41 Hijack (2/2)

Senior Liu suddenly interrupted and said, ”Let's all head to the dining room because I'm sure you are hungry because of the long ride.”

Jeru was a pure gentleman along the way as he seated beside Keira. His attention was obviously pointed only towards her.

He even assisted her with her food.

”Thank you... But can I please get it by myself? I hate the feeling when someone is assisting me. Actually, it feels like I'm disabled though I'm not. I'm so sorry, but it's just that I'm twisted most of the time.” She said apologetically to Jeru and she meant every word of it.

She felt pity for the guy. But then what she could do? She did not want to give Jeru the slightest hint to misinterpret her that she was on an agreement with the absurd marriage.

Keira noticed that Old Madam Liu was observing her and scrutinizing her every move with that sharp eyes of hers.

Everything was purely silent during dinner and she was sure it wouldn't end just like that.

They all were invited to the living room to have tea and talk about the arranged marriage.

Keira felt that this meeting was the most sluggish thing she ever had attended in her whole life.

”I will get straight to the point of why we have invited your family for dinner…” Old Madam began and looked intently at Keira as she continued explaining the Liu Family's intention to ask the Chan Family for Keira's hand.

Keira creased her forehead and spoke as soon as Old Madam Liu finished her piece. She felt like it would take forever because Old Madam Liu stated every advantage the Lius had to offer.

”Before you all start talking, being the main person involved in this meeting, I want to say something…”

Old Madam Liu's face crumpled. 'How impetuous!' she wanted to tell in a loud voice but controlled herself.

With a forced smile, she said, ”Alright, let's hear out Keira and what she's about to say first since the matter involves her and Jeru.”

Field Marshal Chan looked at his wife with a questioning expression as if asking whether she knew anything about Keira's plan but the latter just answered him by shrugging her shoulders.

Then, he looked at Keira and waited for what his daughter wanted to say. All he remembered was that Keira mumbled that she won't let all of them hijack the conversations.
