Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage

Chapter 59 He Came for Her

However, this gentleman wasn’t here for the red carpet either. This man, who was mistaken for a superstar, was nobody else, but the young master of the wealthiest family of Millpond, Archibald Hawkins.

But none of these stopped him from being the focus of attention. The media reporters gave him all the limelight generously, and none of the fans present had expected that Archibald would show up.

Therefore, even if Archibald didn’t have any fan here, many fans of other stars had become his fans the moment he got off his ostentatious Spyker C8.

Maybe this was the best interpretation of the saying, "Comparisons are odious." Someone was destined to be the most dazzling presence wherever he appeared, even if he was in his casual wear. The crowd kept exclaiming that when Archibald took off his suit, he looked so unruly only in a shirt! Not everybody was a great clothes horse.

At this moment, Archibald was walking down the red carpet to the two people at the other end step by step. To be more exact, he was walking towards Lillian, because only that woman’s figure was in his deep and slanted eyes.

Archibald seemed to have not heard the questions shouted out by the enthusiastic reporters on both sides or the fans’ screams of excitement. He walked steadily, his slender legs moving towards his destination accurately.

In Lillian’s eyes, that man got off his sports car arrogantly and walked towards her step by step, but actually, he was contemptuous of the red carpet. However, he was apparently the shiniest star here.

Under the flashes, his eyes didn’t blink to avoid the glaring light at all, but fixed on her. His dark eyes were twinkling, just like little diamonds scattered all over the floor.

Lillian could only see Archibald on this dazzling red carpet that was watched by everyone. The screaming crowd around her seemed to have disappeared, and only he was left.

It was as if each of his steps was treading on her heart.

Lillian held her breath uncontrollably and her body grew tense. Archibald, why would he come here?

A 100-meter red carpet was not short, but Archibald seemed to have walked in front of her in a blink. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

How wouldn’t Sebastian sense that the woman next to him was drifting away? He pulled out the arm being held by hers, put it around her waist and drew it back a little bit so that she was taken into his arms, his harsh voice saying in her ear, "I warn you. Don’t get absent-minded the moment Archibald appears!" His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Lillian looked up at once and saw Sebastian glaring at her with a grim face. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt that his hold around her waist tightened.

Was this Sebastian competing with Archibald again? When had he become so stupid?

"Lillian." At this point, there was a cold and faint smile hanging on Archibald’s thin lips. He stared at Lillian with his dark and sharp eyes. As for Sebastian beside her, he didn’t seem to have seen him.

Sebastian knew Archibald was ignoring him intentionally. He didn’t get angry, but also put on a false smile. "Are you here to attend the anniversary celebration of my company, Young Master Hawkins?" There was a hint of irony in his words. Obviously, Sebastian implied that Archibald had come uninvited.

At this moment, people on both sides had stopped screaming, listening to their conversation quietly, in case anything important was missed.

Judging from the prologue between the two, the crowd had already figured out that there must be something going on among the three of them.

The moment Archibald showed up, those alert reporters could foresee that a great drama which had never happened before would be put on.

It wasn’t hard for one to figure out the reason. Now Lillian was standing beside Sebastian as the other woman, but it was Archibald who had made Lillian popular, and the affair between Archibald and her was known by almost everyone.

However, Lillian was Sebastian’s female companion right now, so what was Archibald? On the one hand, the people despised Lillian for having a foot in either camp; on the other hand, they despised her for associating with Sebastian, the media mogul, for fame.

Just when Lillian showed up as Sebastian’s female companion, Archibald arrived. Anyone of good sense would assume that there would definitely be something extraordinary going on next.

Meanwhile, there were also some people craving for drama exclaiming that the show would be better with Joanna’s presence.

Lillian was the leading lady of the drama whose theme was about "the other woman", "cheating", and "the love triangle". One had to say that this woman was quite a character.

It was now that Archibald cast a sidelong look at Sebastian, gave a smile and said flatly, "President Palmer, you thought too much. I’m just here too look for the woman who stood me up." After that, Archibald looked back at Lillian.

Lillian’s eyelid twitched. What was this man doing… She had told Archibald that she would buy him dinner next time, but why must he come here to say those words to Sebastian?

"Lil, you told me something came up, so this 'something' referred to walking down the red carpet with President Palmer? If yes, you could have told me about it frankly. In that case, would I have been

unreasonable and stopped you?" Archibald frowned, as if he was blaming Lillian for not being candid with him.

However, why did his words sound so weird? It sounded as if Lillian really was intimate with him. Especially when Lillian heard how he called her, her heart raced, and she felt that something bad was going to happen.

Archibald’s words, however, meant something else to the reporters. In their opinion, Lillian dumped Archibald to fawn on Sebastian, while the poor and kind Archibald should have come over here for her.

Lillian couldn’t help but feel helpless. What evil thing had she done so that she got in trouble with these two demons? Couldn’t they just stop for a while?

Especially Archibald, his look of "you owe me so much" really enraged her. Lillian thought to herself. 'Archibald, just go on pretending. Just go on putting on a show!'

"Archibald, didn’t we agree on the phone that I would invite you to dinner again after this? Would you please go back now, alright?" Lillian could only discuss it with Archibald in a low voice in front of everyone. What had happened today was already troublesome for her, and she really couldn’t handle another drama.

"Who agreed? I said nothing before you hung up. How was that an agreement?" This woman not only stood him up, but also came here to be Sebastian’s female companion. Did she think she could just send him away? Seething with anger, Archibald wished he could carry this woman away and give her a lesson. He wanted her to remember who should be at the top of her priority list!

No, Sebastian shouldn’t be on that list. Only he was enough!

Sebastian stood aside and watched the two of them talking as if he was not around, his eyes glinting coldly, as well as angrily. He tightened his hold around her waist again.

"Young Master Hawkins, Lillian is my female companion now. You’re welcome to be here for the anniversary celebration, but if you’re here for anything else, then goodbye," Sebastian ordered for Archibald to leave unreservedly. Even if he was on the red carpet and watched by everyone, Sebastian couldn’t hold back his anger anymore. Wasn’t Archibald here to take Lillian away?

If his female companion was brought away by Archibald in front of onlookers, how could he stay here with the shame? Furthermore, this was not simply the matter of his female companion being taken away, but Lillian was also his wife. How could Sebastian stand his wife being taken away by Archibald again and again?
