Married at First Sight Chapter 3386
The little Audrey in Patrick’s memory had only been a few years old, but now, she was already a grandmother. Oh, how old he had gotten. Ms. Tiara’s grandchildren were already old enough to get married and have kids. If she were still alive, she would definitely be very happy that she had three outstanding granddaughters and would not have to worry about choosing her successor. She could randomly pick one to bear the heavy burden and still not have to worry. It was just a shame that Tiara was unable to witness her offspring’s achievements herself. After Patrick woke up and realized he was not dreaming and that he really had met Audrey, he cried at the thought of Tiara and felt bitter on her behalf. She had raised Belinda like she was her own daughter, but fell at her hands in the end.Tiara had loved, cared for, and trusted Belinda wholeheartedly, so indeed, Belinda was the only possible person who could harm her. Alivia had not had such ambition and was also a very kind and gentle

Patrick gave Darrell a couple of glances as he recollected about Grandma May’s past.“Uncle True, I’m very devoted to my wife too.” Darrell understood the meaning behind Patrick’s glances and immediately made it clear that he was also a doting husband.Patrick smiled with satisfaction. “I can tell that you dote on our Missy Drey very much.”Audrey felt a warm sensation in her heart. Patrick was equivalent to family. Even if her parents were still alive, considering Patrick’s position and how much he cared for her and her sister, he would indeed still be considered family. Both her parents always said Uncle True was the truest of them all and there was no need to worry he would betray them.He often helped her mother with work and spent time with her alone, discussing plans, but even then her father did not worry the slightest and would not take offense. In Audrey’s impression, her mother had not been in good health and often had to rest in bed, while her father was a mild-tempered

Eventually, Old Mrs. Stone accepted Audrey, also because she gave birth to two boys and a girl. Audrey only truly felt at ease in the business world after this. Old Mrs. Stone especially doted on Elisa, whose temperament was similar to hers. “You’re being modest, Missy Drey. You’ve fully inherited Ms. Tiara’s talents and would do well anywhere you go.” Patrick’s words were full of pride like a parent bragging about their child.As Darrell and Audrey helped Patrick out of the room, she laughed. “I wasn’t yet the heir of the Fishers and didn’t have this status to back me up, so I had to start my own business. Otherwise, as someone’s employee, I would have to be an excellent judge of character in everything I do, and many things were beyond my control.”Later on, she indeed started her own company. After Clive stepped up, she handed her company to him to manage and she stepped down, spending her retirement peacefully with Darrell. From time to time, she would worry about her children’

Patrick said with relief, “I know, Serenity has a good husband. She married into the York family, so there’s no need to worry about her. Things will only get better for her from here on out. Old Mrs. York is a smart cookie. “But I heard Liberty’s divorced and I know she has custody of her son. Before I came here, I did ask some men to look into her ex-husband. The Browns were simply too shameless and outrageous.“It’s just that Liberty’s still so young. She’s only in her early thirties and will still have to find someone willing to marry into the family. This is the way it has always been done.”Patrick understood right away that Audrey did not intend to fight for the position of the matriarch herself when Audrey arranged for Liberty to go to Jensburg. Serenity was the Yorks’ eldest daughter-in-law. She was not suitable to take the position, and even if Zachary was willing to marry into the Fisher family, the Fishers would be too embarrassed to let him do so.Meanwhile, Elisa was

Sugar was not willing to reveal even just her real name, so Serenity and company did not even ask where she was from. When they heard Audrey reminding Patrick not to rush down the stairs, everybody stopped chatting to look toward them.A few young ones went over to help Patrick descend, but he laughed and waved them off. “I’m alright. I’m not so weak that I need support just to walk.”They all seemed to be Tiara’s offspring. Patrick felt gratified. He thought Tiara’s whole family was dead but fortunately, he had found the two sisters, who both also had children of their own. Tiara’s lineage had not died out.Sonny had never met Patrick and hurriedly retreated into Serenity’s arms when he saw the old man. Serenity said softly, “Sonny, this is your great-granduncle I told you about.”Sonny stayed silent as he watched Patrick with his bright, sparkling eyes. Patrick sat down and greeted Grandma May and the rest.She asked in concern, “Are you alright, Old Pat? You don’t look too well

Zachary’s mouth twitched. His nana called him a blockhead again. Serenity could not help but laugh. Grandma May liked to call her grandsons blockheads, but were blockheads this handsome?Sugar glanced at Dylan when everyone’s attention was elsewhere. When Grandma May arrived at the Stones’ manor, she also informed her other grandsons who were in Wiltspoon to come over to meet the elders. Although the elders accepted her invitation and promised to visit Wildridge Manor, she was still afraid they would go back on their word. Where would she find them if they suddenly disappeared?Despite being born in the same generation, Grandma May was unfamiliar with the elders. She had only heard about them but had not met them in person. She could not guarantee that they would visit Wildridge Manor for her. After hearing Grandma May’s words, Silver glanced at Sugar. He teased Grandma May, “I don’t think you have to look any further. What do you think of my student? Sugar is in her

“What about us ordinary people, Grandma May? If Zachary and the rest are considered mediocre, we’re probably bottom feeders.”Clive smiled and joked around. Remy nodded in agreement. Grandma May laughed aloud. Her nine grandsons were her greatest pride. After a few more years, her grandsons would have formed their own families. Even if she died, she could leave with a smile on her face. Patrick looked toward Sonny again. Sonny was in Serenity’s arms, looking at everyone curiously. He did not understand what the elders were saying. “He does look a lot like her,” Patrick murmured to himself. “He looks a lot like Ms. Lisa when she was young. If he had his hair in braids and wore a dress, he would look exactly like her.”Patrick was lost in reminiscence while staring at Sonny. Back then, Lisa used to ask him to lift her whenever she saw him. “Uncle True, upsy-daisy.”He could never refuse her request. Patrick would lift her high and spin her around before putting her

Grandma May smiled. “Sonny is indeed a good boy, but he can also be very naughty sometimes.“If he’s quiet, it means he’s causing trouble somewhere.”Serenity chimed in. “There was once when he was playing quietly on his own. I went looking for him, and it turned out he was playing with my skincare and makeup. My lipstick was smeared all over the table and floor.“He even smeared it all over his face. I was totally speechless.”Everyone burst into laughter as they imagined the scene. Sonny was embarrassed by everyone laughing at him. He buried his face in Patrick’s chest and said, “Aunt Ser is laughing at me, Great-grandpa True.”Patrick was swooning over how Sonny was addressing him. He immediately got protective and told Serenity, “Stop laughing at him, Serenity. That’s just how kids are when they’re young. Your mom used to be naughty when she was young too.“She would spill the expensive alcohol Madam Tiara had collected and even smash the bottles. She also took a pair of sc

“You can drink it now. It’ll turn cold if left aside for longer.”Isabella took the ginger ale and drank it with elegance. She put it down after drinking half of it. “I’m drunk, but only slightly. I can walk, and my brain is still alert. I know what I’m doing and saying.“I’ve had enough ginger ale.”She did not want to consume too much liquid late at night. “Which family is your fiancée from, Austin? Where is she? Do you mind telling me?”Isabella was insistent on getting answers. Austin had never told her when she had asked him about it before. He kept saying he would focus on working and that he was not in a rush to get married. After all, he was only in his twenties; Zachary only got married at thirty years old. If he was unsuccessful in wooing his fiancée that year, he did not mind waiting for a few more years. Isabella suddenly felt jealous of Austin’s fiancée, having had his heart without even doing anything. She wondered what Austin’s fiancée had done to cat

Austin stared into Isabella’s eyes. He could detect some feelings in her gaze, but it was not obvious enough. What she felt for him was still mostly admiration. It was not the right time for him to confess yet. He would continue to wait. “You’re the best and most outstanding lady in my heart, Ms. Isabella. I admire you more.”Austin added gently, “You give off a strict and cold aura sometimes, but you’re always a nice person in my eyes.”Isabella had treated him well ever since he became her private chef. It only got better after she discovered he was a young master of the Yorks. Austin believed her when she said she viewed him as a friend because her actions reflected it as well. However, he was not content with being just friends. He wanted to be her husband. He wanted her to trust him and love him forever. He would also reciprocate her feelings and trust. Isabella smiled. “Even my parents are scared and avoid me when I’m in a serious mode. Louis and Phillip w

Austin responded, “Don’t worry, Ms. Edith. I’ll take good care of Ms. Isabella.”Edith had come in a hurry and left just as quickly. The hidden meaning in her cousin’s words was not lost on Isabella, but she did not comment on it.She allowed Austin to accompany her into the house. The lights were still on inside, but the first floor was empty. Everyone else had already gone to bed.Since Isabella had not returned yet, the housekeeper had left the lights on for her.The house was warm, so once inside, Isabella took off Austin’s coat and handed it back to him.Austin accepted the coat and followed her to the sofa. After she had sat down, he asked gently, “Ms. Isabella, would you like some ginger ale for a hangover remedy?”Isabella rubbed her temples and said, “Yes, please. I don’t want to wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow.”Austin immediately went to prepare it for her.Isabella leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. After some time, she heard Austin’s

Isabella’s bodyguard had only called out to her, not daring to touch her, so she had not woken up. However, when Austin gently patted her face and called her, she woke up almost immediately. When she opened her eyes and saw Austin’s handsome face, Isabella was momentarily dazed, thinking she was dreaming about him.She had actually dreamed about Austin. Had she developed feelings for him? If she had not, why would she dream about him? In all her life, this was the first time she had dreamed about a man. Isabella wanted to touch Austin’s face, but as she raised her hand, she realized she was not dreaming.Austin was real. She could smell the fresh scent on him because they were so close.He had showered.Isabella quietly lowered her hand, hoping Austin had not noticed her earlier intention, lest he misunderstood.“Ms. Isabella,” Austin’s warm and pleasant voice reached her ears, making her want to close her eyes and go back to sleep. With him around, she felt safe and secure.

Hunter had neither money nor power. What could he possibly use to save his sons?“Dad, go home. When the trial starts, we’ll send someone to pick you up so you can attend and observe.”Hunter stood up angrily and stormed off.After he left, Ellie asked Ava, “Are we really not going to do anything? My child is still young. Having a father in prison will always be a stain on their life.”“What can we do? Even if we wanted to save them, we don’t have the means. We know what Caroline is like. She’s not going to let this go lightly this time,” Ava replied. “Anyway, think about last year, when they were caught cheating. How did they treat us then?”Remembering the events from last year, Ellie said, “Let them serve a few years in prison, then. Ava, Caroline is in the hospital. Should we go visit her?”“We should. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll call Emma and visit Caroline together. The Fisher family is full of terrible people, but Caroline still has some conscience. She’s always been kind t

Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. After his children grew up, he secretly asked them for money. During that time, he had money to spend freely, living a lavish life outside.However, all that money had been spent. He had no savings, mainly because he was used to spending extravagantly.He had been unable to save money. He did not own any shops or properties either; Belinda had kept him on a tight leash.The house in their hometown had been built with Belinda’s money, but it was not under his name. It was under his three sons’ names.After Belinda’s death, his sons supported him. Each son gave him over a hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses.Combined, that was several hundred thousand dollars a month, allowing him to live comfortably in Ashford. He had managed to save a little, but not much, just over a million dollars in total. Hiring the best lawyers for h

Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w
