“I’m afraid Chuck can’t make it,” Simon said slowly.
“What?” Gavin looked shocked when he heard Simon’s words.
“Marina told me she wanted to hold our wedding as soon as possible. Furthermore, she doesn’t need those complicated procedures. She only wants to have both families as part–time witnesses, Simon said.
Gavin basically agreed with Simon’s guess when he heard Simon’s words.
T
The marriage between the Bailey family and the Hernandez family was a grand event.
Even though Marina was particularly quiet, they could not keep a low profile for their wedding.
However, it was clear that something unexpected had happened when Marina said that.
And the unexpected situation could only be Chuck.
“The last time I saw Mr. Bailey, he seemed in pretty good shape. How could it be so sudden?” said Gavin. He was still in disbelief.
“The last thing the aged man’s body can take is a blow. Lambert’s death should make him very sad.” Simon’s voice was also a
little low.
“Miss Bailey must be upset now,” Gavin said slowly.
Simon’s gaze involuntarily landed on the phone on the table when he heard Gavin’s words.
Marina’s voice sounded a little off just now, indeed.
Did she have anyone by her side now?
Simon could not stay here any longer at the thought.
He picked up his phone and stood
1. up.
“I’m going out for a while. If Carter calls, tell him that I have something to do. I’ll contact him when I’m back, Simon said.
“Yes, sir!” Gavin immediately replied.
Marina originally wanted to lie on the bed and rest for a while.
She somehow fell asleep.
However, Marina was never quite at ease in her sleep.
There were always many strange monsters in her dream.
Marina wanted to break free from those restraints, but for some reason, the more she struggled, the tighter those things bound her.
Just as she was sweating profusely, a gentle voice suddenly pulled her out of her nightmare.
Looking at Simon, who was sitting in front of her, Marina thought that she was hallucinating.
“Am I still in a dream?” asked Marina. Her voice was extremely hoarse. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“No. I’m real” Simon grabbed Marina’s hand and gently placed it on his chest.
Under Marina’s palm was Simon’s strong and powerful heartbeat.
“Why are you suddenly here?” asked Marina. She finally believed that the person before her was real.
“I was a little worried about you, so I came to see you.” Simon pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the thin sweat off Marina’s face.
“Did you have a nightmare? I saw that you were sleeping restlessly just now,” said Simon in a light and gentle voice.
“You knew?” Marina did not answer Simon’s question. Instead, she asked him a question.
Although Marina didn’t say anything useful in her sentence, Simon knew what she was asking.
“I guessed it when I heard you talking about us getting married on the phone,” said Simon without hiding anything.
Upon hearing Simon’s words, Marina felt even more suffocated.
Then, she gently buried her head in Simon’s shoulder.
“Grandpa has always been strong. If… If it weren’t for Lambert, he definitely wouldn’t be…”
Marina could not continue to say more words.
She was a doctor and knew exactly what it was like when life came to an end.
“Chuck is getting old. He will leave one day. Marina, the only thing we can do now is to let him leave without any regrets.” said Simon, who hugged Marina in his arms.
“I’ve known what he wanted. He wants me to start a family soon and someone to share the burden on my shoulders.
“That’s why I asked for a wedding in such a hurry. You won’t blame me, will you?” Marina asked.
“What are you talking about? How could I blame you? You’re my wife. Your business is my business.
“Your grandfather is my grandfather. I will make him believe I can protect you well!” said Simon. The expression on his face was extremely solemn.
“…Umm!” Marina said and nodded heavily.
Simon told her to leave everything to him.
So Marina really did not care about anything about the wedding.
Even the people from the Bailey family were personally notified by Simon.
Probably because everyone was well aware of it, no one rejected their marriage.
Even Sam and Mary had flown back overnight.
Just like that, their wedding was put on the agenda.
However, Marina basically did not need to participate in it and spent all her time with Chuck.
Until half a month later.
Simon told Marina that everything was ready.
Marina immediately relayed the news to Chuck.
Chuck was so happy that he ate half a bowl of mashed potatoes that night.
Everyone in the family was also beaming.
However, everyone knew that underneath this joy was sadness that could be broken at a touch.
On the morning of Marina’s wedding.
Chuck woke up early in the morning.
Moreover, he looked very energetic.
There was even a hint of redness on her face.
He wore a brand new suit and walked into Marina’s room with his walking stick.
Marina was in the midst of her makeup.
The moment she saw Chuck enter, she subconsciously wanted to stand up.
However, Chuck only waved at her.
“Just sit tight. You’re going to be the prettiest bride today. You absolutely can’t be held up by an old man like me,” said
Chuck.
Upon hearing Chuck’s words, Marina could only sit obediently.
She let the stylist behind her do her makeup and hair.
Meanwhile, Chack sat quietly at the side and waited for her.
After Marina finished her makeup and put on her wedding dress, she slowly walked to Chuck.
“Grandpa,do you think it looks good?” said Marina. She opened her arms and gestured to Chuck.
“It’s beautiful.” Chuck nodded vigorously.
“Lambert came to look for me before he left, Chuck suddenly mentioned Lambert.
Marina’s expression could not help but freeze when she heard Chuck’s words.
However, Marina quickly returned to normal.
Then, she slowly sat down beside Chuck.
“What did Lambert say to you?” asked Marina.
Ever since Lambert’s accident, everyone avoided talking about Lambert’s name.
12:09
This was the first time Marina talked about Lambert with her family.
Chuck said slowly, “He told me he wanted to marry someone
“That brat was afraid that I wouldn’t say yes, so he came to tell me in advance
“Don’t you think he’s being superfluous? When have ever stood in the way of something important in your life?
“That boy still didn’t believe me. He’s afraid I’ll make things difficult for his future wife.” Chuck smiled when he said that.
