Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2375

Early the next morning, Fade received a phone call from Galeno as soon as he woke up.

He was unable to hide his surprise when he picked up the call. "Master Zhu, are you saying that Mr. Hallem is bringing Sabrina along with him to apologize to me?"

"I don't think that's necessary! Moreover, I've already clarified the matter between us at the cafe. I don't think it's necessary..."

On the other end, Galeno stated, "Hallem made it clear that he's not here to talk about the marriage proposal. He just wants to apologize for what happened at the cafe on behalf of his granddaughter." "Well, I don't think that's necessary. It's just a small matter. I didn't take it to heart," Fade said.

Galeno said somewhat helplessly, "Hallem has already arrived at my house. My wife is entertaining him at the entrance. We'll be setting off in a bit. I have no choice but to trouble you on this matter." "I... Fine!" Fade sighed in defeat and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Fade told his wife about it and prepared himself.

At nine o'clock sharp in the morning, Hallem, Sabrina, Galeno and his wife, Rosalie, headed to Chen's residence.

Galenon was an elder, so it was only natural for Fade to treat him well. He brought them to the living room and served them hot tea.

After exchanging a few greetings, they finally got down to business.

Hallem put down his teacup, stood up, and walked to stand in front of Fade. "Mr. Chen, I apologize on behalf of my granddaughter for offending you at the cafe yesterday."

After that, he bowed to him apologetically.

Sabrina, who was at the side, quickly lowered her head and bowed as well.

Upon seeing this, Fade quickly said, "Mr. Hallem, Miss Huo, there's no need to take it so seriously. It was just a small matter. I didn't take it to heart." "Mr. Chen, you're simply being magnanimous. Anyhow, it's our fault, and so, we have to apologize," Hallem replied, giving a side glance to his granddaughter.

Immediately, Sabrina took out a gift box and passed it to Fade. "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry for being rude yesterday. This little gift is a token of my regard."

He waved his hand and said it didn't matter. Then, he took the gift and put it aside.

Upon seeing this, Hallem's eyes lit up as he quickly added, "Mr. Chen, Sabrina spent all night to prepare this gift for you in order to express her gratitude."

Sabrina's face blushed red. She lowered her head shyly and muttered, "I'm happy as long as you accept my gift, Mr. Chen."

Fade was taken aback at their actions.

He had accepted it absent-mindedly because he took it as a token of regard.

However, now, the two of them made it seem like it was a keepsake of love.

He understood what the other party was implying and he instantly drew a line. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hallem and Miss Huo. It doesn't matter what the gift is. What's important is that don't have anything to do with the Huo family and I don't have any ill intentions towards you."

It was obvious that Fade didn't want to have anything to do with the Huo family.

Sabrina's face fell dramatically and her lips trembled slightly.

However, Hallem remained calm, as if he didn't understand Fade's words at all. He spoke up, "It's our honor to be acknowledged by you, Mr. Chen."

"This..." Fade was speechless.

Hallem then added, "Mr. Chen, my granddaughter Sabrina has always been interested in martial arts. I heard that you are extremely talented and are quite capable."

"Sabrina admires you very much and wishes to learn martial arts from you. I wonder if you can..."

"Mr. Chen, I like martial arts very much." She clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Fade sincerely.

Fade frowned slightly and said, "You flatter me, Mr. Hallem. It's just that my martial arts is a little special and a large part of it requires self-exploration and practice."

"Miss Huo, if you wish to learn martial arts, you'd better find a professional martial arts trainer and start from the basics. It's better to learn step by step."

Hallem's expression fell when he heard his words. Nevertheless, he was quick to rebut, "We have tried to hire a basic martial arts trainer but it didn't work out very well. Thus, Sabrina hopes to learn from a top master like you."

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you have a female disciple whose name is Jasmine! If you agree, Sabrina can learn with her!"

"Jasmine, I know her," Sabrina spoke up.

Apparently, the other party would not let him off easily. Fade couldn't help but frown. He paused for a moment before rejecting their request politely, "Jasmine is indeed my disciple but she's different from any other average martial artist. I'm afraid it won't benefit you if you learn with her."

"I..." Sabrina stammered awkwardly with mixed feelings.

After all, she was known for her beauty in Capital City. To put it simply, she was top-notch in all aspects.

She had been humble all this while to please Fade but he did not fall for it at all. Even worse, he kept rejecting her. This made her feel a little strange.

However, she recalled her grandfather's words from the night before, so she tried to suppress her slight dissatisfaction and held her tongue.

As for Hallem, he obviously picked up on Fade's avoidance.

He avoided Fade's gaze and looked at the two other people in the room.

Galeno picked up his teacup and drank it, pretending that he had not seen it.

However, Rosalie couldn't hold it in anymore. After all, she was a relative to the Huo family.

She looked at Fade and spoke up, "Fade, Sabrina just wants to learn some self-defense skills. The lesson doesn't require any in-depth skills."

"The other professional trainers are old, and it's inconvenient for them to get along with Sabrina. She is about the same age as you, so you two can get along better and it will take half the effort to teach her." "This..." Fade had to take Galeno into consideration as well. For a moment, he was speechless.

Upon seeing this, Galeno glanced sideways at his wife. He put down his cup, looked at Hallem and said, "Hallem, everyone knows what's going on. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"I'll put it bluntly. Sabrina is a good girl and she is excellent in all aspects."

"However, when it comes to relationships, you can't force it. Thus, let's forget about marrying her off to Fade!"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

After all, no one had expected that he would address the elephant in the room.

For a second, the atmosphere fell to an awkward silence.

However, Hallem was experienced and he soon came to his senses. He smiled and said, "Since Master Zhu has said so, I won't hide it anymore."

"Mr. Chen, my granddaughter, Sabrina, admires you very much. She hopes that she can spend the rest of her life with you."

"Of course, we also agree with her. If she marries you, our family will do our best to support you."
