She clicked on the speakerphone and said, "Jane says that she likes you and after all, she is my sister. I don't want things to get too ugly, so I want to hear your thoughts."
As expected!
Vincent's heart skipped a beat. He was stunned for a moment. He suppressed his anger towards Jane, and said in half-joking tone, "Is...is this a joke? Jane likes me? But, I am clearly your fiancé, her brother-in-law."
Upon hearing Vincent's outright denial of their relationship, Jane trembled sharply.
Ariana hesitated a little, "Although I also find it a bit sudden, Jane really likes you. I think, I should seriously consider what you said."
The moment Vincent thought of the possibility that Ariana might misunderstand him, and go to Lambert, he bit back his anger towards Jane, and gently said: "Ari, wait for me at home!"
She paused, and subsequently, Vincent had already hung up the phone.
Ariana subconsciously looked at Georgia and Jane, not knowing what to say for a while.
Sure enough, after a while, Vincent really did rush to her house.
Georgia felt a bit of a headache and wanted to tell the guard to simply close the door and not see him.
At this time, Gilbert, who had just returned from a morning walk in the garden, saw the troubled looks on the faces of all the women in the house, and frowned, "What's going on?"
Georgia hesitated for a moment, but ended up telling Gilbert.
Upon hearing that Ariana had an ambiguous relationship with Lambert and that Jane liked Vincent, Gilbert's furrowed eyebrows really hard.
"Let him in!"
Although he was not very satisfied with Vincent's behavior at yesterday's dinner party, Vincent was after all his good friend's son, so Gilbert still wanted to give him a chance.
Moreover, after all, this is a matter of the young. Over interference is not a good thing.
Since Gilbert had it arranged this way, Georgia had nothing more to say.
However, the atmosphere in the room became even more oppressive because of Gilbert's presence.
When Vincent was allowed in, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the oppressive scene before him.
He kept his expression neutral and greeted them calmly: "Uncle, aunt!"
Gilbert and Georgia nodded slightly in response.
"I’ve heard about everything. After all, it's a matter of young people. We as elders should not interfere too much. However, I want to see what you plan to do!" Gilbert said in a deep voice.
Vincent was slightly stunned, he ignored Jane and looked towards Ariana. He walked over seriously and said, "Ariana and I grew up together, and our relationship was very deep. Nothing can break our bond."
As he spoke, he took out a ring case from his suit pocket, and kneeled on one knee gracefully.
"Ari, will you marry me?"
Vincent looked at Ariana deeply, his eyes filled with admiration and sincerity.
The sudden proposal was quite unexpected for Ariana, but even more so for Jane.
Ariana looked at the diamond ring in front of her, she seemed to be very calm. She looked towards the stunned Jane nearby with an expression full of concern.
"But… what about Jane…"
As soon as Vincent heard Jane's name, he couldn't help showing a bit of impatience. He emphasized, "Ari, I love you, it has nothing to do with other people!"
