder."
"But Grandpa..."
"Titan..."
For something like this to happen that day, Jarold was deeply apologetic. He walked forward and
said apologetically, "I didn''tmunicate with you beforehand, I..."
"Enough, Jarold, you don''t have to say anything. I don''t want to listen anymore!"
Jarold was helpless, "But..."
"Any wordsing out of your mouth is an insult to my granddaughter! Monica was brought up by
me with caring love, but now she''s rejected by your grandson in front of both of us. How humiliating
it is to her?"
"Yes, indeed, it''s my fault."
After all, they had been old friends for many years. Jarold could only nod and apologize. "Let''s do it
this way. I''ll apologize on behalf of Sebastian for today''s incident. I''ll talk about him when we return.
As for the engagement..."
"Forget it. Unless hees to propose in person, otherwise..."
Titan snorted coldly and continued, "Monica is such a finedy. There are so many men queueing
up to have her hand. There is no need for her to be looked down here."
Jarold went silent again.
While on the other side.
After Maddox left the hotel, he headed straight for the garage. However, as soon as he arrived at
the entrance, a figure rushed to him.
Maddox quickly dodged to the side. The figure staggered forward and almost fell to the ground.
"F*ck, I came specially to inform you, but you are so conscienceless!"
Geoffrey finally managed to steady himself and turned back to re at Maddox.
Maddox pursed his lips, kept the car keys, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Geoffrey gritted his teeth and retorted, "I''m here just to break some news to you. I''m not afraid of
breaking into the venue, so I waited for you here."
Upon hearing this, Maddox frowned. "What news?"
Thinking of what he was going to say, Geoffrey felt a little guilty and coughed softly. "Well do
you want to go to that assistant of yours? I called her today, but she didn''t answer my calls. I
thought she knew that you came to discuss the engagement, so... I made a slip of the tongue and
she now knows about it." "What did you say?"
