Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 194: He’s Getting Married? The Bride Isn’t Her

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: He’s Getting Married? The Bride Isn’t Her

"Is your memory not that great, cousin? Need me to help you recall?"

Eleanor Valerius originally wanted to test if Julian Ford had been talking recklessly.

But upon seeing him bully Chloe, she instinctively took the role of the protective sister, stepping in front of her sibling.

"No need... I didn’t say anything!"

Julian Ford implied while retreating his steps away from Chloe Valerius.

His fear stemmed from the man behind Eleanor Valerius; this woman was definitely a temptress!

Not only was she beautiful and charming, but that stubborn glint in her eyes was deadly attractive.

He had always been obsessed with Eleanor Valerius, desiring her at least once, yet he never imagined she belonged to that man.

Now he didn’t dare look at her, much less touch her, but still had to endure her threats and intimidation—a real humiliation!

"Chloe, are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

Chloe Valerius, though unfamiliar with Julian Ford, was quietly pleased with her own allure.

At this moment, Eleanor Valerius realized it was unlikely that Julian Ford feared her so much.

In an instant, she turned around and unexpectedly collided with Sebastian Ford’s deep, probing gaze.

The sudden thrill sent her heart racing and disrupted her breathing.

However, Eleanor Valerius didn’t want and couldn’t afford to have any cracks in their secret relationship exposed in the Ford Family.

She quickly averted her gaze and took Chloe away from the scene.

Suddenly, as Eleanor Valerius’s figure disappeared from Sebastian Ford’s vision, his eyes narrowed in displeasure.

Since Damian Lowell’s appearance, the little vixen had even been stingy with her feigned affection!

Today’s family banquet didn’t invite too many people.

Once Mr. Ford was seated, being the Family Head, Sebastian Ford naturally became the center of attention.

At this moment, the Valerius Family was still placed in the most cornered position.

Only Eleanor Valerius’s eyes didn’t turn towards Sebastian Ford.

Sitting beside her, Chloe Valerius was like a flashy butterfly, her proactive display made Regina Jennings quite satisfied.

During the meal, the topics were all about the Ford Family.

Sophia Ford and Owen Shaw, with their children, were lively and cheerful, just as Mr. Ford liked it best.

Meanwhile, Byron Ford, though solitary, seemed in a good mood, drinking his wine.

Mr. Ford shook his head in disappointment at him, criticising him for failing to investigate the women around Sebastian Ford with no result.

Knowing your children best, he could sense beneath Sebastian Ford’s calm demeanor that his mood was not good.

The Ford business had never affected his emotions, but romantic affairs were indeed Sebastian Ford’s Achilles’ heel.

At this moment, Mr. Ford, holding tea, suddenly spoke: "Sebastian, at the next family banquet, can you bring someone else back? It’s been a long time since there was any joyful occurrence in the Ford house."

"Where am I supposed to find another person?"

Sebastian Ford replied calmly, but his gaze inadvertently glanced at Eleanor Valerius.

He had already brought her back.

It’s just that he doesn’t seem to have a status.

Eleanor Valerius lowered her head, continually avoiding his gaze.

The topic of Mr. Ford pushing for marriage was always the center of attention at Ford family banquets.

During these times, Sophia Ford and Byron Ford would often team up to probe him.

"I saw my uncle’s girlfriend in the car that day."

No one expected that the spontaneous words from Julia Ford would immediately draw everyone’s attention.

"You’ve seen the woman of the third brother?!"

Byron Ford immediately questioned.

Even Sophia Ford couldn’t help but ask, "Julia, did you really see that woman? Who is she!"

Somehow, she just felt that Sebastian Ford’s secret lover should be someone she knew.

Because all eyes turned toward her.

Julia Ford hadn’t particularly noticed, except for Eleanor Valerius’s anxious gaze.

"I don’t know her, actually I didn’t see the face."

"If you didn’t see the face, how did you know she was the third brother’s woman?"

Byron Ford caught onto the key point.

"They were kissing in the car..."

Julia Ford sneakily glanced at her uncle, and didn’t continue further.

Subsequently, Sebastian Ford continued drinking his wine and did not refute, suggesting by default that what Julia Ford said was true.

Everyone knew Masters Ford willingly played the role of a male third wheel.

"Sebastian, is it still that woman?"

Mr. Ford inquired nonchalantly, "So, are you planning to marry her?"

Marry?!

Upon hearing that, Eleanor Valerius couldn’t resist looking up at Sebastian Ford.

She couldn’t guess his intentions, nor pierce through his profound thoughts.

The Ford Family’s suspicions still lingered around her.

However awkwardly, they didn’t know she had already failed in proposing to Sebastian Ford.

Meanwhile, Julian Ford was particularly anxious and uneasy.

If his uncle really married Eleanor Valerius, wouldn’t that make his cousin become his uncle’s wife?

He would be oppressed by Eleanor Valerius’s seniority for the rest of his life!

"Third brother, are you serious?"

Clearly having heard no answer from Sebastian Ford yet, Byron Ford couldn’t restrain himself from questioning: "That woman made you a third wheel and then dumped you, and you still want to marry her? How could Master Ford let a woman play him so easily!"

"I wasn’t played by her, I’m just naturally inclined to go around in circles."

Sebastian Ford’s lickspittle comments stunned everyone in the room.

"Ah? Were you deceived by a woman?"

Byron Ford looked dumbfounded, part malicious, part sincerely gossiping: "Who on earth is this woman who could enchant you this way? Third brother, it’s a disgrace for Master Ford to be such a sycophant, you can’t continue like this!"

"Second brother, I won’t be deceived by her this time."

Sebastian Ford replied earnestly: "I pretend to be so bewitched and obsessed, it’s just a step in my plan, don’t say more, I have my own considerations."

Eleanor Valerius: "..."

Are you crazy?!

Sebastian Ford’s words appeared as deeply smitten, beyond redemption!

Mr. Ford got angry.

But suddenly, Sebastian Ford seriously announced: "Father, I’ll be getting married in three months, and the bride will be of equal status, someone who will meet your approval."

As soon as these words fell, the room was filled with shocked exclamations.

Byron Ford and Sophia Ford exchanged looks, neither expecting Sebastian Ford was willing to enter an arranged marriage!

If he treated his marriage like a business deal and sired several children, then his position in the Ford Family would be unmovable.

The most low-key in the seating, Owen Shaw discreetly concealed his dangerous gaze.

He knew he must kill Sebastian Ford before he got married and had children!

Mr. Ford seemed to lay down a heavy burden on his heart, joyfully laughing aloud.

"Alright, I’ll wait three more months; your wedding will be the greatest celebration for the Ford Family!"

"I won’t let you down."

Naturally, Sebastian Ford purposely said this.

Today, amidst this place, an enemy hiding wanted to kill him, and he used the false news of getting married to lure them out.

Most importantly, he also wanted to see Eleanor Valerius’s reaction.

Amidst the surrounding congratulatory voices.

Eleanor Valerius froze.

She heard it with her own ears; he was getting married, and the bride wasn’t her.

Sebastian Ford asked her to be his lover for two months, and then three months later he would marry, setting her free?

Despite this seemingly being good news, Eleanor Valerius unconsciously touched her abdomen, unable to cover up her embarrassment.

She and the baby were both redundant.

It doesn’t matter; even without a daddy, because she would love the baby wholeheartedly.

Suddenly, Chloe Valerius leaned in close, asking disinterestedly: "Sister, Master Ford is marrying someone else, are you upset?"

Hearing this, Eleanor Valerius’s eyes trembled as she looked at Chloe.

For a moment, she felt like Chloe might know about her relationship with Sebastian Ford!

After the family banquet ended, departing the venue.

Eleanor Valerius didn’t answer Chloe’s question but rushed out quickly.

At the corridor corner, she didn’t expect Sebastian Ford to suddenly hug her there.

Remembering he was to marry, Eleanor Valerius’s reaction became inexplicably sensitive.

"Let go of me. We are at the Ford residence and might be discovered!"

Instead of letting her go, Sebastian Ford held her tighter, cupping her face in his big hands, forcing her to tilt her head up to meet his scrutinizing gaze.

"Why didn’t you congratulate me on my upcoming marriage?"
