Chapter 1203 Marriage of Convenience
They noticed how shocked and confused Alaric was. Alana said, “It’s a long story. Let’s have dinner, and I’ll tell you about it later slowly.”
In a trance, Alaric was about to walk away when he was stopped by Jamarion, “Do me a favor.”
Alaric replied shortly, “What?”
Jamarion explained, “Keep it a secret for us temporarily.”
Alana sneered, “Well, you know that you will be in trouble if my father knows about it? So, you want to hide it now?”
Jamarion held Alana’s hand and shook his head, “We didn’t intend to hide it. We want to tell Julian about it ourselves.”
It was disrespectful of him if Julian heard about it from someone else.
Alaric snorted, “Let me give you a word.”
Jamarion raised his eyebrows and heard Alaric say, “You are very brave.”
Alaric admired Jamarion’s courage to be with Alana, the noble and unapproachable girl. All her peers knew how much her father, Julian, loved and cared for her.
Jamarion laughed at his words and said with confidence, “It’s my love for Alana that makes me brave.”
He wasn’t afraid of facing any challenges as long as he could be with Alana.
Alaric previously felt that their love relationship was unreal. But after hearing Jamarion’s words and looking at the determination in his eyes, Alaric was aware that it was real.
He looked up at Jamarion with a serious look. ‘Jamarion, who was three years younger than me, was now as tall as I am. He’s young and intelligent with a high IQ, giving the impression that he’s an upper-class elite, and his eyes are filled with calmness and confidence.’Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Like Julian, Alaric used to think that no one in the world deserved his sister. But now he felt that Jamarion was a perfect match for his sister in every way, except for his younger age.
With this thought, Alaric gave him a thumbs up.
The three then entered the private room. The peers were surprised to see Alana and Jamarion enter hand in hand, except for Christina and Bella who knew their bet. But they were slightly surprised that they would begin a love relationship suddenly.
“You are…” Christina was surprised.
Jamarion responded, “I’m in love with Alana, and I’m sorry that we can’t have dinner with you tonight because …”
When saying, he glanced at Alana beside him, and then he held her hand tightly again and continued, “We are going to go to the Hughes’ and tell Alana’s parents about our relationship.”
It was sincere of him to tell Julian instead of having Julian know it from someone else.
Although it was a welcome dinner for Jamarion, they wouldn’t stop him since he had something more important to do.
“I’ll make amends another day,” Jamarion said and walked away with Alana.
The rest sat down after they had calmed down. Alaric was a bit distracted. He leaned back in his chair listlessly and said, “When did they start a love relationship?”
Christina rolled his eyes and replied, “Come on, they spent two years abroad together. It’s not strange that they should fall in love with each other.”
Perhaps because his sister had been in the country for a long time, Alaric had forgotten that his sister and Jamarion had connections with each other abroad.
He took a tumble and nodded, “I see.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bella said lightly, “Jamarion has liked Alana since several years ago.”
Alaric almost fell off his chair at her words. He said in shock, “He has liked my sister for years? How old was he then, brat!”
Bella added, “So, we don’t need to worry about them at all. I believe he can achieve the future Alana wants.”
Like her mother, Jean, Bella made others feel that she was unemotional, had a good insight into many things, and always kept her head clear.
After hearing her words, Benedict, who kept silent, suddenly looked up at her and asked, “How do you know so much about Jamarion’s personal affairs? Do you have private contacts with him?”
Bella smiled faintly, “Alana told us about it.”
She felt that his words were baffling. It seemed that he was concerned about whether she and Jamarion had any personal contact.
But Benedict’s words reminded her that maybe she should talk to him about the marriage of convenience after Alana and Jamarion began a love relationship.
Though she was two years younger than Alana and only 21 this year, it was time for her to plan for her marriage. If Benedict disagreed with her proposal, she could look for someone else instead.
Thinking of this, she looked up at Benedict and said, “Benedict, I have something to tell you. Let’s go out and talk.”
Benedict’s black eyes paused on her face for a few seconds, and then he raised his eyebrows, stood up, and walked out first.
“Hey, you two are not in a relationship, are you?” Alaric asked in shock.
Why did his peers fall in love secretly so soon?
This thought made Alaric a bit depressed. Ordinary people could fall in love whenever he wanted to, while he, a popular star, would lose many fans if he was in love.
After Benedict and Bella walked out of the private room, Benedict did not stop but continued to stride outside. Bella did not say anything and followed him to a quiet courtyard outside.
It was freezing to talk outside in winter, especially when she had just come out of the heated room. Even in her overcoat, Bella trembled.
Benedict noticed her action and raised his hand to take off his overcoat, but Bella hastily stopped him, “Don’t bother, I’m not so cold. I just need some time to adapt to it.”
She didn’t know why Benedict brought her outside when they could talk in the corridor.
Thinking of that, she felt that Benedict was not very considerate. If she was with him in the future, she was afraid that he would not be a considerate partner.
Benedict explained, “Sorry, I felt hot in the private room just now. Though I didn’t know what you wanted to talk to me about, I should better recover some composure in the cold air.”
“I mean, I was burning with envy just now.”
“I felt envious of Jamarion, for he was finally together with his beloved girl.”
