Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 11: I Won’t Agree



Jared had not anticipated that the person he had been searching for so long would appear here.

What was her relationship with the Reed family?This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Tina, too, had not expected to encounter the person she had saved that day, and for a moment, she was somewhat slow to react.

“Mr. Farrell, this is my granddaughter, Tina Reed,” Elizabeth introduced, pointing to Tina.

Jared’s fingers, resting on the arm of his wheelchair, twitched suddenly, and his peach blossom eyes, narrow and deep, looked at Tina with a trace of surprise on his handsome face.

Miss Reed?

Tina Reed?

The corners of Jared’s mouth involuntarily curled up. If his fiancee was her, then-Soon after, Elizabeth introduced to Tina, “This is Mr. Farrell, the head of the Farrell family, and this is his grandson, Jared.”

Upon hearing Jared’s name, Tina’s eyes lifted slightly with a touch of astonishment, and her gaze briefly flickered to his legs, her lips curling into a smile that was not quite a smile.

Jared, meeting her meaningful gaze, stretched out a hand to massage his temple, feeling rather helpless.

The woman he wanted to break the engagement with had saved his life.

And to top it off, she knew he was not disabled.

Tina withdrew her gaze from Jared and greeted them without any sense of inferiority, “Mr. Farrell, Mr. Jared. Hello.”

Jared nodded slightly.

Then, he suddenly spoke, “Miss Reed, I think you may have misunderstood. What I said that day was, I won’t agree!”

Tina, “!!!”

My goodness, are you even serious?!

What nonsense are you spouting?

Hayden, Nathan, “…”

His change of heart was faster than a woman’s!

They had heard him clearly that day; Jared had said he agreed!

Goodness gracious!

Now that he knew he was to marry another woman, he was quick to deny it?

If their brothers knew about this, they’d be shocked to the core!

Logan turned his head to look at Jared and suddenly laughed.

To get Jared to agree to an engagement with Miss Reed, he had tried every trick in the book, barely managing to deceive Jared into coming here.

And now, Miss Reed had turned out to be this Tina, and he didn’t even need to make a fuss; the boy had taken the initiative himself.

However…

Logan’s gaze lifted to Tina, a profoundly mysterious smile appearing on his lips. This real Miss Reed was going to be much tougher to handle than Amber, and his grandson might have to suffer a bit.

Logan’s thoughts returned to the present, and he stood up with a smile, “Tina! We came here today to discuss if you might reconsider your decision?”

He liked Tina more, and he admired her more.

Because from the moment she entered and learned of Jared’s identity, there was not a hint of disdain in her eyes, and he could even tell that her cancellation of the engagement was not because Jared was disabled.

Amber was different; she only had disdain and disgust for Jared.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Farrell, I am still young and not currently interested in marriage. Mr. Jared is so outstanding, he will surely find a good match,” Tina responded calmly, “Let’s call off this engagement!”

“I am disabled, good women are beyond my reach, and I have finally obtained such a favorable marriage proposition. It’s impossible to call it off. Perhaps you could make do, Miss Reed?” Jared’s voice was slow and deliberate.

Tina, “…”

Hayden and Nathan were even more astonished, staring at Jared in disbelief!

Holy smokes!

Big news!

Jared playing the rogue?

Logan was smiling so hard his eyes were nearly shut; his grandson had finally smartened up!

Jared lifted his gaze, looked at Tina’s unwell complexion, and with a curve of his lips, he then said to Elizabeth, “I think one month is too late for an engagement. Five days from now is a good date, don’t you think?”

“Yes, it is a good date!” Elizabeth hadn’t expected Jared to be so eager and was momentarily at a loss.

Fortunately, she had been through many events and quickly said, “Then let’s set the engagement for five days from now. According to the customs of Ensford, the engagement should be arranged by us, but I don’t know what you think?”

“Let’s do it this way,” Jared was in a good mood, his tone even carrying a hint of pleasure.

With that, they all left.

Upon leaving, Hayden felt a gaze upon him, and when he looked up, he met Tina’s clear eyes, his face flushing red.

It wasn’t until they had left the Reed family that Hayden came back to his senses, turning to Jared and saying, “Mr. Farrell, did you notice that Miss Reed kept lookingat me?”

Jared glanced at him indifferently, “I noticed.”

Hearing this, Hayden became excited, “Do you think she’s taken a liking to me?”

Jared’s eyes narrowed, a sharp glint passing through them like a blade.

Hayden shrank back a little, but still held his ground, “Then why do you think Miss Reed was looking at me?”

“Because you’re ugly,” Jared said expressionlessly.

Hayden, “…”

Moon Gate Estate.

After Jared and the others had left, Hugo turned to Elizabeth, “Mom! Why do you make decisions for Tina on your own? I’ve said it before, she will not marry Jared!”

Elizabeth sat back down, glancing at him indifferently, “Don’t say I’m heartless. There are still five days until the engagement; I’m giving you time to think it over.”

She lifted her eyes, her voice cool, “Don’t blame me for not warning you. Without the protection of the Reed family, I don’t know what kind of life you all could have. By the way, Zackary’s enrollment in that kindergarten was arranged by me. I heard they have some qualification assessment this year, and a child with average abilities like Zackary might not be admitted.”

Hugo suddenly looked up, “He’s your grandson! Mom! Do you really need to be so ruthless?”

“So, I’m giving you time to think,” she said.

Elizabeth took a sip of water, “Alright! I’m tired. You may leave.”

Hugo wanted to say more, but Elizabeth was no longer paying attention.

With no other choice, he could only leave with Jennie and Tina.

After they had gone, Amber approached Elizabeth, gently massaging her shoulders and whispered, “Grandma, do you think Dad will agree?”

Elizabeth, with her eyes closed, enjoying the comfort on her shoulders, her voice was faint, “He will agree. Without a place to live, without a job, what will he use to support his family? Amber, you have to understand, no matter how proud some people are, they have to bow their heads for a living.”

A cold light flashed briefly in Amber’s eyes, “But what if Dad finds a place to stay?”

“The little money he has in his hands, he can’t even think about renting a house, let alone affording their future meals,” Elizabeth said quietly, “Moreover, I’ve already talked to some people. In Ensford, most people will still give me face.”

Amber secretly felt relieved.
