Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 567 Jealousy is a Joke (2)_1

He wondered, are all the servants of the Horne Family this formidable? Do they question everything?

"What’s your last name? I’ll go in and ask if Miss Adele recognizes you," Sister Hong said. Observing his kind face and gentle eyes, which held no trace of malice, she felt somewhat well-disposed towards him. At least, Flynn Walker doesn’t seem like a bad person, she thought.

"My last name is Walker. Here is my business card." Flynn Walker hurriedly took his business card from an inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Sister Hong. She took the card, glanced at it with a smile, and said, "So you’re a university professor, and only thirty-three? Not bad. Wait here, I’ll go in and ask for you. If Miss Adele is willing to see you, I’ll come back and open the door." With that, Sister Hong took his business card and walked inside.

"Who is it?" Uncle Ying happened to be passing by and casually asked Sister Hong.

"A university professor named Walker, looking for Miss Adele. He’s brought a big bunch of red roses," Sister Hong replied with a hint of mystery.

Uncle Ying stopped, his expression turning stern. He called out to Sister Hong, "Is it Mr. Flynn Walker? Miss Adele previously instructed that she didn’t want to see him. If he comes once, turn him away once. If he comes twice, turn him away twice. Don’t go in to ask. The Eldest Young Master unexpectedly returned last night and is currently having breakfast with his wife in the house."

"Really?" Sister Hong was startled. If that’s true, will Miss Adele scold me if I go in and ask? she wondered.

Seeing Sister Hong still holding Flynn Walker’s business card, Uncle Ying took it from her. He walked past her, returned to the villa’s main gate, handed the card back to Flynn Walker, and said coolly, "Mr. Walker, I’m sorry, but our Miss will not see you. Please leave."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Flynn Walker was taken aback for a moment, then he started ringing the doorbell again.

My students always said you have to be shameless, then more shameless, and then even more shameless!

If I can’t even get past the servants, how will I ever get close to the goddess of my heart? How will I ever move her stone-cold heart?

He kept ringing the doorbell relentlessly until Aunt Mei, unable to bear it any longer, came out of the house.

Uncle Ying had already returned to the front gate.

Aunt Mei hurried to Uncle Ying’s side, glanced at Flynn Walker, and asked her husband, "What’s going on? Who is he? Who is he looking for? Why does he keep ringing the doorbell? The Old Madam is frowning."

"He’s looking for Miss Adele, but she said last time she didn’t want to see him again." Uncle Ying then addressed Flynn Walker, "Mr. Walker, you’re a cultured man. Our Miss genuinely doesn’t want to see you again. Please leave and stop ringing the doorbell."

"I... I really want to see Miss Horne. Could you please inform her for me one more time?"

Flynn Walker’s face flushed slightly at his own persistence. This man, who spent his days immersed in books, had never pursued a girl before. He’d experienced unrequited love, but it was merely a crush that eventually faded to nothing. He had no history of actual romance, as he was often teased for being a bookworm. If it hadn’t been for the instant connection he felt with Adele Horne, he would never have agreed to Mrs. Wang’s matchmaking attempt.

Uncle Ying and Aunt Mei exchanged a look. Seeing the sincerity on Flynn Walker’s face, Aunt Mei considered for a moment before replying, "Alright then, I’ll go in and ask Miss Adele for you." With that, she turned and walked along the concrete path, crossing the front yard towards the Main House.

A moment later, Aunt Mei emerged from the house.

Seeing Aunt Mei come out, Flynn Walker tightened his grip on the bouquet, his heart pounding as he awaited the answer.

"Mr. Walker, please leave. Our Miss said she won’t see you," Aunt Mei relayed Adele Horne’s message.

Disappointment was stark on Flynn Walker’s face. He said nothing more but didn’t leave. He remained standing before the villa gate, clutching the bouquet of roses and pacing occasionally.

Seeing that he had stopped ringing the doorbell, Uncle Ying and Aunt Mei decided to ignore him.

「Inside the house.」

Several pairs of eyes were staring at Adele Horne.

Adele Horne shrugged her shoulders and asked, "Have I turned into a nine-headed monster? Why are you all looking at me?"

"Flynn Walker?" James Horne asked, his voice deep and questioning.

Everyone knew, more or less, about Adele Horne’s encounter with a creep at the matchmaking event, but they hadn’t paid much attention to Flynn Walker, despite his connection to the man.

Julia had already handled the issue with that creep, ensuring he received his due punishment, and no one else had pursued the matter.

"He’s that creep’s brother. The older brother is a lecher, but this one is a true gentleman—polite, gentle, and cultured," Adele said, putting down her milk glass. She had finished eating.

She stood up and walked out of the dining room, leaving the others behind.

"Hmm, that man is quite nice. My first impression of him was pretty good," Julia Bluen remarked casually, as she had met Flynn Walker.

At that, the man seated beside her—Glades Horne—instantly narrowed his eyes, glaring at her with an extremely dangerous expression. James Horne also glanced at her, his look peculiar and somewhat inscrutable.

The Old Madam had also finished eating. Noticing the change in Glades Horne’s expression, she cheerfully stood up to leave. She deliberately passed by Julia, affectionately patted her shoulder, and gave her a look that seemed to say, "You’re on your own," leaving Julia utterly baffled.

Mr. and Mrs. Gian Horne hadn’t risen yet, so only three people remained in the dining room. Less than a minute later, James also departed. Soon, only Glades Horne and Julia Bluen were left in the spacious dining room.

"Julia," Glades Horne called out in a low voice.

She said Flynn Walker was nice? That her first impression of him was quite good? Praising another man right in front of me! The possessive Glades Horne felt extremely displeased. His beloved wife, calling another man ’nice’!

"Hmm, what’s wrong? You look grim, and your face is so tense. Who managed to offend you now? Can someone actually offend you even during breakfast?" Julia turned her head, belatedly noticing her husband’s strange expression, and asked suspiciously.

At her words, Glades’s handsome face twitched. So she didn’t even notice my dangerous glare at all, he realized.

"What do you really think of Flynn Walker?" Glades Horne stared at her again with those dangerous eyes, his voice low and devoid of emotion as he questioned her.

"He’s quite nice. Polite and well-mannered, just as Adele described—cultured and refined, a true gentleman at first glance. He seems like he’d be good-tempered. If a woman were looking for a husband, someone like him would be a good choice." Julia, thinking of Flynn Walker’s apparent interest in her sister-in-law, shared her impression of him, completely oblivious to her own husband’s simmering jealousy.
