Irene Nadine’s POV
“I’d better put on some makeup, in case I embarrass you later.”
Arthur Mitchell smiled. She did look a little haggard, and he understood that girls liked to be beautiful “let’s go after breakfast. They won’t come so soon.”
I was very nervous the whole morning. It was almost noon when the Arthur Mitchell’s family came. At first, I thought that there were only his parents, but I didn’t expect that there were more than ten of them. All the aunts and uncles had come, and the ward became crowded all of a sudden. Theresa was a little unfamiliar with them, but she was very obedient. Arthur Mitchell taught him how to call those relatives, and Theresa also followed, Very pleasing.
But I’m a little restrained. Fortunately, Arthur Mitchell has been with me all the time. No matter what his family asks, he will considerately stand by my side to help me out. He won’t make me feel embarrassed.
“Where is Henry?” Arthur Mitchell asked.
His mother said, “I don’t know where you went last night. You didn’t come back home. I just called him and said that I just got up. I guess he will come later. He listens to you. You can talk to him later.”
Just as her mother finished her words, a man’s voice came from outside the door, “what are you talking about? It’s not easy for me to meet my brother, and you know how to speak ill of him.”
I know Arthur Mitchell has a younger brother, but I haven’t seen him for a long time. I have met his younger sister for two times, but I haven’t confirmed our relationship at that time. Arthur Mitchell didn’t tell her that we are in a relationship.
Wearing a black casual suit, Henry Mitchell walked in and asked, “where is my sister-in-law?”
Hearing the noise, I turned around and was stunned. Henry Mitchell also saw the woman in his brother’s arms. She widened her eyes and strode over. “Irene?”
I just kept this smile all the time. My face was stiff. When I saw Henry Mitchell, I felt even more embarrassed.
I knew Henry Mitchell when I went to college under the arrangement of Ryan Campbell. He even told me that he had confessed to me!
I almost forgot the existence of Henry Mitchell. I never thought that he would be the brother of Arthur Mitchell.
At this moment, he looked a little excited and immediately said to Arthur Mitchell, “you can’t marry her.”
Arthur Mitchell simply replied him with two words, “reason?”
Henry Mitchell frowned, as if he couldn’t accept it. Looking around at the people around him, he felt a little embarrassed to say it, so he just whispered in Arthur Mitchell’s ear, “she is my first love! I told you!”
Arthur Mitchell chuckled and turned to look at her. But he only replied to Henry Mitchell indifferently, “what a coincidence. Remember to call me sister-in-law from now on.”
“Brother, you are going to piss me off!”
Mrs. Mitchell obviously preferred a sensible Arthur Mitchell, so he scolded the naughty Henry Mitchell, “don’t be silly!”
Unwilling to give up, Henry Mitchell stepped aside. he just called brother, he threw a fierce sentence at her, “Damn it, Arthur Mitchell!”
Arthur Mitchell pretended not to hear it. He held me in his arms and said politely, “it’s getting late. The restaurant is the best. Let’s go to have dinner first.”
After saying that, he turned around to put on Theresa’s shoes and held Theresa in his arms.
I don’t have much time to deal with his family, because Arthur Mitchell helped me deal with all the problems. Henry Mitchell is still childish as before. Just now he was a little unhappy, but now he has a good time with Theresa.
Anyway, this meeting is much easier than I thought.
During the dinner, his mother had chosen the wedding day for them and set it at the end of August.
At that time, Theresa was discharged from the hospital and there was plenty of time.
I was still in a daze and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Theresa was getting along well with the whole family and everyone spoiled her, I didn’t have anything to worry about? Isn’t this the second marriage I’m looking forward to?
After sending his family away after dinner, I felt relieved. Although his family is good, it still makes me feel stressed.
Sitting in the car, Theresa climbed on top of me and asked, “Mom, when will we go home?”
“Two days later.”
“Then I can go to school, right?”
“I’ve bought you Uncle Mitchell.”
Sitting in front of the car, Arthur Mitchell couldn’t help but ask, “is it time to call me dad?”
I was stunned. Theresa also turned her head and looked at me with her big eyes, as if asking for my opinion.
The atmosphere cooled down for two seconds
Theresa didn’t know much about the appellation “father”, but she vaguely felt that her mother cared about it very much. Although she was young at that time, she still vaguely remembered that mother was angry because she called “father” randomly.
Arthur Mitchell turned to look at them and said with a smile, “don’t worry. Change the calling later.”
I pursed my lips and wanted to say something, but I hesitated. I didn’t know how to say when I taught Theresa to call dad. Would the child feel strange? Why did Uncle become dad?
No one was bothered by this topic. They took Theresa back to the hospital. There was an infusion in the afternoon.
The child fell asleep on the bed and I tucked her in. When he stood up and was about to go to the bathroom, Arthur Mitchell asked indifferently, “what’s wrong with you and my brother?”
She thought he didn’t care about it, but it turned out that he would settle accounts after.
“… I knew him at school. He was my classmate.”
“He told me that he fell in love with a girl at school and confessed his love. But that girl has been married. Is that you?”
I lowered my head and said sorry. I almost forgot it. It’s embarrassing to talk about it now.
I had thought that Arthur Mitchell would make some comments, but he just muttered, “you got married so early.”
“But if you were not married at that time, you would probably be my sister-in-law.”
I just smiled awkwardly. I was really afraid of thinking about it.
If I hadn’t asked Ryan Campbell for money to pay back the usury of my uncle’s family, I wouldn’t have married myself to a man I didn’t know. Then my life wouldn’t have been like this.
But when I think of it, I don’t regret much. What I have experienced, good or bad, is a unique memory.
When I came back from the bathroom, I saw Arthur Mitchell sitting at the table by the window and reading a magazine. I didn’t want to disturb him, so I didn’t make a sound. When I was about to take out my computer to make some manuscript, Arthur Mitchell called me, “come and see which ring you like.”
I was stunned for a while. Under the gaze of Arthur Mitchell, I slowly walked over and sat down opposite him. Arthur Mitchell put the magazine in front of me and said, “these are all the latest styles of this year. Check if there is anything you like.”
I took over the magazine and looked at all kinds of rings on it. They were beautiful, but the price was incredibly high. So i closed the magazine and said, “you don’t have to be so troublesome. Just pick one in the shop.”
“You only got married once, and you began to save money for me before you got married?” Arthur Mitchell teased.
I explained, “no, it doesn’t have to be expensive. Even an ordinary price can be very beautiful.”
“Is there anything you like on it?”
I just read the magazine casually without saying anything, not like it or not. But now it seems that I don’t care about these things so much.
Seeing my hesitation, Arthur Mitchell said, “the child is still in hospital, and you don’t have time to go out. You can choose any one.”
I think so. Besides, I don’t have the mood to go out.
I found a relatively cheap, simple ring on the magazine and booked it. The wedding will be held at the place where I live now. The rest of the things will be prepared after Theresa leaves the hospital.
I thought that a man like Arthur Mitchell would be as lazy as Ryan Campbell to take wedding photos, so I didn’t mention it. But I didn’t expect that Arthur Mitchell had made an appointment with the stylist and the photographer when I didn’t know it. Everything was arranged, but he just asked me to spare time. I don’t need to worry about anything else.
I always thought that as long as women didn’t mention it, men would ignore it. After all, most men would feel very troublesome.
“Mom, your dress is so beautiful.” Theresa stood beside me in a beautiful dress
I withdrew my sight and just smiled at the child, a little absent-minded.
The way I wore the wedding dress reminded me of many times. I dreamed of the scene when I got married with Ryan Campbell and walked on the red carpet
“Have you changed your clothes?” Arthur Mitchell, in a well tailored white suit, walked over and stood behind me. Looking at me in the mirror, he smiled with satisfaction. “Let’s go, little princess.”
My body suddenly froze. Your highness… Are you talking about me?
Arthur Mitchell bent down and picked up Theresa. With the hemline of my dress in his other hand, he held me in his arms and walked towards the filming site.
I changed several sets of clothes and scenes, I felt that Arthur Mitchell and Theresa were more interesting, but I looked a little tired.
“Ms. Nadine’s expression can be more natural. Don’t be so nervous.”
I adjusted my expression and the smile on my face became more stiff. I’m not nervous, but I don’t know how to smile.
Because I vaguely understand that the upcoming wedding did not make me feel very happy, but only doubts day and night.
The wedding ceremony was approaching day by day. I didn’t worry about Arthur Mitchell at all. He just asked me to pick up the ring and then didn’t ask me to think about it anymore. He just asked me to take good care of myself and Theresa.
“Irene, why are you not in a hurry to get married?”
I turned to look at Sally White and rolled my eyes. “It’s useless to be in a hurry. If I’m in a hurry, can you let me not submit the draft this week?”
“No way!” Sally White opposed immediately
“By the way, someone invested in shooting a movie for your comic book. It’s on Saturday. You need to attend it. A lot of money…”
I’m not interested, but I’m satisfied with giving a lot of money
