Chapter 1029 Thrown Out
Steven strolled over, smiling as he asked, “Do you disagree with this marriage arrangement, or are you dissatisfied with my daughter, Mrs.
Luther?”
Only then did Felicity realize that her refusal had been too abrupt, causing them to misunderstand. She quickly explained, “I'm not disagreeing
with this marriage proposal. Having Bay as my daughter-in-law has always been my dream, so how could I possibly have any objections?”
“In that case, what did you mean when you said 'no' just now?”
Felicity laughed and said, “I heard that Bay is moving back, so I thought my son had bullied her. We left home in a hurry and didn't even have
time to prepare a gift. This is a marriage proposal we're talking about, so how can it be handled so carelessly? How about this? I'll pick an
auspicious day soon and come here again with my husband and betrothal gifts. At that time, we can sit down and have a good chat. What do
you two think?”
Before Steven and Waverly could speak, Bailey interjected, “Mom, it's just a wedding. There's no need to make it so complicated. Casual is
fine.”
Upon hearing Bailey address Felicity as “Mom,” a pang of sadness involuntarily struck Waverly's heart.
However, she was open-minded about it. Of course, she had no choice but to be, considering she was the one who hurt her daughter first.
Now that her daughter was willing to move back home, she was already content. She didn't feel entitled to demand Bailey to address her as
“Mom.”
Bailey caught a fleeting glimpse of melancholy in Waverly's eyes, and her body shivered slightly.
Felicity, being as astute as she was, naturally sensed the dynamics between them. She quickly spoke up. “You don't want to make a fuss
because you're easy-going, but if the Luther family wants to marry you, we must show absolute sincerity. Listen to me on this matter. You
must not let yourself be wronged.”
Bailey was about to speak but was stopped by Artemis, who was standing next to her. “The Luther family's wishes align with mine. You
deserve the best in this world. A wedding happens only once in a lifetime, so how could we possibly rush it? Besides, you know so many big
shots internationally. It wouldn't be right not to invite them for a celebratory drink at your wedding. Bailey, listen to me. Leave the wedding
preparations to my parents and in-laws. Let them create the wedding of the century for us.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
“Yes, yes. That's right.”
Waverly and Felicity agreed at the same time.
They were determined to let their children have the most extravagant wedding in the world.
Bailey held her forehead. Unable to persuade any further, she simply gave up trying. “You're suggesting a traditional Chanaean wedding, so
does that mean I have to embroider my own wedding dress?”
Waverly laughed and said, “If you can't do it, you can hand it over to an embroiderer. The most skilled embroiderer in the country is none
other than Strassonian embroiderer. When the time comes, I will invite a few girls from Strassonian embroiderer to Hallsbay. I will personally
supervise them to ensure they embroider the most exquisite wedding dress.”
Upon hearing about the Chanaean-style wedding, Felicity instantly perked up. “Have you decided to have a Chanaean-style wedding? That's a
great idea! We should follow the six etiquettes, and everything should be of the highest standard. When the time comes...”
After taking two steps back, Bailey quietly left the reception room with Artemis.
Only when she could no longer hear the nagging of the two mothers did she finally breathe a deep sigh of relief. “Isn't it just getting married?
If it's up to me, just getting a certificate should settle it. Why all the fuss and formalities?”
Artemis reached out to embrace her, comforting her with a smile, “Whether it's the Luther family or the Shurmer family, both are
internationally renowned and prestigious households. We are both the legitimate children of two great families. How can we simply gloss over
our marriage? Let's bear with it. After all, it happens only once in a lifetime.”
Bailey buried her head in his chest, murmuring, “If I knew it would be this troublesome, I wouldn't have married you—Ah!”
A sharp pain shot through her earlobe. She tilted her head back to glare at him, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
Artemis's eyes gradually dimmed. He leaned in close to her ear and asked, “If I were to take you to the guest room to do something enjoyable,
would your father and brother beat me up?”
Bailey chuckled. “Why don't you give it a try?”
Artemis squinted his eyes in thought but eventually gave up. “My father-in-law and brother-in-law are still fond of me. I can't afford to ruin
my image. Ah, even if we rush through the six rituals, it will still take at least three months. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. How
am I supposed to endure such a long time?”
With a playful twinkle in her eyes, Bailey flashed a mischievous smile and said in a soft, velvety voice, “You could whisk me away to your
private mansion, and after we've had our fun, you could bring me back...”
Before she could finish speaking, a wave of dizziness hit her. She let out a sharp scream and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
“What are you doing?”
“Let's head to my private mansion right now. I think it's time I pamper you a bit.”
Bailey was rendered speechless.
After escorting Scarlett to the official residence, Justin didn't return to the Xuereb residence but instead went to the Revelle residence.
Bill had significant objections toward him.
After all, this scoundrel who'd been pestering his daughter was getting married to someone else the next day.
Even though he repeatedly assured that the wedding would not proceed smoothly, the outside world had already habitually linked him with
Scarlett.
Just for that reason alone, he couldn't bring himself to be friendly to Justin. “Didn't I tell you? Clean up the mess of people around you. Only
after you've sorted everything out can you come to see my daughter. Before that, keep your distance and don't taint my daughter's eyes with
your presence, you little rascal. Are you even refusing to listen to my words now?”
Justin nodded and said, “I haven't seen Vero for several days now, Dad.”
“What did you call me?”
“Dad.”
“I dare you to address me like that again.”
“Dad.”
Bill was enraged. This b*stard! Can't he understand what I'm saying? I'm telling him to stop addressing me like that. Yet, he keeps calling me
“Dad.” Has he gotten addicted to doing so?
Justin still had his head lowered, his tone neither humble nor arrogant. “Dad, I won't let Vero down. Please let me go in and see her.”
Bill was not at all pleased. He was in a foul mood. How dare he try to elope with my daughter right under my nose? “No—”
Before the words could leave his mouth, a gentle voice echoed from the second-floor balcony. “Dad, let him come up. It's time for my full
body check-up.”
Bill glared fiercely at Justin, warning him sternly, “If anything goes wrong tomorrow, don't bother coming to see my daughter again.”
“Yes.”
Upon reaching the second floor, Justin went straight to the balcony and embraced Veronique from behind. “Thank you. Otherwise, Dad
wouldn't have let me in today, and he would have set his dogs on me instead.”
Veronique chuckled lightly, asking, “Is it all going to end tomorrow?”
“Indeed, let's put an end to this love triangle. From now on, it's just the two of us in this world.”
Veronique leaned into his embrace, gazing at the distant sea. In a soft voice, she said, “Having walked through the gates of hell, I've come to From NôvelDrama.Org.
understand the preciousness of love even more. Justin, there won't be any more hardships between us, will there?”
“No.”
In the end, it was too soon to say such things. If the heavens refused to grant them liberation, how could they possibly free themselves?
It was his overconfidence that led to him being caught off guard by Scarlett at the wedding. He didn't even have a chance to retaliate and could
only be led around by her.
News spread quickly that Lionel and Lynda had booked a room at Violet Rosette.
