Chapter 21 Serve the Young Madam
After everyone came out of the venue, Isaac saw that it was still early, so he suggested, “It’s still early. Why don’t we go out and have a gathering? Ryan and sister-in-law got married, and the two of us couldn’t rush back from overseas. I’ll give you two another ceremony.”
“That’s right. Sister-in-law, don’t worry. This time, we will definitely make proper arrangements for you. Whatever you want, I’ll definitely do it for you as long as you say it.” Jackson said.
The two of them had been Ryan’s side for many years. They had been brothers since they were young. Ever since the incident happened with Ryan, no one was willing to take care of a useless person who could not inherit the family business.
However, Jackson had just seen that Elena would not hesitate to offend Roman for Ryan’s sake. From it, it could be seen that Elena was not as greedy and vain as other woman.
“She is not free.” Without waiting for Elena to speak, Ryan spoke on Elena’s behalf. His tone carried a warning.
Jackson curled up his lips and muttered softly, “I have never seen you like this before. Aren’t you going to play with us there?”
“What did you say?” Ryan raised his eyes and looked over. There was a trace of killing intent in his eyes.
Jackson saw that something was wrong and quickly ran away. “Ryan, I have to go. Isaac, send Ryan and others back.”
Isaac saw him run away like a rabbit and smiled awkwardly. He then looked at Elena. “Sister-in-law, don’t take offense. He probably didn’t take any medicine today.”
After the three of them said goodbye, Ryan left the charity auction with Elena. After this charity auction, Elena also discovered a problem. Jonathan really cared about the marriage between Amara and Roman.
Lewis family was also a wealthy family. Jonathan did not need to marry his daughter out of the family in a hurry, but she clearly felt that the Lewis family was very anxious just now.
Ryan saw that Elena was silent for a long time, so he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with you?”
Elena lifted her eyelids, “Just now at the charity auction, I felt that there was something between your brother and my cousin.”
“You can tell?” Ryan was not surprised by such a thing.
The two of them were together because they wanted to form a business alliance between the two families. Now, the ambitious of the Lewis family and Monor family had gradually expanded to other cities.
Elena saw his indifferent look and could not help but be slightly stunned. “Did you already know that there was something going on between the two of them?”
“This matter is not hard to tell. The marriage alliance between the Lewis family and the Monor family is just trying to push the two families to the top.”
The business world was like a battlefield. If they were not careful, they would be swallowed up by the other families. The Lewis family and Monor family didn’t want to go bankrupt.
Amara and Roman were the most important two people in the two families. He and Elena were undoubtedly the sacrifices of these two families.
Elena heard Ryan’s explanation and could not help but feel a lingering fear in her heart. The Lewis family had a meticulous mind. It turned out that everything was arranged by them.
Everything the Lewis family did was to pave a way for Amara.
Elena looked at Ryan who was beside her and felt some sympathy in her heart.
All of these belonged to him. But because of a car accident everything he had disappeared overnight.
If there were somethings that a person had never obtained before, even if he lost these things, he would not feel heartache. If he lost them after obtaining them, that would be the disappointment of falling to the bottom of the valley.
Xavier was driving in front. He looked behind the mirror and saw Elena’s hesitant look. He changed the topic. “Young Master, the old master asked me to remind you to go back to the old house this Sunday.”
“I’m not free.” Ryan heard this, a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes. The gentle expression on his face also disappeared in an instant.
Xavier looked troubled. “But he said he wanted to treat young mistress well.”
Although Elena did not know what had happened between the father and the son, seeing the expression on Ryan’s face, she knew that there must be a huge gap between them.
Elena did not want to want to make things difficult for Ryan because of her. “I did not see your parents at my wedding. I should have seen them.”
“In my heart, they are not worthy.” In these five years, he had long seen through people’s hearts. To him, these so-called familial love was simply worthless.
“Don’t be like this.” Elena advised earnestly, “No matter what, they are still your parents. Even if you don’t like Roman, the blood relationship between you two will not change.”
Elena sometimes thought that even if Ryan’s parents did not treat him well, at least they were still alive, unlike her parents. Her father had long passed away and her mother was still unconscious. She could not even act spoiled with her parents.
“You’re not afraid?” He saw that she seemed to want to go back to the Monor family.
“It’s not a matter of whether I’m afraid or not, it’s a matter of courtesy. I’m afraid your parents already know about our return to the Lewis family. This was my fault after all. We have to face this problem.”
Looking at Ryan’s attitude, Elena clearly felt that the relationship between him and his family was not good.
“Tell them that I will be back on time on Sunday.” Ryan did not refute her words, but instructed Xavier who was driving in front.
“Yes, Young Master.” Xavier knew very well what happen to Ryan over the years. It was normal that Ryan did not want go home.
But if he kept disobeying the old master’s wishes, his future life might not be easy.
The two of them went to sleep after returning home. Elena was already very sleepy before attending the banquet. This time, after she came back from shower, she directly went to bed.
When she laid on the bed, Elena only thought of a problem. They were already married now. Although it was very natural for both of them to sleep in the same room, Elena still felt a little repulsed in her heart.
After all they had not known each other for long.
