Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 338: Caught in the Act

Aurora and Julian embraced each other happily, feeling incredibly fortunate to have

met such a man in her lifetime. It was as if all the flowers in the world bloomed at once and the sunlight poured down just on her. People were cheering, clapping, and offering their blessings. Of course, there was one exception; Lindsay glared fiercely at the couple and declared, "I will never bless you!"

before running off, her skirt billowing behind her.

Joaquin had just arrived and was about to explode in anger at the scene before him, but then he noticed the happy smile at the corner of Julian's mouth. He hadn't seen his son smile so genuinely since his mother had passed away.

"If you don't want this son, I'm quite fond of him as my grandson-in-law," Oswaldo chimed in sharply.

"Humph," Joaquin snorted.

The Gilpin family was also restless.

"Mr. Alvarez, he was engaged to my daughter, and now he proposes to someone else

in public. Where does that leave my daughter's dignity? Or do you think our Gilpin family is just for amusement?"

they protested.

"Mr. Gilpin, I'm truly sorry. It seems we need to discuss this matter again. The youth today are rebellious; it's not like in our time when children simply obeyed their parents," Joaquin conceded to reality.

Now that Julian and Aurora were engaged in front of so many people, and they were clearly in love, how could he interfere? "But you owe the Gilpin family an explanation, or this isn't over!"

Lindsay's grandfather demanded angrily.

"Mr. Gilpin, today is my grand celebration. Please, give me this courtesy and let's not dwell on these unpleasant matters. Let the younger generation sort it out themselves," Oswaldo quickly interjected.

"Hmph, you're just happy to have such a fine grandson-in-law," Mr. Gilpin commented, his agreement to the marriage largely due to Julian's exemplary qualities.

He wasn't as mercenary as Joaquin; he valued a person's potential over their family background, and his judgment was not misplaced. Moreover, his granddaughter truly liked Julian. It was a match blessed by heaven, which he had agreed to, and now, losing Julian as a grandson-in-law was not easy for him.

"This is their fate; what can our insistence do? Come, let's have a drink; it's been a long while since we last gathered. We are all nearing the end; let the younger ones have their blessings," he suggested.
