Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1431

Zoey broke into a grin. “All thanks to your guidance, brother dear! Aren’t you just the luckiest to have someone as good as Mark as your brother-in-law, Harv?”

Harvey lowered his head, visibly embarrassed. He hated it when his parents went into buttery-flattery-mode. He was also deeply ashamed of the things his parents had done. Somehow, they always managed to find the most shameless things to make him feel burned.

As it was a festive day today; Mary and Henry joined the Tremonts and Wynns for lunch. It started as good as one could hope until Harris raised his glass ostensibly to toast in Mark’s name. “I would like to thank you for taking care of my son Harv so well. We didn’t even know he was working under you until I read his payroll and saw your esteemed company’s name on it! Come, let us drink to that!”

Arianne worried that Mark’s past grudges with them would spur him into ignoring Harris out of spite, but her worry turned into relief when her husband raised his glass cooperatively.

Seeing Harvey remain seated without showing any sign of answering his old man’s call, he chided under his breath, “Well? Get up, kiddo, we’re toasting to Mark! Do I really have to remind you what to do?”

Harvey opened his mouth, as though in protest, and then closed it again. In the end, he raised his glass and stood obediently.

Strangely, Harris did not return to his seat thereafter. His voice took a sudden steep into pathos and lamented. “Oh, we used to have the fortune to live comfortably, but we threw that opportunity away and just… Sigh. Every time I think of what happened in the past, I feel terrible! I know you people are nothing but merciful and benevolent—I mean, why else would you be so kind and unreserved in helping our little Harv? Now, look at him at the start of his career! He’s gonna date a pretty sweetie before you know it, and then there will be marriage, buying a house, whatchamacallits. Sadly, his mom and I are incapable of supporting him… So, well? We know we’ve done wrong, but we have repented, and ah, I hope my family could lend him a much-needed hand for our son. He can’t possibly buy a house by himself.”
