“Mrs. Brown, I really didn’t do it on purpose! I slipped just now and bumped into Aren. Please don’t be angry with me!”
Maria pretended to be anxious and looked at Grandma. “I stained Master Aren’s clothes. I will pay for it.”
Keller looked at Maria curiously. The crowd understood the trick she was playing perfectly, and they secretly despised her for her actions. However, they couldn’t expose her right now.
Mrs. Brown was happy to see that there were women who could interact with Arun. She said, “”Why would Aren ask you to pay? Oh, you’re such a polite girl!”
When Grandma heard Maria’s words, she smiled until her eyes narrowed. She looked at Maria kindly and said to Aren, “Aren, don’t always look so cold. Hurry up and get a chair for this lady to sit. I want to talk to her and understand her a little more.”
“Yes!” James immediately got into the car and started the engine.
Aren signaled to the maid beside him to bring a chair over.
“Grandma, I need to change my clothes.”
After saying that, he signaled to Keller, who was beside him, to look after his grandma, and then walked towards his room.
Maria, who had stayed, sat on a chair brought over by the maid. She sat beside Madam Brown and smiled as she enthusiastically answered her questions.
The other girls at the party were furious. They stood on the spot and looked at Maria angrily, wanting to slap her.
“Hello, Grandma. My name is Maria. My father is the leader of the Wilson family. I have an elder sister at home…” Maria was extremely happy. She sat on the stool and answered the questions from Mrs. Brown with a smile.
Although Aren took this opportunity to sneak out of the party, Maria successfully attracted the attention of his grandmother.
The rich girls at the party were all waiting for Master Aren to come back. But at the end of the party, Madam Brown suddenly realized that Aren didn’t come back at all.
“Go and see why Aren is not back yet.” Mrs. Brown said to the maid, who immediately nodded and walked towards Aren’s room.
Soon, Aren came out of the room.
“Aren, the party is about to end. Help me send Miss Maria home. Also, say hello to Wilson and his wife for me!” Mrs. Brown nodded at Maria and said.
“What…” Aren heard his grandmother’s words as soon as he walked into the hall. He frowned and wanted to reject her.
“What is it, Aren? You don’t want to reject me, do you?” Mrs. Brown looked sad.
At this moment, everyone understood that the old madam probably wanted to matchmake Ah Lun and Maria. She was very satisfied with Miss Maria.
The girls around looked at Maria enviously. They felt jealous and wished that they were the ones standing next to Mrs. Brown.
Keller gave Arun a sympathetic look and sighed to himself.
“Alright, I’ll send this lady back!” Aren had to nod in agreement.
His grandmother hoped that they could spend more time together so that they could develop feelings for each other and get married as soon as possible.
Aren had no choice but to promise his grandmother. After all, sending someone home was not all that hard.
Aren looked at Maria and extended his hand to give her a gentleman’s bow. He said politely, “Please!”
At this moment, Maria was extremely excited. She felt like she was blessed by the God of Luck. From the first time she saw Master Aren, she had fallen in love with him.
With a little trick, she actually made Young Master Aren send her home!
This was an unexpected surprise. Thanks to the trick her mother taught her, she pretended to accidentally fall into Aren’s arms, which indeed facilitated their relationship.
“Thank you, Master Aren!”
Maria shyly bowed to Alun with a smile.
Aren gave her a cold look and walked straight out without saying anything.
“Aren, remember you must send Miss Maria home safely. Don’t be rude!” Seeing Aren’s cold expression, Mrs. Brown couldn’t help but remind him.
“Don’t worry, Grandma!” Aren replied without looking back.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the door and got into a car that had been parked outside a long time ago. After the sound of an engine could be heard, the car sped towards the Wilsons’ mansion.
Aren acted like he was unapproachable in the car, not giving Maria a chance to talk. The driver in the car seemed to sense his master’s mood, so he sped on, trying to reach the destination as soon as possible.
“Everything went so smoothly!. I have to send a message to Father quickly to get them to prepare dinner.” Maria was extremely happy as she sat in the luxurious car and looked at the scenery along the way. She immediately took out her phone and sent a message, telling her father to ask Aren to stay for dinner.
Time passed quickly. After more than ten minutes, the car steadily stopped at the gate of the Wilson mansion.
The servant rushed over and opened the gate. She stood respectfully at the door, waiting for their miss to come out.
Maria pushed open the car door and said to the servant with a charming smile. “Father asked you to wait here, right?”
“Yes, Miss! After Mr. Willson saw your message, he asked me to wait here for you and Master Aren.” The servant nodded respectfully and replied.
At this moment, Aren had already gotten out of the car. He politely nodded at Maria and said, “I will leave the car here. Let me send you in. Otherwise, Grandma will blame me.”
Although he sent Miss Maria back, his attitude didn’t seem to have changed much. He was still cold.
But Maria did not feel that his attitude was inappropriate. Instead, the anticipation and joy in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she also liked Aren more and more.
“Come on in, Aren. Father and Mother are waiting for us inside!” Maria blushed and replied gently.
Aren followed Maria’s footsteps towards the mansion. They passed a large garden and saw Wilson and his wife waiting at the entrance of the mansion.
“They’re your parents, right?” Aren asked.
“Yes, Master Aren!” Hearing Arun’s question, Maria felt even more shy and excited.
Step by step, they walked quickly towards the middle-aged couple standing there. The couple looked at the two of them walking closer and smiled in satisfaction. They looked at Aren as if they were looking at a mobile ATM.
The Brown family was wealthy, and Master Aren was a business genius.
They were very satisfied with him. If they could get close to the Brown family, they would be able to hold their heads high in New York City in the future.
Aren walked up to the Wilsons and forced a polite smile on his cold face.
“Master Aren, thank you for sending my daughter back. Please come in and rest. I’ve prepared top-grade tea!” Mr. Willson looked at Aren with satisfaction and spoke first.
“Yes, please come in.” Maria’s mother hurriedly said.
Everyone in New York wanted Aren, the successor of the Brown family, to be their son-in-law, so the Wilsons would try their best to make him stay.
Aren was unmoved by their enthusiasm. He still maintained a faint smile on his face and calmly rejected, “Thank you for your enthusiasm, but unfortunately, I still have something to do in the company and don’t have time to drink tea here. I’m really sorry!”
His words were polite but also made people feel that he was not easy to approach.
Mr. Willson hesitated for a moment, looking disappointed.
However, Maria’s mother quickly reacted. She secretly nudged Mr. Wilson with her elbow, hinting at him not to be overhasty. She smiled and said, “Aren, you can go ahead. You’re welcome here at any time. Maria is waiting for you at home.”
“Yes, Aren. You can come over when you have time!”
Maria immediately understood what her mother meant and said. The fact that Aren sent her home was already a huge victory for her today.
“Alright, see you around then, Mr. Wilson, Mrs.. Wilson, and Miss Maria!” Aren smiled in satisfaction.
