Fated love: the unwanted bride

He was so furious, his face alternating between shades of red and white!

“Dad…” Joe Heath took hold of his hand, “Don’t get angry. An outsider is really not worth all this anger. I treat her pretty well, but she just loves to turn on the waterworks. What can I do about it!”

“Quit making excuses! Treat Melody Xylas properly, take time to cultivate a relationship with her. She is not going anywhere after she comes back this time!”

“What?” Joe Heath widened his eyes, “Not leaving? Living in our house?

Absolutely not! Who does she think she is!”

“I don’t want to say much, you handle it on your own.”

Joe Heath’s eyes flickered: “Dad, haven’t you always wanted me to settle down and get married? Don’t deny it, I genuinely have a girlfriend lately. Everything is going well, and I am thinking about getting married.”

“Hmm? Whose lady is she?”

Kaisan Heath relaxed a bit, eyeing him closely.

This son of his was quite good at lying, so he had to be careful.

“Don’t worry about that for now, I’m asking if you’re happy or not? Ever since I met her, I want to live a nice life and not cause you worry anymore. Of course, you have to agree to me dating her.”

Kaisan Heath was silent, seemingly in thought.

“Dad, I guarantee she will meet your seal of approval.” Joe Heath said, “Once I have courted her successfully, I’ll bring her home for you to see. Then you will just have to wait at home to have grandchildren. As for Melody, our family has been very good to her. She must be content by now!”

A smile spread over Joe Heath’s face.

Having outwitted his father for over twenty years, he definitely had a few tricks up his sleeve.

He knew his father’s weakness all too well.

A beaming Joe Heath awaited his father’s response, oblivious of the white figure down below.

Melody Xylas lowered her head and left through the side door.

Her heart…felt a little uncomfortable.

“Are you serious this time?” Kaisan Heath frowned.

“Of course, absolutely serious.”

“What’s this woman’s name? Where is she?”

“Dad, I’m still courting her. Don’t scare her away. But I promise you that I am sincere this time, more sincere than gold.”

This time, Joe Heath was not lying.

If he didn’t like Jasmine Yale, he wouldn’t need to confront Sylvan Cheney.

He was puzzled— Why would his ascetic older brother, who already had Yolanda Fern, insist on getting Jasmine Yale back?

“Hmph.” Kaisan Heath sneered, “I suppose you’re deceiving me again. You’ve been spouting such lies since you were fifteen! Think about it, how many girlfriends have you had? Which one have you been sincere with?”

“Dad…”

“Starting today, you are not allowed to set foot out of the house! I will have the bodyguards watch you and confiscate all your communication devices!”

With that, Kaisan Heath let out another cold laugh and made his way downstairs, freeing himself from his son’s grip.

“Wait, I still have to work, what do you mean by house arrest?”

“Whether you work or not is irrelevant!”

“But you…”

“Steward Zandorian! Confiscate all of the young master’s communication devices. Without my orders, whoever dares let him out should not blame me for my rudeness.” Kaisan Heath ordered.

“Hey, old…”

Kaisan Heath had already walked out, leaving Joe Heath to swallow the words “Old man.”

Kaisan Heath was volatile and always meant what he said.

Joe Heath’s phones, tablets, and any other devices were promptly confiscated.

Joe Heath wasn’t expecting the situation to get this serious.

What in the world had he done to provoke his old man this time? It must be Melody Xylas messing things up behind his back!
