The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404

Megan gave a polite nod. “Oh, sure. I’ll wait for him here. It’s no problem at all.”

Lilian responded with a noncommittal “Mm,” and made small talk with Megan, but her tone lacked warmth.

It wasn’t hard to tell that Megan had feelings for Sean.

But Lilian wasn’t pleased about the idea of her son being with Megan.

In her heart, Charlotte was the only one she saw as her daughter–in–law.

Just thinking about Sean and Charlotte’s relationship made Lilian feel uneasy.

Now that Joseph and Vivian had been arrested, and Mrs. Jasper Sr. had passed away, there was no one left in the family to oppose them being together.

The only hurdle left was Desmond and Charlotte’s own emotional walls.

“If only those two could get back together,” she thought wistfully.

Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen Charlotte in a while.

The thought made Lilian sigh.

Megan noticed and glanced over with concern. “Is something on your mind, Mrs. Jasper?”

Lilian gave a faint smile, followed by another sigh. “Oh, I’ve just been worrying about Sean’s future. He and Lottie broke up and haven’t made up yet. I keep hoping they’ll find their way back to each other. Honestly, I wish Lottie would just marry into the family already and give me a grandchild or two. Sean’s already thirty and still not married. It’s driving me crazy.”

The smile on Megan’s lips froze.

Lilian pretended not to notice and took a sip of tea before smiling again. “So, Megan, are you seeing anyone?”

Megan shook her head. “No, not yet, Mrs. Jasper.”

“How old are you now?”

“Almost twenty–seven.”

“Oh wow, you’re not that young anymore. Why aren’t you dating?” Lilian put on the role of a nosy elder with ticed ease. Want me to introduce you to someone? One of my friends has a son. He’s a year older than you, just got back think you two might get along.”

Megan’s heart sank.

verseas. I

The message was crystal clear. No matter how accomplished she was, Lilian only saw Charlotte as a suitable match for Sean. She would never approve of Megan.

She kept her smile up. “No need, Mrs. Jasper. There’s already someone I like. I’m not interested in anyone else.”

Lilian pretended not to get the hint. “Oh? Whose son is he? Do I know him?”

Megan played along. She smiled. “You know him very well.”

Lilian said, “Then bring him by sometime. I’ll help you vet him.”

“Sure.”

About ten minutes later, Sean finally came downstairs.

Two men followed behind him. One was his assistant, Sam. The other was a stranger Megan didn’t recognize.

Once the unfamiliar man left, Megan asked, “Sean, who was that just now?”

Sean sat down on the couch and didn’t answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Why are you here?”
