Chapter 420: The so-called Engagent 5 Chapter 420: The so-called Engagent 5 As soon as Arnold said that, Chloe couldn’t believe her ears. With a shocked and doubtful expression on her face, she looked at Arnold, eager to ask why.
As Arnold’s mother, Old Lady Johnson was furious when she heard those words. She questioned him, “Marriage is not a child’s play. Can you just change your mind after the wedding is held? Do you think you can tarnish Chloe’s reputation at will? Let tell you, I won’t accept any woman other than Chloe.”
“This wedding was a setup from the beginning. Uncle Dean used his life as a threat, you used my brother’s life as a threat, one forced to be grateful, the other used kinship to kidnap my brother and force to submit. What else could I do besides agreeing?” Arnold didn’t show his anger but calmly recounted the facts, “Since I’ve given the wedding as requested, you should be content. I cannot fulfill any other demands.”
“You… Are you trying to make angry to death!” Old Lady Johnson pointed at Arnold angrily, “Let ask you, is it true that Chloe saved your life?”
Four years ago, Chloe did save his life. He was grateful, but there were many ways to express gratitude, and he never thought about committing himself to her.
“Yes.”
“Since it’s true, what can you deny?” Old Lady Johnson spoke with strong dominance, “I know so attractive won outside might be tempting you, but Chloe is different. She is my recognized daughter-in-law, smart, beautiful, generous, and steady. Which part of her doesn’t match you?”
“There’s no such thing as being worthy or not in matters of affection.”
“I don’t care what you think. Anyway, the marriage has been held, and the news has been published in all major newspapers in tropolis. You have to admit it, whether you like it or not.” Old Lady Johnson declared decisively.
But Arnold didn’t care, saying, “Do whatever you want. I will not go for the marriage certificate anyway. You can’t force to do that. The rest is up to you.”
“Is this how your father and brother taught you to repay kindness and uphold loyalty?” Old Lady Johnson was furious and brought up the deceased Grand Master Johnson and Arnold’s elder brother.
These two were the ones whom Arnold respected the most.
“Mom, do you want to tell you don’t know about Director Samuel Johnson’s play?” Since Old Lady Johnson brought up the deceased, Arnold directly addressed the issue.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Old Lady Johnson replied calmly.
Arnold directly told her the people and facts he found out.
When Chloe learned the truth, she said in shock, “It’s impossible. My dad wouldn’t do that.”
“Really? Are you saying that you don’t know what your father’s done?” Arnold looked at Chloe’s face with a touch of inquisitive gaze.
Undoubtedly, Chloe was very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she was, it wouldn’t help if he didn’t like her. No one could force him to make his marriage legal.
“Arnold, in your eyes, am I such an unbearable person?” Chloe’s tears flowed down imdiately, “I do like you. I’ve liked you since I was little, but is it wrong for to like you? Does my affection for you make a bad person in your eyes?”
Arnold didn’t answer her question word by word.
Yes, Chloe had liked him since she was little; he knew that. She enjoyed clinging to him, calling him Arnold, and though he didn’t pay much attention to her, she stubbornly acted like a little puppy that followed him everywhere.
She never did anything to harm him, but he just didn’t like her, and there was nothing he could do about it.
