Chapter 642 You Set Me Up!
Lucia was a bit overwhelmed, but before she could explode, Blake came down from upstairs. He glanced coldly at her, and quickly looked away, not wanting to stare too long.
Dora was also called down by him from upstairs, feeling puzzled. Why would Blake call her down at this moment?
She felt a bit uneasy, sensing that something bad was about to happen.
"Wade, it's getting late today. Shall I have the driver send you home?" Blake spoke, after all, Wade was an outsider and he didn't want outsiders meddling in his family affairs.
Wade understood, and nodded with a smile. "In that case, Uncle Kyte, I'll head back first and visit another day."
"Alright, alright." Blake repeated 'alright' several times, now looking more favorably at Wade.
Indeed, outstanding people attracted other outstanding individuals. Evey was so outstanding, hence she attracted someone equally exceptional like Wade. On the other hand, Lucia...
Initially, he thought Hubert was not a bad choice, but just now seeing their actions in the garden, he felt somewhat displeased with him.
Wade left quickly, and Blake called everyone to the living room.
"Hubert, do you really want to marry Lucia?" Blake didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.
He now felt that Lucia should be married off as soon as possible. If this was delayed, who knew what conflicts might arise.
Hubert nodded, his gaze sincere. "Yes, Uncle Kyte, I really like Lucia and hope you can let me take care of her for the rest of her life."
Blake nodded, satisfied to see his unwavering determination.
Lucia didn't understand why her father brought up this matter again, but she was still somewhat uneasy. "Dad, didn't you say I'm still young, and we should talk about this in a couple of years?"
"You're not that young anymore. It's time for you to get married." Blake didn't care what she said.
"Dad!" Lucia was a bit angry.
Blake raised his hand, cutting off what she was about to say. "Here's the deal, you two can get engaged first, take it slow with the wedding, no rush."
Lucia's face instantly turned pale. Engaged?
Wasn't that the same as marrying Hubert?
Who would want a woman who'd been engaged to someone else?
"Dad, I don't want it so soon." Lucia still refused.
Seeing Blake getting angry, Dora quickly intervened, "It's a different era now. Do you still want to make decisions for Lucia without her consent?"
"How am I making decisions for her? She clearly likes Hubert." Blake was also not pleased. If they both liked each other, they should just get married directly, why the need to make it so complicated?
Dora frowned unhappily. "How do you know she likes him?"
"Auntie, just now Lucia and Hubert were hugging in the garden. Both Dad and I saw it with our own eyes. How could that be fake? If she didn't like him, why would they hug?
"Lucia, don't be shy. If you like Hubert, just say it. Dad won't refuse." Evelyn acted as if Lucia was just too shy to speak up, making Lucia so angry she wanted to hit someone.
No wonder her father brought up this matter again. It turned out Evelyn was behind it all!
She gritted her teeth fiercely, staring at Evelyn. "Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Lucia, what are you talking about? As your sister, of course, I want you to be happy." Evelyn smiled, as if unaware that anyone would think otherwise.
But Lucia and Dora wouldn't believe her, only Blake would believe her words.
"Evelyn! You despicable person! You set me up!" Lucia erupted in anger.
She was sure Evelyn must have deliberately brought Blake to the garden to make him see that scene, just to force her to marry Hubert.
