Chapter 1951
Chapter 1951
Tina secretly pinched Wilson's hand.
It was very meaningful, and it served as a warning.
Then, Tina smiled awkwardly and explained, "Amin, don't take it seriously. Wilson was just joking. When the invitation cards are printed, we'll send one to you!"
Even if their wedding ceremony would be a small one, there might still be a lot of relatives and friends coming.
As for Tina's previous marriage with Amin, those who were close to her knew that it was just a nominal marriage. However, there would still be some people who didn't know the truth. It would be very embarrassing when they saw that Tina's ex-husband was serving as the bestman.
Even Tina could tell that Wilson's suggestion was up to no good.
Amin nodded with a smile. "Alright."
After they chatted for a while, Tina said, "Then, we'll go now. See you again, Amin!"
Amin said, "Goodbye!"
Tina and Wilson got in the Rolls-Royce, and then the car was driven out of the cemetery.
The sky was dotted with orange-colored sunset glows. Through the rear car window, Amin could vaguely see Tina and Wilson snuggled up to each other.
Amin stood where he was.
He didn't move for a long time until the car gradually disappeared from his sight.
Amin was left alone, and there was only his shadow accompanying him.
The expression of Amin remained unchanged. He was still the handsome and gentle young man, and his eyes were like the depths of the ocean. No matter how many emotions surged up in his mind, he would always force them to retreat. He was quite used to hiding his emotions in the deepest part of his soul, for fear of their being discovered.
This thinking pattern of him was just like the swallow-shaped necklace that he intended to send Tina but failed to send out. In the end, the necklace could only be hidden in the corner of the bedside drawer.
After seeing this scene, Secretary Zalkin, who was waiting for his young master inside the car, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, as he felt a little numb there.
After leaving the cemetery, Tina and Wilson went to the Amery family's mansion.
Since the day when Abby was taken away by the police, Old Madam Amery seemed to have been down in spirits.
Two months had passed, but Old Madam Amery was still lacking in energy. She didn't even talk much, let alone yell out at others as usual.
In the past, everyone would feel annoyed when the Old Madam pestered them every day because her bad temper. But now, seeing the Old Madam so depressed, everyone feel very sad, which was even worse than being annoyed.
Old Madam Amery would occasionally smile only when she was facing Isla.
For this reason, whenever it was the weekend, Isla would be sent to the Amery family home, because she could warm up the atmosphere and make everyone happy.
When Tina entered the door, she saw that Isla was standing on the carpet in the living room, and performing for everyone the new songs and dances she had learned recently in the kindergarten. She was shaking her little butt and singing, "She's just like a seagrass, seagrass... It swayed along with the waves..."
Isla was such a lovely little girl!
As expected, Old Madam Amery burst into laughter at her granddaughter's performance.
Seeing that Tina and Wilson were coming, Old Master Amery was in a good mood, and he ordered the servants to start the meal.
As the wedding ceremony would be held in approximately 20 days, they had to discuss the list of guests so that they could send the invitation cards.
The most frequently-talked topic in the Amery family was the wedding between Tina and Wilson, and the atmosphere in the dining room had always been cozy and comfortable.
After dinner, Old Madam Amery suddenly called out Tina's name awkwardly.
Tina was surprised.
She barely talked to Old Madam Amery before, even when they were both in the Amery family's mansion. Old Madam Amery had always disliked Tina, while Tina would never take the initiative to talk to this old woman. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
After the Old Madam called her name, Tina was at a loss for what had happened.
Old Madam Amery asked Tina to wait for her in the side hall, and then she directly went upstairs.
Just as Tina was confused, the Old Madam came down again.
This time, there was a small wooden box in the Old Madam's hand.
The box was of the size of a palm and was carved with beautiful patterns. It seemed to be a jewelry box.
Old Madam Amery handed the box over. Tina was confused. "What..."
"It's for you!" the Old Madam said.
Tina opened it hesitantly.
There was an emerald necklace inside the box.
Old Madam Amery looked a little unnatural. She cleared her throat and said, "Ahem... Aren't you going to get married? Bill and Lin had already given you the wedding gifts. This is a gift from me! I went to the shopping mall and picked it up today. The shopping guide said that an emerald necklace is auspicious for newlyweds. I hoped that you'll like it!"
Tina was stunned.
And she was also amused.
She hadn't expected that Old Madam Amery would give her a gift. A rare instance like this was just like the sun rising from the west.
Tina touched the agate embedded in the necklace and felt that it was ice-cold, which meant that the agate was of superior quality.
Old Madam Amery's eyes flickered a number of times. She wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a long while. In the end, she said, "In the future... Can you call me Grandma?"
Tina was stunned again.
Old Madam Amery felt even more unnatural under Tina's gaze. "You call Bill 'Dad', and call Jeremy 'Grandpa'... But you call me 'Old Madam'... Don't you think this is a little bit strange?"
Tina asked, "Do you really want me to call you 'Grandma'?"
Old Madam Amery pursed her lips and looked at Tina sincerely. The answer was self-evident.
Tina then said obediently. "Grandma."
Now it was Old Madam Amery's turn to be stunned.
She looked at Tina with a complicated expression for a long while, and then asked in disbelief, "You agreed with it so easily?"
Old Madam Amery had never been kind to Tina before. She originally thought that it would be very difficult to persuade Tina to call her 'Grandma' and, what's worse, Tina might take this opportunity to ridicule her. Unexpectedly, Tina accepted her suggestion so easily.
Tina was amused. "So what? You felt reluctant to recognize me as your granddaughter before. If you want to recognize me as your granddaughter now, I'm of course willing to call you 'Grandma'."
In fact, Tina was not deeply affectionate towards Old Madam Amery.
Ever since the fact that Tina was Bill's biological daughter was revealed, the Old Madam had been unwilling to accept Tina as a new family member. Tina only called Bill and Old Master Amery "Dad" and "Grandpa" before. Tina's viewpoint was that if Old Madam Amery didn't accept her as a new family member, she wouldn't have to call her "Grandma".
However, there was not much hatred between Tina and Old Madam Amery.
It was true that Old Madam Amery didn't like Tina before, but she hadn't done anything too bad to Tina. She was just mean to Tina verbally.
Now that the Old Madam was willing to become more friendly or even intimate towards Tina, the latter of course would not refuse.
Old Madam Amery replied, "Alright."
She seemed to be trying her best to remain calm, but the trembling corners of her lips and eyes suggested that she was in a good mood.
Tina said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandma. I like this agate necklace very much!"
Hearing Tina calling her "Grandma", Old Madam Amery felt delighted, and her impression of Tina became much better.
In fact, Old Madam Amery felt a little regretful now.
What she was looking forward to most was having some grandchildren to play around her. If it weren't for her prejudice against Tina, she might have enjoyed more time with the younger generation.
Old Madam Amery was so happy to be called "Grandma" by Tina. She raised her chin and replied awkwardly yet boldly, "You're welcome. In the future, just tell me what you like. I'll buy them for you!"
Tina smiled sincerely this time. "Thanks!"
Old Madam Amery went upstairs in a good mood, and her footsteps were much brisker than before.
Bill was satisfied to see this scene.
He said with gratitude, "Tina, thank you for your consideration!"
Bill knew his mother the best.
She had always been a good example of "pride and prejudice", and therefore it was rare for her to behave in such a low-profile manner.
What was even rarer was that Tina was willing to accept the Old Madam's offer regardless of the past. Such a harmonious family environment was just what Bill wanted most.
Tina said with a smile, "Dad, I also want to thank you. You have helped me a lot with my wedding ceremony!"
Bill became even more delighted. "Dont forget I'm your father!"
Although Tina and Amin Stark had held a wedding ceremony before, Bill knew the truth that it was only a nominal marriage. For this reason, he didn't take it seriously.
This time, it was an authentic marriage between Tina and Wilson.
It was Bill's first time to see his daughter getting married, so he was a little excited.
