Chapter 12
After finishing the greetings, Lucas Grey lifted his head and looked at Sylvia Morgan.
She was stunning.
Her looks carried a hint of that classic movie star, Marilyn Monroe. With her curled hair, red lips, and a long spaghetti-strap dress, she was simply eye-catching.
What was strange, though, was that Sylvia Morgan just stared at him without moving. Her expression looked like she had seen a ghost.
Huh?
What was going on?
Not only was Lucas Grey stunned, but everyone else was also exchanging puzzled glances.
Especially Ivan Morgan, who was so embarrassed that he kept coughing to remind his daughter.
His daughter had always been composed and graceful. No matter what occasion she attended or which important figure she met, she handled everything with elegance and earned praise.
Why was she acting so rude today?
Seeing that his daughter still wasn’t responding no matter how much he coughed, he quickly stood up to smooth things over.
“Sylvia, Young Master Grey greeted you. Why didn’t you respond? Are you shy now that you’re suddenly meeting your potential fiancé?”
Only then did Sylvia Morgan snap out of it. She furrowed her brows slightly and said, “Hello, Young Master Grey.”
Susanna Wade laughed. “Why are you calling him Young Master Grey? That sounds so distant. He’s two years older than you. Just call him Brother Lucas.”
Ivan Morgan added, “Then Lucas Grey, you can call her Little Sister Sylvia.”
With the elders encouraging them, Lucas Grey had no choice but to call out, “Little Sister Sylvia.”
[Little Sister my ass. Am I even qualified to call her that? Forget David Fox for a second. Just based on how ruthless this woman is, she would never let me off easy. I’m begging you all, stop playing matchmaker already.]
[Heaven and Earth, I only told my mom I didn’t like Rose White anymore. That shouldn’t be enough to derail the plot this badly.]
“Come, Sylvia, Lukie, sit and chat.”
At Susanna Wade’s invitation, Sylvia Morgan sat back down on the couch.
At the same time, things started to make sense to her.
From the moment she saw Lucas Grey, she had been hearing him mumble to himself.
But she had been staring at him for so long and was sure he hadn’t opened his mouth.
So those words must have been his inner thoughts.
Did he just say her father had heart disease?
Impossible.
Her father’s physical exam three months ago came back clean. This guy had to be talking nonsense.
Still, even if she didn’t believe it, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Once the meeting with the Grey family was over, she would take her father for a more thorough check-up, just to be safe.
Besides her father, this guy even said she was some kind of simp for the male lead, David Fox that she had gone so far as to give up her cultivation and even her life to him.
Ridiculous.
Looking out for your own interests above all else was her lifelong creed.
There was no way she would ever do something so stupid.
But still, why would this guy say such things? And why could she hear his thoughts?
She had to figure it out.
Just then, Lucas Grey spoke. “Mom, we young people believe in dating freely. You arranging introductions like this is a bit awkward. How about this, why don’t we go out and talk for a bit?”
Susanna Wade chuckled. “I never said you two had to get married right now. If you think we’re in the way, go on out. Your Uncle Morgan and I aren’t stopping you.”
“Great!”
Lucas Grey quickly got to his feet.
“Then, Little Sister Sylvia, how about we go grab a coffee?”
Ivan Morgan looked toward his daughter, a bit concerned.
She had always been proud and headstrong. What if she didn’t like Lucas Grey and ended up being rude?
But to his surprise, Sylvia Morgan stood up promptly and even showed a bright, charming smile.
