Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Chapter 727
Thinking about his scandal with her, Odell picked up the phone.
Lily immediately asked, âMaster Carter, did you see the online article?â
She sounded anxious. Odell replied, âYeah. Iâve asked Cliff to handle it. The news will be taken down by tonight.â âIâm also
handling it on my side, but | did not expect my family to see it,â Lily said glumly. Since it had happened because of him, Odell
asked, âDo you need me to personally explain the situation to them?â âNo. Iâve tried explaining it, but my grandfather is quite
stubborn in his old age and has refused to listen to me,â She sighed as she said this. âIt's okay. I'll think of something and not
disturb your rest.â Odell agreed.
Two days later, at the Carter Tower.
Odell sat behind his desk as usual as he went through some documents.
Suddenly, someone knocked on his door.
âCome in,â He said.
Cliff pushed the door open as he walked in and said respectfully , âMaster Carter , Miss Springsteen is here. She said that she
has to see you about an urgent matter.â
An urgent matter?
Odell frowned. âLet her in.â
âYes.â
He continued reading the document.
When the door opened again and Lily came in, Odell put
aside the document in his hand.
His indifferent gaze swept over her. âPlease have a seat.â
âThank you.â Lily smiled at him, but it was clear that something was on her mind. She sat on the couch that was nearby and said,
âMaster Carter, | didnât mean to disturb you, but | have no other choice.â
Odell said, âPlease get straight to the point.â
âOkay.â Lily sucked in a deep breath. Her exquisite little face faced him and said, âLet's get engaged.â
Odellâs brows furrowed. He said in a deep voice, âMiss Springsteen, are you joking with me?â
Lily did not back down from his intimidating gaze and replied, âMaster Carter, Iâm serious this time. | want you to get engaged
with me.â âI do not plan to remarry.â âI know, but | have no other choice.â Lily sighed and said, âDo you remember our scandal a
few days ago on the Internet?â
âNothing remains on the Internet now.â
âBut my grandfather, as well as some of my relatives, still remember it. They think something happened between us that night in
Lush Heaven, especially my grandfather. You know him. He is conservative and stubborn and refuses to listen to my explanation.
He thinks that Iâve been fooling around outside and fainted in anger yesterday. He even refused to meet me today. If we do not
have an official relationship, I'm afraid he wonât meet me until heâs on his deathbed.â
Odell was silent for a while. âI can explain it to him.â âIt's useless. Grandfather has shut himself in his room and refused to see
anyone, even my grandmother. | believe he'll only meet with you if we get engaged and you ask to see him as my fiance.â Odell
frowned deeply.
Master Springsteen was indeed stubborn and conservative, but he did not plan to ever remarry.
Once he was engaged to Lily, marriage would then soon be next on their agenda.
Although Odell had no feelings for her, he was aware of her feelings for him. It was just that he did not want to bother with it.
Moreover, Madam Springsteen and his Grand-aunt Ramona had always tried to set them up anyway.
However, he was indeed the cause of this scandal.
âMaster Carter, do you remember that on that morning two days ago, at Lush Heaven, you personally granted me a request?â
Lily suddenly said.
