Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot

Chapter 1421 - 1420: Leon Blackwood, Impossible to Refuse

Listening to Andrew’s words, Shirley Grant bit her lip, her face looking very displeased."Will you really come back when it’s my wedding?"

She didn’t believe it at all.

Maybe by then, he’ll have all sorts of excuses to shirk and say he can’t make it.

Shirley Grant was deeply convinced of this.

"Shirley, I’ve never regretted saving you, nor did I regret falling in love with you. What I regret..."

Is probably letting you go back.

If I had known beforehand that you’re Alan Morgan’s woman, maybe I would have struggled intensely.

Struggling with whether I should send you back or hide you away for a lifetime.

But...

I think I would still end up sending you back.

After hanging up the phone, Andrew went straight to the airport.

...

Nia Mitchell was still dealing with the news of Charles Northwood’s death when she unexpectedly encountered Leon Blackwood again.

Nia looked at the cars blocking hers, and from the leading car, Leon Blackwood slowly stepped out.

"What exactly do you want?"

Having had a previous encounter, Nia wasn’t as scared this time.

"There’s a banquet tonight, and I hope you can attend."

Leon Blackwood walked to her, extended an invitation card to her.

Nia frowned, what’s the meaning of this?

Suspicious, she didn’t reach out to take it but instead stared closely at Leon.

"I have nothing to do with you. I don’t think I need to attend your banquet."

Nia stood there expressionless, letting Leon stand before her with the invitation still in hand.

What an awkward situation.

"I think Maxwell Peary might be interested in this banquet."

Leon’s expression didn’t change as he continued to offer her the invitation.

But...

"He never participates in any banquets, so I don’t think he’d be interested."

Hearing her words, Leon smiled.

"Well, just take the invitation. No one says you have to go there just because you received it."

Leon’s tone softened compared to before.

Nia thought for a moment, what he said made sense, what if Maxwell really was interested?

Thinking this, Nia reached out and took the invitation.

"We’re not likely to attend."

After taking the invitation, she added this line.

Hearing her somewhat childish remark, Leon smiled again.

"This banquet, our family connections will definitely be there."

After saying this, Leon turned and left with his many subordinates.

Nia:...

His words imply that her mother might attend too?

This is clearly a ploy to lure her to the banquet.

Nia watched as the cars sped off and opened the invitation.

Leon Blackwood’s twenty-fifth birthday.

Poof—

She thought it was some big banquet, turns out it’s just his birthday party.

Nia was amused by the invitation, got in her car, and headed back to the villa on the hill.

By now, Maxwell had arrived home, sitting at the entrance hall, changing his shoes, then surveyed the living room.

"Nia!"

Maxwell called out but heard Nia’s response from outside.

"Here!"

Maxwell:...

He opened the door to see Nia walking in with a smile, immediately giving him a bear hug.

"Uncle, you came home early today."
