Upon hearing this, Nick stood up, put aside his usual appearance, and very solemnly bowed to them, “I have carefully considered marrying Kelsey, and I will definitely treat her like the apple of my eye and never neglect her.”
Cynthia almost stood up as she listened, telling him not to speak so quickly.
Kelsey looked at him and smiled with relief, seeing Nick like this, with the responsibility and stability he had before he was hypnotized.
Seeing this, Kelsey’s parents smiled even more happily. Her father said, “Good, good, but our Kelsey is still a bit young. How about this: after we leave here, we will first give you an engagement, and we will keep her at home for two years before she gets married.”
“Leave here?” Nick was stunned, “Why leave here?”
Kelsey’s parents looked at each other, so happy for a moment that they forgot Nick had not been awakened from his hypnosis, and said, “We have to go back to our hometown and tell our ancestors.”
In Nick and Kevin’s eyes, they were all servants that Paige had brought from her hometown, and the ancestral tablets were not even here.
That made sense.
Nick did not ask anything else, and the Folsom family happily congratulated Kelsey’s parents.
Casey and Eduardo also stood up happily and clinked glasses with Nick with soy milk. Nick was there calling them brother, saying that they were family now.
Paige looked at this lively scene and felt a little headache. Suddenly, a cup of steaming soy milk was pushed in front of her.
A low and gentle voice sounded in her ear, “What’s wrong? It seems you have some concerns?”
Paige turned her head and met Kevin’s gaze. Kevin smiled and asked, “Are you worried about my younger brother? In fact, he has never made a mistake when it comes to his real work. He can guarantee that it means he can really do it.”
It is Landon who can do it, not necessarily Nick.
But Paige didn’t know what to say to this for a while, and she only said, “Let’s talk about it later. Later, you should gather all the big and small families in the city for a meeting to discuss city affairs.”
Now that the people can gather, these big and small families have no way to get them together and wake them up from hypnosis.
Kevin is the only one who can speak.
Once they gather, they can break this layer of dreams.
And return to the real world sooner.
Kevin frowned when he heard this, “It’s not easy to gather all the big and small families.”
Rafael’s voice suddenly came, “JT was found?”
Paige looked over, and Rafael’s eyes looked at her solemnly, and then looked at Kevin.
“I was just about to tell you about this.”
Kevin looked at Paige with a clear gaze, ‘Yesterday, before you collapsed in front of Papa Bree, JT escaped by using the smoke bombs. This person has always been cunning, and I was worried that once he escaped, it would be difficult to capture him and let him go and harm people. Therefore, I provoked him a bit by announcing that you and I will be married tomorrow.’
Paige was stunned after hearing this.
“It was wrong of me not to discuss this with you beforehand. I’m sorry,” Kevin said sincerely.
“I thought Leonard should be more curious about the surprise guests from the sky, but I never thought you would ask without even asking!” Rafael sat there, his piercing eyes staring at Kevin as he spoke.
Carrie glanced at him.
Rafael has this kind of charisma, which is not bad.
Rafael leaned over and took another bite of the porridge she fed him, acting like a complete waste of space.
Hearing this, Kevin gave a faint smile and looked at Paige’s somewhat pale face and said, “I am naturally curious about those people who appear out of nowhere, but for some reason, as long as it’s Paige who’s doing it, I don’t worry about her harming people. Since she’s not harming people, what do I have to worry about?”
His tone was full of trust.
Rafael’s eyes stared at the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Why do I feel that you are taking advantage of someone in trouble?
If they really were people of this era, and Paige was really Hazel, a man who had killed countless people, and a man who unconditionally trusted her no matter what she did, it was really hard to say which side Paige would take.
Seeing that Rafael was silent, Kevin looked at Paige and said gently, “What do you think? I think this is a good opportunity. Instead of searching the city for him, we should welcome him in an open and aboveboard manner.”
“And as you said, it’s not easy to gather all the big and small families in the city, but if I, Leonard, were to get married and send out the invitations, they should give me this face.”
Kevin finished listing the advantages.
Everyone looked at Paige, and the people at the next table stopped eating and looked at her quietly.
Paige sat at the table, looking down at the pattern on the bowl in front of her, as if in a daze, with no focus.
Kevin didn’t know if she had heard what he said, so he didn’t say anything more, and just stared at her, waiting quietly.
She had two rows of very dense eyelashes, which were very beautiful, but at the moment, she looked a little pale, pale to the point of making people feel distressed.
The entire restaurant was quiet.
After a long time, Paige looked at the bowl in front of her and said, “Let’s do it then.”
Everyone was shocked. Carrie and Cynthia glanced at each other, their voices caught in their throats.
“Yes,” Kevin answered, his tone tinged with gentle joy, ‘I’ll immediately order someone to arrange the wedding.’
Rafael stared at Kevin intently.
He was sure that this person was taking advantage of the situation.
…
Several servants were sweeping the snow in the courtyard, and Paige walked alone through the corridor under the snow.
“Paige!”
An excited voice came from behind her.
She stopped and turned around, and Carrie, Cynthia, and Kelsey ran over, looking at her with anxiety and questions on their faces.
Paige said without waiting for them to speak, “This city is so big, and everyone is beginning to wake up one after the other. If we can’t find him, Enrico will find out what’s going on in his own way, knowing that he might be a hundred years in the future, and that he might not be JT at all. No one can come back from such a deviation in perception all at once.”
There are many examples of people under hypnosis who have become mentally unstable.
The three of them watched her quietly.
“Before, I didn’t agree because the main power in this city is not with us, and Enrico’s appearance has instead put his life at risk. But now it’s different.”
Now that Temple in Heaven and Jaden are here, this city is in their hands.
“Is that the only way?”
Kelsey whispered, “Although it’s just a trap, I can see that they’ve already started hanging red ribbons, making it look just like the real thing…”
Marrying another man, Paige’s heart will definitely be upset, even if it’s just a trap.
“Yes, and now Brother-in-law is thinking like JT. If he doesn’t fall for it, does that mean the play will have to…”
Cynthia paused, holding back the words “wedding night”.
Hearing this, Paige moved her lips without color and said, “Jared is dead, no matter if he can wake up like Rafael? At least, he has to be by my side.”
