Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2372
"Haines, what do you mean?" Amy asked curiously.
Haines replied, "Fade had killed a few of the Song family's men and he had even harmed Hareeta, the young lady of the Song family. General Xu tried to make amends and put this matter to an end for the time being."
"However, the Song family has never truly let this go. They will never let him off easily."
"Furthermore, Hareeta is in Capital City now. When the time comes..."
"The Song family is a well-known real martial arts family. I heard that they are very powerful," Amy said.
Even Sabrina, who was not very familiar with martial arts, nodded in agreement at the side. "My grandfather seemed to have mentioned that the Song family was among the biggest and the most powerful families."
"Fade is a fool if he assumes that he'll be fine after offending the Song family. Hmph!" Haines snorted coldly, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
"Haines, let's go to the Huo family's house together to explain this matter to Mr. Hallem. With your status, Mr. Hallem will definitely change his mind and marry Sabrina off to you," Amy suddenly thought and spoke.
Haines' eyes lit up, then he shifted his gaze to Sabrina. After getting her consent, he nodded and agreed, "We can't wait any longer. Let's go now."
With that, the three of them headed towards the Huo family's house together.
In the meantime, Fade had just left a cafe. He called Galeno and briefly told him what had happened to give him a heads up. In case there were some misunderstandings, it would be difficult for him as a middleman.
Fade then returned home after he hung up his phone.
As for Haines, Amy, and Sabrina, they had arrived at the Huo family's house.
Hallem, the Huo family's old master, had been sitting in the hall for a long time, waiting for his granddaughter's return.
Upon seeing Sabrina entering, the old man stood up from his seat eagerly and greeted her expectantly. He then asked, "Sabrina, how was it? Did Mr. Chen accept you?"
Sabrina was wondering how she should tell her grandfather the news when Amy came in with a smile.
"Mr. Hallem, I'm here to see you." Amy beamed as she quickly walked over to him.
"Amy, you're here! Are you here to hang out with Sabrina?" Hallem smiled as he greeted her back. It was obvious that he was very familiar with her.
Amy smiled as she pointed at Haines, who was behind her, and said, "Mr. Hallem, I came with my brother."
"Oh..." Hallem's expression shifted when he saw him. He then smiled and said, "Haines, you're back?"
Haines nodded, took out a gift box and handed it over to Hallem with both hands. "Mr. Hallem, I've just returned from the real martial arts family and I brought you a gift. I hope you like it."
Off to the side, Amy spoke up, "Mr. Hallem, my brother has specially brought these tea leaves from the real martial arts family. It's said that it could prolong one's life and is very precious. He specially prepared this gift for you."
"You are so considerate, Haines." Mr. Hallem smiled and waved his hand, signaling his housekeeper to keep the gift box away.
Then, he glanced across his granddaughter and Haines, and he seemed to be in deep thoughts.
He paused for a second and said to the steward, "Please invite Haines and Amy to the living room. I'll change my clothes and head over soon."
They followed the housekeeper to the living room. Sabrina also turned around to follow them.
However, Hallem stopped his granddaughter and said, "Sabrina, wait a minute. I have something to say to you."
"Grandpa, I..." She felt a little confused.
However, when she turned around and saw the look on her grandfather's face, she immediately understood his thoughts and her expression sank.
Haines and Amy, who were about to leave, couldn't help but stop as well.
Haines' face was determined as if he'd made up his mind when he turned around and walked to the front of Hallem. "Mr. Hallem, there's something I want to talk to you about." "What's the matter?" Hallem looked at him with a serious expression.
Haines glanced at Sabrina and went on to say, "Mr. Hallem, Sabrina and I have grown up together. We love each other and I wish to marry her."
"This..." Hallem's face darkened as he snapped, "It's a little sudden, isn't it?"
Haines said firmly, "Mr. Hallem, I know it's a little abrupt but I really love Sabrina."
"If you agree, the Wei family will propose a formal marriage to you tomorrow."
Hallem took a look at his granddaughter, who was lowering her head shyly. His expression turned even more serious.
After a brief moment of silence, he spoke sternly, "Marriage is a major event in life. You are the legitimate son of the Wei family. It's best for you to be more cautious in matters of this sort." "Mr. Hallem, I am serious. Sabrina and I..." Haines' voice gushed agitatedly.
However, before he could even finish his words, Hallem's expression darkened. "Sabrina is still young. We have to think twice about her marriage."
"Grandpa, I'm not a kid anymore. I like him too..." Sabrina also voiced out as she tried to speak up for Haines.
However, Hallem glared at her and cut her off, "The family will deal with your affairs."
Then, he stared firmly at Haines and said, "It's getting late. Haines, you've just returned and the Wei family must be waiting for you. I won't keep you any longer."
It was obvious that he meant to drive them away.
Haines' and Amy's faces sank, and they became agitated.
"Mr. Hallem, my brother, he..."
"Mr. Hallem, I'm in love with Sabrina..."
Before the two of them could finish, Hallem waved his hand and interrupted, "I've grown tired today. Sabrina, take me to my room!"
She had no choice but to support her grandfather as they walked to the bedroom.
The housekeeper, on the other hand, began to see the guests out.
In the Huo family's backyard, Sabrina bit her soft lips. Her charming eyes were filled with tears, as if she was about to cry.
Hallem glanced at his granddaughter and sighed. "Sabrina, I know you're going to blame me, but you have to believe that I'm doing this for your own good, for the sake of the entire Huo family." "I..." She wanted to speak up.
However, Harlem did not give her a chance at all. "How was your meeting with Mr. Chen?
What happened? How was his attitude?"
She held back her tears and explained the whole thing to her grandfather.
After hearing the entire story, he frowned and questioned, "So what you're saying is that you two didn't come to an agreement. Mr. Chen didn't present a good attitude and Haines stepped in to solve the issue. Later, they two had a conflict and even broke into a fight?"
"Yes!" Sabrina nodded and muttered, a little distressed. "Haines got hurt because of Fade."
After saying that, she took a deep breath and mustered up her courage. She looked up at her grandfather and blurted out, "Grandpa, I think Fade and I..."
"Nonsense..." At this moment, Hallem's face was gloomy and his expression sank.
Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, he was already fuming with rage.
However, just as he was about to lose his temper, his cell phone rang.
His expression immediately shifted when he
saw the caller's name shown on the screen. His tone became gentle and even carried a hint of a smile when he spoke. "Master Zhu, you..."
