Right then, everyone’s attention was on the old master. The old master still had an irritated and stiff expression on his face. He seemed unhappy. “Fernie has already called you her grandfather. You need to show respect to your granddaughter-in-law in front of so many people,” Eugene whispered into the old master’s ear as he stood beside him. The old master cast a sideways glance at him and huffed. “Did I allow her to address me that way?” “You’re already here to attend our wedding. That means you’ve accepted her. Shouldn’t she address you that way?” Eugene asked with a smile. The old master glanced at Eugene, who was being gentle and courteous toward him. He huffed. He knew that this rascal was just speaking with such a dignified air to make him stay. Rue came over and held the old master’s hand. “Great-grandfather, I’ll be extremely upset if you don’t stay back.” She then pouted and showed him a sad expression. The old master looked at them. He knew that he would
The old master was sent into the emergency room. Everyone was waiting for him in the corridor. Fern was still dressed in the wedding gown. She had come over together with Eugene. The old master fainted during their wedding ceremony. Naturally, she had to come over with him. A few uncles and aunts from the Newton family came along as well. They looked at the tightly shut door of the emergency room, then at Fern, who was still dressed in the luxurious wedding gown. One of them could not help but speak up, “It’s no wonder I heard that the old master has always disliked her in the past. This is the reason why. She’s a bad omen.” “I heard that too. The old master thinks that she isn’t a good woman. She isn’t a good match for Eugene, but Eugene didn’t listen to him and insisted on marrying her.” “She looks like a seductress. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to charm Eugene to this extent.” “I think that the old master didn’t really accept her. He was simply afraid tha
Eugene caught sight of the old master lying on the bed after entering the emergency room. There was a ventilator covering his nose and mouth, but he was panting heavily. He seemed to be in critical condition.“Grandfather!” Eugene took a few steps over and held the old man’s hand tightly. A sense of heaviness enveloped his chest. Old Master Newton fixed his muddled gaze on his grandson. He held his hand with all his might. His lips trembled as he spoke, “Eugene…” He had been waiting for him. “Grandfather, it’s me. The doctors are going to treat you. You’ll be fine.” The old master understood his own situation well. “I understand my body better than they do. Listen to me… After I pass on, you must look after the Newton household…” The more he spoke, the more he started panting erratically. Eugene’s heart lurched painfully. “What nonsense are you saying? Nothing will happen to you!” “Did you hear what I said?” The old master held his hand tightly. He was losing the streng
Eugene suddenly let go of her and turned around to look at the doctor coldly. The doctor left the room in fear at once. Fern held him back and comforted him in a soft, gentle voice. “Eugene, let Grandfather pass on peacefully. We need to prepare for his funeral now.” Eugene lowered his head to look at her. He pursed his lips without saying anything. She could tell that he was extremely upset from the stiff expression on his face. She reached out to hug him. “Death is a natural phenomenon in life. Grandfather has gone to another world to continue living. Don’t be too upset.” His gaze darkened as he fixed it on her. Perhaps he had decided to listen to what she said. “Sorry, I should be giving you an unforgettable wedding today, but you need to prepare for a funeral with me now.” She deliberately showed him a rigid expression and said, “You’re wrong. I’m your wife. Of course, I must do everything by your side.” Her words made his heart flutter. His gaze on her darkened as h
Quincy realized that Dayton had suddenly fallen silent. She raised her head to look at him. She then noticed that he was frowning. There was a heavy and cold expression on his face too.“What’s wrong? Was I really bad at making friends in the past? Did I not have many friends?” She minded this a lot. Dayton touched his nose and refused to look at her. He nodded slightly and said, “Yes, you were pretty poor at making friends.”“Why?” She had a look of confusion on her face. Did she have such a lousy personality in the past? “Because…” Dayton played with the strands of her hair using his long and slender fingers. “As a young miss, you had a terrible temper. Nobody dared to offend you, so everyone avoided you.” Quincy frowned. She tried her best to recall the past, but nothing came to mind. Did she really have such a bad temper back then? “Tell me about how bad my temper was.” How could she not even have a single friend? Dayton fixed his dark, almond-shaped eyes on her and
All of the family members of the Newton household were here to send the old master off one last time.Everyone was dressed in black. There were white flowers pinned on their chests as well. Almost a hundred family members of the Newton household crowded in front of the old master’s grave. As the head of the household, Eugene stood in front. Meanwhile, Fern stood beside him. They had just completed their wedding ceremony, but they had to hold a funeral today. It was pretty inauspicious. However, Fern did not mind it at all. Although the old master was not really accepting of her in the past, he was Eugene’s grandfather, which meant that he was her grandfather as well. It started drizzling after the funeral ended. A subordinate held up an umbrella for both of them. Eugene held Rue’s hand with one of his and wrapped his other arm around Fern’s waist. They all left together. Just then, they heard someone complain, “That’s her. I heard that she’s a bad omen. When the old ma
Eugene swept his cold gaze across everyone present at the funeral and said, “This is my last time saying this. I don’t want to hear anyone bad-mouthing my wife anymore. Otherwise, don’t blame me for falling out with you. If anyone wishes to leave the Newton household, I’d gladly honor your wish.” All the family members of the Newton household took a sharp breath after hearing what he said. They all exchanged looks with each other. They did not dare to say anything although they were still unwilling to accept his words. After Eugene finished speaking, he ignored the expressions on their faces and left the cemetery with his wife and daughter. They then got in the car and left. Fern looked at Eugene, who still had an unpleasant expression on his face. She could not help but ask, “Weren’t your words too harsh?” “What words?” Eugene turned around to look at her. He then raised his brow and asked, “Do you mean when I asked them to leave the household?” He did not think so. “Sinc
“Huh? Really?” Both of them stared at the protruding part of her stomach and started investigating it. When Tia heard that Dayton wanted to bring Quincy over for a vacation, she stubbornly insisted on following them. She ran to the seaside and saw both of them sitting on a bench under the tree while acting all lovey-dovey. A sense of suffocation instantly overcame her. She clenched her hands into fists and ran over at once. “Dayton, I heard that we can go fishing in the ocean. Can you bring me along?” She walked over and grabbed Dayton’s arm. She then shook it in a coquettish manner. Dayton frowned and removed her hand. “If you want to go fishing, you can ask the manager here to bring you. He should know more about it than me.” “But… I want you to come with me.” Tia pouted and cast a pleading gaze at him. “I’m not free.” Dayton ignored her.“You seem pretty free now.” Tia was slightly angered. She glared at Quincy, who was seated beside him. Quincy glanced at T
