Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1407 The next day, news about the Jade Cup was published in the headlines of various major news portals. A few popular topics also made it to the hot topics list, exposing those in the circle. Besides the competition results and the gathering of those better known in Casterwich City, the most exciting news was about Mr. Johnson, the fresh face in the crowd. Gossips about him made it to every dining table in the city.

The morning had just barely started at the office, but Wyatt's phone had not stopped ringing from all the calls he was getting.

He had just escaped a scolding from his mother, but his phone rang again - this time, it was a call from his older sister. When Wyatt saw that even his older sister who doted on him called, he instantly knew how his ploy was playing out. He could not help but feel worried.

"Well, hello there! It's been a while. How have you been?"

"Enough with the small talk. What do you think you are doing? I even got a call from our mother in the dead of the night because of you! This isn't how you are! Be honest with me - are you serious about that woman?"

Wyatt did not deny nor admit what had been posed. He called out knowingly, """Well-"

The next second, a voice laced with concern was heard.

"Tell me, how can I not worry about you? There are literally thousands of women out there; why can't you just like someone who cares about their figure more than having kids? Why must you insist on liking someone with a nasty reputation? Wyatt, it's not that we don't understand how romance works, but this is about our family we're talking about here. You can't blame the elders for being selfish. When people get to a certain age, they'd naturally want to return to their roots and have a grandchild or two - it's just human nature! It's something I can relate to very strongly now-"

After a long-winded speech, a heavy sigh was heard!

In an instant, Wyatt's heart sank. He could picture her gloomy face at the other end. This troubled him, causing him to unconsciously clench his fists.

For his own happiness, and for Raynee - this persistence of his must have broken the hearts of his family. He had never experienced such a deep pain before. Wyatt's heart beat violently within his chest. He tightened his lips, readying himself to say something, but no sound escaped.

After a long silence, an earnest voice sounded again.

"Wyatt, love is not a trifling matter! Dating is fine, but marriage and some things are not to be taken lightly, especially if you are yet to be certain, - you musn't get overly involved or impulsive. Do you understand? If you go too far, who's to say what will happen!"

They were all adults. Wyatt immediately understood where they were coming from. He was not allowed to have an illegitimate child! He was also getting reminded at the same time, to keep to a low-profile!

It did not take a genius to understand what they meant. Wyatt initially wanted to say something, but in the end, he decided to just give a short hum as a response. They then chatted for a short while before he ended the call with the excuse of having to attend a meeting.

On the other end, Francesca held her phone close as she shrugged helplessly at the two women across from her.

Zoila, who was the epitome of a bashful and diffident housewife, asked softly, "That didn't work either? He has even introduced her to his buddies; it looks like they're not playing around!"

Olive nodded, his expression serious as he said, "Something's up! That's why Mother was so worried that she even called me back!"

Francesca sighed again.

well with me! Just think about it - regardless of our reservations about her, she's still someone who has married twice, and once to a man who's old enough to be her father! Isn't this alarming enough! Wyatt is just too
