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.

“I don’t need you to remind me. I’ve promised, and I won’t back out.”

*After the wedding, you’ll be a wife. Edward seemed to know Susan well, so he ignored her barbs.

“Don’t try to persuade me to be nice to Manuel, or even to have a baby. I’ll never do that!” Susan was a

totally prickly person.

Ever since her mother passed away, the bond between Edward and Susan had been fading away.

“Here, this has been in our family for generations.” Edward suddenly took out a box.

Susan was stunned. She never expected that her father would come to her for this, thinking her father

was requested by Justine and came to try to persuade her.

“Your grandma gave it to your mom. When we got divorced, your mom gave it back to me, and I’ve

been keeping it myself since then.” Edward said, “Today, I can finally give it to you.”

Susan’s throat moved slightly.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

She asked, “Can I still be said to be a member of your family?”

Things between them had gone to this point. She believed that her father was desperate to kick her out

of his family.

“You silly girl.” Edward reached out his hand and touched Susan’s hair, “You’re my daughter. Nothing

can change this fact.”

At this moment, those determined words from her father still somewhat touched Susan, though she

didn’t know why. Every time she was touched by Edward, she would tell herself that it was because she

was too kind, not because her father treated her well.

“I’ll help you put it on.” As he spoke, Edward opened the box, took out a piece of precious jewelry and

put it on for Susan. At that moment, Susan didn’t refuse him like she always did.

“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!
