He was completely terrified! He quickly whispered to his mother, "Mom, Summer is very busy with filming. She will finish very late today and won't have time. Let's do it next time."
"Not even time for a meal together?" Mrs. Brightwood felt quite disappointed. "This is a special day. Can't you talk to her about it?"
"No, she really doesn't have time. It's not something I can negotiate. It's the filming schedule, and we have to follow the director's orders." Rupert whispered firmly, "Next time, it's easy for family to get together for a meal. Alright, I'm busy now, I have to go."
To avoid raising any suspicions, he quickly hung up the phone and put it on silent mode.
Rupert could sense a change in the Campell family's attitude towards their daughter's marriage. Previously, the elders hoped he would come back soon and complete the wedding ceremony. But now, they seemed willing to give it time, appearing much calmer and more rational, no longer urging for the wedding. It seemed as if they knew something.
However, Rupert felt confident that no one in Arkpool City would know about his gambling overseas. Even the creditor had just received $50, 000, which should keep him quiet for a while.
So Rupert felt safe for now. He knew he should win Summer over; only by keeping her happy could the wedding proceed as planned and everything fall into place.
The Brightwood family lived in a relatively old apartment building. In the outdated living room, Mrs. Brightwood sat on the sofa with a floor plan in her hands, examining it closely until she understood it.
She was extremely excited inside. "We can handle the renovation ourselves; this way we can save a lot of money."
"Young people nowadays prefer to hire renovation companies for innovative designs. Our old-fashioned ideas are long outdated," Mr. Brightwood adjusted his glasses and looked at his wife. "Hiring a renovation company might be more expensive but it fulfills their wishes."
