Harriman’s eyes flickered as he looked at the couple in the middle of the banquet hall. He saw Edwin lowering his head slightly and looking at Caroline with a focused and gentle gaze. Caroline was trying to make the bouquet in her hand more comfortable.
“If you don’t like this look, you can ask them to change to another bouquet,” Edwin suggested.
“No,” Caroline emphasized. “I like this bouquet very much, except for the cumbersome lace design on the top.”
Moreover, this was not a formal banquet. It was just a rehearsal. There was no need to prepare everything so well. After all, these things could not last until tomorrow. After the rehearsal, a new batch of things would have to be changed the next day, so there was no need to waste them.
She did not expect the wedding designer to pull out a bunch of white roses that were tied up in a simple silk bag like magic. “Is this what you want?”
Caroline looked over. “Yes, that’s what I want.”
It was simple, low-kev, and luxurious. Since the bouquet had been woven, it would be a waste not to use it, so she nimbly exchanged two bouquets of flowers, then looked up at Edwin and prepared for the next procedure.
Harriman couldn’t help but smile. He thought that since it was such a happy moment, he shouldn’t spoil the mood of the two young people. So he came to Joline and told her what happened in a low voice.
Joline raised her eyebrows in surprise. “He still hasn’t given up?”
In just a few days, in order to stop Caroline and Edwin’s engagement, many people had done everything they could. As Caroline’s biological father, Balor had contributed a lot.
Now that the day before the engagement was approaching, she did not expect
Balor to not give up and even dare to come to her door. Joline snorted coldly. “Then let’s go and see what other tricks he has up his sleeve.”
In order not to disturb Edwin and Caroline, Joline asked Harriman to stay in the banquet hall to watch the process. She tidied up her clothes and ordered, “Since Mr. Balor is here, then let him in.”
Today, Balor went out nervously. He had originally thought that he would be left in the same place for an entire day and finally be kicked out. In the end, to his surprise, he had only waited for a few minutes before he was invited in.
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, he, who didn’t have much hope at first, suddenly felt a little more hopeful.
It was only after Balor entered the door that he truly saw the Anderson family’s manor.
The first thing that came into view was the three castles connected to a huge building complex in the shape of a ‘concave’. Behind the castles was a vast grassland with one or two buildings emerging from it from time to time.
Not to mention the degree of luxury of the buildings, just the size of the buildings was enough to leave the Old Lambert Residence that Balor had always been proud of in the dust.
‘Why is this rebellious girl so lucky to be able to get into the Anderson family?’ Balor was both envious and jealous as he watched, but due to the Anderson family’s servant leading the way, he could only keep these words in his heart and jabber on and on.
The servant brought Balor to a reception room and respectfully served tea and refreshments. “The Old Madam has been busy with the engagement banquet.
She will be here soon. Please wait for a moment.”
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare. I’m sorry for disturbing you.” Balor received the tea bowl respectfully before he dared to touch the chair with half of his butt.
The well-trained servants arranged the things for the guests and then retreated. A few minutes later, there was movement outside the door.
“Hello, Mr. Balor. I’m sorry. Recently, my family has been busy with the engagement banquet, so it’s a mess everywhere. I hope you can understand if there’s something that I didn’t treat you well.” Joline was wearing a long dress and she entered the guest room with a maid.
Balor jumped up from his chair. “No, no, no. I’m sorry for coming here today.”
Joline raised her hand. “Please sit.” After that, she sat down at the head of the table.
Because of his family’s problems since he was young, Balor did not really like women. Thus, after marriage, even if he relied on his wife to support the family, he did not feel grateful. Instead, he felt very aggrieved to be suppressed by a woman. Thus, after his wife died, he did not feel sad. Instead, he felt much more relaxed..
