“You say that? What do you mean?” Mr. Swan questioned Edward. His daughter was like a golden branch with jade leaves; why wouldn’t Mr. Swan be delighted if Edward proposed to marry his daughter? It was truly laughable. In Mr. Swan’s eyes, Edward was just a useless twenty-year-old, living off the family.Edward maintained an extremely polite attitude, casually taking a sip of tea from the cup on the table with his hand. “Mr. Swan, I do not intend to suggest that you should celebrate if I propose to Felicia. What I want to discuss is my position within the company.”“Don’t play games here; if there’s something, say it straight!”Edward, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile slightly. His “father-in-law” was indeed lacking in sophistication. He had already mentioned it, but Mr. Swan still didn’t understand. No matter, Edward didn’t mind explaining for him to comprehend.“Mr. Swan, the marriage between your daughter and me is already set. I will marry Felicia and become her husband. Now t
“Exactly, I and your parents are discussing our matters,” Edward said as he reached out to hold Felicia’s hand.As for Felicia, she did not shy away from Edward’s physical gesture. After all, she and Edward were about to get married, and Felicia genuinely had feelings for him.“Are they not mistreating you?” Felicia expressed her concern, aware that her parents’ attitude towards Edward wasn’t favorable; they didn’t like him. They agreed to let Edward marry her only because of the prearranged marriage between the Sherwood and Swan families, and especially because she was visually impaired. Yes, they consented to Edward marrying her because she was a blind girl.Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Swan’s faces wrinkled in displeasure. They never expected their daughter to perceive them as unkind people. Although they typically treated Edward with a stern face, this time was different. Clearly, both Mr. and Mrs. Swan were very warm towards the young man. Mr. Swan even agreed to cooperate wit
“Thank you, Edward,” Felicia looked at Edward, her eyes teary. Besides her parents, Edward was probably the one who treated her the best. Among the others surrounding her, few were sincere—flattering on the surface but mocking and ridiculing behind her back. The only ones genuinely approaching and befriending her were the Swans. The only person she felt sincerity from was Edward. Yes, only him.“It’s nothing, no need to be polite with me. Eventually, we’ll be a family,” Edward replied.“Exactly, Edward is right. Why are you still being formal with the boy? You two are about to become husband and wife!” Mrs. Swan quickly approached and gently patted her daughter’s back. Normally, she found Edward disagreeable, but now she had a very favorable impression of him—handsome, talented, refined, generous, and especially sincere in his gestures, attitude, and behavior towards Felicia. Not to mention, the substantial amount he spent on the wedding showed his economic strength. For Felicia, to m
Janet was in the room looking at the pregnancy test over and over again. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and laugh. It's true that it's hard for a hero to pass the beauty barrier, no matter how much Edward calculated, he couldn't calculate that she was pregnant. Now in her belly is a drop of the Sherwood family's blood. If Edward doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit it. With this bet, she will definitely enter the Sherwood family and marry a handsome and rich husband like Edward.“It's truly fate, no matter how much you avoid it, you can't avoid it.” Janet held the pregnancy test tightly in her hand and smiled. Who said Edward was stupid and played around with girls without taking any measures? Now he has to bear the consequences, no one can blame him. It's not like Janet set him up.“And why did Edward take so long, or did the old man not inform him?” Janet began to doubt, she refused to sit still anymore, she had to do something. That old butler might be Mr.
“No, I don’t believe it. I want to see Edward!” Janet screamed loudly; this shock was too much for her to bear. How could she accept the fact that the golden opportunity had slipped away? No, it was unacceptable! Clearly, her blood was carrying Edward’s child; there was no way such a thing could happen. She couldn’t accept this.“I’ll say it again; I want to see Edward.” Janet shouted in pain.“I told you, young master is busy and doesn’t have time to see you.” Hernan stepped closer to Janet, speaking up. If she continued on this path, the woman in front of him might do something unpredictable.Hernan approached Janet, and she clenched her teeth, pressing the knife against her own stomach.“Step back and call Edward immediately. If you don’t do as I say, there will be two corpses today!” Janet shouted. She didn’t believe Hernan wouldn’t follow her request. Now, if something happened to her and the baby, no one here would be at peace. Edward would surely not spare them, and she couldn’
Mrs. Goreng, now eating fruits and chatting with the nurse, was in good spirits lately. Her health was gradually improving, and it wouldn’t be long before she could be discharged from the hospital.“Mom, I visit you.” Edward stood by the door and spoke.Seeing Edward, Mrs. Goreng was delighted, though her face didn’t show a smile. It had been a long time since Edward visited her.“You, as usual, take forever to come and visit me. If you didn’t show up this week, I might have forgotten that I have a son!” Although Mrs. Goreng felt happy inside, she continued to tease Edward. She knew he was busy, but occasionally dropping by for a visit wouldn’t hurt. It had been nearly half a month since he last appeared.Edward just smiled at her, placing a basket of fruits on the table, all of Mrs. Goreng’s favorites.“So, is this a simple visit, or do you have something else on your mind?”Edward said nothing; he signaled for the nurse to leave the room first. Now, there were only Edward and his mo
Edward was delighted to hear that. He knew that if his mother said so, the probability of his mother approving of this marriage was already 70%. Moreover, with Felicia’s personality, not to mention his mother, even the most hard woman in the world would surely like her.“Alright, wait for me for a moment, I’ll bring her here!” “Hurry, don’t keep me waiting for long!” Mrs. Goreng said and then sat down, gently picking up a newspaper. She was also very curious, and didn’t know what Felicia looked like. Was she beautiful, gentle, and intelligent, as her son had described? After the encounter with Janet last time, she had little trust in her son’s judgment.“Sure!” Edward smiled brightly, then took the keys from the table and headed out of the hospital gate.On Felicia’s side, the dress designer had just arrived. They were currently selecting a wedding dress for the ceremony.“Felicia, based on what I see, your figure is beautiful. You will definitely suit a mermaid-style dress. What do y
"Really... Is that true?" Felicia seemed incredulous. She had assumed that Edward's mother, Mrs. Goreng, wouldn't approve of her, a blind person. She thought their engagement would surely face objections from Mrs. Goreng. However, the words just spoken by Edward's mother indicated otherwise. She accepted Felicia as her daughter-in-law. Everything seemed too good to be true.Mrs. Goreng looked at Felicia and smiled gently, finding the young girl before her incredibly pure-hearted. "Indeed, would an old woman like me, over forty years old, lie to you?""Thank you, thank you so much!" Felicia expressed her gratitude, reaching for Mrs. Goreng's hand. She knew that Mrs. Goreng was the closest relative to Edward, someone he respected greatly. If Mrs. Goreng hadn't agreed today, their wedding wouldn't proceed."No need to thank me so much. If Edward loves you, then I'm sure I'll like you. Besides, you're a kind, elegant, and polite young lady. How could I not like you?"Edward, hearing this,
