Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 172

Experiencer and wiser, Mallory words caught the point, showing obviously biased to the Perez's.

The eyes of both Megan and Lexie lit up as they stared straight at Christian.

Christian's clear eyes looked calm and emotionless. Without any hesitation, he said, "Being my secretary is too tiring. It's okay for a man. But she is a girl. At this age, she should find a boyfriend to date. Staying by my side all day may ruin her reputation."

Pausing for a moment, he looked up at Megan with a smile and said, "Mrs. Perez, I am only doing this for her sake. She does not lack money. And she can make more friends if so."

"This..." Megan immediately choked.

These words directly interrupted their unspoken thoughts, telling everyone that he was completely not interested in Lexie.

Megan's expression became more awkward. She slightly turned her gaze towards her daughter, whose face was extremely pale even with make-up. 

She thought for a moment and then exchanged glances with Mallory, who nodded at her soothingly.

Lexie bit her lips, looked at him with a sad expression, saying: "Christian, I... "

Mallory suddenly turned her eyes towards her, giving her a hint of being quiet. Then, with a straight face, she leisurely said, "Since you are thinking about marriage for your employees, why aren't you thinking about yourself? Look at them, younger than you, but their children are 4 or 5 years old already."

Naturally, they were referring to Lexie's two cousins.

However, because they were too lazy and idle, they were forced to get married early, so as to avoid their reputation being ruined and no girl being willing to marry them.

The two cousins immediately put down their phones, raised their heads and giggled in agreement, "That's right, Mr. Miller, your career has already succeeded, and it’s time to think about getting married and having children. Otherwise, who will help you manage such a large foundation?"

Megan's expression changed and she anxiously glared at him coldly.

How could they mention company management at this point? Even a fool could hear what they were thinking. She regretted to have brought they here so much. 

Luckily, her daughter was as smart as her. 

She immediately interrupted, "Christian, let bygones be bygones. There are many good girls in this world, and with your condition, you will find a better one."

She was reminding him to forget about his previous marriage and look forward. 

Christian sat there quietly, then as if he had thought of something, a tinge of gentleness flashed across his eyes. "You're right, whether it's good or bad, it will come to clear after a period of being-with." He said. 

Mallory's gaze turned deep as she glanced at them and coldly said coldly: "You’d better also understand what a 'lesson' means. Don't be so forgetful and fall at the same place twice."

Christian, "..."

Christian felt that Mallory was going to argue with him to the end tonight. Feeling helpless, he stopping arguing. 

The waiters served the dishes one after another.
