After Her Engagement Annulled, the Weak Rich Daughter Becomes a Big Shot!

59 The Time of the Engagement

On the way back to the apartment, Edwin took out a retro-style box. Before he opened it, he asked Caroline, “You won’t go back on your word, will you?”

Caroline’s eyes fell on the ring on her ring finger. She took a moment to calm herself down before she looked up. “I will never regret the decisions I make.”

A faint smile appeared on Edwin’s face, and his eyes glowed as he looked at her. He took out the marriage contract, pen, and seal.

“Then we can sign it.”

Caroline took the marriage contract and glanced at it. She saw that Edwin had already signed his name on it. The print was already dry and hard. It should have been there for a while.

She raised her eyebrows, thinking that this person probably had a plan long ago, but pretended to be innocent. He even said that they were friends, but he was just a big bad wolf.

However, since she had made a decision, she would not regret it, so there was no point in dwelling on these things. So she picked up the pen and signed her name, pressed her thumbprint, and then handed one of the copies back, and kept the other one for herself.

Ever since Caroline took the marriage contract, Edwin’s eyes had been fixed on her hand. He watched as she signed her name with a pen and stamped her finger. Only then did he finally relax.

He took the marriage contract and placed it back into the box carefully. Then, he took out his handkerchief and pulled Caroline’s hand over to help her wipe the red ink on her fingers.

The blood-like cinnabar ink left a red stain on the white silk handkerchief, making Caroline’s pale fingers look even whiter.

Edwin couldn’t help but hold her hand gently. Seeing that Caroline didn’t reject him, he opened his hand and inserted his fingers into her fingers. Slowly, he interlocked their fingers and placed them by his side.

“When do you think we should hold the engagement party?” As the temperature of his palm gradually increased, Edwin stared ahead and asked in a calm tone.

However, Caroline seemed to have discovered a new world. She stared at the tip of his ear and saw that the back of his ear was completely red. She then retracted her gaze with interest. “Didn’t you say that this engagement was to deal with Old Madam Anderson? Then I think she’ll want to pick the date herself.”

Edwin thought that this was indeed something his grandmother, Joline, would like to do.

Four years ago, he was injured in an accident and his life was in danger. Although he was treated later, he had been bedridden for the past few years and had only recently recovered.

Joline was afraid of losing him and her heart ached when she saw him lying in bed. So, after he got better, she started to find him a partner.

In Joline’s words, “You’ve been living like a robot for the past few years. Your life has been too boring. We don’t know when accidents and death will come. Before that, you should enjoy life to the fullest.”

In Joline’s eyes, there were many ways to enjoy life, but the most important one was to find someone you loved and stay with them.

But unfortunately, Edwin rejected her proposal time and time again and scared off all the people she had arranged. Just when she thought that he was hopeless for the rest of his life, Edwin suddenly had an epiphany and fell in love with a girl. He even wanted to get engaged to her. How could this not make Joline happy?

Therefore, while the two of them were still discussing in the car, Joline had already pulled Butler Harriman to the calendar and excitedly picked the engagement date.

Seeing how excited she was, Harriman had no choice but to remind her tactfully, “Maybe they’ll pick their own dates?”

Joline pouted. “That boring man, Edwin, is so enlightened. He must want to have the engagement party immediately. If you ask him for his opinion, he’ll only say that the sooner the better. As for Caroline, she can’t rely on her family any more, so I can only help her share the burden and pick a few more days to give her a choice.”

Harriman saw that the dates she circled were all from recent days and thought, ‘Edwin is not the only one who is anxious. Aren’t you also anxious?’

Joline finally picked and picked. “There are a lot of things to prepare for an engagement party. I don’t think they can be prepared in such a short time.”

How could she be sloppy at the engagement party of the Anderson family’s head?

Hmph, she knew how many people outside looked down on Caroline. In order to support Caroline, she couldn’t just let the engagement party pass. Instead, the more grand it was, the better. Only then would they understand how important Caroline was in the Anderson family.

So, Joline crossed out the most recent days. “If Caroline doesn’t mind, then let’s set it for next week.”
