Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride
Chapter 1583 - 1574: Wherever the Gaze Falls, There Is Eternity: With a Certain Purpose
As soon as the couple walked into the room, Joseph Lancaster came forward, and Daxton Lancaster finally saw what he was holding earlier.
It was a small rabbit, pure white in color, nestled in the young boy’s arms as if it had been scared, motionless.
"Brother, sister-in-law, where did you two go? Why didn’t you invite me?"
Because of Daxton Lancaster’s seemingly accidental probing earlier, Violet Zimmerman didn’t dare to respond.
Daxton Lancaster threw the scarf that Joseph Lancaster had bought for Violet Zimmerman into the sofa and said, with a half-smile, "Invite you for what? To be a third wheel for me and your sister-in-law?"
Daxton Lancaster...
Seeing the pink scarf lying on the sofa, his gaze slightly flickered, and he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, are you kidding? You and sister-in-law are an old married couple, afraid of a third wheel?"
Daxton Lancaster no longer continued this topic, letting Violet Zimmerman return to the room, while he sat down on the sofa.
"Joseph, you’re not young anymore. After New Year’s, I’ll help you arrange a suitable marriage."
"I don’t want that! It’s great being single!"
Almost as soon as Daxton Lancaster finished saying this, Joseph Lancaster replied, stroking the little white rabbit’s head, his words full of disdain.
On the sofa, Daxton Lancaster’s lips curved with a smile as he continued nonchalantly, "Being single is great?"
"Of course, eating for one, no one’s hungry, how leisurely and carefree it is."
"Is that so?" Daxton Lancaster asked again, half-smiling, "Don’t you feel lonely when you’re sleeping at night, don’t you feel that there’s an emptiness beside you?"
After Daxton Lancaster asked, it was obvious that Joseph Lancaster’s hand stroking the rabbit paused.
Just for those two seconds, Joseph Lancaster began stroking the rabbit’s head again, saying, "Brother, don’t worry about my matters. I’m still studying now. In the future, when I have a girlfriend, I will definitely bring her home for you to evaluate."
"When will that be?" Joseph Lancaster’s casual remark was met with Daxton Lancaster’s serious question about the timing.
Joseph Lancaster’s hand stopped once more while stroking the rabbit, meeting Daxton Lancaster’s half-smiling gaze, hesitating slightly before quickly reacting, smiling shyly.
"Brother, finding a girlfriend depends on fate. I don’t even have a clue yet, how can I promise you a time frame?"
Joseph Lancaster bowed his head and continued stroking the rabbit, hiding his emotions well.
However, Daxton Lancaster caught it all, his eyes turning misty as he seriously said, "Joseph, we are brothers. If one day you find a woman you like, you must tell me."
Joseph Lancaster raised his head again, and for some reason, he sensed a certain desolation in Daxton Lancaster’s tone.
The little rabbit was something Joseph Lancaster had specifically asked from a classmate, intending to give it to Violet Zimmerman to lift her spirits.
Ever since going upstairs, Violet Zimmerman hasn’t come down, not until Joseph Lancaster left.
In the evening, she went to watch a movie with Daxton Lancaster, a romance film, during the entire eighty-minute runtime, Violet Zimmerman was nestled against Daxton Lancaster’s shoulder.
...
The New Year came quickly, and Violet Zimmerman’s belly had already begun to show signs of pregnancy. Joseph Lancaster continued to visit as often as before.
Regarding Joseph Lancaster’s behavior, Violet Zimmerman always felt suspicious. Normally, after they’ve done that deed, they should avoid each other. Moreover, she had told him that it was under her husband Daxton Lancaster’s instructions.
Yet Joseph Lancaster showed no signs of being unusual, still joking around with the couple as before. Violet Zimmerman couldn’t help but wonder, either the young uncle was too naive, or he had certain motives.
