Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 22

A few ladies started to speculate, some said that Mister Darby was a middle-aged man with a slight stubble.

Some said that Mister Darby was tall and handsome. Every possibility was speculated.

Finally, Grandmother Lyndon waved her hand and halted the discussions.

It was then Felix brought a few men in and glanced around, but there was no sight of Darryl.

"I'll leave the birthday present here then, I'll be going,’’ said Felix as he bowed slightly.

Grandmother Lyndon felt uneasy and nodded her head profusely, even returning a bow as a sign of respect.

After Felix left, his present was opened up. This time, i t shocked them even more!

It was a deed!

'Here’s to many years of birthdays and success. On your esteemed birthday, I present to you a special gift: Southernwood Villa, No. A88'

Dead silence! The whole hall was pin-drop silent!

If a needle were to drop at that moment, it could be heard!

This... This... A villa as a birthday gift!?

It was not just an ordinary villa, it was a Southernwood Villa! It was located within Donghai City’s top community of villas! Within the Southernwood Villa community, three villas were the most expensive: A66, A88, and A99. These three villas were sold for at least 10 million bucks each!

A88 was the most expensive amongst the three. It was located at the center of the community, with its private swimming pool, backyard, mini zoo, and mini aquarium!

It was Grandmother Lyndon's birthday, and Felix had gifted this villa! This...

Only one person did not have a shocked expression on her face. This person was Lily.

Lily had a clear hatred for that piece of trash Darryl, but ever since he left, she found herself inexplicably thinking about him.

Lily took out her cellphone, and could not help but to send Darryl a text message.

[Lily: Where are you?]

Very soon, Darryl replied. [Darryl: Home, I'm packing u p. Leaving tonight.]

Upon reading the reply, Lily felt an unexplainable feeling of unease in her heart.

Darryl was a piece of trash, she should feel better if he

left.

Lily bit her lip tightly, and strangely enough, texted a reply to him. [Lily: Wait for me, I'm coming back now.]

Maybe she wanted to see him for one last time?

"No!” Ashton exclaimed. "Let’s quickly head back, see i f Granny agrees to our marriage."

The two of them were arguing when a Land Rover stopped near them. Samantha stepped out of the car i n her high heels.

"Ashton, Lilybud, what are you guys doing?" asked

Samantha hurriedly. "Come back quickly, Granny is about to announce your marriage in a bit."

"I want to meet Darryl one last time, I'm not going back! I'm not going back no matter what you say!" Lily answered as she bit her lip tightly.

Ashton's gaze darted back and forth between Samantha and Lily and he had a wicked glee in his eyes.

"Auntie, let me get you something to drink," Ashton offered.

Ashton went to a milk tea shop and bought two cups o f milk tea, which he secretly placed the sedative powder into both cups. 6

Samantha was dragging Lily back when she saw Ashton approaching them with two cups of milk tea, and smiled upon that sight.

The weather was hot, and they both drank the tea offered. Samantha laughed saying, "Lilybud, go back quickly and await Granny’s announcement of your marriage. Look at Ashton, how caring of him to get us milk teas during such hot weather."

As she was finishing her words, Samantha felt her body weakening, as if she could not keep herself balanced. 4

Lily felt the same way, her hands shivered, and she dropped her cup of milk tea.
