His Hybrid Mate

Chapter 124

　　Jennifer was being rude and she got it. But Barbara was confused about why Zachary also acted strangely.

　　Annette smiled, "Jennifer, you can be at ease now. I already have a boyfriend."

　　After listening to Annette's words, Connor finally knew why she asked him to come here.

　　It turned out that she had been questioned by Zachary's girlfriend just now.

　　Jennifer looked at Annette and nodded.

　　Barbara, who knew little about the situation, asked, "Connor, I heard that you are working at the Norman Group. Which department are you in? May I know your family members?"

　　Connor smiled. "I'm in the management department. My parents have passed away. I have an elder brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister."

　　"Then, you must be under a lot of pressure financially."

　　Connor smiled, "It's fine. They are all quite easy to support."

　　Barbara thought for a moment and continued, "Have you bought a house in Akron? Do you have a car? If you get married, will your siblings live with you?"

　　"I have houses and cars. My younger brother is living with me now. My younger sister is studying abroad."

　　"Where is your house? Is it close to Annette's office?"

　　Annette was a little embarrassed. She did not expect Barbara to ask so many detailed questions.

　　Zachary shook his head at Barbara.

　　Barbara said, "What's wrong, Zachary? Can't I ask a few questions?"

　　Connor smiled calmly. "It doesn't matter. Barbara, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Since I'm with Annette, I'm ready to be questioned by anyone. Although my younger brother lives with me, we live in separate villas and won't affect each other. My place is not close to where Annette works, but I'll get a driver to send her to work and pick her up. It won't be inconvenient for her."

　　Barbara was shocked. Annette's boyfriend lived in the villa area?

　　Jennifer said anxiously, "Barbara, stop asking. Mr. Norman is the president of the Norman Group."

　　"What?" Barbara exclaimed in surprise.

　　She looked at Connor. He was the president of the Norman Group.

　　Why did he become Annette's boyfriend?

　　Connor smiled at Barbara, "Don't be surprised. I am indeed the president of the Norman Group, but I am just an ordinary man."

　　He turned to Annette and said, "Didn't you say that you missed the fried chicken made by William? Why don't you eat more?"

　　Seeing that Connor was so gentle to Annette, the Joseph family didn't know what to say.

　　Annette looked at Connor and said, "You should eat something too. You haven't had time to eat after work, have you?"

　　"Thanks to you, I can have such a delicious meal," Connor said with a smile.

　　Jennifer asked in confusion, "Annette, how did you get to know Mr. Norman?"

　　"I used to be his younger brother's tutor," Annette explained simply.

　　Jennifer gave her an envious look.

　　She thought, 'An ordinary girl becomes noble overnight.

　　Connor is the richest man in Akron. Although he is in a relationship with Annette now, he might break up with her at any time.

　　Annette is probably clear about that, so she said that she was not sure if she would marry him in the future.'

　　Jennifer raised her eyebrows. "A few days ago, there was a rumor about Mr. Norman and Daphne on the news. Although Mr. Norman denied it, my colleagues and I still thought that Mr. Norman and Daphne were a couple."

　　Connor said coldly, "The stupid paparazzi reported it only for fun. I have clarified it, yet there are still people who take it seriously. They are really stupid."

　　His words made Annette a little happy.

　　Jennifer's hostility toward her was inexplicable.

　　Jennifer looked a little embarrassed. She continued, "No one thought that Mr. Norman would have a civilian girlfriend."

　　"Civilian? In your eyes, is that how you judge people and put them into different classes? Ms. Burns, which class do you belong to?" Connor's voice was calm, but it brought others a sense of pressure.

　　"That... That's not what I mean."

　　"It's your business if you have any doubts about me and Annette. But you shouldn't ask such a rude question out loud. In my eyes, Annette and I are the same and there is nothing to do with classes. Also, it's not Annette's honor to be my girlfriend. It's my honor to have her as my girlfriend. You shouldn't distort the fact just because I'm rich. Relationships have nothing to do with wealth."

　　Connor put a piece of fried chicken on Annette's plate, his tone softening a lot. "It tastes good."

　　Annette smiled, "Eat some more. You don't get to taste such great chicken often."

　　Jennifer was criticized by Connor, but no one spoke up for her.

　　After all, her behavior just now was indeed disturbing.

　　Jennifer turned to glance at Zachary. Unexpectedly, Zachary ignored her.

　　She said gloomily, "We are honored to know you. I don't know if we will have the opportunity to attend your wedding in the future."

　　Connor said calmly, "The Joseph family will. Since you are not a member of the Joseph family yet, I am not sure if you can."

　　Jennifer frowned unhappily. She thought that Connor was hinting that she and Zachary would break up.

　　Although she was displeased, she didn't dare to show it. She smiled, "Indeed. Zachary and I might break up before we get married. Mr. Norman, are you sure that you will marry Annette?"

　　Connor turned to look at Annette. "If she says yes, I will marry her tomorrow. But she always thinks that she is still young and wants me to wait longer. I am also trying to persuade her. By the way, William, Barbara, please help me persuade her. She is so stubborn."

　　Barbara smiled, "You are right. Annette has been stubborn since she was young. Annette, if you think it is appropriate, get married early."

　　Connor nodded and said, "I agree with that."
