Perhaps only when ntioning his mother does Justin Battleson’s gaze reveal a touch of different emotion.
"There’s nothing seriously wrong with your health, but take this ti to rest well in the hospital. It will take quite a long ti for the wound to fully heal."
Justin Battleson glanced at Oliver Battleson’s face, watching the hope in his eyes fade away little by little because of his words.
"This ti, you don’t need to go to great lengths for mother’s death anniversary."
"I..."
Hearing this, Oliver Battleson seed to want to retort, but Justin had already turned away.
"Moreover, mom never really liked irises, she chose them every ti because that was the first bouquet you ever gave her."
Having said that, Justin imdiately turned and left the hospital room, and Charlotte’s last glance back caught the tear sliding down Oliver Battleson’s face.
After leaving the hospital room with Justin, Charlotte quietly stayed by his side.
"Charlotte."
When Justin spoke, Charlotte could clearly feel his hand trembling slightly as he held hers.
"It’s all over."
Charlotte nodded: "Yes, everything is indeed over."
Then, Charlotte tiptoed up to kiss his lips willingly.
"Justin."
Charlotte hooked her hand around Justin’s palm, stood smiling brightly in front of him.
"I’ve checked, the fourteenth of next month is a good day, why don’t we set our wedding for that day?"
Justin looked at Charlotte, his eyes gently trembling, and finally, his taut lips broke into an unprecedented smile.
His fingertips brushed through Charlotte’s soft long hair, drawing closer to her.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you."
...
Although Oliver Battleson’s injury had not fully healed, he had already called the dia to publicly clarify all the rumors about Justin Battleson’s background.
Control of the Battleson Group had returned to Justin Battleson’s hands.
As for Leon Battleson, the matters from the basent had not been exposed.
Leon Battleson’s sudden disappearance indeed sparked so discussion, but since Oliver Battleson, the original head of Battleson Group, had already stepped forward, few people cared about other things.
Moreover, Justin and Charlotte had set their wedding date, which attracted more attention from the dia.
Soon, as the wedding approached, Justin and Charlotte almost imdiately dominated the headlines of major news outlets.
Even though they had announced the date of the wedding, Charlotte didn’t really enjoy being under scrutiny like that.
So this ti, they didn’t invite the dia to broadcast their wedding; despite its grandeur, only Justin and Charlotte’s friends and family were invited.
So issues finally arose on the wedding day.
The imbalance between Justin’s and Charlotte’s relatives’ ratio.
On Justin’s side, apart from Jasmine, Oliver Battleson, now recovered, naturally attended by invitation.
Whereas looking at Charlotte, she alone had a total of seven brothers, not to ntion her uncles who flew in from various places just to attend her wedding.
Such a large group of n gathered together, even just standing there, gave off an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Not to ntion a few of them wore sullen expressions, making those unaware think they weren’t attending a wedding at all.
