Chapter 78
Teddy Black looked at William Black with his head down, “Is your fiancée from Kinson who has had an engagement before?”
William Black nodded.
Teddy Black smiled, “When the woman reached marriageable age two years ago, you did not promise to get engaged. I thought you did not like the woman. I did not expect you to keep the engagement in the end.”
He is very emotional, “It is rare that you compromise once.”
According to his impression, William Black was an unusual person from childhood. His character was overbearing and stubborn, as if no one in the world could control him.
The word compromise never appears in William Black’s life lexicon.
William Black’s deep eyes are rich and evoke a smile at the corners of his mouth, “It’s not compromise.”
Teddy Black raised his eyebrows curiously, “Oh?”
Before Teddy Black could ask why, they had already arrived in Teddy Black’s room.
Regan Black was leaning against his bed and the servant was handing him some soup.
Teddy Black walked forward, took the soup from the servant’s hand and gave it to Teddy Black himself. “Papa, William Black is back.”
Although his father is sick in bed, he is spry and can still see his heroic attitude from his youth.
Drinking the soup without losing elegance, he drank it down little by little.
After drinking, Regan Black raised his eyes, looked deeply at William Black, nodded slowly, and spoke clearly, “Sit down.”
William Black collected the sharp aura of his entire body, which was as gentle as if he had changed.
Teddy Black helped Regan Blackpinch pull the covers closed and smiled gently, “William Black will be staying at home for a while when he comes back this time.”
Though he is in failing health, his head is clear and he suddenly understands what he is trying to say.
The wrinkles in the corners of his eyes expand and he laughs in a clear voice, “Did William Black bring people back?”
It seems like Papa’s head is clear and Teddy Black nods with satisfaction, “Well, I came with William Black to ask you when the right time is for the engagement party.”
“What do you think?”
Teddy Black sipped his lower lip and looked stern, “Our brothers also want to use this joyous occasion to make you happy, so we want to do it as soon as possible.”
Regan Black looked at William Black with trembling eyes, “What does William Black mean?”
William Black nodded, “As soon as possible.”
Regan Black nodded, “Well, Teddy Black is the oldest brother, you should help with the arrangements.”
“I will.”
The next day Teddy Black began instructing servants at home to prepare for the engagement banquet and also to book a banquet at the largest hotel to entertain relatives and friends.
Several other brothers also helped with the preparations, leaving William Black himself with essentially little to worry about.
William Black returned to the yard, rested all morning, and knocked on Mary Kinson’s door.
Mary Kinson’s hair is still disheveled, she no longer looks as cool as before, but rather interested. William Black’s cold eyebrow tip reassured him a lot.
He held her hand, “Let us go to the parents and see Regan Black first.”
Mary Kinson slapped his wrist randomly, “Eh! Hey… do not pull me, I need to go back to my room to freshen up, my hair is so messed up, it’s rude to see your parents like this!”
William Black really let go.
The first time she saw William Black cooperate like this, Mary Kinson felt a little uncomfortable.
Today’s William Black is dressed casually, which is no colder or more solemn than when he wears a suit and tie. Now he has a little more fireworks atmosphere, and his handsome face is inexplicably soft.
“Go clean up, I’ll be waiting for you.”
His voice is like sake in the hot sun. It tastes soft with clear coldness, and it is very relieving to listen to.
Mary Kinson is suddenly in a trance, unable to tell if the person before her is William Black or Richard Black – a gentle teenager in past life memories.
She has not been out of the room today because she has not thought about how to act when she meets Richard Black.
Even though she has experienced past lives, she deeply hates Richard Black.
But… But…
For a long time, she sorted out her chaotic feelings and went back to her room to take care of herself again.
When she reappeared in front of William Black, she lifted her lips and smiled brightly, “OK, let us go.”
William Black turned to the side and raised his arm slightly.
Mary Kinson reached out her left hand and gently placed it on his wrist. As if to attend a particularly important occasion, she walked towards the Eastern Yard.
…
He rose early and leaned against the bed to wait for her.
Mary Kinson was just coming in; she saw Teddy Black’s face. Though old, he had a keen eye and his manners were still full of gentlemanly feeling.
In the past life Regan Black had cared for her very much, and they also saw the carp in the pond together.
But counting the time, he would soon die.
Mary Kinson’s heart is sour, and she still swears she will die. Even though she knows it, she can not change it.
The only thing she can do is to do her best to make him happy in a limited time.
William Black asked her to stand beside the bed so Regan Black could take a good look at it, “Papa, this is my betrothal object, Mary Kinson.”
Teddy Black’s gaze fell softly to Mary Kinson’s face and his lips lifted slightly, “She looks like Susan.”
The engagement of William Black to Kinson was made by Regan Black herself. Now the engagement must be fulfilled, and he was naturally glad of it.
Mary Kinson let go of William Black’s hand and sat close to the bed, especially close to Reagan Black, “Do you know my mother?”
William Black’s eyebrow rose slightly, and a smile flashed in the black eyes.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
