Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 41

"Mr. Charles..." My head went blank as I looked at Kieran in shock.

Kieran jerked me into his embrace and darted a glance at me. In that glance, I travelled through hell and heaven. I froze and didn't dare make a sound.

I sensed coldness in his arms, as if I had been in the ice scarred world of winter. But for some reason, the warmth I felt inside overshadowed that sensation.

The employees surrounded us. As if having witnessed the Armageddon, they gaped at us, and some of them even fainted. Before falling to the ground, they muttered to themselves, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

In the crowd, Everly glared, her beautiful eyes bursting with hostility and jealousy, and took off glumly.

"You...," Shania said hesitantly with tears welling in her eyes. Before she could finish her words, Marvin pulled her behind himself, fawning over Kieran, "What a surprise to meet you here, Mr. Charles."

"This is my company. A surprise is far-fetched," Kieran said slowly and stroked my long hair.

Although I enjoyed the warmth that Kieran's embrace gave off, I also felt like a bunny clutched by a tiger, ready to be played.

I was stiff as a board but managed to put on a smile. I cooperated with Kieran in every way even though I didn't know what he wanted.

"Yes! Yes!" Marvin was sweating profusely in fear. Shania, who was behind him, looked at me with a complicated gaze, but she did not dare to make any big moves.

"Rachael, I heard a noise just now. What's going on?" Kieran lowered his head and asked me in an unprecedented gentle voice.

"There was no noise. It was merely a harmless joke!" Before I could say anything, Marvin quickly answered.

"But I heard someone say you had kidnapped your brother!"

"Well...." Marvin didn't know how to reply. He winked at me repeatedly, hinting it was my turn to speak, but I acted as if I had missed the signal.

"Mr. Cornell, don't wrongly accuse my Rachael. I invited Davidson to my house!" Kieran squinted and smiled, but his expression was brimming with coldness.

"Davidson is one lucky kid!" Marvin emphasized.

"Mr. Cornell, this is Universal Group. If you're done here, you should leave Rachael to her work!" As Kieran spoke, his lip curled up.

"Right, right. We will leave immediately!" Marvin hastily pulled Shania and the others to leave. After walking some steps away, he looked back at me with a complicated look.

Kieran turned around and his eyes swept the crowd. In an instant, all the onlookers fled in a flutter.

I was impressed by their quick reaction.

Kieran let go of me and turned around to leave. I regained my senses and hastily said, "Mr. Charles, thank you!"

Shania also walked over grinning. She reached out to touch my head, but I coldly dodged. She wasn't embarrassed and smiled, "I instructed the housekeeper to prepare dinner. Let's go home and eat!"

I took a step back and said coldly, "That's your home. Please don't disgust me!"

At that, I was leaving. But Marvin grabbed me, still looking patient. "Rachael, Dad knows he has neglected you over the years, and that's why you nurse a grudge against me. But you should understand I have been busy taking care of the company. Of course, Dad promises from now on, he will never do it again and make up to you hard!"

I watched calmly as Marvin and Shania put on a show.

"Rachael, look, you should get married at this age. Tell Dad if there's anyone you like. Are you dating that Mr. Charles?" Marvin took pains to get to the point.

I smiled. Now I knew why he was doing this. He wanted to make friends with Kieran!

"Sorry, Mr. Cornell, I'm afraid your plan will be nullified. Besides, I have nothing to do with you or the Cornells!" I sneered.

Marvin was enraged but calmed himself down, smiling, "Rachael, I don't blame you. I know you've thought I was bad since you were a child, but this time, I really want to do something nice for you. You're my daughter, so I can't let you just marry some guy. I have to check him out first. How about this? Tell Mr. Charles to come over for dinner, so that we can get to know each other!"

"No way!" I said briefly.

Marvin laughed. "If you are not going to call him, then I am!" As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
