Chapter 571 Marriage Confirmation
Sure, marrying someone you love is irrefutably the right thing to do, but with such extravagant betrothal gifts? Gosh, I am sweating just from hearing it.
On the other end of the line though, Veronica was moved to tears by what Matthew had done. She recalled him showing up at her house on New Year’s Day and mentioning the wedding to her adoptive mother. At that time, he promised to pay a dowry of one billion, which Veronica assumed was all talk then. Who knew he actually did as he said?
The Bloomstead house was worth every square foot of land, with a square foot costing forty thousand dollars. In other words, the value of the building was incalculable!
“It’s too valuable, Matt.” Veronica desired to marry Matthew, but she was embarrassed by his astronomical betrothal gift.
“You silly girl,” Matthew responded with a beam on his handsome face, “We’re a family.”
We’re a family.
These three simple words provided Veronica with a sense of security and warmth.
She was deeply moved despite the fact that it was not an outright confession. “You… You…”
Even through the video call, Veronica’s voice could be heard choking up as tears streamed from the corners of her eyes. Out of happiness, she burst into tears and laughed. “Look at me. I’m in tears! This is far too embarrassing.” She was amused by her own action as she wiped her tears away with her slender fingers.
She was not crying because she wanted to; she was just too moved and the tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.
Meanwhile, Tony examined the property right certificate that was laid in front of him. He knew that Matthew would not dismiss such issues lightly and he was surprised by his generosity.
This sum of money and real estate, which had been transferred prior to the wedding into the Murphy couple’s account, basically meant that Tony and Daniella fully owned them now. Even if the young lovebirds decided to divorce in the future, Matthew would be unable to recover the money either.
Although Tony had no idea how wealthy the Kings Family was, Matthew’s willingness to provide this impressive dowry was enough to demonstrate his love for Veronica.
Not to mention the time when Matthew assisted Tony in chopping the woods back at home on New Year’s Day, it was all kept in Tony’s memory. At that moment, he turned to face Daniella, only to find her nodding. The two were not bribed with money, but their future son-in-law’s manner had gained their trust.
“What has kept you so quiet, Master Crayson? Is it because you don’t trust me and Matt?” Veronica regained her composure and noticed that Crayson had remained silent, prompting her to inquire.
“Hmph, I can’t be in charge of your marriage.” He sighed. “Ugh, I’m getting old.”
His words rendered Veronica speechless. Wow, Hollywood has just found their new Oscar-worthy actor. Twenty years of acting and the director has just called ‘Cut!’ What a master indeed.
“Since you won’t be in charge, I’ll take it as a yes.” Her lips pursed into a smile. “So… Mom and Dad, I assumed you’re giving us your blessings too. Matthew is kind to me. He… ”
Veronica acted coquettishly over the phone with her parents, hoping that they would accept her and Matthew’s marriage.
“Oh dear, we are aware of the genuine love both of you have demonstrated for each other. What’s the worry for if they truly love each other? It’s for their own sake.” Elizabeth was sympathetic to Matthew’s lavish dowry, but she also adored Veronica. At this point, she could only do her best to support the lovebirds’ marriage.
Meanwhile, Daniella was on the fence, so she stared at Tony while awaiting his decision.
“Why are you staring at me?” He gently slapped the table with his hand while saying, “Don’t you think our daughter is obstinate? It’s not like we can separate them now that she’s pregnant with the Kingses’ child.”
Daniella nodded in agreement before asking, “Crayson, what do you think?”
