“Lacey, do you remember what I told you that year? When I chose to be together with you, I was prepared to make enemies with the entire world. Since I’m not even afraid of the entire world, why would I be concerned over an insignificant man like Ichiro Yamano?”
Zeke’s heartwarming words comforted Lacey immensely.
Her resolve wavered instantly.
This man is so loveable yet detestable!
Soon, Zeke and the rest arrived in the living room.
The living room had been set up as a wedding hall.
Although the set-up was simple, it looked extremely luxurious.
Ichiro spotted Lacey immediately and his eyes lit up brightly.
He was extremely eager to spend a passionate night with this beautiful woman.
“You’ve finally come, Ms. Hinton. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Clyde scolded unhappily, “Why did you only come now, Lacey Hinton? Don’t you know how long Mr. Yamano’s been waiting for you? Never mind, let’s cut the crap. Change into your wedding gown right away and marry Mr. Yamano.”
He shot a glance at the maid.
Holding the wedding veil, she walked quickly towards Lacey and tried to put it over her head.
However, Lacey yelled hurriedly, “Stop! Clyde, who are you to marry me off to Ichiro Yamano? I oppose to this marriage. I already have a husband.”
Clyde scoffed, “Who am I? I’m the head of the Thisleton family! Also, your husband is head over heels with Princess Leia from Atlantis. I can’t believe that you still miss him. You are a disgrace to the family! Forget it. As it’s supposed to be a celebratory day, I won’t argue with you. I command you to marry Mr. Yamano right away. It’s your honor that he has taken a liking to you!”
As he spoke, Clyde tried to put the wedding veil over Lacey’s head himself.
Carrying Missy in his arms, Zeke sighed.
Clyde is so domineering.
Lacey’s life depends on just a single statement from him!
Does he even treat Lacey as a human being?
Seems like the punishment of cutting off his finger was too light.
With Missy in his arms, Zeke walked towards him and said in a deep voice, “Who dares to touch Lacey?”
When his voice sounded, everyone was stunned.
Many of the Thisletons stood up in shock.
Zeke Williams!
Zeke Williams, who disappeared for three years, has come back!
Damn it! Why didn’t he come back at another time? Why must he return at this juncture?
Today’s wedding is probably going to be quite troublesome.
However, it doesn’t matter!
Regardless of how troublesome it is, we must fulfil Ichiro Yamano’s wishes—even if it means killing Zeke Williams!
Ichiro asked, “Clyde, who’s this man carrying the child?”
Clye replied, “He’s Lacey’s ex-husband. The child whom he’s carrying is theirs.”
A disappointed look appeared on Ichiro’s face instantly. “What? She already has a child? What a pity!”
Clyde panicked and assured him quickly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Ichiro. As Zeke Williams is Lacey’s ex-husband, he has no right to interfere with today’s wedding. Their child is diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis and can only live for one more year. You’ll not be affected at all. Please don’t forfeit this marriage.”
Ichiro asked, “Oh, really? As long as that child dies, I will not forfeit the marriage.”
The Thisleton family heaved a sigh of relief.
Zeke was enraged.
These people are willing to sacrifice Missy’s life for their own profits!
Luckily, I came back.
If I returned a year later, Lacey and Missy would have been sabotaged by these scoundrels!
