Chapter 22
Marcel stared at her for a while and said, “Did Mom say something to you again? I have dated many girls before and have long understood the taste of love,”
“It’s you who should try and experience more now so that it will be less likely for you to make mistakes when you get married in the future. Of course, even if you don’t get married, your family can still afford to support you.”
Jocelynn stared at him and smiled, but didn’t say anything
Alyssa had already told her that her brother was a workaholic and had never even touched a girl’s hand,
All the assistants in the company were exclusively men, and after so many years, Alyssa started to doubt her own son’s sexual
orientation.
Then she took a sip of tea and said, “Anyway, when it comes to emotions, you u don’t need to worry about me”
Marcel didn’t argue with her either, “Okay, okay, I don’t care.
Suddenly, his phone rang
He glanced at his phone and said, “But I have to go to the study to work first. You can take a look and see if there’s anything you want to buy. We can either go together after I finish my work, or you can go with Mom when she comes back
Jocelynn knew he was busy and urged him to get to work quickdy.
Marcel had just gotten up when Karden and Alyssa walked in from the door
They both called out, “Dad, Mom.
Karden looked at everyone and announced, “Tomorrow night, you guys don’t need to go out. Orlando is coming back from abroad, and
David invited us to have dinner together.”
Jocelynn paused for a moment and looked at everyone with some confusion
Orlando Parker?
Marcel looked at his sister’s appearance and kindly reminded her, “Orlando used to hold you when you were little. Every time he held you, you would cry, and he almost dropped you.”
Jocelynn had no impression, but there was still a hint of embarrassment on her face.
She glared at him and said, “Who remembers things from childhood?”
This brother is completely different from when we first met. Hetalles a lot and is very close, not at all like the decisive CEO in the
business world
Alyssa stood by Jocelynn’s side and scolded her son, “Stop making fun of your sister all the time”
But a happy smile overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
Now, not only did they find their long–lost daughter, but the whole family was also so happy that her life was finally fulfilled.
Marcel gave up and then he straightened his face to ask his father.
“Didn’t Orlando usually come back only during the New Year? Why did he suddenly come back so much earlier?”
Orlando is one year older and also steadier and more mature in his actions
They have been running the family business abroad for so many years, and it has been two years since they last saw each other.
“Grandma Orlando was getting old, and her health had been deteriorating over the past few years. She asked him to come back and stay for a few years, as who knows when…”
Kaeden spoke and let out a heavy sigh.
The Stout family and the Parker family were close friends, not relatives, but even closer than family.
The topic became heavy, and the atmosphere gradually became oppressive. After a few more words were exchanged, everyone
1/3
gradually dispersed.
In the evening, Marcel attended a cocktail party.
He directly took Jocelynn along, which not only showcased her status but also exposed her to some business cooperation related matters, so that she could take over some of the family’s industries in the future.
Jocelynn followed Marcel and saw a different older brother.
He walked among the major entrepreneurs with a stern expression, his every y word and action devoid of any laughter, making the atmosphere oppressive.
Many entrepreneurs we
were drenched in sweat when faced with his rigorous logical thinking
She also followed along involuntarily, drinking quite a bit of alcohol.
She felt sick and vomited. When there was
is no one around, she tugged on Marcel’s sleeve
“I felt a bit dizzy, so I went outside to get some fresh air.”
Marcel was focused on his work when he saw his sister drinking so much alcohol and was surprised, “Why are you drinking so much alcohol?”
His brows furrowed, and the aura of intimidation surrounding him had not dissipated yet.
Jocelynn hurriedly explained, “I was so nervous watching you work that I couldn’t help but constantly want to drink something.”
Marcel forced a smile and said, “I will be more restrained next time.”
Jocelynn didn’t say much and waved her hand as she went outside to the open balcony to enjoy the breeze. However, little did she love that as soon as she arrived at the balcony, she encountered the person she least wanted to see Trevor
She was startled for a moment, “What are you doing here?
