Chapter 229 I Will Try My Best and Take Care of You Forever
“You don’t have to worry about that. Just be a happy bride-to-be.” Harrison certainly wouldn’t tell Susan that she had made it in Manuel’s size at the very beginning. She knew that the person Susan would marry to would absolutely be Manuel in the end.
“Damn bride-to-be!’ Susan was so angry and hung up the phone.
Lying in her bed, ever since she agreed to marry Manuel yesterday, she had been very upset. She never went out of her room. She even wouldn’t get out of bed except to pee. There was a thought of ending her life there in her mind. She thought it would be great if she had turned into a mummy when Manuel found out, so that he would be scared to death.
Suddenly, something crossed her head. Excited, she thought Manuel’s genitals might had been hurt as well since his leg was so badly injured. Thinking of this, she couldn’t tell how she felt. Anyway, in no way would she sleep with Manuel. And it was impossible for her to give birth to his
child.
Susan had stayed in her room that way for six days. Those days could be said to be dark and hopeless for her.
In that period of time, she had actually been wondering whether or not Henry would give her a call or if he would not be able to hold on anymore and just overcome the difficulties with her in the end. She even thought that if Henry did this, she would not hesitate to refuse to marry Manuel.
But Henry didn’t. He even didn’t send a message to her, and he didn’t have any updates on his social media account, either.
She had this kind of feeling that Henry had completely forgotten about her, which made her more and more disappointed and desperate, although she knew that he was doing this for her own good.
Edward was discharged from the hospital on the third day. After that, he went back to the Phillips Manor alone, for he had really divorced
Justine.
Susan had seen their divorce papers and divorce agreement. According to the agreement, Justine didn’t get any money or houses. Susan was not sure whether Edward would secretly give money or something else to Justine. She actually couldn’t stop him if he wanted to. She just wanted to humiliate Justine in this way, so that Justine would hate her more.
In this way, as time went by, maybe Justine would one day try her best to make Manuel divorce her.
After Edward was discharged from the hospital, Susan and Edward rarely talked to each other. It was probably because they hated each other. Susan hated Edward because he abandoned her mother after he met Justine. She would never forgive him for this. The reason why Edward hated Susan was naturally that she made him and Justine break up. Anyway, the gulf between them two yawned wider and wider.
On the fifth night, Susan lay tossing and turning. She couldn’t fall asleep since her wedding day was the next day. She was going to marry Manuel. Desperate, she even thought of running away. But she didn’t have the courage and no one gave her the courage to do that.
Outside her room, there was suddenly a knock at the door. She was unwilling to open the door. No matter who it was, she just didn’t want to meet anyone. The last thing she wanted was hearing words of persuasion from anyone.
Others knew little about how upset she was. How could they say something like it was all for her good? She knew very well what was best for herself.
“Susan, it’s dad.” Edward’s voice came from outside the door.
Susan hesitated for a moment.
“I just have a few words to say.” Obviously, Edward knew that Susan was not asleep.
Susan was a little impatient, but she still opened the door and looked at his eyes.
“You’re getting married tomorrow.” Edward spoke.
“Our ancestors will bless you in heaven,” Edward said.
Susan didn’t respond. But she accepted her father’s kindness.
“Go to bed early. You’ll have a tiring day tomorrow.” Edward was not going to say anything else..
He clearly knew that he couldn’t jump the gun when it came to deal with Susan. What Harrison said was right-The conflict between Susan and him was caused by a lack of communication and a lack of a sense of security. Susan was not a bad person. And as long as he treated her with all his heart, she would change.
In fact, Edward did owe a lot to Susan. No matter why he divorced her mom back then, when her mom was sick, he did fail to take good care of her, which finally led to the alienation of their affection. Hence he wanted to devote more time and energy to the care of Susan while Justine was away from him.
Susan watched Edward go away and she suddenly found that some of his hair seemed to have turned gray. She had always felt that he would always be strong and powerful. But he easily collapsed a few days ago. Now, all of a sudden, his hair really turned gray.
Susan closed the door and lay down on the bed again, unconsciously touching the cold precious stone around her neck. She couldn’t believe that. she had accepted a gift from her father just like that. She had thought of breaking with her dad. After she got married and left here, she could be said to have broken with her father.
It never occurred to her that her father would take the initiative to send her a gift. She didn’t know why, but she was frustrated!
She picked up her phone from the nightstand and forced herself not to think more about it, planning to distract herself with something else.
The moment she turned on her phone, she saw a new message that was from Manuel. She clicked on it just to delete it. But she happened to see the content of the message.
‘I’ll try my best and take care of you for the rest of my life.”
Susan deleted it at once. Without any hesitation. She was even a little anxious to do it. It seemed as if she had seen the words that she found most unacceptable!
