Chapter 84: Choose to accept~Ask for a monthly pass~)
Denise raised her head and looked at Jason.
There was a look of wit on his face.
Jason couldn't hold it back.
He raised his hand and patted the smooth forehead.
Snap!
Amid the crisp sound, Denise covered her head, paused in her steps, and flattened her lips, looking aggrieved.
However, the next moment——
"During dinner, you can't grab it with your hands."
Jason reminded.
"Okay~"
In an instant, Denise smiled widely and jumped up and down to chase Jason.
When he saw Jason standing in a corner thinking, he didn't bother him and just walked around nearby, his face full of anticipation.
As for helping Jason solve the problem?
Denise remembered what her mother said: Don't cause trouble to others, that is the greatest help to others.
Denise is always in my heart.
In his heart, he is just an ordinary person.
Things that even Jason can't solve.
How can it possibly be solved?
It's not like reading, just move your fingers and turn the pages.
Therefore, it made no sound.
Jason glanced at Denise, who was within his 'reach', and after confirming that it would not let go, he began to think deeply.
How can Gerald’s wedding be postponed?
Unconsciously, Jason entered the thinking mode of the "city that never sleeps"——
Kill that ‘aunt’ Lim!
I can't solve the problem.
But I am able to solve the people who create problems.
This is the most direct and simple solution, and it is a one-and-done solution.
But he was destined to not be able to do this.
He shook his head and pulled himself out of the 'city that never sleeps' thinking mode.
Jason tried his best to think of normal solutions.
And then found out...
No!
There really isn’t!
Gerald respects his mother and is destined to be unable to directly resist his mother.
And his 'aunt' has gone through many hardships and is extremely determined. No ordinary person's persuasion can sway her decision.
Naturally, this ordinary person includes him, Jason.
"Difficult to do."
Jason sighed and looked at Gerald who was walking among the crowd.
Although Gerald was walking among the crowd, his attention was always on Jason. After seeing Jason look at him, the harbor master immediately showed an expectant expression.
However, when he saw Jason shrugging helplessly and saying that there was nothing he could do, the harbor master immediately became depressed.
But it was only a fleeting moment.
When looking at the next person, Gerald resumed his smiling expression.
only……
The smile is slightly stiff.
At this moment, for the first time, the thought came to his mind, how great would it be if I was not the person in charge of the harbor?
If I were not the person in charge of the harbor, I would not have so many worries, let alone be so tired.
Walking on the beach with my cousin every day, fighting each other, wielding swords, and sweating, that is the most enjoyable thing.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Gerrard's character is destined to not be a cowardly escape.
He will not hand over his own burdens to others.
He will only bear it with all his strength.
Therefore, such thoughts just circulated in my mind and then disappeared without a trace.
Then, Gerrard resigned himself to his fate and waited for his 'sentence'.
About ten minutes later, an old woman dressed in black walked into No. 111 Deren Street.
Immediately, the relatives who had gathered around Gerald swarmed around the old woman and began to greet her and flatter her.
Gerald seized this rare free time and walked quickly to Jason's side.
"I never thought I would have my wedding like this."
Gerald sighed softly.
Jason wanted to comfort Gerald, but he couldn't find the words to comfort him.
Finally, Jason said:
"I will always be by your side, now and in the future."
"Me too!"
Gerald answered.
The person in charge of the harbor looked at Jason and said as if he was making a promise: "Whether it is now or in the future, I will stand by your side and face any danger with you."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
This is a simple friendship between men.
Although they started out of family ties.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted in low voices about trivial matters.
It wasn't until the 'aunt' came over that the two stopped talking and walked out of the corner of the banquet hall.
"Gerald, you are the master here, you should always stand in the most glorious place."
"Jason, you are Gerald's cousin. Even if you want to avoid annoying communication, you can only stay in the corner at the end of the banquet instead of during it."
As soon as Aunt Lim came over, she scolded Gerald and Jason.
The two looked at each other and spread their hands together.
This made the old woman frown.
However, he didn't say anything more.
Instead, he turned around and looked at those relatives.
"Welcome to Hans Harbor and 111 Dren Street."
"Today is a special day."
"It was today when Hans left."
As the old woman spoke, sadness appeared on her expression.
Jason glanced at the black clothes on the old woman's body, and felt a sudden realization in his heart.
Today turns out to be the day that 'Uncle Hans' passed away.
But, on the day of death, a wedding is held...
It's really weird.
Jason couldn't help but look at Gerald.
Then, he saw Gerald looking a little stunned and surprised.
"My mother rarely talked about the circumstances of my father's death."
"This is the first day today that I know the date of my father's death."
"When I asked in the past, my mother would always get angry. After a few times, I stopped asking again."
After noticing Jason's gaze, Gerald explained softly.
Jason frowned as he listened.
He felt something was unreasonable.
But he didn't make a sound, he just listened quietly to the old woman's continued words.
"At that time, Hans took the Queen Mary to the Southern Islands."
"Unfortunately, a storm engulfed the Queen Mary."
"Hans and all the passengers on board died tragically."
"Because of the sudden incident, Hans did not leave any will. At that time, I took the young Gerald and became the person in charge of Hans Harbor..."
The old woman spoke sadly.
Then he began to tell some things about his uncle Hans.
Bit by bit, Jason had a more concrete impression of the aunt in front of him and the uncle he had never met before.
Gerald stared at his mother.
There was respect in his eyes.
Only Gerald, who has experienced this personally, can understand what his mother endured.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a narrow escape from death.
He still clearly remembered that when he was ignorant, in order to help a fallen lady, the other party showed a sharp knife, and his mother stood directly in front of him.
The blood sprayed directly on his face.
It's warm.
Just like the smile his mother comforted him at that time.
'Gerald, it's okay.'
'It's just a minor injury, just take a rest.'
Memories that had been blurry in the past suddenly became clear.
This made Gerald's last trace of unwillingness disappear without a trace.
Even for my mother, I shouldn't run away.
Gerald told himself this and at the same time expressed remorse for his 'willfulness'.
At this moment, Little Lid suddenly walked in. He avoided most people, quietly came to Gerald, and whispered——
"Sir, Your Highness Carol Carat has been assassinated!"
