Chapter 5 Getting Married

Chapter 5 Getting Married

Suzanne heard this and looked back at Jerry. Although she knew that he had an intention to bring her here, but his action and words touched her indeed.

Nothing is more important than home, but now she has to buy her house by the money given by a man who had nothing to do with herself, which made her be in agony.

"Think about it. Looking forward to your reply!" Aware of the emotions of Suzanne, Jerry said so quickly and backed away, trying to make her take the initiative to agree to it.

Suzanne turned back and walked into the sea of flowers, and finally stood in front of the house. Memories are vivid still, but everything have changed. The house no longer have not belonged to her already. Full of tears, she sobbed, which made her tremble.

Having noticed the girl was sobbing, Jerry knew that she would probably agree to his proposal, so he immediately called his assistant.

"John, but the Rose Garden, immediately!"

With a triumphant smile, he looked at Suzanne whose long hair and robes fluttered in the wind. The sea of red flowers, the white figure, and the white small building were as beautiful as picturesque at that moment. Suzanne turned around and walked towards him step by step. He looked at her and suddenly sympathized with her, but when she clearly appeared in his eyes, he quickly turned around and looked something else.

"You are the winner. I’ll sign the agreement." She said softly, and then ran to the car.

But Jerry was not happy which he thought so strange. He had never sympathized with anyone.

The phone rang, and he picked it up to answer.

"Sir, the house now belongs to the Hong Gang, and they do not agree to sell it."

"It must be ours!"

"But the opening price is very high, five times more than its own value!"

"Pay ten times the price! We must buy it as soon as possible."

Suzanne came out of the bathroom and put on a chiffon skirt full of broken flowers. Of the five skirts Jerry prepared for her, she felt that only this one was suitable for her.

Seeing her outfit, Jerry raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

As soon as she sat down, the paper and pen were pushed in front of Suzanne.

"If no questions, just sign it!"

Suzanne picked it up and looked at it. It was the same as before, except that the number was turned into “Rose Garden”.

"Can you buy the Rose Garden?" She didn't doubt his financial resources, but when the house was sold, it was said that someone from a social gang bought it, which meant it was difficult to buy the house.

The door was open. John walked in, handed the agreement, and backed out.

Having not looked at the agreement, Jerry threw it to Suzanne directly. She checked it quickly. The house now belonged to her!

"Thank you!" said Suzanne. She felt so moved that she could not help crying.

Jerry was stunned, reached out and touched his nose. He was surprised at the reaction of Suzanne. For many years, countless people said “thank you” to him, but no one was sincere other than Suzanne.

Suzanne grabbed the pen and signed her name on the paper. Then was Jerry.

"Happy cooperation!"said Jerry in a cold tone, intending to shake hands with Suzanne.

"Happy cooperation!"Suzanne didn't understand why he suddenly became so polite, but she did the same like Jerry.

The car was approaching the luxury villa area by the sea, while Suzanne was uneasy in the back seat of the car.

Suzanne did not realize that it was John's home until they passed the villa. The house of Jerry must be pretty amazing since his assistant lived in such a high-end villa, Suzanne thought.

And now she was going to Jerry’s home to visit his grandfather, the founder of the Mo Group, and the current chairman of the board: Matthew Mo.

The car climbed up the hillside along the quiet path by the sea. After turning at a high point, a magnificent building like a castle was in front of Suzanne.

Suzanne's heart was beating fast, and Jerry, who was beside her, suddenly pulled her hands. "Remember, don't disobey grandpa. He was in bad health."

Suzanne agreed.

They had arrived. Jerry pulled her out of the car and took her straight to the castle. The servants listed on both sides bowed their heads and saluted them, and Suzanne greeted them.

As soon as she entered the room, Suzanne saw a woman sitting on the sofa holding a book, who was looking at her carefully.

"This is my sister Lily, and this is Suzanne."

"Hello!" Suzanne put on a smile, while Lily did not answer but just nodded to her.

"Grandpa, your granddaughter-in-law is here!"cried Lily.

Suzanne felt embarrassed.

When the gray-haired old man walked down the stairs, Suzanne didn't dare to look at him.

"My dear, you are so shy!"

"Nice to meet you, sir!"said Suzanne cautiously.

"You should call me grandpa, just like Jerry. Didn’t he tell you?" Then he glanced at Jerry, unsatisfied.

"He did."Suzanne answered nervously.

"OK. Come and sit. Can you show me the ring please?"

Suzanne did so and took off the necklace from her neck. Matthew held the ring and looked at it carefully, and then said softly, "Your grandma used to be my love. However, we could not be together for some reasons, so I made these two rings for me and your grandma. It was the proof that we knew each other. And we decided that if our respective children were opposite sex, they then should get married, or their children made it. But because of the war, we lost contact. I’ve found you for a such a long time. And now you are here! You and Jerry can can fulfill this wish!”

Suzanne pinched her fingers and nodded. Jerry had already told her about this agreement, so she knew it clearly.

"Now that I have found you, it’s the best for you two to get married after three days!"

"What?" Suzanne was surprised at such a decision which was too hasty for her.

On the contrary, Jerry wasn't surprised at all.

“Maybe it’s a bit hasty for you, but I can’t wait to see you get married with Jerry. This agreement meant a lot to me. And it would be better for you to have a child as soon as possible.”

Suzanne's face turned crimson from shyness. It was much too ridiculous! And surprisingly, no one had considered her opinions and feelings!

"But..."

"Yes?"

"Well...grandpa, I just knew about this news. I think I’m not ready for this."

"Never mind it." Matthew shook his head: "I knew a lot about you. I think you should have nothing to prepare for, and we will arrange everything you need. And I think it is the best time for you to marry Jerry. He is pretty excellent, and you will fall in love with him soon, and so does he. Is that right, Jerry?”

Jerry smiled and nodded: "Yeah, maybe it's really destined for me to marry Suzanne. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her.”

Suzanne was dumbfounded when she heard this. She tilted her head in disbelief and looked at Jerry, feeling confused. Jerry smiled at her softly, and she knew that just meant a threat!

"But…"

"Just do as what grandpa had said!"

Suzanne bit her lower lip and turned to look at Matthew: "I need more time to think about it."

"That’s OK!" Matthew said with a wink: "Then let's hold it on Friday, and then you can go on your honeymoon just in time."

What?! Friday? Four days later?! This is no different from the original time at all!

"Well, that's fine!" Hesitant for a while, Suzanne agreed finally.

Matthew immediately laughed: "That’s great!"

“Sir.” The housekeeper was ready for Matthew’s order.

"Go to prepare for the wedding. I'm going to give them a grand wedding!"

"Wait!" Jerry said at this moment: "Grandpa, how about holding a small wedding first?"

Matthew frowned, "Why?"

"To be honest, this is quite sudden. Suzanne is not a lady after all, and she doesn't understand many rules. I'm worried that she will make a fool of herself because she can't handle the grand wedding scene. And it may have some negative impacts on our company, so it’s better for us to hold a mini wedding first and just invite some friends to attend the wedding.”

Matthew looked at his grandson, then at Suzanne, and finally agreed: "Well...It’s reasonable indeed. But since this is the case, Suzanne will live in the house from today on. Well, learn about some rules first. By the way, tomorrow is a good day for you to get the marriage certificate."

Although Suzanne wanted to say no, it was too late.
