Philip’s words, Dolly and Esther did not understand, but there is one thing both of them understand, that is, Philip approved Brayden.
Not only did they approve, but they were obviously very satisfied.
Mother and daughter both put down their hearts, Philip have no objection, then Brayden and Dolly’s marriage problem can also be solved.
So Dolly spoke up and said, “Dad, there’s one more thing I need to tell you, this is something Mom has agreed to, but she still needs to ask your opinion.”
“You’re talking about your engagement to Brayden.” Philip said cheerfully.
“Brayden already told me when we were playing chess just now. As I said, I am very comfortable with Brayden, the engagement time and the specific matters related to it will all be left in Brayden’s hands.”
Philip’s dramatic change of heart still left Dolly a bit overwhelmed, but the matter was resolved happily.
The family also began to eat happily, and from time to time also chat a few words of family life, the scene is very harmonious.
After eating, Brayden and Dolly sat for a long time again.
Although Philip said that Brayden was in charge of everything, there were still some important matters that needed to be discussed between the two.
When everything was taken care of, Brayden and Dolly got up to say goodbye to PhilipEsther.
“Uncle, aunt, I still have some things to take care of in my company, so I won’t stay much longer. I will soon put together the various matters of the engagement for you two to go over.” Brayden said respectfully.
“Good, good, you do things, we are all very relieved, then we will not keep you, remember to visit home often.”
Philip said kindly, a far cry from the attitude he had when he first met Brayden.
“Brayden, you take good care of our Dolly and don’t let her suffer anything.”
Esther carefully admonished, “Also, make sure to come home more often when there is nothing to entertain you, but even a chat is possible.”
“Uncle and aunt, I remembered what you said, Dolly and I will definitely visit you often.”
Brayden assured with a straight face, “Then we’ll go ahead.”
“Mom and Dad, you go back, we’ll go first.”
Dolly waved goodbye to her mom and dad.
“Remember to drive slowly.”
Esther waved her hand fondly.
After the two had gone away, Esther looked at Philip, who was still giggling, and said, “Look at you, you weren’t like this when Brayden first came. You really don’t have any position.”
“I was not giving young people a little chance. Besides, Brayden is really excellent, and you are not satisfied with it.”
Philip’s face is a bit embarrassed, a few games of chess to be bought, this kind of thing is really not very honorable to say out.
Esther didn’t bother to pay attention to him, gave him a blank look and turned around to walk towards the room.
Philip touched his nose sarcastically and followed Esther inside.
As Brayden and Dolly drove down the road, the latter looked at Brayden and said easily, “I didn’t think you’d pass my parents’ test so easily, we’ll never have any obstacles again.”
Brayden smiled faintly: “Auntie that is not a test, but hate to give me my daughter directly, as for uncle well.”
Brayden said here deliberately paused.
“What’s wrong with my dad? I’ve always found the whole thing about being able to please him by playing chess to be quite implausible, is there another reason?” Dolly couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s because of chess, but another reason is that he hasn’t beaten me in a single game of chess, and I’ve helped him solve a problem he hasn’t been able to solve.”
“So that’s it!”
Dolly understands that Philip is really a chess player, there are only a few people who can beat him, and Brayden is the only one who can make him not win a single game.
Dolly bristled, “So I’m not being sold by my dad.”
Thinking that her father had agreed to the marriage because she had lost a chess game, Dolly couldn’t help but think, “Did I get a free phone bill?
Dolly’s mood is a bit depressed, while Brayden is very happy at the moment. Both parents have agreed, so the next thing will be good.
In the following days, after Brayden finished his business, he immediately went home to discuss the engagement with his parents, obviously taking the engagement party very seriously.
Finally, they decided to hold an engagement ceremony on the 25th of this month.
We didn’t want to make it special, but only invited the close relatives and some close friends of the Dean Family and the Kirkland Family.
But the news that Kirkland Group president Brayden was getting engaged was still spreading.
Early on the 25th, a large number of journalists were squatting at the Kirkland Family, trying to find out something substantial.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t get into the Kirkland Family’s doors until the engagement was over and the guests were leaving one by one, so they went back with their heads down.
At the engagement ceremony, Brayden and Dolly’s parents also met for the first time without too much familiarity. Philip and Otto quickly became close friends because they both like to play chess, while Esther and Talia also had a good feeling about each other.
Brayden and Dolly exchanged engagement rings in front of both parents and in the presence of family and friends.
Without too much fuss, the engagement ceremony ended successfully with the blessing of all.
The engagement party followed, with Dolly holding Brayden’s hand as she toasted and exchanged pleasantries with friends and family in turn, before enjoying a delicious feast in a warm but lively atmosphere.
Throughout the party, Dolly wore a sweet smile. From today, she was no longer Brayden’s girlfriend, but his unmarried wife, his fiancée.
Looking at Brayden with affection, Dolly felt that she could never get enough of him.
Brayden, it was worth all the pain and suffering to be with you.
Dolly smiled and thought with relief.
The engagement party was soon over, and after the guests were sent off one by one, the Kirkland Family returned to their usual quiet.
Dolly’s parents stayed at the Kirkland Family instead of going back to City Z today, after Otto and Talia tried to keep them there.
Philip and Otto, two friends who hate each other, went straight to the study to play chess, while Esther followed Talia to the mall for shopping.
In the large living room, only Dolly and Brayden were left.
“Happy?”
Brayden gently embraced Dolly, and the words were endlessly tender.
“Hmm.”
Dolly leaned birdlike in Brayden’s arms, “This is the happiest day of my life.”
“Then shouldn’t we do something meaningful on such a memorable day.” Brayden said badly.
Seeing Brayden’s bad grin, Dolly instantly understood what was going on and said in an unpleasant manner, “You’re a guy with bad ideas in your head.”
