Chapter 1209 The Best for You
“Not at all. I have been looking forward to getting married to her for many years,” Benedict firmly said.
Benedict looked at Arthur and Jean and seriously promised, “After the marriage, she could devote herself to medicine and do everything she likes. I can deal with our families’ business so that nothing would bother her. I will try my best to give her the best.”
“Benedict, you…” Surprised by these sincere words, Bella looked at him in disbelief and didn’t say anything since she thought he did as planned.
Arthur almost changed his mind and thought these words made sense. Jean’s and his businesses needed to be taken over. Bella could succeed them, but he hoped Bella could do what she liked.
When Jean was young, she didn’t like jewelry design at all, but eventually when her parents got old, she had to come home and take over the business and give up psychology.
Arthur didn’t want his daughter to experience the same thing and they would be much assured if their daughter’s husband, a reliable man, managed their companies.
Many men got married for their wives’ property, and some even left their wives as soon as they got it. They worried that when they were old, their daughter who only concentrated on medicine would be cheated on by other men.
They didn’t have to worry about it if Bella married Benedict.
Arthur trusted Benedict because he, a boy from a wealthy family, would not covet others’ assets. Also, Benedict now had become an independent, excellent, and strong man who could achieve a lot without his parents’ help.
Besides, Benedict could manage their companies and Donavan could take over Ezra’s companies.
Deep in thought, Arthur was on the verge of changing his mind.
Ezra coughed and teased his son. “Son, you said you would help handle their family business. In fact, your real purpose is to marry into their family, huh?”
The joke abated the tense atmosphere. Ezra aimed to test his son in this way.
Benedict immediately noticed his father’s intention and said, “As long as I can get married to her, I can do anything. I am not afraid of gossip or difficulties.”
Although Benedict was still studying, he had started a software company with his classmates and it ran well.
Without his father’s support, Benedict could give his beloved woman the best.
Instead of seeking any profits, he was willing to help her manage the company, so that she could concentrate on medicine.
Benedict gave a satisfactory answer. Jean said first, “Since you two love each other and want to get married, we support you.”
Both sides were not afraid of the worst-senora.
“But…” Though Arthur disagreed, he could do nothing since his wife nodded and he believed his daughter, decisive and brave like her mother, would not suffer in this marriage.
Ezra and Maisie naturally beamed with pleasure.
Maisie couldn’t be happier since she could achieve her wish to have a considerate daughter-in-law.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Besides, Maisie knew Bella was a good girl from her best friend’s family and she could imagine how joyful to be relatives with Jean by marriage.
Maisie added, “We should be planning a wedding?”
“No, we want to hold the wedding in the future.” Bella hurriedly stopped and as a college student, she didn’t want to make her marriage public or attract people’s attention.
Noticing Bella’s nervous expression, Benedict realized she didn’t like him and refused to make their relationship public but he could not wait any more seconds to declare their marriage.
He had loved her for many years.
Just now, all his words were true.
He had no idea that tonight she would suddenly propose marriage to him.
But the so-called marriage of convenience deeply dented his love for her. Thus, he solemnly forced her to get married to him at that time.
He turned crazy because she came to him not because she loved him, but because she wanted to find a trouble-shooter.
He still agreed since he could get her forever after they got married tomorrow.
Actually, he wanted to get married to her tonight so that she could belong to him forever. He himself had no idea why he was so crazy.
Jean agreed with her daughter and stared at her. “No wedding now. Bella is still a college student and should concentrate on study.”
Jean understood her daughter.
She prepared to have a talk with her daughter who didn’t refuse the marriage but appeared to be passive in her relationship.
As a senior psychiatrist, Jean noticed Benedict liked her daughter but she got a bit confused about their affection.
