Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

With the last trace of hope on her mind, Lydia was waiting for his reply.

Euan glanced at her coldly and without emotion. His face was devoid of any expression.

However, the reluctance and detachment was obvious as shown by his chilly eyes.

"Yes."

His reply was short and clipped, and his determination even caused her to have a drastic change of expression.

Was he really not going to ask her to stay except for their child?

Lydia's eyes became watery and they broke free, washing her cheeks. Her tender face was now glowing with red because of feeling heartbroken as she gnashed her teeth, "Do you mean that you are staying by my side because you care about this child?" Lydia shut her eyes and allowed her tears to soak her delicate face. Her face was losing its luster and her eye lines were becoming blotched.

Euan didn't even frown but he also wasn't in a hurry to respond. Only when Lydia opened her eyes again he started to ask, "Do you think that I care so much about this child?"

Euan's tone was mechanical which made him sound like he wasn't talking to a woman who was bearing his own child.

Lydia felt her back becoming tense as her soft hands balled into fists, "Euan... What do you mean?"

Euan tossed the document in his hands onto the floor, which caused Lydia to slip a little.

"What do I mean? Do you think I wouldn't learn of that with how much time we have spent together?"

The man's cold and distant features brought out his vicious conviction as he studied her expression. His depthless gaze seemed to be boring a hole through this woman's heart.

Lydia suddenly ramped up her crying and her shoulders were jerking up and down wildly following her wails and sobs, "Euan, what do you mean? Are you suspecting that this child does not belong to you?"

Euan watched her cry and his brows couldn't help forming creases on his forehead.

"Aren't you even more clean than me on that? Do you even need to ask me?" Was his cold reply.

Lydia's wailing was even more violent, "Euan, how can you say that? How can you suspect me? This child is definitely your child, and I always wanted to tell you about that night when you were drunk, you thought that I was Riley. When we were doing it, you kept calling her name."

Euan's brows furrowed together all of a sudden!

"Euan... How can I bring myself to reveal such things? You were on top of me, yet you were calling her name! However, this child is really yours. That night, you had done it a lot of times, and then..."

Euan clenched his fists, "And then what?"

Veins were bulging on his back!

"Then... I couldn't stand it anymore and fainted. When I awoke, you were still sleeping, and I had left the hotel urgently because of a job. You... Don't you remember a single thing?"

Getting drunken? Hotel? Done it multiple times?

Why did Euan never have any memories of that? He only recalled Lydia called him a lot of times to ask for his accompaniment, but he never recalled himself drinking like crazy. How could he get drunk if he didn't drink?

"Euan, even if... even if this child never existed, I am still the one... who has saved your life five years ago. How can you treat me like this?"

She had the nerve to bring up something from five years ago. She was courting death!

"Lydia! Do you know what you are talking about now?" Euan suddenly howled in a low and menacing one.

Five years ago, he was met with an accident in America, and this matter was covered from the knowledge of the public. Even the George family never learnt of this.

Coincidentally, Lydia who were then still not famous was having a vacation in America, and she happened to save his life and sent him to the hospital. After being in a comatose state for three days and three nights, he finally woke up to the sight of Lydia sitting in front of his bed and with tears in her eyes.

"Of course I know what I am talking about! Euan, from the cold treatment you have always been directing towards me, I can see clearly that you are just using me to make Riley angry. I know all of that, yet I am willing to become your tool. That is because I really love you!" Her eye lines were completely blurred by her tears, and the black blotch was spreading on her pretty face.

"In the past five years, whenever you needed me, I would always appear. Whenever you were angry, happy or when you needed to do it, I never had any complain. Euan, why aren't you choosing me in the end?"

Euan's brows were so tightly knitted together that deep wrinkles were visible on his forehead.

He was indebted to Lydia, therefore he had invested in her and made her pathway clear so that she could become the most sought after actress in the entertainment industry today.

However, Euan wasn't someone who would start having feelings for a woman just because of something like this.

After that incident, he never initiated any contact with her, and he would only contact her if it was some matters regarding work. He would simply acknowledge her gratitude but never responding.

He always turned a blind eye to her flattery and invitation.

If he was so touched to the point that he even wanted to marry her into the family just because she had accompanied him in front of the hospital bed for a few days, he would become a laughing stock in the eyes of others! However, it seemed that Lydia couldn't move on from it, and she was even using this as a bargaining chip to make him feel bad.

Haha!

"Do you really think that by saving me, you earned the right to marry me and become the young miss of the George family?" He asked this very calmly despite knowing that Lydia had been very thoughtful and faithful to him during the last five years. Her deeds could never be erased. Lydia continued to let her tears fall as she staggered to his front and squatted down by his legs. She hugged his legs lightly and replied, "Isn't that enough? I have saved you and accompanied you for three days and three nights. I have loved you for five years. What about her? What has she ever done for you?"

What had she ever done for him?

At the moment they first met, he knew he had fallen for her.

Could he reason with something such as love?

"I don't love you."

His voice was low. In the face of Lydia's love, he could only provide this answer. Nothing could change the fact that he had no feelings for her.

Lydia wiped off some of her tears as she took a good look at his face, "You want to choose someone who doesn't love you instead of me, who loves you very much? You want to choose a woman who is like a slut?"

With a loud slapping sound, Euan landed a ferocious slap on her cheeks, "Who gives you the nerve to say that?"

Lydia clutched her face and laughed bitterly, "Euan, you are just as pitiful as me. I love you, but you don't love me. You love her, but she doesn't love you. I can't have you, and you also can't have her."

As she continued to ramble on, she was chuckling and sobbing at the same time, "Euan, it has been five years. The best part of my life has been with you, yet you are really going to do me like this? If you are really that heartless, I can even abort this child and will never have anything to do with you anymore."

Lydia climbed up from the floor and left the study room without looking back.

Euan rubbed his temples with an agonized expression on his face. He continued to do that until the door of the study was shut.

Damn it!

If love was something that could be measured using kindness, then one hundred Riley wouldn't even hold a candle to a single Lydia.

However, he loved Riley, and it was this single condition that rendered Lydia unable to do anything else.

Euan wasn't someone complete coldhearted. In the face of Lydia, he still had a tinge of pitifulness for her.

She even mentioned that incident from five years ago without caring for her life, which meant she was already at wit's end.

In the bedroom, Lydia carefully cleaned all traces of tears and dirt on her face while she took her phone, "Jeanne, I have done what you have told me. I don't know whether it would work though, since this matter from five years ago is always his weak spot. If I don't succeed today, I am afraid I will be shunned from the George family forever. I am really scared..."

"What are you afraid of? You won't go wrong doing what I have told you. Euan and the party have allowed you to throw your tantrum, which means that they are not completely oblivious and coldhearted. You have pointed out the fact that you have saved his life and together with your child, do you think he could remain unfazed? You just need to wait for him to come to find you."

"Thank you, Jeanne! You are really resourceful. Luckily I told you about what happened five years ago."

"But, Lydia, why is he hiding this incident from five years ago? His family doesn't know about this too, right?"

"I am not sure about the reason, but at that time he was really seriously injured. He almost died in the operation theater, seeing that his heart is the one getting affected..."

"Alright then, you don't need to dig further. Remember, you can only mention this once, and no more. In the future, don't ever bring this up again while you continue to be kind to him and move him to tears. When he can't leave your side anymore, as long as you can capture for yourself the prestige of the title of being the young lady of the George family, you will be set for life. Even if you might get divorced in the future, your value will skyrocket. Do you get it?"

At this moment, there was a light knocking on the door!

"Jeanne, he's here! Later!"

After hanging up the phone, Lydia immediately shifted her expression to one of sadness. She slowly opened the door, "Euan..."

""Yes." It was a calm response.

"You..."

"You can't joke with something important like your child."

Lydia instantly looked jubilant, "Yes, I will listen to you, Euan. Euan, this bed is really big, and I only need one half of it. Won't you sleep here? I won't disturb you..."

Her gaze was one of longing as she tried to make him stay.

He glanced at the huge bed and thought of the past. Where Lydia was sleeping now used to belong to Riley. There were a few medical books on the shelf, and they were now replaced with Lydia's photos. "Alright."

At the same time, in the study room, Riley continued to fumble around with the printer. Damn it, how did this unfathomable printer work?

"Sophia, where's the young master?"

This information is important, so she wanted to print it out for note-taking purposes. Despite that, Euan was nowhere to be seen.

Sophia bit her lips, "The young master... has gone to the bedroom on the second floor."

Riley looked in the direction of the bedroom on the second floor, and the portable disk in her hand was almost snapped in half by her.

She took in a deep breath and nodded, "I see."

She was not wrong. A man like Euan would still fall for someone like Lydia.

The next day, after Riley had woken up, she saw Euan coming down from the second floor. He was wearing a beige casual pants and a grey buttoned-up shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He was exuding a noble aura.

She was standing in front of the stairs, so naturally she had to look up at him. This man's appearance was like a huge wave crashing onto him, sweeping over her tender heart.

He was too impressive and tasteful, and she couldn't avert her gaze.

She hastily gave way.

"Young master, your breakfast is ready. Do you want to enjoy it now?"

The corner of his eyes swept over Riley as he answered, "Let's wait for Miss Saunders to come down."

"Yes, young master."

Riley carried her bag looking like she wanted to go out, "Sophia, I am not eating at home today."

"It is the weekends. Why are you in a hurry to go somewhere? What are you doing later?"

The weekends?

She forgot!

"Overtime work."

"Reject it. From now on, reject every overtime work that occurs during weekends."

Riley stopped and turned towards him, "This is my own work."

"What is the purpose of work? Don't tell me you just want to save lives. Aren't you working just to earn money? By marrying into the George family, I don't need you to flaunt yourself like that just to earn a little money." Flaunting herself?

Euan was obviously still angered by the fact that she was seen together with William yesterday!

"Mr. George, you are going to be someone's husband very soon. Why are you still forcing your values on me?"

He strode past a huge vast and stood in front of her. With his body bent, he frowned, "I have told you many times, the name on my marriage certificate can only be you."

This sounded like a huge slap across her face. Her?

He just got off Lydia's body, and he was planning to go into bed with her?

"If the marriage does not base on love, this marriage certificate means nothing to me."

"How can you be so sure that love isn't the reason?"

Was love the reason? Why didn't she realize then?

"How are you going to deal with that one upstairs? Mr. George, are you going to just suddenly deny everything that happened after having fun with her whole night?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
