Chapter 84 Choose to Accept

Denise held her head up and looked at Jason.

He had a witty look on his face.

Jason couldn't hold back.

He raised his hand and patted the smooth forehead.

Snapped!

In the crisp sound, Denise covered her head, her footsteps stopped, her lips flattened, and she looked aggrieved.

However, the next moment-

"During dinner, you can't grab it with your hands."

Jason reminded.

"Ok~"

In an instant, Denise cracked a smile, and then jumped and chased after Jason.

When he saw Jason standing in the corner of the wall thinking, he didn't bother, he just walked around with anticipation on his face.

As for helping Jason with the problem?

Denise remembers what her mother said: Don't cause trouble, that's the greatest help to others.

Denise has always been in mind.

In his heart, he is just an ordinary person.

Something Jason can't fix.

How could it possibly be resolved?

No, just move your fingers and turn the pages.

So, it doesn't make a sound.

Jason glanced at Denise, who was within his 'reach', and after confirming that it would not let go, he began to ponder.

How can Gerald's wedding be postponed?

Unconsciously, Jason substituted into the "city that never sleeps" thinking mode——

Kill that 'aunt' Lim!

I can't solve the problem.

But I was able to fix the people who created the problem.

This is the most direct and easiest solution, and it's a once-and-for-all type.

But he was doomed not to do so.

Shaking his head, he pulled himself out of the 'city that never sleeps' thinking mode.

Jason tried his best to think about normal solutions.

And then found out...

No!

There really isn't!

Gerald respects his mother and is destined to be unable to directly rebel against his mother.

And his 'aunt' has experienced hardships and is extremely determined, and ordinary people's persuasion cannot shake the other party's decision at all.

Among these ordinary people, he naturally includes Jason.

"Difficult."

Jason sighed and looked at Gerald who was walking through the crowd.

Although Gerald was walking in the crowd, his attention was always on Jason's side. After seeing Jason looking at him, the harbour keeper immediately showed a look of anticipation.

However, when he saw Jason shrugged helplessly and said there was no way, the harbour master immediately became slumped.

But only in a flash.

When looking at the next man, Gerald returned to his smile again.

only……

Smile slightly stiff.

At this moment, for the first time, it appeared in his mind, how good would it be if I wasn't in charge of the harbor?

If I wasn't in charge of the harbor, I wouldn't have so many troubles, and I wouldn't be so tired.

Every day with my cousin, walking on the beach, fighting, wielding swords and sweating, that is the most enjoyable.

Unfortunately, no if.

Gerrard's character is destined for him not to run away cowardly.

And don't hand over your own burdens to others.

He will only do his best.

Therefore, such a thought just went around in my head and disappeared without a trace.

Then, Gerald accepted his fate and waited for his 'sentence'.

About ten minutes later, an old woman in black walked into 111 Durham Street.

Immediately, the relatives who surrounded Gerrard flocked to the old woman's side, and began to greet and flatter.

Gerald seized this rare free time and walked quickly to Jason's side.

"I didn't think I would hold my own wedding like this."

Gerald sighed softly.

Jason wanted to comfort Gerald, but couldn't find any words of comfort.

In the end, Jason said:

"I will always be by your side, now, or in the future."

"me too!"

Gerald replied.

The master of the harbor, looking at Jason, said as if promising: "Whether it is now or in the future, I will stand by your side and face any danger with you."

After speaking, the two smiled at each other.

This is pure friendship between men.

Although they started 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 stopped talking and walked out from the corner of the banquet hall.

"Gerald, you are the master here, and you should always stand in the most dazzling place."

"Jason, you're Gerald's cousin. Even if you want to avoid annoying interactions, you can only stay in the corner when the party is over, not when it's going on."

As soon as Aunt Lim came over, she scolded Gerald and Jason for a while.

The two looked at each other and held hands together.

This made the old woman frown.

However, nothing was said.

Instead, he turned around and looked at those relatives.

"Welcome to Hans Harbour, 111 Durham Street."

"Today is a special day."

"It was today when Hans left."

The old woman said with a sad expression on her face.

Jason swept over the black clothes on the old woman's body, and his heart was suddenly stunned.

Today turned out to be the day that 'Uncle Hans' passed away.

But, on the day of death, a wedding will be held...

It's kind of weird.

Jason looked towards and couldn't help looking at Gerald.

Then, he saw Gerald looking somewhat stunned and surprised.

"My mother rarely talks about the circumstances of my father's death."

"It's the first day today that I know the date of my father's death."

"In the past, when I asked, my mother would always be furious. After a few times, I stopped asking."

After noticing Jason's gaze, Gerald explained softly.

Jason listened, frowning.

He felt a little out of the ordinary.

But he didn't make a sound, just listened to the old woman quietly.

"Hans at that time took the 'Queen Mary' to the Southern Islands."

"Unfortunately, a storm engulfed the Queen Mary."

"Hans and all the passengers on board were killed."

"Because of the sudden incident, Hans did not leave any will. At that time, I took the young Gerald and became the master of Hans's harbor..."

The old woman's voice said sadly.

Then, he began to tell something about his uncle Hans.

Bit by bit, Jason had a more specific impression of the aunt in front of him and the uncle he had never met.

A piece of Gerald stared at his mother.

With respect in his eyes.

Only Gerald, who has experienced this personally, can understand what his mother has endured.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a lifetime of nine deaths.

He still clearly remembered 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 directly blocked him.

The blood splattered directly on his face.

is warm.

Just like the smile that his mother comforted him at that time.

'Gerald, it's alright. ’

'It's just a minor injury, just take a rest. ’

Memories that had been blurred in the past suddenly became clear.

This made Gerald disappear without a trace at last.

Even for my mother, I shouldn't run away.

Gerrard told himself like this, and at the same time expressed self-blame for his 'willfulness'.

And at this moment, Little Lid walked in suddenly. He avoided most of the people, quietly came to Gerald's side, and said in a low voice--

"My lord, Her Royal Highness Carol Kla was assassinated!"
