Chapter 4301
Audrey developed an early-to-bed and early-to-rise routine since her retirement. Liberty bet Audrey was in bed by now. “Take good care of yourself. Don’t kill yourself with all the work. Just take it easy,” Audrey said to Liberty. Liberty heeded Audrey’s nagging and ended the call. It was a quiet night. In the next few days, Darren put his focus on Caroline’s care and a wedding proposal. Despite knowing what Darren was up to, Caroline played dumb and kept the questions to herself. Then came the day of Caroline’s hospital discharge. Liberty made time to visit Caroline with her husband on her last day at the hospital. She brought along a bouquet of flowers. Darren bought Caroline flowers too. Liberty entered the ward with a bouquet while Caroline was on her way out with one in hand, too. Liberty smiled. “Are you done with the discharge procedures already?” “Yeah. It’s all done. I’m packed up and ready to go. I can’t wait to get out of here. “I might as well ro

Caroline flushed slightly. “How would I know? He didn’t say what he was off to do, and I'm not a mind reader.”Liberty chuckled but did not press further. She stayed at the hospital for over an hour before leaving.That evening, after finishing her work, Liberty called Audrey.Audrey answered promptly. “Liberty, what’s the matter?”She asked with concern, “Are you doing well in Jensburg? Is everything going smoothly? All Souls Day is next month. We should visit my parents’ graves then.”“I’m doing very well, Aunt Audrey. Everything is going smoothly. With Caroline and Duncan guiding me, I’m full of confidence.”Audrey sighed in relief. “I believe in you. You’ll do great.”“I actually wanted to talk to you about Caroline’s personal matters.”At the mention of Caroline, Audrey fell silent, waiting for Liberty to continue.“After being discharged from the hospital, Caroline plans to register her marriage with Darren Fletcher and hold a wedding. It’ll probably be after All Souls D
Chapter 4299
Liberty caught the implication and asked with delight, “So you're planning to register your marriage with Mr. Fletcher ahead of schedule? Weren’t you going to date and fall in love properly before getting married?”That was what Caroline had originally said—to date Darren first, experience the sweetness of love, and only then consider marriage. After all, no matter how good a marriage was, it could never match the sweetness of courtship.How many couples started out deeply in love, only to have their feelings gradually worn away by the burdens of life and the trivialities of daily living after marriage?Caroline replied, “We've been together for so long now, our feelings are already deep enough.“Dating and romance can still happen after marriage. Look at your sister Serenity. Didn’t she fall in love after getting married? Now, who would dare say she isn’t happily married to Zachary?”“At least Darren and I have real feelings for each other. It’s not some impulsive decision. I bel

Liberty walked over and sat down in the chair Darren had been using. Glancing at the plate of fruits, she smiled and said, “Every time I come to see you, you're almost always eating. Mr. Fletcher is practically raising you like a pig.”Caroline flushed slightly. “Exactly! I just lost a little blood, but he’s acting like I need to replenish an entire bucket’s worth.“He even says I’ve lost weight. Have I? I actually think I’ve gotten fat. Pinch my cheeks. They’re all chubby now.”Liberty reached out and pinched her cheek, laughing. “They really are a little plump now.“But you haven’t really gotten fat. You’re just not as thin as before. With Mr. Fletcher taking such meticulous care of you, losing weight would be hard.”Liberty set down her bag, picked up a disposable fork, and speared a piece of fruit to eat.“Mr. Fletcher is so thoughtful. He even cuts the fruit into pieces and arranges them into patterns. It looks so appetizing, way better than how Duncan does it. He only knows

“Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet. There’s no need to rush.”Darren was anxious, but he would not show it. In fact, he wanted to officially put a label on their relationship even more than Caroline did.“My injuries aren’t a problem, unless you don’t want to marry me. Then, we don’t have to hurry to register our marriage.”“How could that be? It’s my dream to marry you. From the moment I first saw you, I’ve loved you. It was love at first sight for me.”Darren hurriedly assured her that he was eager to get married, but he was still worried about Caroline’s injuries.Caroline smiled. “When you first came to my side, I didn’t have a single admirer. I didn’t have Celine’s delicate looks, and I made myself seem timid. So many people looked down on me. The men who tried to get close to me were all spoiled heirs and good-for-nothings.“Those who wanted to follow my father’s path, truly good men… Not a single one liked me.”Perhaps it was not that they did not like her, but they k

“I want him to live a long life, at least until we're married, have children, and build our business empire. He can't die before then.“I don’t need to lift a finger to get revenge on him. As long as I live better than his sons and thrive in happiness, that alone will torment him.”Caroline did not know if her father would ever regret how he had treated her, not that she cared either way anymore.Darren nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he’s taken care of. He actually has a strong spirit. He’ll easily last another decade or more.“Ms. Caroline, you’re just being all bark and no bite.”He did not believe Caroline truly sought revenge. She might resent her father, but there was no deep-seated hatred between them, so there was no real need for revenge.The fact that Hunter had known about his sons’ plot yet stayed silent had angered her, yes, but it was understandable. Compared to his three sons, a daughter like her meant little to him.In the end, the father and daughter would
