Chapter 138 - 138: Let Me Marry You
The sunset’s afterglow shone through the car window, the light hazy.
The man was smoking, his body turned to look out the window: “Stay out of her business in the future.’
The warning sounded somewhat weary.
The assistant closed his mouth, and as he began to drive forward, Michael
Gallagher’s eyelashes lifted slightly, and he ordered coldly, “Go to the Richardson family.”
Going to the Richardsons, to see Isabelle?
The assistant quickly turned the steering wheel without question and drove towards Richardson Tower.
At this time, Isabelle was hiding in the Richardson family house, not leaving for several days.
Besides eating and sleeping, she refused to see anyone.
The doorbell rang, and a servant asked softly, “Miss, a man named Jake Smith is looking for you, do you want me to send him away?” Jake Smith?
Isabelle was lying on the bed, her eyes slightly moved.
If there was anyone she didn’t want to see right now, it was definitely Jake
Smith because this man had dragged her into the abyss.
But she had to see him now because of Amelia Collins.
Ever since Amelia found out about their affair, she couldn’t find her whereabouts.
“Let him in.’
The villa was situated downtown by Samuel Richardson, and the security measures were well-prepared, so there was no need to worry about paparazzi lurking around.
Seeing Jake Smith again, a trace of hatred flashed in Isabelle’s eyes.
She simply put on a coat, sat on the sofa, and pointed to a chair next to Jake
Smith, “Let’s sit down and talk.”
Jake Smith looked deeply at her and said softly, “l talked to my family, and they agreed to let me marry you.”
Isabelle was slightly stunned, her fingers tightening.
“Since this matter has already been exposed, marrying you is the best solution for both of us,” Jake Smith’s voice was gentle and persuasive, “If you agree, we can arrange a time for both families to discuss it…”
“No need!” Isabelle interrupted him with utter disgust, “l will not marry you,
Jake Smith. Don’t delude yourself into thinking I really like you.”
“l had a baby for Michael, and now I can only marry him.”
Isabelle’s emotional and angry accusations, her eyes brimming with tears, looked truly pitiable.
“After the exposure of our affair, are you sure Michael will still marry you?”
Isabelle’s lips slightly moved, the light in her eyes gradually fading. This was her most worrying and feared matter.
With the revelation of her affair with Jake Smith in this manner, would Michael still marry her?
She didn’t know when her face became wet with tears, her body trembling severely.
Curled up on the sofa like a homeless bird, she appeared lonely and desolate.
“But I am the baby’s mother, and the baby belongs to Michael. He can’t not marry me.”
She tried to persuade herself with various reasons.
Jake Smith squinted his eyes, approached her, and whispered softly in her ear, “You know very well whether the baby is Michael e s or not, Isabelle. Michael will never marry you. Apart from me, there are only a few men who dare to marry you.”
Isabelle’s body stiffened, her face alternately turning pale and flushed, her lips trembling, and she was unable to speak for a moment.
Carrying the Gallagher family’s baby and having an ambiguous relationship with Jake Smith, not many men would dare to marry her, even if she was Isabelle.
Thinking of this, Isabelle shuddered all over, trembling like a sieve.
Seeing her devastated appearance, a hint of triumph flashed in Jake Smith’s eyes.
To make Isabelle obedient, he could only break her proudest wings. His reputation was already ruined, and the only way to recover a little bit was to marry Isabelle.
“Once you’ve made up your mind, let me know, and I’ll arrange for the wedding.”
Upon hearing the words “marriage,” Isabelle suddenly woke up like from a dream, glaring at Jake Smith before giving him a fierce slap.
“A toad wants to eat swan meat. Jake Smith. I won’t marry you. Get that idea out of your head!” Her eyes were red with anger, staring at Jake as if she wanted to kill him, full of hatred. “Don’t think I don’t know what you have in mind. I am the heiress of the Richardson family. If you marry me, it’s just for the marriage with our family! What kind of thing are you, the Smith family, to be worthy of our alliance? If my dad finds out, he would definitely have someone break your legs!’
Samuel Richardson was infamous, and using him would definitely deter Jake Smith.
As expected, upon hearing the words “break his legs,” Jake Smith’s handsome face wrinkled up for a moment.
Isabelle took a few deep breaths, calming herself down.
At that moment, the door opened and Samuel Richardson strode in, ‘1 1 agree!
In the stunned gazes of Isabelle and Jake, Samuel approached Jake and patted his shoulder, “l like such a son-in-law. I’m going to discuss the marriage with your family tomorrow, and try to move the wedding forward.”
Hearing this, Isabelle felt a loud boom in her head, her body curling up as if drained of blood. She gasped for breath, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
“Dad…
“It’s settled.” Samuel Richardson glanced at her lightly, “Jake is so responsible, it’s your good fortune.”
Isabelle’s face turned pale, she bit her lower lip and said shakily, “l want to be married to Michael!”
“If you can get him to marry you, I won’t say anything either.” Samuel Richardson said meaningfully, “But Michael Gallagher has no intention of marrying you now, even Jake is better than him. I think you’d better stop waiting…”
“No!!!” Isabelle panicked and interrupted him, “Michael will marry me, he promised me! As long as I tell him, he will marry me. I’ll call him now…”
Speaking hurriedly, Isabelle unlocked her cell phone. At that moment, a servant came up and announced loudly, “Mr. Gallagher is here to see Miss Isabelle.”
Hearing this, Isabelle’s tears couldn’t be held back any longer. They flowed freely, and she immediately bolted outside, “Michael, Michael is here!”
Isabelle excitedly told her father, “Dad, didn’t you say Michael had no intention of marrying me? I’ll let him tell you himself today, that he will marry me.”
Samuel Richardson’s face suddenly turned ashen.
His daughter’s mind seemed to have been hit by something, unable to make sense of things.
Maybe before, Michael Gallagher might have married her, but now with her ruined reputation, no family with any influence would marry her.
He could only give up on his daughter.
He looked at Jake Smith, full of regret.
Although Jake was far from being equal to Michael Gallagher, he was still a talented and promising young man. What a pity.
It seemed that Jake knew what he was thinking, giving him a reassurance,
“Uncle, I truly like Isabelle. If Michael Gallagher does not marry her, I will.” Hearing this, Samuel Richardson nodded with satisfaction.
This young man was clever, he knew to take the initiative in asking for marriage. Although his family background was not as good, his attitude gave him enough face.
Isabelle had no idea about the transaction between the two, and ran downstairs like a butterfly.
Regardless, she must make Michael marry her.
She could not marry someone like Jake Smith. She couldn’t entrust her beautiful life to such a man!
“Michael!”
Seeing Michael Gallagher standing by the door, Isabelle cried and ran towards him..
