Chapter 651 Lauren hesitated for a moment before speaking .


    Since you overheard it , I might as well tell you everything .


    Joe is the young master of Blumedales Driscoll family .


    Hes also the most outstanding talent among their generation .


    She exined , The Rhodes family originated from Jayrodale but moved to Blumedale to expand .


    Ive only met Joe twice , and after that , he dered he was in love with me and swore he would marry me no matter what .


    This news spread quickly within Blumedales social circles .


    Later , the Driscoll family formally came to the Rhodes family to propose marriage .


    Laurens voice faltered slightly as her expression dimmed for a moment .


    It was absurd to me , but my parents and the elders didnt object at all .


    They were overjoyed and epted the proposal without hesitation .


    me ; theres Andrew spoke softly , sensing her struggle .


    So, youre caught in a tough spot , arent you ? On one side , on the other , theres your parents and your family .


    If you choose me , youll be going against your familys wishes and feel like youre letting your parents down , right ? Laurens face paled as conflict and pain clouded her expression .


    Yet , after a deep breath , she smiled and firmly held Andrews hand .


    No matter what , I want to be with you .


    I love you , Dr.


    Lloyd .


    She added , I love you in the way that Id do anything for you , whatever it takes .


    Throughout history , no hero has ever truly resisted the charms of a beautiful woman .


    And no burden had been heavier than a womans favor .


    Andrew said nothing and simply pulled Lauren into a gentle embrace .


    He bore no grudge against the Driscoll family and did not care much about their influence .


    However , for the woman in his arms , Andrew did not care who stood in his way .


    If someone blocked his path , they would be removed simple as that .


    After work , Andrew did not return to Moonlit Sanctuary .


    Instead , he drove straight to the West End headquarters .


    Natasha greeted him with a dramatic pout .


    Oh , I see how it is .


    Ever since you got cozy with Ms.


    Rhodes , you dont visit me anymore .


    Darling , I didnt know you liked younger girls ! If youd told me , I couldve dressed in a school uniform with thigh highs .


    Youd be begging me in no time ! Andrew sighed and rolled his eyes .


    What nonsense are you spouting now ? Quit the drama ; I havent even eaten .


    yet .


    Get me some food first .


    Natasha huffed but did not argue , stomping off to fetch him a te of beef ragu pasta .


    Here .


    Extra beef .


    Eat up .


    You cant work on an empty stomach , you know ! She ced the te in front of him with a dramatic thud , but her concern still slipped through .


    Andrew took a whiff and smiled .


    Smells great .


    I didnt expect the West End to have pasta this good .


    Natasha crossed her arms and red .


    Those arent from some street vendor ! I made them myself ! Andrew froze in surprise .


    You made these ? I didnt know you could cook .


    Natashas temper red as she grabbed the te , threatening to take it away .


    Oh , so now youre looking down on me ? Fine ! Ill dump this and feed it to the pigs / Andrew quickly blocked her , chuckling awkwardly .


    Come on , Natasha .


    Dont get so worked up .


    Youre the leader of the West End ! Youre always busy how was I supposed to know you had time to cook ? Natasha gritted her teeth .


    Busy or not , even if the President himself showed up , the best hed get from me is boiled broli .


    But youre different .


    I actually wanted to cook for you , and you cant even appreciate it .


    Andrew immediately dug into the pasta , finishing the sauce without wasting a drop .


    He smiled warmly .


    Its 1/2  Chapter 651 delicious .


    You know , Natasha , if you ever get tired of being badass crime boss , youd do really well running a pasta shop .
