President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 215

Clara was relieved to see that he did not object. She smiled and everyone started to enjoy this lovely dinner.

However, at that moment, the door of the box was suddenly thrown open.

Hearing the clicking sounds of cameras, they saw some journalists swooping in.

“Mr. Miller, I heard that today the Miller family is meeting with the Dawson family to discuss the marriage between Jessica and Shawn. Is that right?”

“Have you fixed a date for the wedding? When is it?”

“Can you tell us what kind of wedding you will have?”

“I heard you grew up together and have been in love with each other for many years. Can you share your love story with us?”

“...”

The room was filled with all kinds of noises.

The clicking shutter and the blinding flashlight seemed to shock everyone in the box.

When Henry saw those journalists flooding in, he pulled his face immediately.

Shawn was also shocked and looked at Jessica in disbelief.

A flicker of guilt flashed in Jessica's eyes and then she quickly covered it up. She turned to Shawn and shook her head in panic.

“Shawn, it’s not me.”

Clara also pretended to be surprised. But she calmed down very soon and smiled at those journalists.

“Thank you for your concern, but this is a private gathering and I’m afraid we won’t be able to be interviewed today... This is a little inappropriate.”

After saying that, she gave Henry an awkward look. She seemed to be very sorry and frustrated.

Henry scowled, pretending not to see her face.

Shawn came to his senses and knew that there was no use running away from the situation.

Now that the journalists had come, they wouldn’t leave without getting what they want.

So, he stood up in front of the camera and said, “As you can see, today we are here to meet and discuss for our marriage. Jessica is an actress and I can understand why you guys are here. But our parents are ordinary people and we want this meeting to be private. I hope you understand. And if we come up with a result, we will inform you as soon as possible, so please rest assured. Now it’s time for dinner. Please have a rest downstairs and get something to eat. My treat.”

Shawn handled this gracefully. He wasn’t upset that they were interrupting his private trip, nor did he reveal his privacy to please the journalists.

He even offered to buy them dinner, which kind of won their hearts.

They were all impressed.

So was Clara.

She thought to herself, “Jessica isn’t wrong about this young man. He absolutely will be able to benefit the Dawson family.”

At this point, the journalists had nothing left to say.

Even though they wanted to dig in, the Millers refused to say more and there were bodyguards coming to send them out. They had to get out of the room.

After a few minutes, the room was finally quite again.

And a little awkward.

Henry just sat there and didn’t utter a single word.

Philip wanted to say something to ease the mood, but he was not smart enough to make things less awkward.

Aleena smiled at Shawn and said, “I’ve always heard that Shawn is an experienced and prudent young man. Now I know it’s true. I’m happy to see that you and Jessica are together.”

Shawn forced a smile and responded, “Thank you.”

Just then, Henry's cell phone rang.

He picked it up and started frowning.

“What? Okay, hold on. I'll be right back!”

Henry stood up.

From the look of his face, Clara could tell something was wrong. She asked promptly, “Mr. Miller, what's going on? Now that we are in-laws, we may be able to help.”

Henry froze.

In-law? How aggressive!

He answered calmly, “There is an emergency in the company and I have to rush back. Pardon me. Shawn, stay here to have dinner. Remember to send Mr. and Mrs. Dawson home personally. I must leave now.”

Shawn stood up and nodded, “Ok.”

“But...”

Clara wanted to say something more, but Henry didn't give her the chance. He picked up his coat and hurried off.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Then Philip said awkwardly, “Hahaha...Well, Mr. Miller is such a busy man that he didn’t even have time for a dinner.”

Shawn explained, “Our company has been expanding overseas market recently, and things are a little tricky. My father just came back from Kyoto a few days ago.”

Philip's eyes brightened.

“Overseas? Seems like the Miller Properties is going global now?”

Shawn grinned slightly and nodded, “Yes, but it's still in progress. No one can guarantee that this will definitely go well.”

“I believe talents like Mr. Miller and Shawn can surely make it happen.” Philip said cheerfully.

Clara’s face finally brightened up.

“Philip is right. Since Mr. Miller is so busy, we don't want to disturb him like this. The matters of the marriage can be discussed some other day.”

“That’s right. We don’t need to rush. Your work is much more important.”

Shawn smiles and didn’t say a thing.

Without Henry, they quickly finished the meal

Clara refused his offer of sending them off and went home with Philip and Aleena, leaving him to attend to his own business.

Instead of going back with them, Jessica got into Shawn's car and went to Century Entertainment with him.

Century Entertainment was invested by the Dawson family so they were not afraid to be photographed.

Once they went into his office, Shawn pulled a long face and turned on his computer silently.

Topics about their marriage was trending not only on Twitter but also on other websites.

It seemed like they were absolutely getting married.

Some people even said that they already got their marriage certificate and both families were gathering to celebrate the great news, and that the wedding would be held in a few days.
