Chapter 206: On the eve of the wedding
“Son, I want to go to America with you.” Albert’s dad said again when he saw that his son refused to compromise.
Hearing his dad’s words, Albert was stunned for a moment. In a way, this could be a turnaround, but if even he left, his grandmother would really be left alone, would she be able to bear the blow?
After a long time, Albert came back to his senses and turned his back, “Go away, I won’t let you find my mother again.”
“Albert, dad is already over fifty years old, for the rest of his life, are you going to let dad be like your grandmother, lonely until old age?” Albert’s father said in an almost pleading tone.
“And have you ever thought about what she’s going to do when you’re gone? Go back, my mom is doing well now, happier than ever with her grandchildren by her side.” Albert’s heart is very painful, breaking off the relationship words are not good to say, but after all, it is the blood and bones are connected, what is more, when he was small, it is the old lady that looked after him more, although those memories are hurtful, but after all, there are feelings.
“You are unable to let go of your grandmother?” Albert’s father froze for a long time before he understood.
“She deserved to die alone. Merry and I went to see her and she kicked us out, but you’re different, you’re her son, she’s old and needs someone to be with her, can’t you go back and let my mom have a happy life?” Albert didn’t want to admit it, yet he had to.
“I’m just going to America to see your mother, I’ll come back after I’ve seen her, and I’ll definitely ask your grandmother to accept your mother.” Albert’s father said gloomily.
“Albert-” Merry was pulling his arm aside.
“I’m tired and want to go rest.” Albert glared at Merry, he was well aware of his mother’s love for his father, if she knew he was divorced and knew he wanted to marry her again, she would come back.
He wasn’t against them being together, he just didn’t want to watch Mom get bullied by the old lady.
“Albert, in these ten years apart, I miss you, alive though, but without Bruce by my side, I wouldn’t have lasted today, there’s nothing wrong with loving each other–” Merry looked at Albert with begging eyes and said.
“You do not understand, Grandma she-” Albert looked at Merry, he did not want his mother not to feel the love happiness, but with the old lady, that happiness, happiness will only be based on pain.
“Why not let Mom choose for herself.” Merry said again.
She hadn’t spent much time with her mother-in-law, but they were equally women, and if it were her, even in that situation, she would choose to be by her lover’s side, and perhaps her mother-in-law would be the same.
“You women, I’m going to my room to rest.” Albert sighed and left Merry to go upstairs by herself.
Watching Albert go upstairs, Merry smiled as she wrote down her address in America and gave it to her father-in-law, trusting that her mother-in-law would have the best choice.
“Thank you, you are a good girl, Albert to know you, it’s really good.” Albert’s father looked at Merry and said from the bottom of his heart.
“Uncle, knowing Albert is the luckiest thing in my life, I’m really happy and blessed to be with him.” Merry said with some embarrassment.
“Take good care of him for me, I haven’t done my duty as a father properly since I was little, I owe my son too much as a father.” Albert’s father choked up and said.
“I will, you take care too.” Merry could not shout out Dad, and felt awkward to call him uncle, so she simply did not call him anything.
Albert and Merry decided to go back to the United States early, one to speak to the Carlisle family about the wedding, and two, Albert was worried about his mom being talked into it, while Fred and Elena went to Italy first, where most of the wedding dress Elena made was still sitting.
But they had already discussed how the wedding would take place. It was decided to have the wedding at sea in Greece and invite only family and friends.
On Elena’s side, both families will be there, but not so early, because Elena and the others have to take wedding photos.
When Albert and his family returned to the United States, Albert’s father was still there and living in the house, but on the couch. The new house was not yet finished, and Merry’s house had limited rooms, so besides Albert and Merry sleeping in the main bedroom, he had to sleep on the couch.
This person, sometimes is also strange, in fact, there is a hotel next to him, so he did not go, rather than nestled in the small apartment to sleep on the sofa, even if the sleep caused back pain, but he do not want to leave.
“Mom, you didn’t let him talk you into being soft again, did you?” As soon as he came back, Albert saw his dad sitting at the dinner table and asked his mom bluntly, not giving him any face at all.
“Albert, your dad is not wrong, it’s just that some things are destined to happen. Your dad and I are not destined to be a couple, and there are times when people want to resign themselves to fate.” Jane sighed as she looked at the man she had loved for over thirty years.
Love? She loved this man, and a love is more than thirty years, but this thirty years, that love really must be in the life slowly worn out. Now living with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, she feels so happy.
No longer alone with an empty house, at night, no longer thinking about him sleeping with another woman. Now she is at peace.
When she first heard of his divorce, her heart did have a little surprise, but then the surprise returned to calm.
The people are old, she does not want to toss and turn, now, she just want this calm and happy life.
“Mom, have you already decided?” Albert saw his mother’s heart like water eyes, he knows that he no longer needed to worry, he knows that his mother has already thought about it, although this man is very poor, but feelings past is past, even if this man is his dad, he can not help anything.
“Now this is good, every morning with helping Bruce to school, in the morning she can also go to the language center to learn a foreign language, in the afternoon go back to see my son, and grandchild, she can cook a dinner for the family, such a day, very full, very calm; I like it very much.” Jane nodded her head and said with a happy look on her face.
“Then I’ll move to America and live with you.” Albert’s father retreated again and again and said.
The life his ex-wife said, he also felt very happy, happy and yearned for, but ……
“Mr. Jordan, you should stop daydreaming, pack up and go back, your mother is old and needs someone around.” Albert said nonchalantly.
“Grandpa, my dad is right, go back, but you are always welcome to come back, I’m sure dad will leave a room for you.” Bruce looked at his disoriented grandfather and came over to him and whispered in his ear.
“Is that okay, son?” Albert’s dad turned to Albert, his voice choked with sobs.
Albert sighed and said, “You’re my dad, can I say I’m kicking you out.”
He was glad that he was not as brainy as his dad, and that his son had not inherited his dullness from generation to generation, although his mom had chosen to stay in the United States, she still had his dad in her heart, so he, as a son, could not possibly do so much.
After the wedding date was finalized, Albert and Merry rushed to Italy to rendezvous with Fred, of course, the main thing is to take wedding photos, the wedding decorations are all left to the groomsmen.
They went from Italy, Paris, France, just taking wedding photos for 20 days, until a few days before the wedding they went to Greece.
Elena’s father and mother arrived early in the morning, even the grandparents came, only the mayor’s father couldn’t because of work reasons, until the wedding day to come.
Although the wedding venue is set in the Aegean Sea, the island of Xanadu Yuni, because it is an open island, there are other tourists on the island, so after the wedding is completed, everyone will move to the cruise ship to see the Aegean Sea under the sunset, and enjoy the romantic sea feast.
On the first day of the wedding, according to custom, the two brides and grooms were separated and not allowed to see each other, with the bride-to-be’s on the yacht.
Elena and Merry sat on the deck, looking at the Aegean Sea, their hearts as sweet as honey.
“Elena, you were so bold at first, Fred was like that, you were willing to marry, did you ever think that maybe he was a bum?” Merry looked at the Aegean Sea under the sun, the crystal clear color, clear with brilliant gold, really beautiful.
I heard that the Aegean Sea is the most beautiful in this season. Especially when it comes to sunset, it is said that the seawater will turn into a kind of vivid purple color, like a wine in a glass, which makes people feel happy.
Elena laughed mischievously, “I was so mad at my mom that I didn’t even think about it, but it turns out my vision wouldn’t be faulty, and Fred wasn’t a bum.”
“Yeah, you picked up a treasure, and of course, so did I. Ten years ago, I never thought that my wedding would be held in such a beautiful place.” Merry shook the wine in her glass and said sweetly.
Although the wedding was just a formality, for a woman, it was a lifelong event, and now, with this wedding, she would never have any regrets in her life.
“My wish has also come true. When I first came into contact with fashion design, I thought that one day, I would wear a wedding dress of my own design and marry the man I love most in this life.” Elena blushed slightly and said.
For this wedding, she designed a total of ten sets of wedding dresses to be worn at different times. Of course, she and Merry had five sets each, two of which were Western style, two Chinese style, and one set that incorporated the traditional culture of the East and the West, which they both liked very much.
“I feel like I’m dreaming, I didn’t expect it, in my life, I can still know such a good man, I didn’t expect I can be so happy.” Merry’s eyes glittered with tears, she was an orphan, in the past, she never dared to ask for such a luxury, but now, all of this has come true, it is no longer a dream.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Everyone has the right to be happy, every girl has the right to pursue her dreams, and what I want most now is to have another daughter, then I will never have any regrets in my life.” Elena’s eyes moved to the three boys playing together on the other side.
Although the son was naughty, but he and Bruce were very close. The three of them knew each other at first sight, and when they played together, there were no adults in their eyes at all.
“Yes, every woman has a beautiful dream in her heart, and as long as we persist, as long as we work hard, this dream will definitely become a reality.” Merry nodded her head and lamented.
