Chapter 119
Where Celena and Liam were staying was called a cottage. However, it was actually a place where the Stones kept their pets. They changed it temporarily when Celena was about to return.
Of course, it was because of Cheryl and Sherah. It was deliberately done to humiliate Celena.
However, Celena and Liam did not mind. At that moment, Liam and Celena were playing with Jovie at the cottage.
Jovie had been extremely frightened at the dining hall earlier. It took the couple a long time before they managed to cheer Jovie up.
The cottage was filled with Jovie's musical, joyful laughter.
The cottage was at the furthest and most remote end of the Stone Mansion. The butler jogged all the way there. By the time he got to the door, he was breathing heavily.
He shouted, "L-Liam, Mr. Stone asks for you to go to the door to accept the invitation." He panted.
Liam put Jovie on his shoulders without sparing him a glance and said coldly, "Tell Reginald I'm not going unless he comes to invite me himself."
Who was Liam? He was the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors and the head of the Cole family.
The Stone family had infuriated him over and over again, and he would never let them off the hook so easily.
Celena was confused as she looked at Liam after she heard what the butler said. She asked, "What's going on, Liam? What invitation?"
Liam smiled and said, "It's nothing. Ignore them."
He held Jovie's hands tightly and walked around the cottage. He was beaming as he said, "Wow, Jovie is so tall! Let's ride!"
Jovie sat on Liam's shoulders, full of excitement. She was laughing heartily and cheering, "Wow! I've grown up! I'm taller than Dad and Mom now! Dad, go faster! This is so fun! I want to ride a horse!"
At first, Celena was still in a daze. However, she snapped back to reality by Jovie's and Liam's laughter. She forgot that the butler was still waiting at the door and quickly ran behind Liam. She was worried that Jovie would fall.
"Slow down, Liam!" Celena called out.
The butler was panting as he looked into the cottage. His expression darkened when he saw that Liam and Celena were ignoring him. Then, he became angry and returned to tell Reginald about what had just happened.
By the time the butler jogged back to the entrance, he was panting again.
Reginald had a sullen face when he saw that only the butler had come over. Displeased, he immediately asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Liam? Didn't I tell you to ask him to come?"
Liam pissed off the butler, so the butler fanned the flames and said, "Liam was too insolent, sir. He completely ignored me when I went over earlier. He even had the nerve to say that he wanted you to invite him yourself. Otherwise, he won't come. Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he be so rude!"
All the Stone family at the door was angry.
How could Liam act so insolently? How dare he shamelessly ask Reginald to invite him.
They had already forgotten that Reginald had personally gone to invite Celena and Liam back into the Stone family.
They started criticizing him, saying, "This is absurd! How dare Liam ask for Reginald to invite him to the entrance? Who does he think he is?"
"You're right! Mr. Lynch personally had someone to deliver these invitations. Not only has he not been here to receive them, but he had the cheek to make such an absurd request. How ungrateful of him!"
"You're right! There are two boxes of them. That's enough for all of us to attend!"
"Reginald, you can't go soft on him this time. He's too arrogant and insolent. This is the Stone Mansion, for heaven's sake."
Reginald was very furious as well while he listened to the others cursing at Liam. That was especially true since Lieutenant Andrews was still present. He was incredibly embarrassed. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
With a sullen expression and a frosty tone, he said, "This is outrageous! You guys over there, tie Liam up and bring him here. What an ungrateful ass!"
