The Billionaire’s Temporary Bride

Chapter 386 There Is a Tough Battle Ahead



Sachin gently stroked her soft hair and said in a deep and gentle tone, “Rosiley, don’t worry. There will always be a way.”

“Will you help me?” Rosiley turned to look at him, with her bright eyes filled with anticipation.

Sachin raised his eyebrows slightly. The answer was obvious. Nonetheless, he asked Rosiley to have a guess.

Rosiley smiled and said, “No.”

She knew that he would help her, so there was no need to guess.

Sachin smiled and stroked her head, saying, “Wait for the good news.”

“OK.” She nodded obediently.

“It’s time for dinner.”

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded. Rosiley immediately sat up straight and looked over, seeing that Payton was waiting them in the dining hall.

“We’ll be right there,” Rosiley replied, then stood up and walked towards the dining hall.

“Sachin, father wants me to go home.”

In the middle of dinner, Payton suddenly said this.

Rosiley looked up at him in surprise.

What? Was the Lu family going to start picking on Payton?

“Tell him that you won’t go back.” Sachin said calmly, and there was not the slightest bit of surprise on his face.

He knew his father. Since he had already made a decision, he would take action sooner or later.

However, his father had forgotten that Payton had a big brother behind him, so how could he allow him to be hurt?

“That’s what I told him.” Payton frowned and pondered for a moment, asking, “Did anything happen when you went back home last time? Otherwise, why would he want me to go back?”

Hearing this, Rosiley and Sachin exchanged glances and pursed their lips. When they returned from the Lu family, neither she nor Sachin told Payton and the others about the specific situation. They only casually said that father did not agree to their marriage.

Because they didn’t want to bring unnecessary trouble to Payton and Juliet, so they tried their best to protect them. But now when Payton asked, she didn’t know how to answer.

“Why aren’t you answering?” Payton looked at them confusedly.

Rosiley raised her eyebrows and put a shrimp in his bowl. She smiled and said, “This is your favorite shrimp.”

Payton looked at her, who was smiling faintly, then looked down at the big shrimp in the bowl. After thinking for a while, he looked up at them again and said resolutely, “You must be hiding something from me.”

Rosiley helplessly turned to look at Sachin. He slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Payton, saying, “What do you think we’re hiding from you?”

Payton frowned and said, “Apart from not accepting your marriage, father must have said something else, like threats.”

He indeed knew his father so well.

Rosiley raised her eyebrows and thought that it was unnecessary to hide it from Payton now. He could at least be prepared if they told him this.

Thus, she said, “Payton, you’re right. Your father did threaten Sachin, but … he threatened Sachin with you.”

“Me?” Payton raised his eyebrows in surprise, asking, “Why?”

“Because you are Sachin’s younger brother.”

Payton sneered in disbelief and said, “I’m also his son! I can’t believe he threatened Sachin with me. He’s really ‘a good father’!”

Hearing his mocking words, Rosiley curled her lips and said, “He wanted to control Sachin by controlling you. This was the first time I had seen such a vicious father.”

In comparison, he was even worse than her father.

“Bullshit!” Payton felt extremely angry. He wished he could go back home now and directly break off the father-son relationship with him.

If it weren’t for his mother, he really wanted to do this so that he wouldn’t cause trouble for his brother.

“What should we do now?” Payton asked.

“Wait and see.” Sachin was still calm, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with him.

He was mentally prepared.

So, this was the reason why he was so calm.

Payton pursed his lips and leaned back, saying, “This is the only way now.”

Looking at the food that Sasha had prepared at the table in front of her, she felt that she wasn’t in the mood to eat anymore.

The vibe became somewhat dull. Rosiley looked at Payton, then at Sachin. One was angry and the other was calm. Their expressions were completely different.

She couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Alright, stop at this point. We still need to eat. Otherwise, how would we have the energy to face what might happen next?”

Hearing this, Payton immediately picked up the chopsticks on the table and said, “Rosiley, you’re right. We need to eat more so that we can fight with the great devil!”

After saying that, he picked up a bowl and started to gobble as if he had been hungry for several days.

Seeing this, Rosiley laughed. His emotions indeed changed quickly.

She turned around and noticed that Sachin was still motionless. She raised her eyebrows gently, looked at his cold face, then put some food in his bowl and whispered, “Have more. You’ve lost weight recently.”

Sachin turned to look at her and said with a smile, “Thank you for your concern, my lady.”

“You are welcome.” Rosiley glanced at him helplessly and urged him to eat quickly, otherwise the food would be cold.

The orange lights shone down, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. They ate silently, and none of them spoke.

But in their hearts, they knew clearly that there was a tough battle ahead.

Everything that was unknown made them feel a bit worried inside.

After sending Yayoi and her parents back home, Maddox went straight back to the Shen’s.

When he reached the second floor, he happened to see Wendy walking out of Old Master Shen’s room. He stopped walking, put his hands in his pockets and quietly looked at her.

Wendy had chatted with Old Master Shen for a long time. She didn’t leave the room until Old Master Shen was tired and fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, the moment she left the room, she happened to run into Maddox, who had just returned home.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly and said softly, “Maddox, you’re back.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Maddox replied with a smile, “Yes, I’m back.”

He walked towards her and then stopped in front of her. He glanced at Old Man Shen’s room and asked, “Is grandpa asleep?”

Wendy said, “Yes, he just fell asleep. You can go in and see him if you want.”

She thought that he wanted to go in and see Old Master Shen, so she retreated to the side.

“Since he is asleep, I won’t go in,” Maddox said, then he stared at Wendy, asking, “Wendy, do you have a minute? Shall we talk?”

“What?” Wendy widened her eyes in surprise.

She couldn’t believe that he wanted to talk with her.
