    Odell fell silent. “I remember.”


    “| hope you could agree to be engaged with me.” Her beautiful eyes widened, staring hopefully at him. Odell pursed his lips, and


    his expression darkened.


    Lily looked at his face and said, “Don’t worry. | won''t force you to marry me. | only want to make my grandfather feel better. After


    we are engaged, if you think I’m unsuitable to be your wife, | will find a way to talk to my grandfather and break off our


    engagement.”


    Odell’s gaze eased as he nced at her. “It will be a hindrance to your future and a waste of time.”


    Lily''s lips curled into a smile, and she shrugged. “As long as Grandfather’s health improves, | don’t care.” Odell’s mouth


    tightened into a thin line as he kept quiet.“ I''ll give you a reply by tomorrow morning.” Lily’s eyes lit up. “Okay, then | won’t disturb


    you anymore.”


    After that, she got up and walked out.


    Odell leaned toward his chair and gloomily closed his eyes.


    Two hourster, Cliff pushed open the door and came in.


    Odell nced at him. “Have you gotten any information?”


    Cliff replied, “Yes. Master Springsteen has been in a terrible state these days. Since your scandal with Miss Springsteen, he


    scolded her and refused to ept any exnation. He dered that he would not meet Miss Springsteen if she didn’t give him a


    satisfactory answer. Yesterday afternoon , he shut himself in his room after waking up. He only lets in the servants that send him


    food and has even refused to see Madam Springsteen.”


    Odell rubbed his temples and asked, “What time is it


    now?”


    Cliff looked at his expression and replied softly, “It’s half past five.”


    Odell got up and walked out while saying, “Postpone the meeting tonight to tomorrow night.”


    Cliff hurriedly replied, “Okay.”


    Odell returned to his home within half an hour.


    The two kids had juste home from school and were in the living room.


    Liam was reading while Isabel sat cross-legged on the floor, ying with a remote-controlled car that Odell had bought for her a


    few days ago.


    Odell walked straight to them. The two kids put down their stuff once they saw him walking over.


    Qiell picked Isabel up from the floor and sat down on the couch beside Liam with her in hisp.


    He said, “I need to tell both of you something.”


    Isabel raised her little chubby face, and Liam looked at him.


    Odell pursed his lips and said, “I’m going to be engaged to a woman.”


    The two kids immediately quieted down. They said nothing and stared at him.


    Seeing that they had not reacted , Odell continued, “We are getting engaged due to other reasons. I’m not marrying her.”


    The kids still kept quiet.


    Odell asked, “Do you understand?”


    Liam replied, “Yes.”
