Chapter 235 Marriage
Chapter 235 Marriage
Lying on the bed, Michelle looked ahead with empty eyes, as if something had been hollowed out.
After staying in A City for a week, at the urging of Jared, Scott had no choice but to return to C City.
"Dad."
After getting off the plane, Scott went straight to the old house of the Jiang family, because Jared said there was something important.
When he opened the door in front of him, Scott saw the two people sitting on the sofa. He frowned and walked over with heavy steps.
He looked at Jared and greeted.
"Long time no see, Scott." The woman who was sitting next to Jared stood up and greeted Scott in a soft voice. Originally, Scott hadn't noticed her, but now when he looked at her, he was shocked.
Isn't this woman Uncle Mike's daughter, Monica?
Didn't she go abroad? Why did she come back at this time and appear in the old house of the Jiang family. Scott seemed to have guessed something.
"Miss. Monica, long time no see."
He also greeted politely and sat on the sofa on the other side under the guidance of Jared. Monica was sitting opposite him. Scott couldn't help looking at her and found that this woman had indeed changed a lot in the past two years.
In terms of clothes and behavior, she was different from the lady of the Wang family he knew before. How should he describe it? He always felt that her dressing style was very similar to Michelle's.
Jared took a look at the two of them, and then said with a smile, "Scott, I invite Monica here this time mainly to discuss your marriage."
"What?" Hearing the news, Scott jumped up from the sofa in an instant. He stared at his father with disbelief.
Why? Didn't Jared say that he wouldn't control his marriage? He agreed that he could be with Michelle, but why did he do that?
"Dad..."
Scott wanted to say something, but Jared refused to give him any chance. How could Jared not know what his son was thinking? But Michelle had died two years ago. Now, he was 27 years old. If he didn't get married and have children, he would become an old man.
As a father, he had to think about his son's future happiness.
"This matter has been decided, and Monica has no objection to this marriage. I will arrange your engagement party." There was no expression on Jared's face when he said this. He was angry, but angry with Scott.
After saying that, Jared left without looking back.
Scott took a look at Monica, who was also staring at him.
"Miss. Monica, let's have a talk outside." He remembered that Uncle Mike had said this two years ago, but he had refused at that time. But why did he repeat the same mistake now? He really didn't know what his father thought.
With a cold and domineering figure and anger, Scott was about to burn the whole old house of the Jiang family. His fair face darkened three lines in an instant, and the blue veins on his forehead wereText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
faintly burst out, and his fists were chattering.
Monica was indeed a good woman. She was well-educated, graceful, and tall. It was easy to attract people's attention.
Scott knew that he was no longer young. He was 27 years old, and there would be a big turning point in his life. Now, it should be the turning point.
Monica followed him out. Scott didn't want to stay in the room and talk. He didn't want Jared to hear him.
"Miss. Monica, why did you suddenly agree to the marriage? You know I already have someone I love. "
The two of them came to the garden outside the villa, where Scott was standing and said angrily.
After all, Monica was a well-educated woman. Of course, she wouldn't be as unreasonable as Ashley. She knew who was in his heart, but she really couldn't accept the longing for him in the past two years.
Yes, when they first met, Monica didn't like him at all. But when she went abroad, she found that she had already fallen in love with him.
"I'm sorry, Scott."
Now, she could only say this to him, but what he wanted was not her apology at all. He needed an explanation, a reason from her.
"Since it was my father's choice, you can marry him. I won't marry you. Both you and I should know it." When Scott spoke, he turned around, unable to look at Monica's face. Because of her pitiful look, it was easy for him to think of Michelle.
His Michelle was still alive, and she was in A City. She couldn't see now. She needed him.
Monica's charming face turned a little pale when she heard the decisive words of Scott. She raised her head and innocently stared at Scott's handsome face. This man, with sharp eyes shining, was so handsome even when he was angry.
His beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and two tears fell quietly.
"Scott, Michelle was dead. The person you love is no longer in this world. In the past two years, I have been inquiring about you all the time. I know that you must be very painful after losing Michelle. You always think that she is still alive. But death can't get alive. If you continue to be so decadent, your body will collapse. "
"How do you know she is dead? Monica, let me tell you. If you still regard me as a friend, you'd better leave my sight as soon as possible. You'd better explain it clearly, or I will never forgive you all my life. "
With knitted eyebrows, Scott couldn't calm down and roared at Monica. Then he left here with his long legs.
He walked out of the old house of the Jiang family quickly. He was so depressed that he walked as fast as flying. His handsome figure swept the wind and his suit flew gently. He opened the car door, got in quickly and left the old house of the Jiang family.
Sitting in the car, the more Scott thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
At this time, his phone rang. Without looking at the caller, Scott directly answered the phone.
"Scott, did you find Michelle?"
Emily's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. She really wanted to rush to Scott and ask him what had happened.
When she heard that he saw Michelle in A City, she was very excited, but she couldn't get out to see what was going on now.
What's more, A City was neither big nor small. It was very difficult to find someone.
"Yes. I can't explain it clearly. Let's talk about it later. "
Scott didn't like to do two things at the same time. He hung up the phone resolutely and started the car quickly. Finally, he parked the car downstairs of Emily's residence.
When the door was opened, a boy fell asleep in Emily's arms.
With a doting smile, Scott touched the boy's hair and asked, "where is Walter?"
"He went out to buy diapers. He will be back soon." Emily said in a low voice, afraid of disturbing the sleeping baby in her arms. Time flied. In the blink of an eye, the children of Emily and Walter could walk.
But he was still alone. He had always been looking forward to such a warm family. But now, he could only envy them.
Scott sat on the sofa, while Emily went back to her room and put the baby on the bed. After closing the door carefully, she came out. Emily poured him a glass of water and sat on the armchair.
"Scott, have you seen Michelle? How is she now? Is she all right? "
At that time, when Emily heard the news about Michelle, she was so shocked that she couldn't eat for days because she was too excited. At that time, she really wanted to rush to A City to see how Michelle was living now.
But why did her Michelle go to another city?
Hearing this, Scott didn't answer immediately. He reached for the cup on the tea table and drank some water.
Waiting aside, Emily's heart was about to jump out of her chest, but Scott didn't say anything for a long time. Coincidentally, Walter came back from outside. Emily went to take the thing in his hand.
"Why do you come back so late?" Emily complained.
"Oh, I'm stuck in a traffic jam."
"Just go to the supermarket nearby. Why do you run so far?" Emily knew that he had gone to a far place to buy diapers for child. In fact, the brand didn't matter, and the baby's things were generally no different.
But Walter thought that his child should use the best thing. Emily couldn't win him, so she had to let him do it.
The child of Walter and Emily looked more like Emily. His hair and eyes were the same as Walter's, and his face shape and skin were the same as Emily's. In a word, he was a lovely boy.
In the past, Scott didn't like children. But when he saw the children of Emily and Walter, he felt a little restless, so he was the child's godfather now.
The two of them didn't stop loving each other until a while later. However, at this time, Scott's face had already darkened.
It was not until then that Walter realized the person sitting on the sofa. He took Emily's hand and walked to the sofa. Then he asked, "Scott, I heard that you saw Michelle in A City. Is that true?"
For everyone, Michelle had been missing for two years. In the past two years, there had been no news, as if she had died. But now when they heard the news of Michelle, they were undoubtedly the happiest.
But this time, Michelle didn't come back, which disappointed everyone.
"Yes." Scott nodded.
"How is she doing now?" Walter asked anxiously. For him, Michelle was the third most important person besides his wife and children.
Scott sighed, and this sigh contained too many meanings.
Walter and Emily realized that something was wrong, but neither of them wanted to ask more, because they were afraid that they would touch the weakest part of Scott's heart.
