Chapter 207 Play A Trick
Christopher nodded with satisfaction. He lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he said, "Victor, the girl you brought back today..."
"Grandpa, that girl is the one I love and your future granddaughter-in-law." Victor looked straight into Christopher's eyes and replied in a firm yet gentle voice.
"Okay," Christopher nodded thoughtfully.
Sensing that his grandpa had some thoughts about this, Victor opened his mouth again, "Grandpa, I know that mom has always wanted me to marry Teresa. But I only love Sophia, and I will only marry her in the future."
Christopher burst into laughter. He tapped the floor lightly with his walking stick and said, "It seems that my Victor, does love that girl. You are a man of few words, but you are talkative when you talk about her."
The smile on Christopher's face eased Victor's tension. He thought, 'Grandpa is highly honored. If he could accept me to get married with Sophia, perhaps I can make this marriage easier.'
"Sophia, she is the most strong girl I've ever seen. She works hard, gentle, kind and filial. I will take her to see you again. You will like her." When Victor talked about Sophia, his eyes and eyebrows were full of affection.
Christopher didn't say anything, but nodded. He soon frowned and said, "but your mother hopes that you can marry An family's daughter."
"I know what they mean." Victor lowered his voice, "I know An family's business. It doesn't rank high in both the company and the industry chain. Our marriage isn't doing Xiao family any good. What's more, considering the ability of the Xiao Group, our company doesn't need to tie up with any company, neither do I."
Christopher didn't respond. He just stared at Victor with his sharp, steady eyes. Victor looked back at him in the same way.
After a while, Christopher sighed softly and said, "I respect your choice. Our Xiao family is powerful and you don't need to marry anyone that you don't like. You are qualified to pursue your own happiness."
"Thank you, grandpa..."
"Rat-a-tat!"
Before Victor could finish his sentence, someone knocked on the door.
Victor turned to look at the door and said in a low voice, "Come in."
The door was pushed open. When he saw who it was, Victor turned his head around indifferently.
Teresa walked in with a smile on her face. She held a tray with two cups of water on it. She didn't feel disappointed when Victor turned his face and didn't look at her. Instead, she looked at him and said, "Hello, Victor, grandpa Christopher. Are you thirsty? I bring some water for you."
Christopher raised his head and saw Teresa. He said slowly, "Teresa."
Teresa nodded obediently. She walked to the sofa, took two cups of water from the tray and put them down on the empty tea table. Then she said in a sweet voice, "Grandpa Christopher, have some tea. It can help you embellish your th
rced Teresa away. It seemed that only when he said he disliked her would she have the slightest sense of shame. Then she would choose to leave, so that he could have some peace.
Victor turned around and leaned against the wall. The moonlight shone on his robe. Teresa looked at him and forgot that he had been mean to her a moment ago. She just stared at him, like looking at a God.
But her beautiful dream was interrupted by Victor's voice, "Please leave my room right now!"
The words came as a bolt from the blue and awakened her from her dream. Teresa raised her head and looked at the man she had a crush on for years. Her eyes reddened. She had never been wronged like this. She had always been able to get what she wanted, by any means.
So did Victor.
Seeing the disgust and impatience on Victorn's face, Teresa realized that he was impatient and wanted to throw her out of his room right now. But she knew it was too late. Everyone was sleeping now. If he wanted to force her out of the room, he would definitely consider that she would struggle and shout at the same time.
So now she couldn't leave anyway. Take advantage of this, she could leave when Victor was about to fall asleep. And she could walk in later. Otherwise, she didn't know when she could come in. 'Now that he doesn't like me, it doesn't matter to make him hate me again, ' Teresa thought.
After all, only she got him at last that she was the winner.
Victor was a little sleepy. With his eyes half closed, he leaned against the wall. After waiting for a long time, nobody spoke. He thought that Teresa humiliated herself and left quietly without his noticing. The moment he opened his eyes, Victor stretched himself and was ready to sleep.
Somehow, after having a cup of tea, he still felt a little sleepy. 'Perhaps I'm tired because what happened today was much more difficult than what happened in business.' Victor thought.
"Grandpa, that girl is the one I love and your future granddaughter-in-law." Victor looked straight into Christopher's eyes and replied in a firm yet gentle voice.
"Okay," Christopher nodded thoughtfully.
