The President’s Stubborn Love

Chapter 184 – A sense of boundaries



Sherry had almost eaten and was going to sort out their relationship, she didn’t want to be Edward’s lover and since she knew he didn’t really like her, there was really no point, dragging it out.

“I’ve heard that Mr. Edward is engaged to the Garcia Family.” Sherry’s crystal eyes looked up at him, her tone so calm and gentle in this moment.

As if he had expected her to ask this, Edward didn’t lie and confessed, “Yes.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“So, I think …”

“I’m going to withdraw from the marriage tomorrow.”

His words came quickly.

Sherry didn’t expect him to answer so quickly, but after a momentary lapse of concentration, she laughed sarcastically, “Does Mr. Edward take me for a three-year-old? A family like yours should not be able to refuse a marriage contract set by your elders, right?”

Previously Aaron and Nola, even if it was set in stone by the family, even if Aaron didn’t like it, he would have valued the benefits of working with the Garcia Family and it wasn’t difficult to marry a woman he didn’t love for the future of the Night Group and his own prospects.

Thinking of him again, Sherry’s fingers clenched in her palm, a little hard to bear but bearable.

She decided that Edward was merely going along with her words.

He can withdraw from a marriage if he wants to? Then why all the years of delay.

Or is it that some kind of change in the Garcia Family’s relationship with Colin Family has occurred, that he has long thought of withdrawing from the marriage, and that these words to Sherry are nothing more than a sophomoric remark.

Sherry looked at the expression on the man’s face in front of her and just felt that his dark eyes were like a pool of water that was about to suck her soul in.

“Just for a moment there, you were thinking of someone else.”

He was speaking in the affirmative.

Sherry’s mind was read, but she didn’t hide it half-heartedly, “Isn’t being at the same table with a man who has a fiancée enough to allow my mind to wander? Let’s, well, let’s have each other.”

Edward laughed at her remark.

A hint of a smile swept through his deep dark eyes as he tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and for the first time, he bothered with the human side of things outside of business.

What to do to convince the shrewd and suspicious woman in front of him that he was really interested in her as a person.

However, from what Sherry had just said, he sensed one thing: the wound she had suffered before was still fresh, or rather, it had festered into a scar in her heart, making her afraid to touch any relationship again.

He was so smart and conscientious in Ryan’s company, and he was doing his job so well, but when he sat in front of him, he became so fearful.

None other than, hurt scared.

Edward has not come to this conclusion because he has had many previous relationships; the truth is that Edward has not been in a relationship since he was ten years old and learned that he had a fiancée who passed away at birth.

With the title of the Garcia Family’s future son-in-law, all the dames and daughters only adore him but are afraid to get close, like Flair, who has only recently become aware of the Garcia Family’s intention to marry their cousin to Edward in lieu of that marriage, so they have all started to jump at the chance.

Why does Edward have to be from the Garcia Family when he can marry another woman?

His little gesture, which fell on Sherry’s eyes, added a little something else to it.

Edward weighs in.

Weighing whether she was worth the trouble he took.

Sherry took a sip of the cold lemonade and felt her brain cells wake up, “Before you said you’d give me time to think about it and said I could take my time, I’ve thought about it now and I don’t want to talk to you …”

“Wait a minute.”

He spoke up and interrupted her.

“I wonder if you could hear my terms first? Even if we’re talking business, let’s all get right down to business and run through the chips.”

Without waiting for Sherry to say anything, Edward leaned back slightly on the sofa, his already tall figure looking imposing at the moment.

“I’m the only son in my family, but they never disciplined me in life. I have a total of eighteen group companies under my name, the strongest being the Zillions Group, which is already listed, and there are too many subsidiaries, if you will.”

“You can live whatever life you want with me, money, house, car, bag, take your pick, it’s not that I think you’re greedy, but I think that material conditions are also a guarantee for a relationship to develop further.”

This, Sherry agrees.

Money is really important and she needs it.

She owed Aaron more than she could ever repay in her lifetime.

But she still had to pay it back, as much as she could.

Edward’s speech was unhurried as he continued, “The only condition is that if our relationship develops well and you are not unhappy with me, I would like to get married as soon as possible, my parents are waiting to have grandchildren.”

Sherry had never been on a blind date, but she thought that if Edward had gone on a blind date, he would have been married the same day on such terms.

“Why, is it me?”

Sherry hesitated, but asked the same old question again.

The man gazed at her, his gaze stoic and serious, “Why, can’t it be you?”

Such arguments were inconclusive by the time they left the hotel.

The two men stood side by side in the lift, a little distance apart, and the doors opened just in time to see Flair standing there with some female friends.

“Edward, you …”

Flair was excited and happy to see him, but then she noticed that he was out alone with Sherry, and her anger went straight to her head.

She had already secretly had someone check it out last time. This Sherry, who had no family background, had a very bad love history and had even been in jail.

The Colin Family would be too dirty for a woman like this to be offered to Edward.

She had no business standing next to Edward and breathing the same air as him.

For just a moment, without hesitation, she squeezed right into the lift and stood between the two of them.

“What happened last time was a complete misunderstanding, and I’ve thought it over carefully since I got home. You were only playing games with her, and it won’t do any damage to your reputation as long as you break off your relationship.”

She looked like she had Edward’s best interests at heart.

Sherry was pushed back a little but remained silent.

She seems to be used to having dirt thrown at her, being disliked, and then … ruthlessly discarded after being used as a pawn.

Aaron does, so she occasionally thinks that all men in the world do that.

With scruples in mind, one would not dare to take that step again.

Just as Sherry was looking down and thinking about how she was going to leave, a hand pushed Flair away.

He then walked up to her, lifted his hand and took her by the shoulders, his face expressionless, even cold, and warned Flair, “Miss. If the Dynasty Group still wants to work with the Zillions Group, then keep your mouth shut and don’t let me hear anything else I don’t want to hear.”

His tone was not heavy.

But it sounded cold and there was no wiggle room, a hard line with Flair.
