Chapter 1745: Will You Marry Louis?
Julie hung her head, sighing inwardly, her face devoid of expression as she walked.
Descending the stairs, Justin Kingston led Mia Lane towards the palace, holding a large black umbrella and tightly embracing his wife in the crook of his arm, followed by several bodyguards.
Mia Lane remained silent along the way, her mood sinking to a low point, her thoughts having drifted away long ago.
"Honey, I know you’re hurting inside, but at least you personally brought him to justice." Justin Kingston comforted her, "Your master in heaven will see that it was you who caught the killer, and he will be gratified."
"Why are there bad people in this world?"
Mia Lane felt very upset, a tearing pain in her heart, deeply repressed inside, "Isn’t it good for everyone to get along? Do they have to harm others before they can live well themselves? Even if they possess such goodness, how can they be at peace?"
Justin Kingston felt heartache for her, "People are different, human nature is most vulnerable, so we must protect ourselves well. After all we’ve been through, we should all understand one thing: we can be kind, but our kindness must carry an edge, never giving bad people any chance."
Mia Lane believed the law would bring justice to everyone, allowing the deceased to rest in peace.
But just letting Eden die, it’s too easy for him!
For trash like him, he should be thrown into a cauldron, suffering a thousand cuts! He specialized in poison, who knows how many people fell at his hands?
In the King’s palace.
Ian Shelby and Jocelyn supported him one on each side as they entered, taking him to the bedchamber, with servants and guards standing to the side, respectfully making gestures of homage, not daring to breathe loudly.
After a flash of lightning and thunder, the storm suddenly intensified like madness, pouring down as if in buckets!
Tonight is destined to be an unusual night.
To Eden, having lived for decades, he really hadn’t seen rain like tonight’s.
Almost as if portending something, even the heavens are sending him off! Bidding him farewell.
He regretted being overconfident, hubristic, failing to remain calm to the last moment.
In the luxurious, retro bedchamber of the King, the intricate crystal lamps emitted dazzling light.
Ian Shelby helped the King sit steadily on the bed, Jocelyn crouched down to remove his shoes, her movements tender, just like a servant but with heartfelt care.
Because he is Ian Shelby’s father, she feels for him, respects him.
This detail fell into both Ian Shelby and the King’s eyes, especially Ian Shelby, deeply touched in his heart, quickly crouching down to help his father remove the other shoe.
Jocelyn’s gaze moved slowly from his distinctively jointed fingers upwards, finally resting on his handsome profile.
Ian Shelby turned his gaze towards her, their eyes meeting, he slightly smiled.
He could finally gaze at her passionately in front of a third person, for just a moment.
The girl also smiled softly, at this moment her heart filled with emotion, finally catching the killer, her task in Lorelei was half complete.
Then Ian Shelby took Jocelyn’s hand, helping her stand, intertwining their fingers.
The King suddenly felt less tired, his affectionate gaze fell on the pair’s interlocked fingers, slowly raising his eyes to look at the young couple standing before him.
This was the first time his son held the girl’s hand in front of him, the first time their relationship was made public through action.
The King knew they were in love, just from hearing about it.
"Jocelyn." The King was particularly pleased at this moment, his gaze falling on the girl, expectantly asking, "Would you be willing to marry our Louis?"
This...
This question is so abrupt!
Jocelyn Morgan had not expected it at all, she paused for a moment, although her heart was sweet, she still turned her gaze to the man beside her.
"Father." Ian Shelby was very responsible, holding the girl’s hand tightly, meeting the King’s gaze, his voice gentle, attitude resolute, "Once you recover, we’d like you to officiate the wedding, holding it in Lorelei."
