Chapter 84 Choosing to Accept (Asking for Subscription ~ Asking for a Monthly Pass~)
Denise held her head high and looked at Jason.
I had a witty look on my face.
Jason didn't hold back.
Raise your hand and slap it on the smooth forehead.
Syllable!
In the crisp sound, Dennis covered her head, her steps paused, her lips flattened, and she looked aggrieved.
But, the next momentβ
"At dinner, you can't grab it with your hands."
Jason reminded.
"Okay~"
In an instant, Denise cracked her mouth and smiled, and bounced back and forth towards Jason.
When he saw Jason standing in the corner of the wall thinking on one side, he didn't bother, just walked around the neighborhood with anticipation on his face.
As for helping Jason solve the problem?
Denise remembers what her mother said: Don't cause trouble to others, that is the greatest help to others.
Dennis has always kept it in mind.
In its heart, it is an ordinary person.
Something Jason can't even solve.
How is it possible to fix it?
No, just move your fingers and turn the page.
So, it didn't make a sound.
Jason glanced at Denise within his 'reach' and began to ponder after making sure it wasn't going to be gone.
How can Gerrard's wedding be postponed?
Unconsciously, Jason substituted the thinking mode of the 'city that never sleeps'-
Kill that 'aunt' Lim!
I can't solve the problem.
But I was able to solve the people who created the problem.
This is the most straightforward and simple solution, or is it a one-and-done solution.
But he was destined not to do so.
Shaking his head, he pulled himself out of the 'city that never sleeps' mindset.
Jason thought of a normal solution as much as he could.
And then discovered......
No!
Yes, there really isn't!
Gerald respected his mother and was destined to be unable to rebel directly against his own.
And his 'aunt' has gone through hardships and is extremely determined, and the persuasion of ordinary people cannot shake the other party's decision at all.
Among this ordinary people, he naturally includes him Jason.
"It's hard."
Jason sighed and looked at Gerald as he navigated the crowd.
Although Gerald was walking in the crowd, his attention was always on Jason's side, and after seeing Jason looking at him, the keeper of the harbor immediately showed an expectant expression.
However, when he saw Jason shrug his shoulders helplessly and said that there was no way, the harbor keeper immediately became depressed.
But only in a flash.
As he looked at the next person, Gerald regained his smile again.
It's just that......
The smile is slightly stiff.
At this moment, for the first time, it occurred to him that it would be better if I were not the ruler of the harbor.
If I weren't in charge of the harbor, I wouldn't have had so many troubles, let alone be so tired.
Every day with my cousin, walking on the beach, fighting hands, wielding swords, and sweating, that is the most enjoyable.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Gerald's character doomed him not to be cowardly in his escape.
They will not hand over their own burdens to others.
He's only going to do it all at once.
Therefore, such a thought just goes around in the back of the mind and disappears without a trace.
Then, Gerald resigned himself to his fate, waiting for his 'verdict'.
About ten minutes later, an old woman dressed in black walked into 111 Delen Street.
Suddenly, the relatives who had gathered around Gerald flocked to the old woman's side and began to shout and flatter.
Gerald seized this rare free time and walked quickly to Jason's side.
"I didn't expect me to have my wedding like this."
Gerald sighed under his breath.
Jason tried to comfort Gerald, but found the words of comfort.
Eventually, Jason put it this way:
"I will always be there for you, now, and in the future."
"Me too!"
Gerald replied.
The keeper of the harbor looked at Jason, and he said as if promised: "Whether it is now or in the future, I will stand by your side and face any danger with you." β
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
It's a simple friendship between men.
Although their beginnings are derived from family affection.
After that, the two talked in a low voice about trivial matters.
It was not until the 'aunt' came over that the two men stopped talking and walked out of the corner of the banquet hall.
"Gerald, you are the master here, and you should always stand in the most glorious place."
"Jason, you're Gerald's cousin, and even if you want to avoid annoying interactions, you can only stay in the corner at the end of the party, not while it's going on."
As soon as Aunt Lim came over, she looked at Gerald and Jason for a while.
The two glanced at each other and spread their hands together.
This made the old woman frown.
However, nothing was said again.
Instead, he turned and looked at the relatives.
"Welcome to Hanse Harbour, to 111 Delenstrasse."
"Today is a special day."
"When Hans left, it was today."
The old woman said, and her expression was sad.
Jason swept the old woman's black clothes, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
Today turned out to be the day of the death of that 'Uncle Hans'.
However, on the day of death, the wedding will be held......
It's kind of weird.
Jason couldn't help but look at Gerald.
Then, he saw Gerard look a little stunned and surprised.
"My mother rarely talks about my father's death."
"I am the first day today to know the date of my father's death."
"In the past, when I asked, my mother would always be furious, and after a few times, I didn't ask again."
Noticing Jason's gaze, Gerald explained softly.
Jason listened, frowning.
He felt a little out of the ordinary.
But she didn't make a sound, just listened quietly to the old woman's continuation.
"At that time, Hans took the 'Queen Mary' to the Southern Islands."
"Unfortunately, a storm engulfed the Queen Mary."
"Hans and the ship's passengers were all killed."
"Because of the suddenness of the incident, Hans did not leave any will, and I took the young Gerald with me at that time and became the head of Hans Harbor......"
The old woman's voice spoke sadly.
Then he began to tell a little about his uncle Hans.
Bit by bit, Jason has a more specific impression of the aunt in front of him and the uncle he has never met.
A patch of Gerald stared at his mother.
There was respect in his eyes.
Only Gerald, who has experienced this firsthand, can understand what his mother has endured.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life of nine deaths.
He still clearly remembers that when he was ignorant, in order to help a fallen lady, the other party showed a sharp blade, and it was his mother who stood directly in front of him.
The blood spurted directly on his face.
It's lukewarm.
Just like his mother's smile when he comforted him.
'Gerald, it's okay. β
'It's just a small injury, just take a break.' β
The memories of the past, which had been blurred, suddenly became clear.
This made Gerald's last trace of unwillingness to disappear without a trace.
Even for the sake of my mother, I shouldn't run away.
Gerald told himself this, and at the same time expressed self-reproach for his 'willfulness'.
And at this moment, little Leader suddenly walked in, he avoided most of the people, quietly came to Gerald's side, and whispered-
"Your Excellency, Carol. His Highness Kra is assassinated! β
