Love Comes To Me
Chapter 128: Do you really not like me?

Hector Rogers nodded lightly and gathered the papers from the table before getting up to leave.

Reeva Lawson's eyes flashed together with delight at the sight, and the two drove together to the restaurant.

...

On the way, in an attempt to replace something to talk about, Reeva Lawson spoke up and asked, "Hector, are you in some kind of hurry today? Didn't tell me before you left."

"Well, it's a bit urgent." Hector Rogers opened his mouth in faint response.

Reeva Lawson's heart sank, did she really have no place in his heart at all?

But despite this, Reeva Lawson was still holding out hope that Hector Rogers wouldn't disobey his mother when both their parents were present later, right?

The car soon arrived at a restaurant, which looked grand and elegant, with private rooms still booked half a month in advance.

When we walked into the restaurant, the Lawson familyRogers family were already there and the atmosphere in the private room was its happy and the two families were talking about something.

As soon as he saw the two men, Matriarch Godbold spoke with a big smile, "I was just talking about you! Here you are, come on, come on, sit down."

Reeva Lawson greeted her parents and the Rogers family with a smile, as did Hector Rogers.

After greetings and the group sat down, Reeva Lawson smiled and spoke up, "Auntie, Mum, what were you talking about us?"

Matriarch Godbold laughed, "Isn't that a reference to our two families' past? Auntie ah just remembered how you used to run to the house to play when you were little and said you would marry us Hector when you grew up." At that, Reeva Lawson ducked her head in embarrassment.

As a child, she did say such things and has worked hard all these years, and Reeva Lawson to marry Hector Rogers.

At the thought, she couldn't help but glance at the man on the side, and the expression on Hector Rogers' face was muted, saying nothing.

Reeva's mother then said, "Yes, so many years have passed and your Hector has grown so much and become so good, I said at first that the boy would grow up to be something, and now he is."

"Reeva is the same! Pretty and sensible, and when I was shopping with Mrs Basil family earlier, I heard that her son was courting Reeva! It's only been a short time since she's been back and it looks like there are quite a few other suitors, right?" "No, my aunt is joking." Reeva Lawson spoke humbly.

These days, she does get a lot of advances, especially after the last welcome party, and there are many people picking up Reeva Lawson, giving gifts to the Lawson family, asking her to dinner and a movie, etc.

But how could Reeva Lawson possibly look at the rich gentry who were worthy of their status?

From early on, Reeva Lawson made up her mind that for the rest of her life, Hector Rogers would be the one.

With a smile, Matriarch Godbold opened his mouth to talk about their marriage.

"Reeva is the one I grew up with, and she and our Hector are childhood friends and have known each other since they were kids, and they are not seeing anyone, and Reeva is not interested in anyone, and neither is our Hector, so why don't we take this opportunity today to settle their marriage?"

The Lawson family's naturally did not object, and they could not have been happier if they had taken advantage of the day to settle the marriage.

"Yes! When Uncle Patriarch and my dad were thinking of getting the two engaged, it would naturally be great if these two did get together and our families became a family." It was Reeva's mother who spoke. Tristan Lawson followed suit, "Yes! We are comfortable leaving Reeva in your hands, Hector."

Reeva Lawson's face flushed again and her heart beat even faster as she kept her head down and was too embarrassed to say anything.

Hector Rogers frowned slightly as he pursed his lips and said, "Dad, Mum, I've been very busy at work and I'm not going to think about that for a while."

At those words, Reeva Lawson's face turned instantly, and she steeled her composure, but then her fingers clenched at the side.

It was obvious to everyone that Hector Rogers had no intention of considering this, but it was only because both families were present and they were family friends that they did not make it so clear.

Tristan Lawson Reeva's mother's heart was not happy, after all, they knew that Hector Rogers was interested in Eloise Thompson, and from Reeva Lawson, they also knew that Eloise Thompson was just an abandoned Thompson They also knew from Reeva Lawson that Eloise Thompson was nothing more than an abandoned Thompson girl, with no status, no background and nowhere near as good as their own daughter.

Hector Rogers is such a fine individual, and for some reason, he fell for a woman like Eloise Thompson and rejected his own daughter for her.

Matriarch Godbold also looked a little embarrassed as he glared at Hector Rogers, "Work work work work, it's not like you need to prepare for the engagement, you just need to be there when it happens."

The Lawson family, fearing that Hector Rogers might say something more blunt, said, "Don't say that. It's better to focus on your career, and it's not really the right time for Reeva to talk about such things as she is still studying."

The Lawson family said so, and the Hector parents didn't say anything else. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and everyone took the conversation aside, and the engagement passed.

After all, Hector Rogers refused, so who can force him!

Reeva Lawson ate absentmindedly and watched as Hector Rogers went to the bathroom, and it wasn't long before she got up and went too.

In the hallway, Hector Rogers lit a cigarette as Reeva Lawson walked over, smiled and spoke, "Isn't this family dinner boring?"

Hector Rogers nodded lightly and did not speak.

The two just stood there, as if mustering up a lot of courage, and Reeva Lawson spoke up and asked, "Hector, don't you really like me at all?"

As a child, Hector Rogers was cold to herself but he would help her when she was bullied in class and he would teach her anything she didn't know how to do when she went to ask Hector Rogers for help.

She was the only girl he had with him

At that time, Reeva Lawson thought, he must have felt something for himself too!

It is for this reason that Reeva Lawson has persevered for so many years.

But when she returned home, she had grown up and realised that Hector Rogers had only been kind to her because of their friendship, but Reeva Lawson didn't want to recognise this reality, and she always thought she was special to her. Hector Rogers pursed his lips and spoke faintly, "Sorry."

He already had someone in mind.

With that, Hector Rogers put out the cigarette in his hand and ignored Reeva Lawson before heading into the bathroom.

Reeva Lawson stared blankly at Hector Rogers' back, a glint of resignation in her eyes.

Although rejected completely, there was no way she was going to give up, no matter what

There is no giving up the claim that what she Reeva Lawson has her eye on, Hector Rogers must be hers in the end.
