Love’s Unexpected Arrival The Bride Who Came Knocking by Rochelle

Chapter Ashley’s Welcoming Party

At the entrance of the hotel where Jason would hold a welcoming party for his daughter, luxury cars were pushed over one by one. Gentlemen and ladies in the upper class entered the hotel in exquisite suits and dresses. They were attending the party. This was a small party. All the guests were from the upper class. To show respect for the guests and introduce them to his daughter who had studied abroad all the time, Jason stood at the door with his daughter, where they could see from the glass window all the guests getting out of luxury cars. Jason introduced these people to his daughter carefully. “Ashley, these are Mr. Cartwright and his wife. Mr. Cartwright sells jewelry. His daughter marries the second son of the Brock Group, with whose help the Cartwright Group is blooming…” “Dad, I really hate business marriage.” Ashley curled her lips in disdain. Jason patted Ashley’s hand and smiled. “I know. Don’t worry. I won’t interfere with your marriage. I won’t let my daughter marry a man in exchange for business benefit.” Ashley nestled against Jason happily and held up her fair chin with a smile. “Sure. The White Group is the strongest company in Erus City. Why do we need a marriage to consolidate our family?” Jason smiled. “No, the Cullen Group has replaced the White Group and became the strongest company in Erus City.” “What is the Cullen Group?” Jason smiled. “Speaking of which, the president of the Cullen Group is a young and capable man. You will see him soon. He is very brilliant!” Ashley had no interest in the president of the Cullen Group at all. Looking over from the window, she saw two men walking up. She asked curiously, “Dad, the woman holding Mr. Dylan’s hand is Nell, isn’t she?” “Yes, she is Nell. She’s grown up!” “Oh, my boy. She was ugly when she was a little girl. Now she turns out to be so beautiful!” Ashley shouted. Jason reminded her with a smile. “Ashley, if you’re going to stay in this country, don’t speak too frankly. We’re reserved and can’t accept such a direct way of communication.” “But I’m telling the truth.” Jason intended to say something else, but he saw a black car flashing by. He immediately patted Ashley’s hand. “Ashley, Mr. Cullen is coming!” Ashley looked up and happened to see Hawk’s long legs stepping out of the car. He looked slender and tall in a black suit that fitted him very well. Then she saw Hawk’s charming and handsome face. Ashley couldn’t help being attracted to him. “Dad, is this Mr. Cullen well-known in Erus City?” Ashley asked excitedly. She could hear that her heart was racing. “Yes, this is Mr. Cullen I’ve mentioned to you!” Seeing Ashley’s reaction at the sight of Hawk, Jason felt very contented. In fact, he wanted his daughter to come back in advance and get to know Hawk. Sure, he didn’t do it for a business marriage. He just liked Hawk. Such a brilliant man was a perfect son-in-law. The White Group also needed a capable man. “Who is that woman?” Ashley saw that Hawk helped a woman get out of the car with a gentle smile. Jason shook his head. “I don’t know her.” “Dad, I like Mr. Cullen!” Ashley said directly. Jason rubbed his forehead and smiled. “Ashley, it’s OK to love him, but in Eruville, girls are expected to be reserved. You should change your way of talking. You can’t speak your mind bluntly.” “Alright, I get it!” Ashley pouted. Jason patted Ashley’s hand with an indulgent smile. “Come over and send your greetings!” “Hello, Mr. Cullen. I’m Ashley. Nice to meet you!”
