SWNOVELS Chapter 501
Chapter 501 The Person I Don't Want to See
I was almost dumbfounded by the secrets that Cinder had inquired about
Yes, I always knew that Emily was someone who prioritized love, but I never expected her to go to such lengths in pursuit of it
Mr. Grey's affection for his daughter, even though I did not personally enter the high society circle back then, was still well-known
He doted on Emily to the point of indulgence, and no one could take advantage of her in any way. In his world, he could do anything for his daughter. As for love, Mr. Grey's belief was that dating was acceptable, but marriage should be approached with caution
But who could have imagined that the more carefully he guarded his daughter, Emily became even more invincible when she became stubborn
She thought she had met the person she wanted to marry most in her life, but she forgot her father's advice to "be cautious". If it weren't for Mr. Grey's intervention, freezing her bank card, Vincent would probably have taken over Grey Group by now
I laughed as I told Cinder that Emily had made
no progress over the years. But ultimately, these were just gossip, just like what I had told Emily, her life with Vincent had nothing to do with me
So I just treated these things as jokes at the dinner table, and I listened and laughed and that
was it
Fortunately, after that day, Emily rarely appeared in front of me, except for occasional meetings with the technical department
I finally got back on track with my life and started living a regular routine, going to work on time every day. Of course, on weekends, I also kept my promise and faithfully took my daughter and Aaron back to the old Morris estate, where we would have dinner with Mr
Morris
Perhaps due to illness, old Morris's personality had changed a lot
According to the maid, he stayed at home every day and no longer inquired about any news from the Morris Group. The financial newspapers at home were also no longer delivered to the living
room and study, as per Mr. Morris' instructions
His only entertainment activity each day was tending to the few plants in the garden, which, although repetitive, were not uninteresting
And when we returned and gathered together, waiting for dinner time, the look in old Morris! eyes towards his sons no longer had the sharp edge it used to have in the past, and the topics of conversation no longer revolved around the management of the company. Instead, he seemed like an ordinary father, occasionally bringing up marriage and family for idle chitchat
Yes, even the strong-willed Mr. Morris couldn't escape the inevitable. As he watched Molly and Jasmin grow up day by day, his desire for Joe to get married became increasingly strong
"If there is a suitable girl in the company, I don't mind you marrying her. Joe, actually, whether
your marriage partner is a noble or not is not so important to me anymore. As your father, I just want you to have a relationship that brings you
Joy
"
Old Morris said this while looking at Joe, but Joe instinctively avoided eye contact and smiled, changing the subject. I don't know if it's Just my imagination, but whenever I'm around, he never wants to talk about marriage
And he would deliberately avoid any one-on-one contact with me at home, just like he did when I first came to Morris' house, leaving me with mixed feelings in my heart
Actually, after learning about Joe's feelings towards me, I had thought that our relationship would become this awkward. It's human nature, but I couldn't help but feel nostalgic, even missing the days when I first came here and
knew nothing about the secrets of the Morris family
Unfortunately, no matter what, the situation had already been determined, and life had to continue in this way
Fortunately, my work was fulfilling enough to make me forget about some unpleasant things, such as these family trivialities, and also the
recent harassment from Vincent for no reason
No, Vincent!
Before I could even sigh with relief that he had finally disappeared from my mind, his fake Facebook account appeared again in my pending friend requests list
I don't know what method he used, but he managed to bypass my blacklist and send the
friend request again. I muttered a curse under my breath as I looked at the message notification on the screen, then turned off my phone and redirected my attention back to my desk
However, as I was about to finish work, I unintentionally looked up and saw Vincent's figure outside the office building
What the fuck!
I once again confirmed the theory that the more I don't want to see someone, the more likely I am to see them. However, up until this point, I hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem. I just thought I was unlucky to run into Vincent, who was picking up Emily from work
So I deliberately stayed in the office for an extra fifteen minutes, waiting for everyone from the neighboring technical department to leave and
for there to be no sound at all before going downstairs. However, I was surprised to be stopped by Vincent directly in the underground parking lot
