He knew that girls love beauty, so he would help her look for suitable gloves when she was choosing a wedding dress, to cover up the still unhealed
wond
Getting married, it was clearly their own business.
He, on the other hand, arranged everything meticulously and accomplished everything flawlessly, without any flaws or imperfections.
Just watching him personally try on gloves, examining the material and elasticity to see if it would have any impact on the wound, Hailey felt at ease.
She raised her arm and accidentally bumped into Austin, who was busy with his headscarf. She rarely complimented him.
“Tro, you had a good eye for choosing the groom. I am very satisfied.”
Chapter 16
“Of course, with my outstanding talent and handsome appearance, how could the person I choose be inferior?
Austin had a proud look on his face as he picked up the vell and gestured it onto her head.
Halley
praised him and then lowered her voice to start flattering him.
Why would such an outstanding young talent like him agree to marry me?
When it came to this topic, Austin raised an eyebrow and became even more cocky.
“Andrew was famously known as an iceberg in scientific research. From childhood to adulthood, he was wholeheartedly devoted to the medical profession, considering all romantic relationships as mere distractions. Naturally, his family urged him to settle down, and of course, a few of us good friends had to help in finding a suitable match. However, we introduced him to more than ten people, and he didn’t like any of them.”
“Until the day of my birthday, I invited him to come and play. He saw the family portrait in the house and stared at you for a while. I felt there was a chance, so I tentatively mentioned it. Surprisingly, he took the bait! That’s when I thought of trying to match you two together, but you were stubborn and refused to budge. If it wasn’t for his patience in waiting for you for half a year, you wouldn’t have been so lucky!”
Hailey thought carefully and realized that she had indeed heard about the arranged marriage six months ago.
She didn’t know about Caroline’s situation at that time, so she didn’t agree no matter how her family persuaded her. Did Andrew know that she didn’t want to, and still waited for her for six months?
Hailey was a little surprised.
Austin looked at her in surprise and gently tapped her forehead.
“By the way, Bryan called me before I left and said he wanted to ask you something. Remember to contact him, okay?”
Although Hailey nodded absentmindedly, she actually had no intention of getting in touch.
Looking at her expression, Austin’s little suspicion in his heart finally diminished.
“He took care of you for so long, and there was a bit of a sibling bond between you two. When you got married, I invited him on your behalf. ” When this sentence came out, Hailey was completely stunned.
“Did he know about my wedding?”
Austin squinted his eyes and recalled the words he had said before leaving, missing the shocked expression on her face.
“I forgot to mention this, but he should have known it was you, otherwise if I were getting married, he would have come as a groomsmal”
Looking at the uncertain expression on his face, Halley was momentarily speechless.
Unreliable older brother.
When Roy brought the voice recorder over, his face was full of embarrassment
Bryan reached out to take it away, but he held on and refused to let go, hesitating as he tried to persuade a few more times
“Bry, how about we just let it go? You have been holding onto Caroline for eight years and haven’t been able to move on. Some things don’t really need to be delved into too deeply, it’s better for both you and her.”
