Her words were deliberately spoken for Vincent Vance and May Morgan to hear inside, and sure enough, when the two heard Maxwell Vance was pregnant, they exchanged a glance without prior agreent.
May was the first to react, reaching out to push Vincent lightly, signaling him to get out of bed quickly: ’Your sister is pregnant, you’d better not argue with them anymore.’
Vincent was surprised by May’s magnanimity; originally, he thought that when May heard Maxwell was pregnant with Adam’s child, she would surely be sad and lancholy, but she turned out to be so calm?
"Don’t you care?" Vincent looked at May’s face in confusion and asked.
May was particularly composed: "I’ve long been over Adam, why should I care? Besides, I’m also pregnant now, and knowing how anxious won feel when pregnant, it’s most important to ensure your sister and her baby have a good future while Adam agrees."
Vincent felt that May seed to have changed a lot; since her pregnancy, her thoughts had beco much more mature and sensible than before.
This kind of girl, he really liked.
"I’ll take good care of you when I get back!" Vincent contentedly kissed May’s forehead gently, then reluctantly turned to open the door.
Just as he opened the door, May heard Audrey Vance’s extrely unfriendly voice: ’Vincent, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but you’re almost alienated by the woman inside this house.’
Vincent, upon hearing this, smiled good-naturedly and deliberately said to Audrey: ’Aunt, the woman inside the house is my lawfully wedded wife. What’s wrong with a husband being infatuated with his wife?’
"This..." Vincent’s words directly silenced Audrey Vance’s complaints.
Maxwell only worried about her own marriage, afraid that her brother would quarrel with her aunt again. She hurriedly grabbed Audrey Vance’s arm, pleading with her: ’Aunt, don’t argue with my brother, let’s go discuss my marriage with Adam first.’
At this point, Audrey really had no way to handle Vincent; he could even disregard the old master’s words, let alone hers. Today, he showed Audrey face only out of so remaining family affection.
The discussion about Maxwell’s marriage took about an hour. May, feeling bored waiting in the room, covered herself with a quilt and took a nap.
When she woke up, she looked behind her and noticed Vincent hadn’t returned yet. Feeling uncomfortable lying in bed all the ti, she simply got up intending to peek quietly to see if Audrey Vance and Maxwell had left.
As it happened, she only opened the door to hear Vincent having a hushed conversation with Jacob Jennings at the staircase.
"Maxwell’s wedding is set for five days later; it’s a bit rushed!" Vincent said irritably to Jacob Jennings: "The wedding was decided by Aunt and the old master together, saying it was inconvenient if Maxwell’s belly got bigger, but I always felt it was a sche by the old master."
Jacob, though also surprised by the wedding date, felt more reassurance.
Because as Maxwell’s brother, Vincent would absolutely not ignore Maxwell’s affairs within these five days and go to Crestwood again.
As long as he didn’t go to Crestwood, Jacob could rest easy.
"Since the wedding is set, it has to be this way; as Maxwell’s big brother, it seems you won’t be able to go to Crestwood these days." Jacob deliberately said to Vincent.
Vincent sighed helplessly, his tone carrying a tinge of concession: ’What else can I do? After all, I am Maxwell’s big brother, and she’s my only sister. If she gets married and I don’t show up, it would be unfair to my deceased parents.’
Hearing Vincent’s words, Jacob felt much more at ease: ’So let it be for now; Miss Maxwell was soone I watched grow up. If her wedding needs anything, I will definitely do my best to help.’
Vincent placed his hand on Jacob Jennings’s shoulder, giving him a aningful reminder: ’There’s nothing you need to do, your only task is to protect May, and make sure she doesn’t get hurt by anyone, got it?’
"Understood!" Jacob nodded repeatedly, agreeing to it.
Just as Vincent turned around, he saw May standing at the doorway, staring at them in a daze. He quickly exchanged a glance with Jacob and then walked over to May with a smile.
"Why did you co out? Go back quickly; didn’t the doctor say not to move around carelessly?"
Vincent hastily grasped May’s arm, intending to take her back.
May, still thinking about Vincent going to Crestwood, looked up at Vincent’s face and asked: ’Why are you going to Crestwood again? Isn’t Jacob’s situation resolved yet?’
Vincent still didn’t want her to know too much, so he lied casually: ’Isn’t it still about your sister? Although she’s disfigured, she still has to pay with her life. I promised you to avenge your grandmother, so I plan to send her back to Director Lawson during these days.’
ntioning lanie, May suddenly felt like visiting her in the hospital: "My sister should have had her stitches removed by now, shouldn’t I go see her?"
Vincent hesitated to tell May: ’Better not to go; she’s disfigured now. What if you get scared seeing her?’
lanie’s stitches were actually removed yesterday, but the scars all over her face were horrifyingly ugly. Unable to accept her sudden change in appearance, the hospital was still filled with lanie’s heart-wrenching screams.
It was said that lody White embraced the devastated lanie, crying day and night until her voice turned hoarse, and she too ended up hospitalized and was still bedridden, unable to get up.
Vincent feared lanie would have a revengeful mindset upon seeing May and might unintentionally harm her, so he didn’t plan to take her along.
May thought it over and agreed not to go. She had already taught lanie a lesson; lanie had received the punishnt she deserved. If she went to kick her while she was down, how would she be any different from lanie?
"Then forget it, I won’t go see her. But once her wounds heal, you must send her back to Crestwood for trial. We shouldn’t spare her this ti no matter what."
"That’s for sure; I won’t let her go even if you don’t say it." Vincent kissed May on the face and smiled as he promised.
In the following five days, Vincent seed quite busy because as Maxwell’s wedding approached, he naturally had to help take care of things as her big brother.
May had Adam’s WeChat number, and their previous circles were still there, so when Adam posted the wedding photos with Maxwell, many classmates left comnts.
Originally, May had already let go of the matter of Adam, but upon seeing those comnts, her nose suddenly felt sore.
