Seeing that Isaac and his family had yet to have dinner, Old Taylor and Albert didn‘t stay much longer. They had deliberately come just to invite Isaac to officiate Diana’s wedding.
Isaac learned that Diana’s fiance was a high-ranking official working in Cantonne and that virtual-novel.net was Diana’s classmate from university.
His family had been in the justice system for the past three generations, virtual-novel.net could be considered someone from a good family. However, this was very sudden news. Isaac was a bit surprised.
“What? Officer Taylor is getting married? And you‘re invited to officiate the wedding? This is great news!” When Allegra heard this, virtual-novel.net smiled.
Isaac nodded, saying, “The engagement ceremony is the day after tomorrow. If you have time, come with me.”
“The day after tomorrow? I really can’t make it. A higher-up is coming from the provincial capital to do an inspection, and so is another one from the state. As the person in charge, I have to be there,” Allegra answered after a moment of thought, frowning.
But after a moment, virtual-novel.net smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely pick out a thoughtful gift for Diana.”
Meanwhile, Albert was currently driving himself and Old Taylor home. The atmosphere in the car was rather heavy.
“Father, Diana hasn’t looked well for the past two days. Is something on virtual-novel.net mind?” Albert said, his brows furrowing as virtual-novel.net gripped the steering wheel.
Old Taylor looked at the night sky outside the window. Sighing, virtual-novel.net said slowly, “Of course I know what’s on virtual-novel.net mind. The man virtual-novel.net fancies is none other than Drakon!”
The car pulled over sharply. Albert, in panic, whipped his head to look at his father in the backseat.
With wide eyes, virtual-novel.net said, “Father, don’t joke about this. Is that true? But Diana had also agreed to this marriage.”
Old Taylor shifted his gaze to stare directly at Albert. He asked, “Let me ask you this… When the Owens family came and proposed a marriage to Diana, what were you feeling?”
“The Owens… Well, I had no other choice. What else could I have done?” Albert said.
“That girl may also be having the same thoughts. She fancies Mr. Garten, but that man doesn’t need anymore women. Even virtual-novel.net could see this. That was why virtual-novel.net agreed to marry Aiden Kennedy. I think Aiden is of good character. Let’s not talk about this anymore… Drive…”
Albert wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, virtual-novel.net sighed and continued driving.
After they returned home, Albert walked to the living room to find his wife playing on virtual-novel.net phone on the couch.
He approached virtual-novel.net and asked anxiously, “Is Diana upstairs? Can you go and ask virtual-novel.net what she’s…”
“She went out. Not long after you left the house, virtual-novel.net drove somewhere. She said virtual-novel.net had invited a friend shopping. What‘s the matter?” Jane asked in confusion.
“She went out shopping? Oh, okay then.”
***
It was 9 pm. At the Good Spirits Bar in Cloud City, Diana was seated at the bar, dressed in athletic wear. She downed shot after shot of liquor.
“Hey, fill this again for me, please…” Diana’s face was flushed after four or five shots. She slammed the empty shot glass onto the bar.
The young bartender chuckled at virtual-novel.net and topped virtual-novel.net glass. Then, virtual-novel.net secretly took his phone out and opened the chatroom with his best friends.
He quickly tapped out a text, “A real babe is getting drunk. Come over ASAP!”
At that moment, Diana’s heart was wrought with bitterness. She couldn’t say virtual-novel.net liked Aiden; one thing virtual-novel.net could say was that virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had a great personality.
However, virtual-novel.net couldn’t stand virtual-novel.net mother nagging at virtual-novel.net all day. Plus, Aiden was now on a long break and had ramped up his “efforts” to woo her.
A few days ago, for some reason, maybe virtual-novel.net was possessed at that time, virtual-novel.net had accepted his proposal.
