Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage novel Chapter 59

However, this gentleman wasn’t here for the red carpet either. This man, who was mistaken for a superstar, was nobody else, but the young master of the wealthiest family of Millpond, Archibald Hawkins.

But none of these stopped him from being the focus of attention. The media reporters gave him all the limelight generously, and none of the fans present had expected that Archibald would show up.

Therefore, even if Archibald didn’t have any fan here, many fans of other stars had become his fans the moment he got off his ostentatious Spyker C8.

Maybe this was the best interpretation of the saying, "Comparisons are odious." Someone was destined to be the most dazzling presence wherever he appeared, even if he was in his casual wear. The crowd kept exclaiming that when Archibald took off his suit, he looked so unruly only in a shirt! Not everybody was a great clothes horse.

At this moment, Archibald was walking down the red carpet to the two people at the other end step by step. To be more exact, he was walking towards Lillian, because only that woman’s figure was in his deep and slanted eyes.

Archibald seemed to have not heard the questions shouted out by the enthusiastic reporters on both sides or the fans’ screams of excitement. He walked steadily, his slender legs moving towards his destination accurately.

In Lillian’s eyes, that man got off his sports car arrogantly and walked towards her step by step, but actually, he was contemptuous of the red carpet. However, he was apparently the shiniest star here.

Under the flashes, his eyes didn’t blink to avoid the glaring light at all, but fixed on her. His dark eyes were twinkling, just like little diamonds scattered all over the floor.

Lillian could only see Archibald on this dazzling red carpet that was watched by everyone. The screaming crowd around her seemed to have disappeared, and only he was left.

It was as if each of his steps was treading on her heart.

Lillian held her breath uncontrollably and her body grew tense. Archibald, why would he come here?

A 100-meter red carpet was not short, but Archibald seemed to have walked in front of her in a blink.

How wouldn’t Sebastian sense that the woman next to him was drifting away? He pulled out the arm being held by hers, put it around her waist and drew it back a little bit so that she was taken into his arms, his harsh voice saying in her ear, "I warn you. Don’t get absent-minded the moment Archibald appears!" His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Lillian looked up at once and saw Sebastian glaring at her with a grim face. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt that his hold around her waist tightened.

Was this Sebastian competing with Archibald again? When had he become so stupid?

"Lillian." At this point, there was a cold and faint smile hanging on Archibald’s thin lips. He stared at Lillian with his dark and sharp eyes. As for Sebastian beside her, he didn’t seem to have seen him.

Sebastian knew Archibald was ignoring him intentionally. He didn’t get angry, but also put on a false smile. "Are you here to attend the anniversary celebration of my company, Young Master Hawkins?" There was a hint of irony in his words. Obviously, Sebastian implied that Archibald had come uninvited.

At this moment, people on both sides had stopped screaming, listening to their conversation quietly, in case anything important was missed.

Judging from the prologue between the two, the crowd had already figured out that there must be something going on among the three of them.
