Chapter 347 Mrs. Tarleton, Are You Going Back Now?
Reina opened the Contacts interface and prepared to randomly enter a fake phone number.
The guy beside Reina saw through her thoughts at a glance and said calmly, "If the number doesn't work when I
go back, I will
personally look for you."
Reina's fingers trembled slightly and finally entered her real phone number.
After the King's Game ended, Aracely organized everyone to play other games.
It was only after ten o'clock in the evening that the crowd finished the games.
When they were about to leave, Anaya and Hearst left together.
Before leaving, Anaya called Jaylon, "Mr. Malpas."
"Huh?" Jaylon turned to look at Anaya.
Anaya smiled at Jaylon and said, "It's going to be the New Year. What about my new year's gift?"
Anaya didn't call Jaylon brother, but her attitude clearly showed that she had acknowledged the relationship
between them.
"I'll give it to you tomorrow." Jaylon's cold face softened a little.
"What is it?" Anaya asked.
Jaylon said calmly, "A third of the Mimo Group's shares."
The Mimo Group was an internationally renowned company. To be able to be on par with Prudential Group in
Canada showed its strength.
As the owner of the Mimo Group, the Malpas family held less than 70 percent of the shares in total.
One-third was already half of the shares in the hands of the Mimo Group's chairman.
If it was converted to cash...
Anaya could not estimate it.
"This joke is not funny at all."
"I am not joking." Jaylon's tone was very light, but his words were very serious.
"Dad has already prepared to retire. Half of the Mimo Group shares will be left for you.
"Giving it to you in advance is also understandable."
In the end, Anaya still refused this sky-high-priced new year's gift.
Jaylon meant that he wanted Anaya to go back with him to manage the Mimo Group.
However, Anaya had no intention of going abroad for the time being.
Adams's health was not good, and Riven Group was still in the rising period, so both of them could not leave her.
Even if Anaya found her biological parents, she would most likely stay in the country and accompany Adams and
Riven Group to finish the rest of the journey.
Adams had raised her for more than twenty years, so she could not be ungrateful to him.
Aracely sent Anaya out, her face full of envy. "Ana, Mr. Malpas is willing to give you the Mimo Group's shares. Why don't you want it? If you take the shares, you can do whatever you want in Boston!
"What bullshit is the Maltz family? If you pay a bit of money, you can directly buy it!"
Winston pinched Aracely's cheek. "A girl should speak more politely."
"You are really becoming more and more like my mother." Aracely
slapped Winston's hand away.
After saying this, Aracely immediately rushed to the other side of
Anaya, afraid that Winston would punish her.
Winston sighed and did not chase after Aracely.
Hearst held Anaya's hand and pulled her closer to him silently,
separating Anaya from Aracely.
Anaya did not notice Hearst's action and answered Aracely's
question. "The shares of the Mimo Group are not so easy to get.
"Jaylon means that I should go back to Canada with him and manage the family business of the Malpas family. But I have no intention of going abroad for the time being."
"No way? He just sent you a new year's gift. Things can't be so complicated." Aracely doubted it.
Anaya did not explain.
Aracely was simple-minded. There were some things that she
would not believe even if Aracely said them. It was better to remain
silent.
They parted at the main entrance.
After sending off the guests, Aracely and Winston walked back
together.
Aracely suddenly asked, "Winston, my parents have agreed to our relationship. When are you going to propose to me?"
Winston said in a low voice, "Now."
"Ah?"
Aracely thought that she had heard wrong. She turned around and
saw Winston take out a small square box with a velvet surface from
the pocket of his coat.
Winston let go of Aracely's hand and opened the box.
Inside was an exquisitely polished diamond ring.
"Aracely, will you marry me?"
When Winston said this, his voice was a little tense, as if he was
worried that she would refuse.
Aracely stared at the small box in Winston's hand and fell into
silence.
He's really a good boyfriend. I asked him to propose, and he really
proposed.
But Aracely was not satisfied.
"Winston, don't you think that your proposal is too casual? There
are no flowers, no romance, and you want me to marry you so
dryly?"
"Then I'll go back to the indoor pool to propose," Winston said after a silence.
The flowers, balloons, and red lanterns should still be there.
Aracely kicked him and said angrily, "I thought you were smart.
Why are you so stupid now?"
Winston had just been hot-headed. Now that he came back to his
senses, he also felt that he had been impulsive.
"Then next time. I'll propose after I get ready."
"What? Do you think that proposing is something for practice? Are
you going to be romantic after one more time?"
Winston saw that Aracely was a little angry at this time and deliberately retorted to him. Winston sighed helplessly. "I will find
a married guy to help me next time."
As Winston spoke, he was about to put away the ring.
Before the box was covered, a white hand reached over and wanted
to take the ring in the box.
The lid of the box had already been pressed down by Winston, and
the part of the magnetic suction force was applied to each other, directly catching Aracely's hand.
Following a low cry of alarm, Winston's eyebrows also furrowed
along with Aracely's voice. Winston hurriedly grabbed Aracely's
hand.
"Does it hurt?"
Aracely shook her head. "It doesn't hurt. The force is weak."
Aracely had only cried out because she had been frightened.
Aracely pulled her hand out of Winston's dry and warm palm, took
the ring from his hand, and put it on.
Then, Aracely put the box into her pocket, looked up at Winston,
and opened her arms to him. "Take me home.
"If you treated me well enough tonight, I'll say yes."
There was a smile on Aracely's face, and the two dimples on her
cheeks were extremely sweet.
Winston was infected by Aracely's smile and leaned over to kiss her
lips. His soft voice was also full of pleasure.
"I will definitely serve you well tonight." Aracely's own request was repeated by Winston, and she felt a little
awkward.
Aracely had always been like this. She always talked boldly, but she
was actually shy.
Aracely buried her head in Winston's arms and whispered, "Go
straight back to the bedroom.
"My bedroom."
The smile on Winston's face deepened. "Alright."
When Catherine entered the living room, she happened to meet the
two of them.
Catherine wanted to ask them something, but when she saw her
daughter's shy expression, she instantly understood something and did not go up to disturb them.
"Young people nowadays are full of energy." Catherine sighed
faintly. David walked out from behind Catherine and wrapped his arms
around her waist. "Catherine, are you saying that I, a middle-aged man, can't do it?" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"Old men should behave themselves." Catherine glared at him.
"Then, Mrs. Tarleton, are you going back to your room now?" David smiled and pecked a kiss on his wife's face.
Catherine slapped David's hand away and took two steps forward.
"Yes."
Catherine's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but David successfully caught it. David smiled again and
followed Catherine.
