The Innocent Wife of Scheming President

Chapter 503: Cherish the Person Who Sleeps Next to You

Except for the necessary medical expenses directly remitted to the hospital, the old man had stopped all his funding. When Olive saw him, he was sitting in a flower pond on the side of the road and gnawing on cold stuffed bun.

The summer sun was scorching hot and the ground was burning. When did the second generation of Master Geve have such an embarrassing life?

She invited him for a lunch in a nearby restaurant. He no longer pretended to be elegant in front of her and gobbled it up.

After he was full, he then looked up. “Don’t you find me ridiculous like this?”

Olive said, “I’m here neither to laugh at you nor to sympathize you. Everything about now has only yourself to be blamed. You’re an adult and must be the consequences of your fault.”

“So, this is my retribution. I won’t thank you for this meal,” Ellison said coldly.

Olive shrugged and said indifferently, “Never want your thank. You’ve always been someone who doesn’t know how to be grateful.”

“I don’t you’re that kind to treat me. Just tell me if you have anything to say, no need to beat around the bush.” After Ellison ate and drank, he was impatient.

Olive took out a check from her bag and handed it over.

Ellison didn’t understand. “What is the meaning of this?”

Olive easily said, “Nothing. I just can’t bear watching your mother have to take care of a patient, but also secretly tailing you behind your father’s back. Her heart aches seeing you like this.”

Ellison suddenly glanced out of the window and saw a thin figure standing under a tree across the road. He couldn’t help but startled.

Olive continued, “Poor the parents in the world. Although she isn’t your biological mother, she treats you like her own child since you were young. Even if she knows the truth, she still cares about you. The two old people don’t owe you. One hundred thousand isn’t too much for you to spend freely, but it’s enough for you to do a little business and start again. Of course, you can continue to live your happy life these years, but I believe you understand that this little money can only last temporarily. Whether you have short or long term planning, it’s up to you. I only help you this once and no more.”

Ellison seemed to be touched. He took the check and used the money to buy a small flower shop in the middle of downtown area. Because some of the customers were gathered by the previous owner were still there, after he took over the business, it was pretty good.

He said to Olive, “You teach me what it means to be down-to-earth. Although I’m a little tired these days, it was very fulfilling. I’ll use half of the monthly profit to return the one hundred thousand.”

Yet Alan didn’t trust him a bit, standing aside and staring at him suspiciously, but he didn’t say a word.

It was a good thing to be able to change, but if one had evil intention, you couldn’t blame how bad it would ended later.

On the stage, the members of the Youjiang Band were performing, humming the love songs softly.

When white wedding dress appeared at the corner of the stairs, Olive saw the old man turn around and his eyes lit up at that moment.

Dressed up by a makeup artist, Lory seemed to be ten years younger, holding Susan’s hand and walking down the stairs step by step.

“Honey, you’re so beautiful.” Norton was smiling from ear to ear and took his wife’s hand.

In front of so many people, Lory blushed, “We’re an old husband and wife already, but you’re still full of flirt. People will laugh.”

“Who? We’re all so envy.” Chloe sprang up as the emcee and held the microphone with a smile, “Auntie Lory, please look at the big screen.”

As the lights in the hall dimmed, a carefully prepared for more than a month MV appeared in front of everyone.

Beautiful scenes and winding plot. The affectionate narration of Norton personally brought Lory thought back to those unforgettable years.

The past was vivid, as if a movie had gone through the busy road. She beat her husband’s chest and her eyes were sparkling. She rebuked, “Why are you being sentimental?”

The crowd sighed. It was easy to fall in love, but it was hard stay in love. Not anyone could be strong enough to feel love until old. How many husbands and wives looked like ice and matched the spirits, paled into insignificance at this moment.

Norton wiped the tears from the corners of his wife’s eyes and foolishly smiled. “All my life, I’ve never done anything romantic and say anything romantic. When I married you back then, except for a piece of marriage certificate, I didn’t give you anything else. No romantic wedding, no banquet full of friends and relatives, and I can’t even buy you a cheap ring, but you still follow me unhesitatingly. You silently kept taking care of me behind my back, supporting me, encouraging me, and never left me. You can say that, without you, there would be no the Norton Geve today. My greatest happiness in my life is married to such a good wife like you. Thank you, love.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Two fireworks blasted above their heads. The exploded colorful papers fell one by one, sticking to their hairs and clothes, reflecting under the light.

“Kiss, kiss, kiss…” Chloe chanted and soon, the young people followed.

“Kiss, kiss…”

“You brats have such wicked hearts,” Norton grumbled with a smile.

How could Alan let go of this opportunity to tease him? “Old man, you usually have such thick skin, why are you blushing now? So weird.”

Norton really touched his face, causing everyone to laugh.

He was fooled by this man again. Norton realized that and couldn’t help but sullenly said, “Who said my face is red? You brat.”

Few people dared to speak to Alan with such tone. Not anyone could jab at Alan Hoyle’s reputation. The guests were full of awe towards him and they speculated that the two had to be close to have such close conversation.

Before, they guessed it was because the reason of Olive worked in the hotel, so Alan took care of the Geve and might even swallow up the Geve’s business, but it looked like it wasn’t that simple now.

Alan naturally could see their heads were turning from the changes of their expressions. It didn’t matter what the others thought. For him, it was just as simple as putting some things that his wife cared about under his protection.

He continued to tease Norton, “Since it’s not red, what’s there to be shy about with that old face of yours?”

“I’m not shy,” Norton blurted out.

“Since you’re not shy, then do it quick,” Alan said to him.

Olive clapped rhythmically with everyone, “Kiss, kiss, kiss…”

A hole was connected to a hole. Norton suddenly felt that the rest of his life was probably controlled by this kid’s hands.

“Olive, girl, you and your man are accomplices. Wait for your wedding day and see how I’ll repay,” Norton said through his gritted teeth.

These people were obviously taking him as a joke.

But, he was really happy too.

“That’s a later matter. You better finish what’s in front of you first,” Olive said bravely. With her man covering her, she believed him that there would be a way for the two to escape no matter how crowded it was.

Chloe laughed and said, “That’s right. Uncle Norton, don’t try to change the topic. We’re not letting you go. Hurry up, everyone is watching. Don’t twitch around.”

“Fine, fine. It’s not like I never kiss.” Norton braced himself and pecked his wife’s cheek.

“Hey!” There was dissatisfied noises below. Someone shouted, “Again.”

“Yes.” There was no lack of agreeable people here.

Norton had no choice but French-kissed his wife in front of everyone.

At the end of the kiss, Lory’s face was burning that she hid in Norton’s embrace. These young people’s teases were endless.

Norton patted his wife’s back to appease her. He snatched the microphone in Chloe’s hand and cleared his throat. His voice echoed in the hall.

Until the crowd gradually calmed down, he officially said, “We’ve kissed and let the teasing pass. You guys have laughed too. I thank you all for coming and witnessing my 40th wedding anniversary with my wife in your busy schedules. Everyone knows that I’m suffering from cancer. Although my death is just by the door, I still feel very happy. My greatest wealth in my life is to have a gentle and understanding wife like Lory. So, I have something more to say—please cherish the person who sleeps next to you.”

His last words touched a lot of people. Here, there were couples who weren’t loving and harmonious and also men and women who had different dreams in the same bed. There were also lovers who weren’t honest. Everyone has their own thoughts.

Alan quietly hugged Olive, attracting Susan to look in jealousy aside. But it pulled back in a flash, as if it had never happened before.

Norton continued, “In my life, there are two kind of people who I admire. One is a woman who can live a hard life with their man when they are young, and the other is a man who can accompany their woman after he’s successful. I’m not complimenting myself, but it’s the truth. I haven’t done good enough for my wife, so I will live diligently in the days that come, hoping to do more for her. I don’t know if you have the same feelings, feeling owing to your significant other and wanting to pay it back for the rest of your life. If there is, please cherish the time that the two of you have now.”

Silence stretched.

“I may be rambling too much and you may not like to listen. But I have another happy news that I want to share with you all, and at the same time, please witness the return of my daughter,” Norton

beckoned at Susan.

Susan walked over immediately, intimately holding his and Lory’s hand.

Susan looked extraordinary tonight. She had a princess crown on her head, wearing a beautiful dress. It was like a special scenic sight.

The return of the Geve’s daughter was no longer a new news in Luo City. In just a few days, it spread though words of mouth in different circles.

But it was their first time to see the real person today.
