NOVPUBChapter 1205: Chapter 1205: How is the meal not finished, yet the wedding is already booked?_1 Chapter 1205 -1205: How is the meal not finished, yet the wedding is already booked?_1 “I just wish I could see them get married as soon as possible, so I can rest easy and leave this world without any concerns.” Third Old Master Zhekova sniffled.
I’m not sure if Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis would even believe this act anymore.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis are feeling extremely conflicted right now.
...
Looking at Third Old Master Zhekova, it’s clear his age is taking a toll.
Prolonging this would be rather unkind.
But they can’t shake the feeling that Third Old Master Zhekova’s health is not as bad as he portrays it to be.
If they didn’t believe him, it would appear as though they were heartless.
Thinking this way was unacceptable too.
“If I can hang on a little longer, put up a fight, I might even see their child being born.” Third Old Master Zhekova’s eyes welled up with tears.
“If I could try a little harder, perhaps I could spend a few years playing with their child.
My old bones aren’t up to taking care of a child, but I could be a companion to the child.
When the child grows up, they could remember having me as a grandfather, remember what their grandfather looked like, and that would be nice.”
As he spoke, Third Old Master Zhekova started to cry.
“Old Third!” The elder Zhao, with tearful eyes, lightly patted Third Old Master Zhekova’s shoulder.
Turning to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis, Zhao said, “Old Third’s situation is different from ours.
We’ve already held our great-grandchildren in our arms.
We’re content.
Little Morgan will remember us.”
“But Old Third is only just getting a potential daughter-in-law.
We don’t even know where the grandchild is yet.
Thinking of this, I can’t help feeling sad for Old Third.” His voice choking up, the old man lowered his head and covered his eyes.
Mr.
Lewis: “…”
Mrs.
Lewis: “…”
In this light, their efforts to keep Peggy to themselves did seem rather selfish.
Nowadays things aren’t like before.
A married daughter doesn’t become someone else’s property.
Even if Peggy were to get married, she could still visit often, so it wouldn’t really have any impact.
Regardless of whether Third Old Master Zhekova was acting, the fact that he is quite old is undeniable.
If they put themselves in his shoes, they would feel the urgency, too.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis exchanged a glance.
Mrs.
Lewis nodded, and Mr.
Lewis sighed, saying, “Let’s make it in October then.”
“Really?” Third Old Master Zhekova cried in astonishment and joy.
Seeing his reaction, Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis felt they had probably made the right decision.
They couldn’t disappoint the old man, no matter what.
Mrs.
Lewis nodded, saying, “It’s just that the timeline is quite rushed.
We are not hoping for a grand wedding for our only daughter Peggy.
We just want it to be complete without being rushed.”
“Rest assured.
When my son marries Peggy, it won’t be a disappointing affair.
Their wedding will be as grand as if it was planned for a year.”
Third Old Master Zhekova continued, “Truth be told, although my son was single before, I was always preparing for his wedding in secret, fearing that I might not live to see the day.”
“I kept thinking, what if I don’t live to see his wedding?
I want my preparations to be part of his wedding.
And even if I am not physically present, my heartfelt wishes will be.”
“Then I thought, maybe I’ll be lucky and live to see his wedding?
But then I might lack the energy to make all the preparations.”
“So, I’ve been preparing all along.
Even if I am unable to do everything in time, if the wedding is advanced because of me, the children would not have to settle for a rushed wedding.”
“So rest assured, the preparations for the engagement are more extensive than any other family.
I started preparing after my dear wife passed away.”
“My wife’s passing made me realize that I could die at any time, anytime.
All I can do is to minimize the regrets when I leave.” Third Old Master Zhekova said with a smile.
Mrs.
Lewis couldn’t help but shed tears.
She quickly grabbed a tissue from the table to dab her eyes.
Mr. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Lewis too, was secretly wiping his tears.
Now, they didn’t have any objections, nor did they feel manipulated or forced.
All they hoped for was for the Third Old Master Zhekova to be alright.
At this time, Third Old Master Zhekova took another box out of his bag.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis practically developed a PTSD seeing these boxes.
Just seeing the box would mean the addition of another precious jade ring.
Now, there is another box.
Who knows how much more expensive the things inside will be.
When Third Old Master Zhekova opened the box, although Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis felt they were mentally prepared, they were still taken aback, feeling like their preparations were far from sufficient.
Inside the box, was an unmounted diamond.
Mrs.
Lewis doesn’t really know how to judge such a diamond’s quality.
Unless the difference is really huge and noticeable at first glance.
But this one felt very expensive.
And it’s not just because of its size.
Even under the restaurant’s lighting, it could shine just like under the jewelry counter lights.
But when you look at it later, it doesn’t shine as much as it did under the counter light.
But this diamond seemed to Mrs.
Lewis even brighter than what could be seen under the counter light.
And very clean.
“This diamond was something I acquired several years ago.
Back then, I was already thinking about preparing a wedding ring for my son’s wife.” Third Old Master Zhekova said with a smile, “In case I’m not around, at least this ring would be a token of my affection for my future daughter-in-law.
Its material value is not important, what is important was that I prepared it well in advance, took a long time to find such a satisfying diamond.”
“I had it cut into an unmounted diamond because fashion aesthetics keep changing.
If I had the ring made too early, by the time my son gets married, the style would already be outdated.
So I just had the diamond cut.
Now, I can give it to the two children and let them design the style they prefer.”
Such a top-grade diamond isn’t something you can buy anytime you want.
You need to wait for an opportunity.
The fact that Third Old Master Zhekova now has it readily available shows his preparedness.
As Third Old Master Zhekova said, he’s always been preparing, so the wedding isn’t actually rushed.
He’s got everything prepared, but for the ceremony itself.
With this, Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis no longer had any concerns.
“Then let’s pick the soonest auspicious date.” Mr.
Lewis said.
Peggy: “…”
It was supposed to be an engagement dinner today.
But how come the wedding was even decided before the dinner ended?
“Now that even the wedding is arranged, the two of them should get their marriage license sooner,” Mrs.
Lewis took the initiative to suggest.
