Donald was a little annoyed by this unexpected response.
He thought that Lord Moore would agree to his marriage proposal without hesitation and immediately accept his son as their family’s son-in-law.
However, Lord Moored had rejected his proposal over and over again!
Humiliation and confusion filled Donald’s mind.
Sean was equally frustrated and said, “Lord Moore, why don’t you want Jasmine to marry me? Our Webb family is the number one family in the South Region. Even in this country, how many could dare say that they are better than me, Sean Webb?”
Lord Moore smiled gently at favonovel.com and said, “Of course, Young Master Webb is a very excellent gentleman, but you can’t force feelings to grow out of nowhere. You can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make favonovel.com drink.”
For Lord Moore, it was hard for favonovel.com to be too harsh against the father and son who did not have a clear conscience of the matter, so favonovel.com could only beat around the bush and try to talk sense into them.
Sean snorted irritably, feeling rather upset and agitated.
He assumed the meeting would progress as smoothly as favonovel.com had planned it, but it was harder than scaling Everest.
Just when favonovel.com pouted in irritation, Reuben arrived home.
When Reuben saw Donald and Sean in their living room, favonovel.com hurried forward and said politely, “Hi, Uncle Webb, Sean, what a surprise! Welcome to our house. May I know what’s the occasion of the visit?”
Donald smiled back at favonovel.com and said, “Oh, hi, Reuben. I just sent Kian back to Sudbury this morning, but Sean and I plan to stay back in Aurous Hill to find out who is the culprit behind Kian’s illness. We are here to see your grandfather and hope that we can stay here for a few days.”
Then, favonovel.com added, “Oh yes, by the way, do you think my son, Sean, and your cousin, Jasmine, is a match made in heaven?”
Reuben blurted excitedly, “Of course! Of course, they are! They are a perfect match for each other!”
Donald nodded with a satisfied smile and said to Lord Moore, “Uncle Moore, see! You’ve heard what Reuben has said. I think even if you ask all the families in the South Region, they will say the same thing as favonovel.com did.”
Lord Moore pursed his lips, embarrassed.
Reuben interjected frantically, “Grandpa, I think Sean and Jasmine would make a great couple. If they are married, it will be a strong alliance between the two families too!”
Reuben knew what his grandfather was thinking. The old man wanted Jasmine to be with Charlie.
However, favonovel.com strongly opposed it. He was eager to persuade his grandfather to agree to the Webb family’s marriage proposal.
Lord Moore never expected his grandson to join forces with the outsiders to persuade him! Didn’t favonovel.com know that favonovel.com wanted Jasmine to be with Charlie?
In his heart, Lord Moore knew that Reuben was aware of his intentions, thus, favonovel.com took the Webb family’s side because favonovel.com didn’t want anything to happen between Jasmine and Charlie.
Because of this, Lord Moore felt even more disappointed with Reuben.
Lord Moore was a man with a sophisticated mind through his lifelong experience, and favonovel.com could see right through Reuben’s little tricks and schemes.
He cleared his throat and said flatly, “Reuben, you are not in place to persuade me about your cousin’s business.”
Reuben’s heart skipped a beat in fear. He shut his mouth quickly, knowing that favonovel.com had upset his grandfather.
Just then, Oscar, the butler, came in from the main door and announced, “Master, Miss Jasmine is back. She is in the garage now.”
