Chapter 629: Chapter 331 Marry Me, You Won’t Regret It
"Kay Forrest, are you listening to me?"
"I’ll look into it further," he said, realizing he had been careless.
If what Nolan Moore said was true, then Jane Quinlan might still be in potential danger.
Regardless of whether Evie Larkin was innocent or not, he couldn’t take risks recklessly.
After hanging up the phone, Kay Forrest made a call, sending a spy to investigate the final source of the package.
When he got home that evening, Jane Quinlan was about to cook, but Kay Forrest wouldn’t let her into the kitchen.
He was about to cook himself and had just tied on an apron when his phone rang. It was Oliver Turner.
"Hello," Kay answered the call, sounding not too pleased since the call interrupted his cooking.
"Busy?"
"Not really, just get to the point."
"I’m planning to get married."
"To that spoiled brat of a lady?"
Oliver Turner chuckled, while Lily Snow, who had been eavesdropping next to his phone, got anxious and shouted, "Kay Forrest, who are you calling a spoiled brat of a lady?
You’re the shameless young master yourself; why are you mocking me?"
"Because you are spoiled."
Oliver Turner rubbed his ear, "Alright, you two stop arguing, my ears are hurting."
Lily pouted, "Kay Forrest bullied your fiancée, and you just let it slide."
"I’m bullying you? Your voice is louder than mine."
"Okay, Kay Forrest, stop it. Listen to me: the day after tomorrow is my engagement party.
Find a way to make time, I’ll send you the location later."
"This is coercion, isn’t it?"
"Yes, no room for negotiation, alright, keep busy, I’m hanging up."
After Oliver hung up on his own accord, Kay tossed the phone into his bag and called out, "Jane, big news."
Jane Quinlan came to the kitchen door, munching an apple, "What’s the big news?"
"Guess what, that spoiled woman Lily Snow has got Oliver Turner, the ice block, to cave in.
Amazing, huh? Truly, there’s nothing you won’t see in this wide world.
Who would’ve thought Oliver Turner’s antagonist would be someone like Lily Snow?"
Jane laughed, "What’s so bad about Lily? She’s pretty, pure, and adorable. Most importantly, she’s devoted to Oliver Turner."
"You call that good? Look at her temper.
Before even finishing two sentences, she raises her voice.
With Oliver Turner together, his ears must be hurting."
Recalling Lily’s yelling earlier, Kay instinctively reached up to soothe his ear.
Jane leaned against the door with her arms crossed, "That’s not necessarily true. I think Lily is pretty well-behaved in front of Oliver.
She is learning to cook for him.
Do you think women only dress up for their admirers?
We also like to get into the kitchen for them."
"You seem to really like Lily Snow."
Jane nodded, "Yeah, she’s genuine, straightforward. Such people are easy to get along with.
Look at the people around you, where can you find anyone so easy to get along with?"
Kay took a step towards the door and rubbed her head, "Is this a case of ’once bitten, twice shy’? Did Evie torment you?"
"Not exactly tormented, after all, she eventually left Grayson Group, didn’t she?
So I guess we won’t be crossing paths in the future.
Honestly, I feel quite relaxed today."
Kay gave her a doting look, but as he went back to cooking, a sense of worry lingered in his heart.
He felt something off about Evie’s quiet exit this time.
The truth about that package needed to be uncovered quickly.
If not...he was genuinely worried about Jane.
"By the way, have you agreed on a date with your folks for their visit?"
Jane shook her head as she headed back to the living room, "No rush, my parents said after the fifteenth."
"Lily’s already getting married, and you’re not in a hurry.
Aren’t you afraid of wearing a wedding dress with a big belly by then?"
Jane touched her own belly, "It’s okay. I am not fond of wedding dresses anyway, I prefer a Chinese wedding."
"Funny, your taste aligns exactly with my dad’s.
Then we’ll have a Chinese wedding."
Jane nodded, "Sure, I think that’s a good idea."
Kay was cooking meals based on a menu that ensured healthy pregnancy foods every day.
Despite having little appetite, Jane still forced herself to eat.
Even if she ate and threw up later, she had to eat to encourage his diligence.
It’s not easy to have this pampered young master do these things.
She was someone who knew how to count her blessings.
By Saturday noon, Kay took Jane to Oliver Turner’s engagement party.
Oliver wasn’t exactly the showy type, the engagement party was quite small.
Oliver’s parents were no longer around, but Lily’s parents attended.
Besides a few close relatives from the Snow family, the rest were Oliver’s friends.
There were only two tables of guests, showing just how simple the engagement was.
Kay and Jane sat together with Hunter Warren, Faye Townsend, Clara, and Sean Lennox.
Jane and Clara sat together, and Clara’s belly was already noticeably pregnant.
The two of them were constantly discussing pregnancy experiences.
"My baby is very active every night and kicks me a lot."
Jane was quite amazed, "Can I feel it?"
"Go ahead, she just kicked me a moment ago."
Jane placed her hand gently and waited, but there was no response, which disappointed her a bit, "Looks like this baby doesn’t like me."
"No, this baby is particularly lazy; she doesn’t move much during the day.
She gets more energetic as evening approaches."
Faye Townsend, who had sharp ears, asked from across, "Clara, did you find out the sex?"
"I was going to, but Sean said it’s not necessary, boys or girls, both are good.
But at the last prenatal check, I couldn’t resist, and the hospital showed me, it’s a girl."
Faye clapped her hands, "I think a girl is great.
My little Miya was really the most affectionate back then."
"I think Darnley is great too," Clara said, pouting as she liked Darnley a lot as well.
"Darnley’s like a little adult, always managing me strictly.
It’s like I’m not his mom, but his daughter.
Looking back, Darnley really didn’t get to enjoy much of his childhood because of Miya and me."
Hunter wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "Darnley is very happy now."
"I was talking about back then."
"If you talk about the past, I’ll start feeling guilty again."
Kay pursed his lips, "You should feel guilty, treating your wife like that. Anytime I remember it, I want to punch you.
Men should spoil their wives, like Sean Lennox and me."
Jane nudged him, "Enough, why do you have to be so annoying whenever you speak up?"
Faye laughed, "It’s alright, Jane, we’re used to it. That’s just how he is, we don’t get mad at him."
Kay looked at Jane affectionately, "Did you hear that? These people, they can’t be taken seriously.
Later on, if you see them doing something wrong, feel free to criticize."
Jane was speechless, "Stop exaggerating."
Faye observed the interaction between the couple and genuinely felt it was quite nice.
Kay had finally found the woman he truly cherished.
A friend he’d grown up playing with had finally found someone to be happy with, it was indeed a delightful matter.
As the conversation on this side was lively, the protagonists of the engagement, Oliver Turner and Lily Snow, stood hand in hand between the two tables.
Lily was rarely seen being so demure, like a little bird nestling beside Oliver, gazing at him.
It was obvious she truly idolized Oliver.
Oliver spoke, "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my engagement ceremony.
Today’s guests are all Lily’s family and my closest friends.
It’s a rare gathering, and I hope everyone can fully enjoy this wonderful moment."
After finishing his words, Oliver looked at Lily, "Do you have anything to add?"
Lily looked at him and said, "No, what you wanted to say is exactly what I wanted to say."
The engagement ceremony was simple, and Oliver hadn’t even invited a host.
Initially, Lily’s father had some objections, but upon seeing the guests Oliver had brought—individuals who controlled 80% of Anchester’s wealth—he understood Oliver’s intentions.
Oliver took out a ring box from his pocket and held it up in front of Lily, "In the presence of family and friends, I ask you with this ring, destined to carry our marriage: Lily, will you marry me and become my wife?"
Lily nodded continuously, seemingly eager.
Oliver smiled, opened the ring box, took out the ring, and placed it on her finger, "I don’t speak sweet nothings, and maybe won’t say ’I love you’ every day, but I’ll show you through my actions that marrying me is something you won’t regret."
