“Mom, are you okay?” Edward hurriedly ran back to his mother, his face unable to hide the worry.Mrs. Goreng, upon hearing Edward’s voice, lifted her head, her gaze complex as she looked at him. The story of the other woman kept replaying in her mind. Edward dropped out of school, Edward faced criticism, and Edward married Felicia to provide money for her treatment.“Mom, what’s wrong? How do you feel inside?” Seeing his mother remaining silent, Edward couldn’t help but feel anxious. She was his only family, and no matter how calculated he was in everything, he didn’t want his mother to suffer any harm. Moreover, today was his wedding day, and Mrs. Goreng was his mother; she couldn’t go through anything unfortunate.Mrs. Goreng’s gaze at Edward remained unchanged. It might be pity, remorse; she genuinely wanted an answer from her son. She wanted him to tell her that everything was fabricated, even though she knew deep down that it was a hundred percent true.“Mom, say something! Don’t
The officiant began to read the declaration“Does Miss Felicia Swan accept Mr. Edward Sherwood as her husband and promise to remain faithful to him, in good times as well as in bad times, in sickness and in health, to love and respect Mr. Edward Sherwood every day of your life, right? “."I agree." Felicia tightly held Edward's large hands and nodded slightly. Felicia's eyes began to tear up. Now was that moment she had been waiting for for so long. I wonder if any girl would not be happy when she gets married to the person she loves.The homeowner looked at Felicia and smiled. He felt the love that his daughter standing in front of him had for her groom.“Does Mr. Edward Sherwood accept Miss Felicia Swan as his wife and promise to remain faithful to her, in good times and in bad times, in sickness and in health, to love and honor her every day? in life, right? “.When she heard the officiant's announcement, Felicia's heart skipped a beat. The sauna girl's head turned towards Edward.
“Are you sure?” Edward smirked at Janet. This was the first thing he had said since the incident began.“What do you mean by that?” Janet immediately furrowed her brow, expressing displeasure. She couldn’t believe he could make such irresponsible remarks. In the past month, she had only been involved with one person, and that was Edward. The child in her womb could only be his!Emily quickly joined her teammate, hands on hips, ready to scold. “I can’t believe you can be so irresponsible! Janet is here today, and you still think she’s deceiving you? Or is it because you deceive others so often that you think everyone is like you!”In contrast to the aggressive attitude of Janet and Emily, Edward remained remarkably calm. He gently patted Felicia’s shoulder to reassure her, then slowly approached where Emily was standing.“Emily Sherwood, should I address you as ‘sister’? Even though your mother married my biological father, you’ve also become a Sherwood. Though our blood doesn’t run th
“Hmph, the mask is getting thicker and thicker.” Edward looked at Janet, wearing a scornful smile. The game was getting more interesting by the moment; the more pitiful Janet appeared, the more embarrassed she would be soon!Janet continued to put on a pitiful face, rubbing her belly with her hand and swaying gently. “Edward, I never expected you to be such a stingy and heartless person! Even if you don’t want to take responsibility for the child in my womb, you shouldn’t use such words to talk about me!”“So what? Now I realize I’ve been too generous! I will overlook the incident at the university, but here you are, trotting down the old path to create chaos. It seems I can’t be lenient with you this time!”Hearing this, Janet raised her head in disbelief. The incident at the university? How dare Edward bring it up again? In the eyes of everyone, Janet was the victim, the one who needed protection. And Edward, he was the pervert who peeped at her! There’s a saying: the truth doesn’t
“Indeed, she’s an old-mouthed whore. Looking at her face, no one would suspect her sinister and filthy nature like that!” “That’s right, not only did she cheat on someone, but she also dared to come here and disrupt the wedding. The child in her womb, who knows whose it is, and she blames it on Edward!” “Truly, all kinds of people exist in this world!”Edward stood on the stage, looking down, and the insults they hurled at Janet genuinely pleased him. As he had said before, for every tear Janet had shed, she now had to endure the criticism and insults of so many. He did nothing wrong; he merely retold the story.“At that time, when everything fell apart, Janet wanted an excuse to break up with me. So, she framed me as a peeping Tom in the women’s restroom. She completely severed the relationship between us, claiming we were strangers. Jeff is Janet’s boyfriend. I explained myself back then, but no one believed me. I thought maybe I should just let it pretend this never happened. Howev
Emily was speechless, she thought she was a chicken but instead she was rice. I thought today would make Edward lose his reputation, but it didn't. She turned him into Edward's christening priest, and she herself also successfully took on the bad role in the play she created.“Edward, I think Emily was tricked by Janet too! She doesn't know any of this!” Mr. Sherwood hurried up to the stage. A foolish child has a bad reputation, and now that Emily has a bad reputation, he is also affected a lot.Edward watched Mr. Sherwood and Emily act out the scene of father and son's deep love and couldn't help but smile faintly. It was clear that he was his biological son. When Emily smeared him earlier, he was speechless. When this unrelated child was touched, he jumped up. It's true that everything in life happens, I'm just afraid you won't live long enough.“Edward, please forgive Emily this time, she didn't mean it. You also know, Emily's personality is straightforward, maybe she was tricked b
Mr. Sherwood looked down at the girl kneeling in front of him, crying. Although he and Emily did not have any father-daughter relationship, after all, they lived under the same roof for more than ten years, and Emily was also his wife's daughter. Not to mention, if he let Edward punish Emily in front of the guests now, he wouldn't know where to put his face. What's wrong with a foolish child? Who says Emily is still your daughter in name?“Edward, I know what Emily did is difficult to forgive, but please respect her as your older sister, please forgive her just once.” Mr. Sherwood threw away all his honor and humbled himself to beg Edward. At this point, he did not know what to do but rely on Edward. He only hoped that he would soften his heart and forgive this daughter of his.Edward still did not speak, he looked painfully at Mr. Sherwood. It's not unfair to say he's stupid. Even at this point, he still begs you to spare that daughter who isn't related by blood... What he does is on
“Okay, I believe you.” Mrs. Goreng ultimately chose to believe her son. She saw sincerity in his eyes. Furthermore, he could lie to her but Olivia couldn't, Olivia had no reason to cover for him. Emily lied to her about Edward dropping out of school, so she could also lie to her about other things.Edward could now smile. The person he doesn't want to hurt the most in the world is Mrs. Goreng.“Thank you, thank you for trusting me.”“Okay, let's go inside. Your bride is still waiting for you.”" Okay." After Edward finished speaking, he turned around and left. Mrs. Goreng believed her, and he was also a little more relieved.Behind her, Mrs. Goreng's eyes were always thoughtfully watching her son. Even though she didn't say it out loud, her heart was filled with countless things right now. Somehow, every time she faced Edward, she felt more strange. I don't know if it's because she thinks too much or her son has really changed.Edward returned to the wedding room, Felicia was waiting
