Chapter 818
“Very well.”
Old Mr. Ford put all his pawns back into the bowl where they belonged. “If that‘s your decision, I really don‘t want to interfere. But I’m worried. You‘re still young, after all, and there‘s every chance that you might regret your decision. My suggestion is for you two to get engaged first.”
He went on, “If, after staying engaged for a period of time, you still decide to get married, I will have nothing else to say.”
Weston furrowed his brows and remained silent.
Then, a moment later, he resolutely defended his request. “I don‘t think there‘s a need to get engaged. I‘ve already decided to be with her.”
He was adamant about getting married to Stella once more.
This time, though, he would give her a happier marriage.
“Since you‘re bent on doing so and are so confident, you should have no problem accepting my suggestion, that is, if you‘re confident about the state of your relationship with her,” old Mr. Ford said.
Stella could sense Weston‘s hesitation. He was, in fact, worried about her.
He squeezed her fingers. “I‘m the one who can‘t wait to marry her.”
Stella looked back at him and said softly, “Let‘s listen to Grandpa and get engaged first.
“I‘m confident about our relationship. What about you?” she stated with determination.
Weston rested his forehead on hers. “As long as you‘re willing to.”
“All right, then that settles it.”
Old Mr. Ford smacked his palm against the table. “If you two really cannot wait, then get engaged quickly, I won‘t stop you from doing so. If you two still want to be together after getting engaged, I suppose that would be a decision arrived upon thinking things through. As long as both of you don‘t regret your decision and are very certain that this is who you want to be with for the rest of your life, I won‘t tear you two apart.”
“What? Old Mr. Ford agreed to their marriage?”
Mrs. Cohen was in disbelief.
