A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 129

"I thought about it carefully," Benson insisted. "I've been with Cee for years—we've been through everything together, and settling down was always going to happen. Since we're going to do it sooner or later, why not just get married now and check off one of life's big milestones?"

Edward nodded in agreement. "Benson's right. It's fine to settle down before focusing on your career. Cee is a good girl, and Benson, you'd better treat her well and not take her for granted."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Edward. I'll make sure to treat Cee well," Benson said seriously, giving his word.

Edward nodded in satisfaction, a smile spreading across his face. "Since you've made up your mind, in a couple of days, invite Cee and her family over for a meal. Pick a good day to set the date for the wedding and get married next year."

Benson pressed his lips together and said, "Grandpa Edward, I'd like to marry Cee without going through an engagement. The New Year is just two months away, and there are plenty of good dates toward the end of the year. Why not pick a date this year?"

Slightly surprised, Edward paused for a moment, saying, "This year's timing is a bit rushed, don't you think it's too soon?"

"It won't be. As long as we get the wedding planner and the arrangements sorted out, there's still plenty of time," Benson quickly replied, his face showing a hint of impatience and eagerness.

Janet looked at his expression, her brows furrowing again as a bold thought crossed her mind. Her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Benson, is Sierra pregnant? Is that why you're in such a hurry to get married?"

"No, Mom, that's not it," he replied by way of a denial. "Don't overthink it. I just want to marry quickly. With Cee by my side, I feel at ease."

"It's too fast," Janet said, still not fully agreeing. However, with Edward present, she didn't dare say anything too harsh. Instead, she nudged her husband, Liam, who had been silent, and whispered, "Say something!"
