Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage
“Deacon, you’re the eldest son of the Armstead family, and you’re married to a lady who only graduated from high school?” Bounty shook her head unbelievably.
“***, if your father finds out, he would definitely be angry. And your father was already searching for a bride for you. The lady your father had in mind was the daughter of one of his rich friends…”
Before Bounty could complete her sentence, Deacon had already stood up. He interrupted
Bounty indifferently,
“My father has never cared about me. And as expected, I don’t need him to handle my marriage. I alone make the decision.”
“Aunt, Marvin, I’ll go ahead.” Deacon touched his pocket to confirm his car keys. Once he was certain that his car keys were indeed In his pocket, he walked out from the door and left the villa.
Bounty quickly turned to look at her mother.
“****, you really don’t care about this issue, do you? The Armstead family is a wealthy family. How could Deacon marry a nobody?”
The old let out a laugh and replied.
“I approved of this marriage, Bounty. If my son isn’t satisfied with it, he can come directly to me.”
Bounty suddenly went mute. She knew better arguing with her mother.
After Deacon had left, Marvin didn’t want to stay for dinner. On their way out of the villa,
Bounty whispered to Marvin,
“Marvin, your brother and grandmother really are unbelievable. How can they marry a regular girl for Deacon?. And I also feel like they’re hiding something. They’re quite mysterious, as though they’re hiding some sort of treasure. It’s really funny though.”
Bounty was the principal of Holy Nile academy, and the daughter of the Armstead family. She only mingled with wealthy and influential people.
Marvin lowered his handsome eyelids and didn’t utter a word.
Bounty held Marvin’s hand and said,
“Marvin, the standard of marrying from a rich family will never be used on you. You can marry whosoever you like, as long as she has a clean background, and she’s also talented. Oh, I forgot to add, and the woman isn’t ***. Then she’s a perfect match for you.”
Bounty sighed as she remembered something.
“Marvin, your fiance doesn’t know that she’ll be your fiance. She is Joyce Brown’s daughter. Joyce Brown is a legendary woman. Probably no one knows that Joyce is the actual founder of Holy Nile. But after she was successful in establishing the school, she handed it to me and disappeared with her daughter. Joyce’s daughter really doesn’t know what the future holds for her. You and Joyce’s daughter will be a perfect match.
That I’m certain off.”
Marvin wasn’t very interested in topics like this. He withdrew his arm and muttered,
“Aunt, I’ll go ahead.”
Looking at Marvin’s cold and handsome figure, Bounty quickly reminded.
“Marvin, don’t forget about the dinner tomorrow.”
Before Monica could complete her speech, Marvin had already disappeared from her sight.
Bounty smiled as she thought about Oriana. She really did like Oriana.
Deacon was driving along the road. His phone rang out and it was a call from the old lady
Samantha. Deacon swiped the screen and answered the call.
“Hello, grandma.”
“Deacon, don’t take your aunt’s words to heart, okay?” The old lady’s soothing voice passed over.
Deacon looked at the traffic behind him through the rearview mirror, then he turned the steering wheel.
“Grandma. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
The old lady sighed,
“I’m sorry for all what you’ve been through my child. ”
Deacon’s face was indifferent,
“Grandma, I grew up quite early. I no longer need my parents.’
Mrs. Samantha let out a sigh and hung up. Deacon kept the phone in the passenger’s seat and continued driving. Soon. he had arrived at the Ivory Council.
Deacon got out of the car and didn’t go in. Instead, he leaned against his luxurious car lazily. He took out his phone and sent a message to his wife. Once he was done, he threw the phone into his pocket.
Deacon took out a cigarette and lit it with a lighter. As he awaited Oriana.
In the pharmacy of the Ivory Council, Oriana received a message from Deacon, informing her that he had arrived. Oriana quickly ran out and walked out of the institute’s gate. At a glance, she spotted Deacon who was leaning against his car.
Deacon was clothed in a black suit, but the buttons of the suit were opened, revealing the white shirt underneath. The shirt was tied by an expensive black belt around his trousers. Deacon was smoking a cigarette with one hand, and the other hand was in his pocket.
Oriana slowly tiptoed behind him and covered his eyes with her hands.
“Guess who I am.”
Deacon stopped smoking. Oriana’s soft voice sounded directly into his ears. He pursed his lips and responded,
“My Mrs. Armstead.”
Oriana let go of his eyes and Deacon turned to face her. Oriana’s palm-sized face was resting on his stiff shoulders.
Deacon’s heart suddenly softened.
Oriana looked at him and muttered playfully,
“Mr. Armstead, you didn’t even notice me. Which vixen are you thinking of?”
Deacon reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. His thin lips fell on her long hair as he kissed her.
“You, Oriana. It’s you that I think about.”
Oriana reached out and hugged his fine waist.
“Mr. Armstead, what’s wrong with you? Why are you unhappy? Didn’t you just return from the Red Villa? Did you do something bad and grandma scolded you?”
Deacon narrowed his handsome eyes and questioned,
“Who said that I’m unhappy?”
“Then if you’re happy, smile, don’t be cold.” Oriana pinched his handsome cheeks with her hands.
Deacon looked down and a smile appeared on his face.
“That’s good.” Oriana commended and pressed her face against his strong chest to show her happiness.“Hello, grandma.”
Deacon threw the cigarette b utt into the trash can and held her in his arms with both hands.
Her fragrance gave him a sense of security and belonging. The feeling was unclear, it was as though he had been searching and longing for it all his life.
An expensive car stopped slowly across the street, and the driver’s window slowly slid down, revealing Marvin’s handsome face.
Marvin looked at the couple who were embracing each other under the streetlight. After watching them for some seconds, he stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.
Deacon hugged Oriana for a while.
“You’re hungry. Come, I’ll take you to go have the seafood dinner.”
“But, suddenly I don’t want a seafood dinner.”
“Then what do you wanna eat?”
Oriana held onto his hand,
“Mr. Armstead, come with me!”
Oriana took Deacon to the pharmacy and then took out a flask.
“Come eat with me.” She beckoned on Deacon.
Deacon’s heart softened. Looking at her cute and sweet face, Deacon knew that she was trying all she could to cheer him up.
“Okay.” Deacon mumbled.
Oriana went to the microwave and warmed the food.
“Mr. Armstead, our institute’s food is awesomely delicious. Many people come here just for the food. It’s definitely not worse than what chef Maria would have prepared. But if you doubt, you can try it out.” Oriana scooped a spoonful of rice and directed it to Deacon’s mo uth.
Although Deacon had zero appetite, he obediently opened his mo uth and received the spoon of rice.
“Isn’t it delicious?” Oriana questioned with poring eyes.
