Mr. CEO's Contract Marriage

9 Lucas Is Your Best Choice

Amelia hardened her expression, turned on her heel, and walked away quickly.

Lucas didn't follow, instead savoring Amelia's every move.

He had the confidence to get her his. He never failed to do anything he set my mind to! Never!

Lucas had brought happiness to the Smiths, momentarily lifting the veil of pain that often shrouded them.

Mia and James were satisfied with Lucas and discussed their future with great enthusiasm, even discussing Lucas animatedly right in front of Amelia, who sat silently, observing and listening without a word.

She was accustomed to her family sitting around and daydreaming about the coming wealth and status, but now there was a real opportunity.

Mia's future vision was like a biological chain: Amelia and Lucas falling in love, James getting promoted, moving into a big house, Amelia getting a good job after graduation, Amelia marrying Lucas, and all the wishes coming true.

She also told Amelia, "Oliver and you are just playing around like children. For college students, graduation means breaking up. The probability of college love succeeding in marriage was extremely low.

Look at Lucas, he's been through the crucible of society and is the real deal!

Who would reject a wealthy and successful man in favor of an ordinary one?"

Taking advantage of her parents taking a break to drink water, Amelia said, "Let's conclude today's speech!" and rose to leave.

Both of them were stunned.

"Bullshit! Get back here!" Mia shouted.

Amelia hadn't said a word since she came home, and Mia had been too preoccupied with her joy to notice.

Now, she noticed the clear dissatisfaction in her daughter's tone. Of course, Amelia didn't go back there as her mother ordered.

Instead, she went to her bedroom, and Mia followed, trying to keep her voice down to avoid irritating her daughter.

"I'm doing this only for your own good. Lucas is the best match for you. How can Oliver compare? Mr. Williams is handsome and so wealthy. He has a successful career and a happy family with a strong background. Don't be foolish, you need to be realistic."

Amelia searched for the best reason to refuse, "Actually, I've known him for a while, and he's been pursuing me, but has been refused by me. I am just twenty-two, and he's already thirty-five. He is thirteen years older than me. That's too old, isn't it?"

Mia thought her daughter was softening and comforted her,

"He is never too old and thirty-five is the best age for a man and especially for a successful man. Most successful men get married in the late thirties and early forties.

He is older than you, so he can take good care of you and tolerate you. You're headstrong. Someone around your age might just be driven to despair by you."

Even Amelia wrapped a blanket over her face, but Mia continued: "It might take some time for you to come around. Take your time."

Goodness! Could someone else meddle in matters of love? Amelia felt she could accept Lucas's ways of pursuing love but couldn't understand her parents' actions.

It turned out that the happiness in the family over the past few days was all because of Lucas.

Her dear parents had connived with others to cast a wide net. Patiently awaiting her to swim into it like a stupid fish. They did not consider her at all. "

Amelia burst into tears helplessly.

Mia returned to the living room and sat down. "She just said Lucas is a bit older than her."

James nodded, "Well, he is a bit older. Why didn't we think of that earlier? But in other words, for a successful man, that's even a young age."

Mia gestured to him that Amelia was crying, but she still raised her voice,

"What's the big deal about being a little older? Would anyone achieve so much at his age? Oliver, who is three years older than her, wouldn't be that different from her.

I heard from his mother that he hasn't married yet because he's busy with work and has become a bit picky.

It's not a big deal. Forty in New York isn't too old to get married.

James, you're so much older than him; you should still learn more about how to behave from Mr. Lucas Williams.

Look at him at the dinner; he didn't say much but managed to take care of everyone at the dinner.

He's a real charmer! If you could be half as good as him, that would be great!"

James blushed and opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

The phone rang.

"We've been talking so much that it's almost midnight. Who could be calling at this late hour? "

She rose to answer the phone and then looked back at her husband with a startled expression: "It's for Amelia; they said Oliver had fainted in the hospital!"
