Chapter 2705 - 178: Dating
Abraham Redington once said he would never accept Aidan Lucas’s Royal Palace.
Abraham Redington once said if he were to marry Molly Wellington, it would have to wait until five years later.
But now, the words he once said have been contradicted by his own actions.
To spare Molly Wellington from workplace gossip and to get closer to her, he flew to the Royal Palace Headquarters immediately after leaving the villa that day and went to the top floor to meet Aidan Lucas.
The father and son closed the office door and negotiated for a few hours.
In the end, not only would Abraham Redington take over the Royal Palace Branch, but if he successfully marries Molly Wellington in the future, he must also agree to become CEO of the Royal Palace Headquarters for Mr. Lucas.
By then, Mr. Lucas would be elevated to the Chairman position, allowing him to enjoy a leisurely life, spending all his time with his beloved wife.
All the children of the Lucas family own shares in the Royal Palace.
Business matters are left to Abraham Redington, and everyone only needs to receive dividends at the end of the year.
Additionally, Mr. Lucas spoils his daughters rotten, with Lulu and Yana’s shares being more than those of Ben Lucas and Abbie combined.
In other words, Abraham Redington, as the Royal Palace CEO, works tirelessly every day, but ultimately, more of it is for supporting his two sisters.
Of course, Abraham Redington does not mind caring for his sisters, but he is born with a love of freedom, unwilling to be bound.
Therefore, for years, he preferred to be outside managing and developing the Loyalty Group he founded, sympathizing with his grandparents and uncle by overseeing the Reddington Group, rather than touching the family affairs of the Lucas family.
But now, because of Molly Wellington, he sought them out and lowered his head.
Willingly taking over what he once resisted so much.
The man embraced Molly Wellington from behind, and even as she repeatedly tried to stomp him with her high heels, he didn’t let go.
"Molly... I’m taking back my words from back then. I always thought I was rational and cold enough to get used to days without you. I thought five years would pass quickly... it was my arrogance. I thought even if I left in a fit of anger, because you liked me so much, after leaving for five years and coming back, you would surely be waiting in the same place."
Holding Molly Wellington, Abraham Redington slowly spoke with a slightly raspy and sexy voice the words he had hidden in his heart all these years.
"But in reality, five years were extremely difficult... Seeing that Loyalty Group had an acquisition case in H city, I deliberately came over, because I anticipated perhaps I could encounter you.
I just wanted to take a look and leave, like meeting in the club that night, keeping a cold and distant attitude, waiting until five years had passed before appearing before you again. I... also want dignity, unwilling to let my words be overturned and humiliated.
Unfortunately, some people become indispensable after just one meeting.
Molly... I... was wrong.
I miss you, really miss... wanting to hold you right now, bind you with a ring, and start over with you.
Molly... I love you... marry me."
Abraham Redington, perhaps in a lifetime, has never spoken such long words.
He enclosed her from behind, holding her tightly, whispering these words in her ear with a low and hoarse voice.
The always proud man, at this moment, didn’t even dare to look at the woman’s face.
He feared hearing her refusal, feared she would say she no longer loved him, no longer waited at the same spot for him.
After spending time together in the villa, Abraham Redington was no longer as certain about Molly Wellington as he once was.
Just because he wasn’t certain enough, he hastily tried to bind her with a diamond ring, not hesitating to lower his head to Mr. Lucas, he still came to the Royal Palace, to be by her side.
Who knows how long he waited until he finally heard the woman’s soft and slightly trembling voice—
"Marry... no way..."
Indeed...
The man’s ice-blue eyes dimmed slightly.
"But... we can try dating first."
