Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

The old raised her head and looked at Bounty.

“Why would I want to go back to Canada? Or the Imperial city as you all call it. Deacon’s father is a wealthy business man. And what about Marvin? He’s the youngest academician, and he’s just twenty. But how about Deacon? You all are aware of his condition, but what have either of you done to help him?”

“Has his father fulfilled his responsibility as a father to him? You’re his aunt and you’re a teacher, have you ever taught Deacon anything? Have you ever been interested in tutoring him? Marvin is engaged in the medical field. saving the dying and wounded. Has he ever thought about saving his own brother?” Mrs. Samantha fired angrily. “I don’t need y’all to do anything for Deacon anymore, but please, just don’t make him get ***faster than he should. Yall gave up on that child. Why are you still thinking about his actions? Do you guys still wanna send him to the psychiatric hospital?”

Bounty’s face suddenly turned pale. She interrupted cruelly,

“How is it my fault that that woman gave birth to him? I still haven’t forgotten how she seduced my husband. I was seven months pregnant, I rolled down the stairs and injured myself! I lost my child and my uterus was damaged forever! That’s the reason why I can never conceive in my life!” Bounty yelled amidst sobs as tears welled up in her eyes.

“I’m in my forties, ***. Women my age already have grown children, but I was deprived of being a mother. Have you ever pitied me **?” The tears flowed relentlessly down

Bounty’s cheeks.

“Bounty…”Mrs. Samantha called tenderly.

A light knock landed on the door, disrupting the sad atmosphere.

The old lady and Bounty both turned their heads to to direction of the door. At the entrance, a tall and handsome figure stood. Deacon had returned. He was clothed in a black suit.

The light at the entrance was dim, and Deacon’s handsome face was hidden in the dimness.

Bounty stiffened. She quickly raised her right hand and wiped away her tears.

Deacon walked in with steady steps. He hooked his lips and smiled,

“Aunt, why didn’t you call me when you arrived LA? I would have picked you up.”

Bounty pursed her lips stiffly.

“No, there was no need for that. I was afraid that you were busy with work.”

Deacon raised his slender fingers and unbuttoned the buttons of his suit. His handsome face was indifferent.

The butler. Mr. Henry, respectfully handed a warm and wet handkerchief to Deacon. Deacon’s aura was that of a rich big boss in the business world.

Bounty as well was not a regular individual. She could not forget her misfortune, thus the reason she never liked. Deacon as a nephew. However, she couldn’t deny that Deacon

Deacon had perfectly inherited the Armstead family’s business traits.

As the eldest son of the Armstead family, Deacon had used a huge sum which was gifted to him by his grandma to opening multiple crude oil businesses. In few months, his businesses flourished, yielding massive profits. Seeing that Deacon was good at business, his father had pushed a few poorly business project into his hands. As expected, Deacon managed the project perfectly. Deacon went on to become a business genius in no time.

Bounty still remembered that Deacon had developed his businesses by himself, without seeking for help from the Armstead family.

Deacon was most similar to his father, the business emperor. Deacon didn’t only inherit his father’s business skills, he also inherited his handsome facial features, Even his calm and cold temperament was inherited from his father. Deacon wiped his hands with the warm handkerchief. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Bounty’s face.

“I can’t be too busy for my aunt. I hope you’ll stay in LA for a while. I’ll ask my secretary to free up my schedule, then I’ll take you around L.A. You know, to show you around.”

Bounty quickly shook her head,

“Deacon, don’t bother. I came to LA because I have something to 10. And, your brother is also in LA.”

Deacon furrowed his brows.

“Marvin is also in LA?”

“Yes, I’ve already called him to come over. I don’t get why he’s so late. Kids of this days.

Let me give him a call.” As she spoke about Marvin, Blounty’s eyes were filled with love.

But with Deacon, the love wasn’t visible.

Bounty took out her phone and was about to make a call. But suddenly, the Villa door opened and a handsome figure leaped into view.

Marvin had arrived.

Bounty’s eyes shone with happiness. She quickly greeted,

“Marvin, why are you here so late? Come here.” She threw her arms wide. Marvin strode steadily and got into her embrace.

Marvin disengaged from the hug almost immediately.

“Marvin, go on and great grandma.”

The two sons of the Armstead family, Deacon and Marvin, are both proud, yet talented.

And they both possessed a cold and domineering aura.

Marvin walked closer to the old lady and stared at her with his cold black eyes. He diverted his gaze and stared at Deacon.

“Grandma, brother.” Marvin called out.

Deacon stared at Marvin and said gently,

“When you did you arrive LA? Why didn’t you visit?”

Bounty chipped in hastily,

“Marvin hasn’t been here for long. And he’ll be returning to Canada soon.”

Mrs. Samantha smiled tenderly.

“Okay, everyone, settle down. We haven’t sat together like this for a while. Let’s just sit and chitchat with each other.” Bounty and Marvin sat on the sofa. Bounty smiled and broke the silence,

“***, Deacon, Marvin has reached the age of marriage. He’s ***and doesn’t spare girls a glance. My sister-in-law is quite anxious about his marriage. I know a talented medical girl, and I’m throwing a party just so Marvin could meet her. I really do think that they’ll be a perfect match!” Bounty clasped her hands as she spoke excitedly.

Old Mrs. Samantha had taken away Marvin’s and Oriana’s engagement token and had perfectly planned a substitute marriage in which Oriana married her favorite grandson,

Deacon.

Now that she was told that Marvin was going on a blind date, her eyes had lit up and she said happily,

“That’s really great, Bounty. You’re perfect at making the right choices. I’m certain that the girl will be a hone match for Marvin!”

“***, that medical talented medical girl is quite outstanding. She was sent to the first class medical college in the Imperial at the age of thirteen. At the age of fifteen, she received a double master’s degree. Setting a new record in the entire medical industry.

That year, I had personally invited her to study at Holy Nile academy, but she had declined, because she didn’t want to go too far away from home. The girl I speak off is very smart and has a perfect character.”

“That sounds amazing. She seems like a good match for Marvin. I won’t attend the dinner party. Deacon, please go on iny behalf. Do well to give me feedback on how it went.” Mrs Samantha muttered happily.

Mrs. Samantha really didn’t care about who the girl was, and what her achievements were. As long as it wasn’t her Oriana, then she was fine.

Old Mrs. Samantha never felt like she had stolen Marvin’s bride for Deacon. The engagement token was originally made by Oriana’s mother for Deacon. Oriana was initially betrothed to Deacon.

However, the old lady was still afraid. She was certain that if the Armstead family were aware of what she had done, there was bound to be the opposite of peace in the

Armstead family. Thus the reason she protected Oriana’s background as much as she could.

As for Marvin, he was also her grandson. The old lady knew that Marvin had Bounty, and she was bound to make the right choices for him.

Deacon who sat beside the old lady nodded approvingly.

“Okay, grandma. I’ll attend on your behalf. Once I’m home I’ll let you know all that happened.”

“Thank you my dear.” Mrs. Samantha responded with a smile.

Deacon lowered his eyes and stared at his precious steel watch, which was clasped perfectly on his wrist.

“Aunt, Marvin, you both can stay for dinner. I’ll go ahead.”

“Deacon, where are you going this late?” Bounty questioned.

Deacon replied softly,

“I’m going to pick up my wife. She’s waiting for me.”

Marvin was speechless the entire time. But immediately Deacon mentioned” My wife”

Marvin had raised his eyes to look at Deacon.

“Deacon, I heard that you’re married. And I also heard that your bride only graduated from high school.” Bounty muttered with a frown, obviously not satisfied with Deacon’s choice.

“Well, she just returned from the orphanage. She doesn’t really have any qualifications.

She really hasn’t had a grasp on the real world yet.”

Old Mrs Samantha waved her hand in a bid to end the topic.

“Bounty, what do they say about love, my dear? You really can’t understand, can you?”
