“Finnley, in fact, you look really beautiful in skirts. Look at your figure, how nice!” Dexter bought a pink skirt for Finnley and watched her put it on.
“Really? I think it’s pretty too. How about I start wearing skirts all time from now on?” Finnley looked at herself in the mirror. She looked so beautiful that she fell in love with herself.
“No, you still can’t wear it when the weather is cold. What if you get sick?” Dexter frowned. He doted Finnley as if she was his daughter.
“I’m not that weak to fall sick just by wearing a skirt.” Finnley had not worn skirt for more than twenty years. She thought that she didn’t look good in skirts. However, since she wore a skirt once, she found out that she really looked good in one. She loved to be pretty, so she wouldn’t give up wearing a skirt again.
“Anyway, it’s just not okay. You can wear it when the weather is hot.” Dexter insisted on his opinion.
The two started to have different opinions on when Finnley could wear a skirt.
Faustina, who heard their conversation, could not help but interrupt them, “I think that Dexter is right. You have not worn a skirt before, so you’d better keep an eye on your body. Don’t disbelieve his words.”
Faustina was very satisfied with Dexter. Finally, she could get rid of her daughter. She even thought of preparing a generous dowry for Finnley.
“Mom, you, why don’t you side me? I will be angry if you treat me like this,” said Finnley to Faustina.
“Okay, okay.” Faustina was thinking about something else and didn’t notice what she was talking about.
“We’ve already set the date. My mom has drawn up a list and said that we can go over there to take a look when we’re free.” Dexter was quite happy when he knew that his mom and Finnley’s mom were good friends.
“Well, okay. I will go over and take a look. I have prepared a dowry for Finnley as well, so I will go and show it to your mom too.” Faustina was busy preparing the dowry for Finnley recently, so she didn’t meet up with Eliana either.
“Mom, you prepared a dowry for me? How much is it?” Finnley was interested in her dowry now, and she was eager to see what her mother would prepare for her.
“Of course. Look, are you satisfied with what I’ve prepared for you?” Faustina was not pretentious, so she handed her the dowry list she had prepared.
Finnley and Dexter looked at the paper. It was filled was lots of items listed on it. Basically, half of the Carr family’s assets were given to her as a dowry.
“Oh, mom, there’s so many things on the list, isn’t it a bit too much?” Even Finnley felt that it was too much.
“I’m sending you to Dexter to harm him, so I have to give more.” Faustina said and laughed.
“Mom? How much do you dislike me, huh?” Finnley knew that her mother was joking, so she squeezed herself into her mother’s arms and pouted.
“No, no. She is not going to dislike you. Even if she dislikes you, I will still like you,” said Dexter seriously. In his heart, as long as Finnley was a woman, it was already a blessing to him. The rest was not that important anymore.
“But I dislike you! Why are you so nice to me?” Finnley looked at Dexter. This man was the man she wanted to be together for the rest of her life. He was willing to give up anything for her, so what else could she complain about him?
“Hey, you are my wife, you’re the only person I’ll be good to.” Dexter took Finnley’s hand and said dotingly.
Faustina saw that her daughter had found someone to dote her for the rest of her life. She felt very relieved to see this. Faustina had doted her daughter for more than twenty years, now she would have to pass her daughter to Dexter. Fortunately, Dexter was a very good man. Otherwise, she would be really sad and reluctant.
“You guys continue chatting. I’ll go see what to prepare.” The wedding was one week away for now, and Faustina was afraid of missing out something.
“Okay, mom. Go ahead.” Finnley let go of her mother. She saw that Faustina’s eyes were already red, knew that her mother was reluctant to see her go.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’m going to treat Finnley well. Besides, if I treat her badly, I can’t beat her too.” Dexter also noticed Faustina’s emotion. He then tried to assure her.
“Ya, okay, okay.” Faustina was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to hold back her tears anymore.
“Mr. Dexter Butler, are you willing to take Miss Finnley Carr as your wife? Will you be with her, in sickness, in poverty, in disaster?” The priest asked Dexter in a very solemn manner.
“I do!” Dexter said firmly.
“Miss Finnley Carr, are you willing to marry Mr. Dexter Butler? …” The priest had finished his words for quite some time, but Finnley still didn’t answer him. Her eyes were filled with tears. As she looked around, she saw that her mother was wiping her hears, and her friends and relatives were giving her blessings.
She looked at this wonderful man in front of her and then she said out loud, “I do!” The rings were exchanged, and Dexter kissed her on the forehead.
The wedding went on and Dexter was so happy to marry the woman he loved. He was so blessed.
“Hey, Dexter! You are my love rival, I also like Finnley very much!” Hilary ran up to Dexter and Finnley. She purposely stood in between them and held Finnley’s hand.
“It doesn’t matter how much you like her. She is mine now and will always be.” Dexter, who had always been a formal person, could also make people cringed when he spoke sweet words.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Dexter, I was wrong about you. I thought you were the one who wouldn’t say sweet words. Who know you’re actually better than Kingsley?” Hilary glared at her husband.
“I’m a hands-on approach man. I don’t need to say anything, I’ll just need to do it.” Kingsley spoke into Hilary’s ear. Her face turned red instantly. ‘Damn it! Can’t he stop for a while when they are outside?’ thought Hilary.
Hilary’s face was red, so she pushed Kingsley away. Originally, she wanted to play a joke on Finnley, who knew Kingsley would mess up her joke.
As they looked at Hilary and Kingsley leaving, Dexter wrapped his arms around Finnley.
“Finnley, I love you!” Dexter lifted Finnley’s chin.
“Dexter, I love you!” Finnley opened her mouth slightly and took the initiative to kiss him. The kiss between the two seemed to have added honey, which made the people surrounding them felt sweetness in the air.
The end.
