Anything For Her

Chapter 724 In Love With Me

“Dad, what are you talking about? Don't I always listen to you?”

Lincoln was no longer a child. Naturally, he knew what his father meant.

“Hmph, you've been so busy that you've only come home a few times this week. How is Ysabelle doing? Have you

cared for her?”

Even if they all show little to no worry about their children, there's nothing I can do about it.

“Dad, it's not that I don't wish to take care of matters. As you know, Ysabelle has her own ideas. When I see how

happy she is in the entertainment industry after previously refusing to let her join the industry, I find it worth it.”

As Ysabelle was his only daughter, he greatly wished for her happiness.

“Have you no intention of controlling her love life? I see that she's quite close with the Northley family's son. Felix is

a good man, but he's a bit too old for her.”

William wasn't too pleased with that, as he thought that Ysabelle should be with someone who was of a similar age

to her. Since Felix was much older than her, William wasn't satisfied with their relationship.

“Dad, let's leave it to Ysabelle to decide. They'll be fine as long as she likes him,” Lincoln murmured. Ysabelle's

relationship isn't something we should meddle in.

“Each and every one of you is just—ugh! You show such little care for your daughter!” William retorted. Ysabelle is

still young. What does she know?

Ysabelle felt her heart skip a beat when she heard William's words. She immediately went to her room to call Felix.

“Felix! Grandpa thinks you're too old for me!”

Felix was befuddled. I'm only thirty years old! Does that make me seem like an old man to Old Mr. Lombard?

“Ysabelle, do you think that I'm old too?” Felix tried to convince himself that he was fine as long as Ysabelle didn't

mind.

Grinning evilly, Ysabelle replied, “After hearing Grandpa mention it, I guess I do think that you're pretty old.”

“Ysabelle, listen... I belong to you for the rest of your life. Don't even think about tossing me aside with such a

superfluous reason.”

It's a good thing Ysabelle isn't in front of me right now, or I'd be tempted to spank her bottom. She's such a

disobedient girl, causing me to worry about her so much. How did she turn the tables in such a short time?

“Okay, okay! I was just kidding. Mr. Northley is the youngest and the most handsome uncle in the world!”

Felix was bereft of words.

“Listen, you, I only wish to be your husband, not some uncle!” Stop making me feel old.

“All right, I got it.” Ysabelle felt a blissful feeling suffuse her heart. “Though I think you'd better brace yourself.

Grandpa doesn't seem to be too pleased with you.”

“I know. Don't worry. The feelings I have for you are unbreakable! Nothing can stop my love for you.”

All of a sudden, Ysabelle heard the sound of a car engine and realized that Sophie and the others had returned.

“Okay, I'm going to end the call now. Sophie and the others are back. I'm heading downstairs for dinner,” Ysabelle

quickly said, intending to hang up.

“Wait! Give me a goodbye kiss before you go!” Felix had planned to dine outside. However, he returned home

because he had something to take care of.

Ysabelle gave the phone a kiss.

“There, happy now? I can go eat now, right?” Ysabelle was in an exceedingly good mood.

“Mm, eat lots and have my share too.”

“Sure!”

“Ysabelle, I wish to get married too,” Felix said all of sudden.

It was Ysabelle's turned to be rendered speechless.

“Felix, let's discuss this some other time. You know that my career is on the rise at the moment. Now is not the time

to get married.”

“Yes, I know. I just wanted you to know that you're the only person I want to marry and no one else.”

Having said that, Felix finally hung up.

Ysabelle's heart was racing as she put down her phone. She felt incredibly moved by Felix's words. To have

someone who only has me in his mind, I can ask for nothing more in this lifetime.

As Ysabelle went downstairs, she saw Tristan and Sophie come in. She immediately accepted the presents Sophie

was holding.

Sarah had ordered the housekeeper to prepare dinner.

“All right, since everyone has arrived, let's eat! Dad, Lincoln, go wash your hands!”

It had been a long time since the place had been so festive.

William did not say much as they all sat down to eat.

After they ate, the whole family sat in the living room and discussed Sophie and Tristan's wedding.

“Sophie, pick a time so that I can meet with your parents. It's a matter of courtesy,” William said. Tristan should

have no trouble coming up with the wedding gift himself.

Since their children were getting married, William thought he should meet with Sophie's parents beforehand.

Something like this should be initiated by the man's parents.

“Okay, I'll make the arrangements.” Sophie did not try to weasel her way out of it. After all, she only had to arrange

for them to have a meal together.

“As for the rest of the details, the two of you can discuss it among yourselves. Of course, don't hesitate to come to

me if you need my help.”

Truth be told, William really wanted to help out. However, Tristan wanted to take care of everything himself, so he

barely had a chance to do so.

“Thank you, Old Mr. Lombard.”

Since Lincoln had a prior engagement, he soon left after chatting with them for a bit. He even told Ysabelle to

behave herself before leaving.

“Dad, don't you think I'm quite well-behaved?” Ysabelle felt aggrieved. I've been giving my relationship my all,

practicing my singing, and studying diligently. How am I not well-behaved?

“Yes, I'm pleased with your recent behavior too. I was just giving you a reminder.” As a father, Lincoln was

incredibly proud to have such a daughter.

Afterward, William and Tristan left for the study to discuss an important matter.

Only Sophie, Ysabelle, and Sarah remained in the living room.

“Hey, Sophie! How should I address you after you marry Uncle Tristan?” After Sophie married Tristan, she would

immediately have seniority over Ysabelle.

“Well, I don't really care about such formalities.” Sophie wasn't one to quibble over such matters.

“No can do! Uncle Tristan won't be pleased if he finds out.” Ysabelle still feared her uncle.

“Don't worry about it. I've got your back. You don't have to walk on eggshells around Tristan.”

Ysabelle hugged Sophie happily upon hearing that. She asked, “Sophie, are you really getting married? It feels so

unreal!” It was a peculiar feeling.

“What's so strange about it? People get married eventually.” But it isn't easy to marry someone you truly love.

“You have to be happy, Sophie!” Sarah smiled.

“Oh, Sarah, I'm sure you'll meet someone you truly love too.”

Sarah chose to remain silent. Will I fall in love with someone? I've never been in a proper relationship before, and

the only time I had feelings for someone was an unrequited crush. Honestly, when I think about it, I feel like such a

failure.

She suddenly thought of Juan and felt flustered. I have no idea what's on his mind. Is it possible that he's in love with

me?
