The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 551

Chapter 551 You’re Not Allowed to Get Married

Casey glanced at the man beside her, still savoring the warmth of his touch from earlier.

But Symeon dampened her spirits. “You didn’t order any food and decided to interfere in other people’s. affairs, leaving Dulcie starving and waiting for you to return so that she could eat. You’re being selfish.”

After saying that, he turned and walked toward Dulcie’s seat.

Casey stood there, feeling perplexed. Did he just call her selfish?

But when she thought about Dulcie waiting for her, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for the latter.

She quickly returned to her seat and saw Dulcie’s adorable face resting on the table, almost in tears from hunger.

As soon as the little girl saw Casey return, she perked up, seeming full of energy. “Miss Casey, you’re finally back! Let’s order our food. Daddy and I have been waiting for you.”

Casey felt a twinge of sadness. It was clear that Dulcie was putting in a good word for Symeon, trying to leave a good impression on him.

In other words, Dulcie was trying to help Symeon please her.

“I’m starving too. Let’s order quickly, okay?”

“Yeah, I’m starving to death.” Dulcie stared at the menu with eager eyes.

Symeon observed Dulcie, feeling a mix of emotions. He could also see that Dulcie was trying to play a matchmaker between him and Casey.

It was past 10 p.m. after they finished dinner, and Dulcic was so exhausted that she fell asleep on Symeon’s back, murmuring in her sleep, “Daddy, Miss Casey is very nice and perfect for you… Don’t let her slip

away…

Symeon glanced at Dulcie sleeping on his back, then looked at Casey walking beside him. “Did you teach her to say that?”

Puzzled, Casey asked, “Huh? What? How is that possible? Why would I teach her those things?”

“To become Mrs. Lawrence and Dulcie’s official mother, of course. Those must attract you to do so.” The man’s face remained expressionless and calm.

Casey widened her eyes, not knowing how to react. Was this man suffering from delusions?

“Even if I wanted to gain custody of Dulcie, I wouldn’t teach her to say those things. You can rest assured!”

Symeon sneered. “It’s best if you didn’t.”

Afterward, he placed Dulcie in the backseat of the car and returned to the driver’s seat, ready to drive home.

Casey also got into the backseat, but the man glanced at her. “Sit in the front.”

“Why? I want to sit in the back and take care of Dulcie.

“Do you think I’m a chauffeur? I’ll only chauffeur my daughter. You’re not worthy of that.” Symeon fastened his seatbelt as he spoke.

With no choice, Casey sat in the passenger seat. No one spoke during the drive, afraid of waking Dulcie in the backseat.

After returning to Galaxy Bay.

Symeon carried Dulcie back to her bedroom, tucked her in, and then returned to his room.

In the meantime, Casey stood in front of the bed for a long time before returning to her own room.

She had to leave tomorrow to rent a house. Otherwise, how could she report to Winters Enterprise? Also, it would be best to find a place near the company.

As she pondered, she quickly fell asleep and had a strange dream. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

In the dream, she was actually getting married to Symeon!

She was wearing a beautiful wedding dress, standing in the church, holding her father Philip’s arm while walking toward Symeon. On the other hand, Symeon was wearing a suit, standing there with a cold expression but a loving smile, waiting for her.

This scene was so blissful, and Dulcie was there as the flower girl, beaming with happiness.

Suddenly!

A voice came from behind them. “You are not allowed to get married!”

Casey turned around abruptly and saw Amanda standing at the church entrance, her face filled with sadness as tears streamed down her cheeks.

When Symeon saw Amanda, the smile on his face instantly vanished, and he seemed to hesitate.

Seeing that, Casey felt a pang in her heart and gripped the man’s arm, pleading, “No, don’t go. You’re supposed to marry me. We have Dulcie. We’re a family of three…

Don’t go. Don’t go. Don’t go….”

Suddenly, she woke up from the dream. Her eyes shot open, and sweat formed on her forehead while she breathed heavily.

She realized it was just a dream.

That dream is too absurd…

Slowly sitting up and running her slender fingers through her hair, Casey heard a knock on the door, followed by Penny’s voice. “Miss Casey, are you awake? There’s a package for you.”

A package?

It must be the offer letter from Winters Enterprise.

She immediately got up and rushed to open the door, where she saw Penny standing outside with a

package in her hand. “Here, Miss Casey, your package.

“Thank you.”

“By the way, what would you like for breakfast? Mr. Lawrence has already taken Dulcie to kindergarten.”

“They’ve all left…” Well, I shouldn’t stay here alone any longer.

Casey smiled and replied, “No need, I should leave too. I’ve already troubled you for a long time.”

“Then at least have breakfast before you leave. You just recovered from a cold, so you need to take care of yourself,” Penny nagged.

But Casey shook her head and smiled. “No, thank you. I’ll grab something on the way because I have something urgent to attend to. Sorry, Penny.”

“You youngsters don’t know how to take care of yourselves. If you eat out, go to a clean restaurant, not a

food stall.”

“Okay, thank you, Penny.”

After closing the door, Casey opened the package and found that it was indeed a job offer letter from Winters Enterprise..

Now that she had found a job, she needed to start looking for a place to live.

Once she completed her morning routine and changed into a fresh outfit, she left Galaxy Bay

Casey first explored the vicinity of Winters Enterprise to see if there were any affordable houses for rent, but they were all expensive.

Fortunately, she had a habit of saving some money, so the high rent price wouldn’t be a problem for her.

She quickly signed a contract with a landlord. The house was fully furnished, so she didn’t need to buy any furniture and could move in with just her luggage.

It took her an afternoon to clean the new house and get it all organized by evening. She could finally get a good night’s sleep and continue tidying up the next day!

Casey had just settled onto the couch and turned on the TV when her phone suddenly rang.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was Symeon calling. Why would he be calling her? Could it be Dulcie calling her on his phone?

Curious, she answered the call and, as expected, heard Dulcie’s sweet voice on the other end. “Miss Casey, have you left? Why didn’t you stay to play with me? Did Daddy treat you badly? Why did you

Dulcie’s voice on the phone sounded choked, as if she was truly saddened.
