Chapter 1025: Chapter 1028: She Followed Richard Coldwell Chapter 1025: Chapter 1028: She Followed Richard Coldwell He seemed to never step into the mundane world, always looking down on all beings with detached disdain.
Gazing at the pettiness and struggles of common men.
Lily even doubted for a while that Richard Coldwell was a man without emotions.
Sexually indifferent, or perhaps even emotionally disabled.
He was like a cold robot, able to accomplish everything mechanically, but also rationally and calmly without any emotion.
David Redington once mocked Richard Coldwell, saying that he had lived nearly thirty years and probably had never had any contact with a woman.
“Mr. Coldwell…” Lily tried to make her tone as soft as possible, “Abbie and Lulu are very mischievous, and I'm afraid they might annoy you. If it's convenient for you, you could let my Daddy and mother or David Redington pick them up. If it's not convenient, I can make the call on your behalf.”
Lily knew that Richard Coldwell disliked children.
This was also the reason why she was extremely reluctant to enter into an arranged marriage with him.
Lily thought that the two little lads had caused some trouble for Richard Coldwell outside, which was why he had detained them.
“No need,” Richard Coldwell responded indifferently, “We're not in Europe, we're in Eastonia. They are with me.”
“What… How can you bring them back to Eastonia?”
Lily did not doubt Richard Coldwell's words at all.
Richard Coldwell never lied; not because he couldn't but because he disdained to do so.
Moreover, she knew that her mother had always wanted to set her up with Richard Coldwell.
The Redington and Borkin families had always had deep connections; they would certainly trust him with the two little kids.
But still… Lily was worried.
“Where are you? I want to see you now!”
The two little ones were so scared of Richard Coldwell; how could they possibly be alone with him?
Especially Lulu, who was so timid and would cry at the slightest fright.
Expecting Richard Coldwell, with his poker face, to comfort the children was utterly impossible.
He hadn't picked up Lulu and thrown her out, which was already a mercy.
“We are in B City. Hurry over here, I need to see you.” On the other end of the phone, the man's handsome features remained expressionless as ever, his tone equally indifferent and cold, with no change whatsoever.
“I am in B City now. Where are you? I want to see you now!”
Lily felt incredibly relieved that she happened to be in B City now.
The man's dark blue pupils paused for a moment.
But soon, they returned to normal.
“Hmm, I'll give you the address, and I'll send someone to pick you up. Let's have a proper talk, and afterward, I will let you see them.”
Lily clenched her teeth.
She knew what Richard Coldwell wanted to talk to her about.
It was the same old thing, demanding that she enter into a marriage with him.
In the past, she could avoid Richard Coldwell and ignore him.
But tonight, she knew she had no way to refuse.
“Fine, I'm at the XX Hotel. Send someone to pick me up. Richard Coldwell… I only hope that before we settle things, you can treat Abbie and Lulu well. They are my treasures, and also the treasures of the Redington family. The Redington and Borkin families have shared a century-long friendship, I hope it won't be ruined by your hand.”
Richard Coldwell was too powerful; Lily had no chance to threaten him on her own.
She could only leverage the name of the Redington family, hoping that this man would have some apprehension.
“Rest assured, as long as you behave, I won't lay a hand on the kids.”
With that, the call was cut off.
Holding her cell phone with a sense of unease, Lily quickly changed her clothes.
She couldn't wait a moment longer, immediately processing the checkout with Sadie, anxiously waiting in the hotel lobby.
Moments later, an off-road vehicle with a military plate appeared outside the hotel.
The person Aidan Lucas had assigned to follow Lily watched, wide-eyed, as she got into the military vehicle.
