Nicole was stumped as she thought about Evan’s handsome face, his eyes, and the times they were together. The news that he was getting married placed her mind in disarray.
Seeing that Nicole was deep in thought, Levant said, “Nicole, this is great news! Even though he was your bodyguard for a short period, you should congratulate him. Get him a big gift.”
His words snapped her back into reality, and she nodded stiffly.
“You’re right. I should prepare a nice gift for him.”
Levant went quiet – he was disappointed by Nicole’s lack of reaction.
Evan Seet, I’ll be sure to bring Nicole along when I attend your wedding ceremony.
Nicole secretly let out a sigh. It’s good that he’s getting married. I won’t have those dirty thoughts about him now, especially when he has a wife.
Evan was no longer her bodyguard, so Nicole would no longer be able to see him after the man got married.
That’s good. There’ll be no chance for me to be delirious about him.
While she was deep in thought, her hands shifted around restlessly. It was obvious that she was feeling quite agitated.
Meanwhile, John looked at Evan and Susan and let out a quiet sigh.
I was rooting for Mrs. Seet this whole time. Who would’ve thought a wild Susan would appear and snatch him away. Is this fate in action?
In John’s eyes, Susan looked exquisite and talked really politely. She was shy and compliant, nothing like Nicole, who was straightforward.
Why would Mr. Seet marry a woman who’s the direct opposite of Mrs. Seet?
John pursed his lips. There must be something wrong with Mr. Seet. He wouldn’t have agreed to marry her otherwise.
“Evan, when should we hold the wedding ceremony?” Susan clung to Evan as she spoke.
“Once we get back.” Evan’s expression was bland as he answered casually.
“Evan, could we hold it here? I want to marry you as soon as I can.”
“Conduct the wedding here?” Evan asked, surprised.
“Yes. If you really want to marry me, let’s do it here. A grand ceremony that will allow the whole world to know that you’re marrying me – that I’m your wife. We can register after that when we get back.”
Evan stayed silent.
I’ve already agreed to the marriage; why the haste? Is she scared that I’ll go back on my word?
Seeing that Evan did not respond, Susan went to stand right in front of him. “Evan, I’ve waited for this for years. I want the wait to end sooner. Can you do this for me? Please?”
Her eyes were crystal clear as she spoke with a woeful look on her face.
Evan was instantly reminded of how much he owed her. Since I’ve already promised to marry her, where and when shouldn’t matter. The outcome will be the same at this point anyway.
“Fine. As you wish.”
“Evan, thank you!”
John secretly pulled a face. Mr. Seet’s actually powerless against something like this? One only has to beg him a bit, and he’ll agree?
Back then, no matter what difficulties Evan put Nicole through, the woman would never beg him like that.
Babies that cry really do get the milk first!
Stephen was astonished when he heard that Evan was getting married.
“Evan’s heart has always been with Nicole. Why would he go on to marry another woman?”
“Sir Musgrave, Evan Seet is staying at Clare’s Hotel. Would you like to ask him directly?”
Nicole lost her memories, and Levant is latching onto her. Now, Evan’s marrying someone else. Are these affectionate lovers going to pass each other by like this?
It reminded Stephen of his time with Rosalie and his regrets. He did not want to see the lovers miss out on each other.
You’ll never meet some people again once you leave them! It becomes a hole in your heart that can never be filled!
“Tell the driver to head to Clare’s Hotel.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Stephen’s visit gave Evan quite the surprise, but it was understandable.
Evan and the duke got along really well. Moreover, he was Nicole’s biological father. Evan knew Stephen cared about her a lot, so it’s only natural that the man would care about their relationship as well.
“Sir Musgrave, have a seat.”
Stephen let out a soft sigh before he sat on the premium leather sofa opposite Evan.
