Chapter 77
Mary Kinson smiled gently and did not say much.
After they had walked hand in hand, a figure stepped hastily through the door of the East Hospital and came hurriedly back.
He sat quietly by the bedside with a hint of worry in his eyes.
In the evening Emma woke up.
She was sweating profusely and looked so embarrassed she did not dare look at her son, “I am fine.”
Richard Black held her cold hand, “Mama, I heard the servant say that William Black returned today. You got angry after seeing his fiancée, did not you?”
Emma did not want to tell her son about Mary Kinson. She teased him, “You have not seen her yet?”
Richard Black nodded, “Well, only Dad and some uncles were in the study to talk about Grandfather’s illness. William Black was in the study too, but I have not seen his fiancée.”
Emma’s eyebrow hung low and he hesitated to open his mouth, “Then you and Mary Kinsonare now…”
Richard Black let go of her hand and slumped, “Mama, I have said before that for the sake of the relationship between mother and son, it’s better not to mention Mary Kinson.”
After meeting Mary Kinson in the bar, he came back and questioned his mother directly. The conversation became more and more heated… They almost broke off the mother-child relationship then.
It was only because Black’s grandfather’s health was failing that he was afraid the servant would tell the grandfather. So Richard Black resisted his anger and got along well with Emma.
Emma is already very aware of her son’s persistence about Mary Kinson. Seeing that the situation is wrong, she shakes her head, “Do not mention it, first help me go back to my room.”
Anyway, you can not catch her and she can not hurt you.
Still, to avoid unexpected changes, she thought about not telling her son that Mary Kinson would marry into her family.
This could drag on for a while.
…
The next day, after dinner.
The members of the family gathered in the study of the west court, the largest area of the family, old but luxurious and unobtrusive.
Inside the room is a large round table with seven soft chairs.
Since Teddy Black is the oldest brother in the family, he naturally sits in the middle, and the other brothers who are present are all seated in the proper order.
William Black sat next to Teddy Black, and they were almost equal.
The family members had long since come to terms with this, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
Teddy Black’s eyebrows drew together, always with a straight face, and so it is at this moment. He said gravely, “William Black is back, and I am going to talk about the proposal again.”
He sighed inaudibly, “Papa’s health is very bad. Even if William Black used the most advanced medical equipment, the situation has not improved.”
Black’s fourth son rubbed his hands back and forth on his knees, “After all, Papa is elderly and his body is no better than a young person’s.”
He was telling the truth, and everyone shook their heads silently, worrying about their father’s health.
Teddy Black rolled his eyes and looked at William Black. There was a firm determination in the calmness of his eyes to give it a try, “So we were just discussing and using the old method handed down from ancient times.”
William Black’s long, narrow, cold, deep eyes darkened, “Say.”
Teddy Black sighed, “We want to give Papa the gift of marriage to drive away bad luck, but it is improper for an old man who has been ill for a long time to marry others, so I want you to marry and bring him luck.”
The brothers looked at each other.
Teddy Black looked up at several younger brothers. Some of them were not married, but it was difficult to marry. Some of them had married, but their children were still young.
“Richard Black has reached marriage age, but I hear he already has a girlfriend named Mary Kinson, it seems he does not have much contact, unfortunately…”
He is quite pleased with Mary Kinson’s daughter-in-law, but he must not ask too carefully about the affairs of the younger generation.
The fourth brother leans forward with a nonchalant attitude, “You can get back together if you have just broken up. It’s normal for young men to fall in love and break up. Do you want Richard Black to win back this Mary Kinson and have her married early?”
The temperature in the study suddenly dropped. It is still early autumn, but everyone feels a cold gust of wind.
The fourth brother’s heart throbbed.
The fifth brother nudged him with his elbow, then looked at the fifth and followed the fifth’s eyes to William Black.
They saw William Black turn all the places touched by the eyes to ashes with his long, narrow and deep eyes that looked like a shura from hell.
The fourth brother’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, then realized the reason for the sudden low temperature. He looked at the fifth brother and whispered, “Did I say something wrong?”
William Black said, “Let me dispel the misfortune.”
After he said that, everyone present fell silent.
When they first had this idea of happiness, everyone did not think of letting William Black participate in it.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Because it is somewhat feudal, they think that William Black will directly veto it.
Teddy Black responded first, smiling, “William Black, are you going to get married? That’s a good thing!”
He did not know that William Black’s marriage candidate was the contented daughter-in-law in his heart. William Black gave him a deep look and said bluntly, “Well, this time I came back for this. I would stay here for a while and then discuss the engagement date with my father.”
The melancholy clouds in the hearts of some of the brothers gradually dispersed, and they rejoiced not only in the arrival of this matter, but in the events of William Black’s life.
Teddy Black clapped his hands and laughed, “Has the girl come back with you?”
William Black slumped, “Well, I have already set her up with my oldest sister-in-law.”
Black’s fourth brother is straightforward, “Then why do not you bring her here with you and say hello to everyone?”
The fifth brother nudged him with his elbow, “What are you talking about? If she’s here and we did not prepare the bill, how embarrassing would that be.”
Teddy Black laughed heartily, “Fifth Brother said that we still have to abide by the rules. When the time comes, we will have to give the girl some big money.”
The fourth brother nodded in amusement, “OK, I will.”
The mood in the study suddenly improved and everyone was relieved.
“Alright, let us get going first. William Black will go with me to Papa’s to discuss the day of the engagement.” Teddy Black stood up.
He could not wait for Regan Black to hear about it and be happy.
William Black stood up, in the eldest brother’s sense, and the two brothers went to Teddy Black’s room.
It was late at night, dark clouds hid the moon, and in the darkness there was not a single glimmer of light.
