As hope rose in my heart, Sherry said, “I asked her to come here.”
Her voice was steady, and her purpose was imperceptible.
But I glanced at Marlin Carter who seemed to have sweat on his forehead.
We entered the room. Sherry pulled me down on a two-person sofa. Marlin Carter and Inez Fanning sat opposite. And Harry began to pour tea for us.
Sherry took my hand and came straight to the point.”Mary has told me everything about the wedding.”
At this point, Marlin Carter’s sweat comes down. He stood up, points at Mary and said, “You’re a minnow. Were you bribed by June Carter?”
He picked up the glass from the table and threw it at Mary.
Mary could not dodge. So she was splashed with hot tea. The cup fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces!
“That is enough!”Cried shouted gravely, and said to Mary, “Mary, you go in and change your clothes. Don’t come out until I call you.”
Although Sherry had always been a benevolent impression, but she is the head of the Carter Family. She carries a lot of weight.
As soon as she said, Marlin Carter sat down again with his hands clenched. He still tried to explain something.
Sherry asked me, “June, I heard Mary say that you were with Sean Jessop on the night of the wedding, right?”
I nodded inexorably. I’m not sure why Sherry would ask these questions.
Later, Sherry added, “Mary said that although it was clear after that day,
Molly hasn’t moved in with Sean Jessop yet.”
Then Inez Fanning stood up and explained, “That’s because Sean felt sorry for Molly and he wanted to give her the best place in his heart and let her live in it.”
I felt sad for no reason.
Sean really took extra care of Molly Carter.
How can such affection be affected easily because of my words?
But when I thought Sherry was just trying to get justice for me today, she said,”Okay, this is your fault. June has married to Sean. She can’t marry anyone else again in such situation. So it just goes like this.”
It took me five seconds to figure out what that meant.
So did Inez Fanning and Marlin Carter. Then Inez Fanning stood up and screamed in a shrill voice,”No way! No way! How can she marry Sean Jessop!”
I was surprised, too.”Grandma?”
At this point, I had mixed feelings. In fact, I had no hope of being with Sean Jessop.
“The Jessop Family can’t agree.”Marlin Carter now calmed down and mentioned the Jessop Family.
His words woke me up too.
In York, the Jessop Family is a large Family at the top of the pyramid. Although the Carter Family is also very rich, it is far behind the Jessop Family in terms of business scale.
So, theoretically, Sherry didn’t count as long as the Jessop Family didn’t agree.
Sherry glanced at Inez Fanning and motioned for her to sit down.
After Inez Fanning sat down, she continued,”Why do you suppose the Jessop Family married Carter Family?”
I couldn’t answer this question. Sean Jessop was unlikely to marry the woman of the Carter Family according to the size of Jessop Family and Sean Jessop’s position in York.
Why was it the Carter Family?
Sherry explained the reasons. Sean Jessop’s grandfather was Sherry’s childhood sweetheart. At the time, Sherry was a lady from a rich family, and Sean Jessop’s grandfather was just a poor boy.
The people of that time didn’t allow them to marry.
When the two old people met again many years later, they set the marriage.
When Sherry said that, her eyes are full of warmth. It can be seen that Sean Jessop’s grandfather and she must have a special relationship.
