Chapter 398
Wife
The Carter Residence.
Geoffrey was in his precious collection room and taking a photo out of a hidden compartment. The photo was quite old. On it was a young woman, beautiful and smiling brightly.
Geoffrey sighed. He stroked the womanâs face in the photo gently, murmuring to himself, âSydney, why did you have to go back? Whatâs so good about that man?â
Outside the door, the butlerâs voice could be heard. âSir, there was a call from Madam. She said she wonât be coming back tonight.â
Geoffrey frowned. He turned around and said, âTell her that Sebastianâs getting married. She should come back quickly to prepare. After our sonâs wedding, she can go wherever she wants.â
âUnderstood,â Phillip said, and then another voice came from outside.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
âIs my father inside?â
âMr. Sebastian, youâre back. Mr. Geoffrey is inside. Do you need anything?â
Sebastian knocked on the door. âDad, I need to talk to you.â
Geoffrey put the photo back nicely, locked the hidden compartment, and opened the door. He stared coldly at Sebastian.
âYou still remember to come back, huh? If I donât call you, you wonât even think about returning.â
Sebastian went straight to the point. âDad, I can listen to you on other things, but I want to make my own decisions about my marriage. You canât force me to marry a woman I donât even know.â
âWho said you donât know her? Youâve met her often at banquets. Sheâs Tammy Jones.â
âI wonât marry her,â Sebastian insisted.
He had never gone against Geoffrey before; this was his first time. He thought Geoffrey would be angry, but to his surprise, Geoffrey remained calm.
âI remember teaching you that
whatever you do represents the
elmet
family, even when you were very young. Youâve always thought it was fine. Why are you making a complete turnaround now that itâs time to get married?â Geoffrey asked. Content belongs to

Sebastian said coldly, âBack then, I was too young to understand the meaning of marriage or what it feels like to love someone. But now that Iâve grown up, I canât marry a woman I donât love.â
âAre you willing to lose everything for this? Even be expelled from the Carter family?â Geoffrey asked sternly.
âYes.â Sebastian smiled faintly, fearless. âEven if I lose everything, I donât want to lose the happiness of the rest of my life.â
âFine.â Geoffrey nodded. âSince you say so, Iâll grant your wish. You donât have to get married anymore. You may leave.â âFine,â Sebastian said. âDonât worry. When I leave, I wonât take anything from the family with me.â
âI didnât ask you to leave the Carter family,â Geoffrey interrupted. âIâm saying, you donât have to marry if you donât want to. I donât intend to expet you from the family. Youâre still the president of our company.â Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
âWhat?â Sebastian was puzzled. âWhy?â
He had already prepared himself to be expelled from the family, but now, Geoffrey was saying he was still the president? Was this really his father? Normally, Geoffrey would be furious and might even beat him. The fact that he didnât was already unusual. Now, he was giving up on the marriage and not expelling Sebastian from the family?
Sebastian wondered if Geoffrey had
cancer and didnât have long to live, so he had decided to act like a decent person for once. It wasnât that he thought too ill of Geoffrey; his father really was an awfubman, and he knew it all too well! Content

âWhy?â Geoffrey snorted coldly. âAs a father, I havenât been able to make you happy despite all these years. I finally want to do something for you, but you donât want it. So forget it.â
âDad, is finding some random woman for me to marry what you want to do for me? You know very wellâ¦â Sebastian said, but Geoffrey cut him off.
âI know very well that you like Rosalie. Is that what youâre thinking?â Geoffrey saw through his son in an instant.
