Chapter 1567 Something Difficult To Talk About
Lawrence frowned at the sight of his usually-graceful wife behaving like a shrew.
‘‘Kelly!’‘ he reminded harshly.
Kelly reluctantly stopped talking.
Then, Lawrence turned to Harvey once more. ‘‘Is it something difficult to talk about?’‘
Harvey nodded.
‘‘Can we talk about it privately?’‘
After pondering for a moment, Harvey nodded again.
He figured there wasn’t a need for him to continue hiding his identity now that he was already thinking
of marrying Sonia.
It was only by being transparent about his own character and origins that her father might feel safe
letting him marry her, anyway.
‘‘Sonia is still unwell. Take good care of her, and don’t say anything to aggravate her,’‘ Lawrence
instructed Kelly before turning to Sonia. ‘‘Be polite when talking to your mother. I have some matters to
discuss with him. I’ll be back shortly.’‘
As Lawrence turned and headed for the door, Harvey caressed Sonia’s head, disregarding Kelly in the
process. ‘‘Don’t worry. I’ll see you again real soon.’‘
Sonia didn’t expect him to be this affectionate with her in front of her parents. But truthfully, she liked it,
and a blush crept across her cheeks as she nodded and watched Harvey leave with her father.
Rather than sit down at a coffee shop, the two men hopped into Lawrence’s car before the man himself
began driving. This was perhaps the safest place to talk in detail.
‘‘So, tell me, who are you? Why did you approach Sonia?’‘
Acting like a completely different person the moment he entered the vehicle, Lawrence shot a
forbidding glance at Harvey, who was now in the passenger seat.
The older, the wiser indeed.
Harvey smiled bitterly. He had thought that Lawrence genuinely wanted to ask about his true origin
before handing Sonia over to him, and yet it seemed it was not the case.
‘‘I never approached Sonia deliberately, Mr. Wynter. We met by complete chance,’‘ Harvey answered
gravely. ‘‘My name is Harvey Jupiter. I’m from Chanaea. You can get someone to look into my
background if you wish.’‘
Lawrence’s expression turned gloomy instantly. He had been wondering which tribe Harvey could have
been from, only to learn that the latter was Chanaean.
‘‘You do know that marrying a foreigner warrants a death sentence here?’‘
Harvey nodded. ‘‘I do.’‘
‘‘Then why?’‘ Lawrence was so exasperated that he didn’t know how to continue.
‘‘Trust me, Mr. Wynter. The laws of Turlen will definitely change. When that happens, marriage to
foreigners will be nothing out of the ordinary,’‘ Harvey promised.
The look in Lawrence’s eyes changed as he heard that, and he stared into Harvey’s eyes.
‘‘What do you mean by that?’‘
How would a Chanaean know about Turlen’s future state of affairs?
Recalling Arielle’s current efforts in aiding the king, Harvey responded calmly, ‘‘What changes do you
think will happen in Turlen in the days to come? It’s also about time someone else ruled the country.’‘
Lawrence was instantly filled with shock and stared at Harvey in disbelief.
‘‘Y-You’re affiliated with His Majesty!’‘
There’s no doubt about it! Seeing Harvey say nothing to refute that, Lawrence sent the former out with
a wave of a hand. He needed time to think.
The next day, Aaron stopped Vinson with tears in his eyes.
