Chapter 793: They Are So Sweet

The next day, Sophia did not come to The Blackwood Manor to meet Colin's girlfriend.

If she had come, the three kids and Gabriel would have come too.

Maybe even Ruth would have come.

Edith would definitely be nervous when seeing so many people.

The Blackwood Family valued this meeting greatly. Early in the morning, Jennifer was directing the servants, and Celeste was busy choosing jewelry and preparing gifts.

Edith was very nervous and kept talking to Colin on the way.

"What's your dad's name?" Edith asked.

Colin said, "David."

He was the chairman of the Blackwood Group.

Edith asked again, "What about your mom?"

"Jennifer."

"And your grandmother?"

Colin was silent.

Colin held the steering wheel with one hand and squeezed Edith's hand with the other.

"Don't be nervous. My grandmother and parents are very easy to get along with. They will definitely like you."

"I, I..."

She had been divorced. 'Will his family really be willing to accept me?' Edith was worried.

Colin withdrew his hand and continued to control the steering wheel.

Edith fell silent, looking at the road ahead, and suddenly thought of something.

"Your mom is Jennifer?"

"Yes."

"The head of Destiny Investment Bank!"

Colin's lips curved slightly, "Destiny Investment Bank is under my mom's name, but actually, my dad and I are in charge."

Edith fell completely silent.

After a long time, Colin stopped at a red light and turned to look at her.

"What's wrong?"

Edith murmured softly, "Why did you help me back then?"

Colin said, "I wanted you to become single again as soon as possible."

Edith's nose tingled, and her throat was choked with something. She looked at Colin with tears in her eyes.

Colin reached out and rubbed her head, reminding her, "After the next intersection, it's 2 miles to go."

Edith's tears were instantly held back.

She said firmly, "Colin, let's get married after meeting your parents."

Meeting the parents went smoothly, and Edith received full attention from the Blackwood Family.

Jennifer recognized Edith at a glance as the main character in the previous high-profile marriage scam incident.

Jennifer was puzzled but still warmly welcomed Edith and gave her a gift.

The warm atmosphere of the Blackwood Family reminded Edith of her own family.

Before Dax's accident, their family of three was also very happy.

Edith had a meal at the Blackwood Manor, and in the afternoon, Colin sent her off.

In the evening, when Colin returned, the three family members were waiting for him in the living room.

Colin slowly changed his shoes at the entrance.

Ruth looked stern, David was serious, and Jennifer frowned deeply.

Their expressions were very subtle.

Colin sat down on a single sofa and took the initiative to explain.

"Edith is my ex-girlfriend."

Hearing this answer, the expressions of the three people visibly relaxed.

"She didn't know about my family background at that time. Her family had an accident, and her parents forced her into an arranged marriage." Colin explained the twists and turns in simple terms.

Finally, he explained Edith's relationship with the Murphy Family and why Edith couldn't divorce Jasper earlier.

Celeste sighed, "This child has had a hard life. You should treat her well in the future."

Jennifer asked, "When do you plan to get married?"

David replied, "She is quite outstanding. Just make sure you think it through carefully."

That night, after Edith returned home, she told Una about it.

Una was stunned. "You..."

She thought that after Edith's experience with the Murphy Family, she would lose her desire for marriage and remain single and childless.

She didn't expect Edith to talk about getting married so soon.

'Could it be that Edith had someone she liked for a long time?' Una wondered.

"It's my ex-boyfriend, the boy from Country M."

Una remembered that when they initially arranged Edith's marriage, Edith had mentioned she had a boyfriend.

'Has he returned to the country?' Una thought.

"Have you thought it through?" Una asked solemnly.

Edith had grown up and had her own opinions. As long as she didn't encounter someone like the Murphy Family, Una wouldn't oppose Edith's marriage.

"Yes, I've thought it through," Edith answered seriously.

Una replied, "Then you arrange it. I'll meet him tomorrow."

Edith leaned on Una's shoulder and softly agreed.

Una didn't ask much about her boyfriend's personal conditions. She thought, at the very least, he should be on par with Edith in terms of ability, and their family backgrounds should be similar.

Even if his family background was a bit weaker, it didn't matter as long as he had good character and treated Edith well.

The next day, Una dressed up and went to the restaurant with Edith.

It was originally planned for Colin to meet Una alone, but when they arrived at the restaurant and opened the private room door, seeing Celeste, David, and Jennifer sitting inside, Edith was stunned.

'What is going on?' Edith wondered.

Colin gave her a helpless smile.

Edith quickly understood and swiftly took Una's hand and walked in.

Una had been following some business trends in recent years. Even if she didn't recognize David, she recognized Jennifer.

She even had a dress designed by Jennifer in her wardrobe, a gift Dax brought back from Country M when the Astor Group was doing well.

Una then realized that Edith's boyfriend had a powerful background.

Their family was marrying up!

Una had seen big scenes before, so she wasn't intimidated by the powerful Blackwood Family.

What was supposed to be just a meeting ended up with Una discussing Colin and Edith's marriage with the three elders of the Blackwood Family.

Una asked, "Bride price? No need for a bride price, just set a date."

Jennifer replied, "You don't need to prepare a bride price either. It doesn't matter if you have it or not. After they get married, Colin's assets will be Edith's."

Everything progressed quickly. On Monday, Colin and Edith went to the city hall early to queue.

At ten o'clock, Colin and Edith came out with their marriage registration.

Colin, wearing glasses, looked refined and handsome, while Edith, with her ponytail, looked fresh and capable.

They smiled sweetly.

For their honeymoon, Caroline and Nicholas visited three countries.

Finally, they arrived in Country Y.

Paul personally came to the airport to pick them up.

He hugged Nicholas as soon as he saw him. "Nicholas, I missed you so much."

Nicholas pushed him away and gave him a faint look. "You haven't lost any weight."

Paul touched his cheek. "I have, I've lost quite a bit."

Nicholas couldn't be bothered with him and directly opened the car door for Caroline to get in.

They sat in the back seat while Paul drove.

"I've planned your honeymoon itinerary in Country Y. Today, you'll check into a luxury couple's room, soak in a couple's hot spring tonight, and tomorrow you'll go to that couple's..."

Caroline listened to Paul's arrangements, her mouth twitching.

'Why do I feel that Paul's arrangements are a bit strange?' Caroline wondered.

Nicholas said, "We'll stay at your place."

Paul said, "You're here for your honeymoon. My place hasn't been lived in for a long time."

He couldn't let the luxury couple's room go to waste.

Nicholas had a serious face. "We'll stay at your place."

Paul was afraid of Nicholas. Once he said it a second time, there was no room for negotiation.

He snorted. "You'll regret not accepting my arrangements!"

Caroline thought inwardly, 'Not accepting will be the real regret. That couple's room must have some issues.'

Paul took them to his villa.

The villa indeed hadn't been lived in for a long time, but it was cleaned daily.

Paul helped carry the luggage inside, and his phone rang. "I'll take this call."

He walked to the yard.

Joseph's voice came through the phone. "Don't forget tonight's dinner. If you dare not show up..."
