Chapter 1151 Canceling the Wedding

"Yeah." Freya nodded heavily.

Hearing this, Cecilia instantly became flustered.

It seemed that the diary had indeed been taken by Daryl. She turned and walked into the master bedroom, supporting herself against the wall.

Actually, the diary recorded her emotional journey from studying abroad, mostly about her experiences with Daryl. There was nothing scandalous in it.

However, Cecilia still felt uncomfortable, as if her inner thoughts were being spied on. She didn't want to lay her heart and all her emotions bare for Daryl to see.

But no matter how unwilling she was, the diary had already been taken by him, and all her emotions were exposed to Daryl.

Outside, the night was deep. On the leather bed lay a black tailcoat, and the room was filled with many bright red decorations, exuding a festive atmosphere.

Daryl stood by the window, wearing a white shirt with the collar slightly open. Smoke rose slowly from the cigarette between his fingers, and the ashtray on the windowsill was already full of cigarette butts.

The next morning, Daryl came downstairs wearing a black suit.

Azalea greeted him with a smile, "Daryl, why haven't you changed yet?"

"It's still early, no rush. Let's have breakfast first," Isaac, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said with a smile.

Hearing this, Azalea quickly nodded. "Right, let's eat first."

"Daryl, why do your eyes look a bit puffy?" Elijah Fields asked with concern.

Daryl touched his eyes. How could they not be puffy? He hadn't slept a wink last night.

At this moment, Azalea teased, "Daryl is too excited. He's going to be the groom today and couldn't sleep out of happiness!"

Hearing this, Isaac and the relatives and servants all burst into laughter.

Daryl's face showed no expression, but his brother Elijah noticed something was off.

The next moment, Daryl said to Azalea, "Mom, I have something urgent to do. I need to go out."

Hearing this, Azalea frowned. "We're about to go to the hotel. Where are you going? And you need to have breakfast. You have a lot to do this morning."

"Mom, I have to go," Daryl said without explaining and turned to leave.

"Where is Daryl going?" Azalea looked at Daryl's back, worried.

Isaac said, "He knows what he's doing. Let's eat quickly."

Azalea then pushed Isaac to the dining room.

As soon as Daryl walked out of the villa, he heard Elijah's voice behind him. "Daryl!"

Turning around, Daryl saw the sunny and handsome Elijah walking over. "Daryl, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Sensing Elijah's concern, Daryl patted his shoulder.

"You seem reluctant about this marriage." Elijah hesitated.

Daryl paused for a moment and then said, "Today, stay close to Mom and Dad. If anything happens, you can take care of it."

Hearing Daryl's unusual advice, Elijah frowned and asked, "Daryl, will something happen today?"

Daryl didn't answer directly but said, "I have something to do. You go back and have breakfast with Mom and Dad."

After saying that, Daryl turned and left.

Elijah watched Daryl's back, frowning, his eyes full of worry.

After getting into the car, Daryl said to Douglas in the front, "Go to the Tate Villa."

Hearing this, Douglas frowned. "Mr. Fields, according to tradition, you and Ms. Tate shouldn't meet before the wedding."

Daryl frowned. "Do as I say. Don't ask why."

"Yes, Mr. Fields." Douglas hesitated for a moment but started the engine.

A while later, Daryl appeared at the Tate Villa's front door.

The Tates were shocked to see Daryl.

"Daryl, why are you here?" Charlotte greeted him.

Daryl respectfully said, "Charlotte, I need to see Skylar urgently."

Seeing Daryl's unusual expression, Charlotte remained calm and said, "Whatever it is, wait until after the wedding. You can't see each other now; it's bad luck!"

Daryl insisted. "I'm sorry, Charlotte, but I must see Skylar!"

After saying that, Daryl rushed upstairs.

Seeing that, the Tates whispered among themselves.

Although worried, Charlotte smiled and said, "Young people these days can't stand being apart for even a moment."

The relatives all laughed.

Rushing upstairs, Daryl saw Skylar sitting at the vanity, surrounded by makeup artists and stylists.

Skylar, wearing a white wedding dress, looked at herself in the mirror with a joyful expression, immersed in happiness.

Seeing Skylar like this, Daryl frowned deeply.

"Skylar," Daryl called after a long pause.

Hearing the call, Skylar turned around and saw Daryl standing behind her.

Wearing her white wedding dress, Skylar was surprised and opened her mouth wide, then slowly stood up and asked, "Daryl, why are you here? You shouldn't be here. Go back quickly!"

"Skylar, I have something to tell you," Daryl said, his eyes complicated.

Hearing this, Skylar frowned and then asked the makeup artists and stylists to leave.

For a moment, only Daryl and Skylar were left in the room.

Skylar looked at the unusual expression on Daryl's face and asked softly, "Daryl, what do you want to tell me?"

"Skylar, I'm sorry, I..." Daryl began.

Skylar interrupted him, "Daryl, our wedding is in two hours. Can we talk after the wedding?"

Seeing the pleading look in Skylar's eyes, Daryl turned his face away and said with difficulty, "Skylar, I'm sorry, but I can't marry you."

Hearing this, Skylar was stunned, then grabbed Daryl's hand anxiously. "Daryl, are you joking?"

"I'm serious," Daryl said, looking at Skylar apologetically.

After hesitating for a moment, Skylar suddenly said, "Daryl, are you out of your mind? Do you know how many people from the Tate and Fields Families will be here today? All the important figures from Maple Valley's political and business circles will attend our wedding. The hotel, the banquet, and the motorcade are all ready, and the invitations have been sent out. You say you won't get married? Have you thought about my situation? I'll be laughed at! Have you thought about all this?"
