Chapter 642 He Was Different
"I really don't want her to go astray in life, and I don't want her to experience the hardships I had gone through
Then again, it was because of the illness and the operation this time, I have opened up more. She has her own life, and sometimes, our opinions could only represent ourselves, but not hers.
What's more, I can't guarantee that she will be happy. So it's better to let go of her and let her do what she likes and love the person she wants to love. This way, no matter whether she will be happy or not in the future, there will be no regrets."
While she was speaking, she paused for a moment and looked at Evelyn with a gentle smile.
"Furthermore, Evelyn is now an adult. She is no longer the little girl who has to ask me for my opinion on everything. So as long as she agrees to your marriage, and she likes you, the rest are not important."
After hearing the words, Evelyn's eyes instantly turned red.
She was so moved that she threw herself into Iris's arms, and cried, "Mommy."
Seeing her reaction, Iris laughed.
While standing aside, Marty also felt an immense gratitude.
Then, he said emotionally, "Ms. Iris, I promise you that I will be good to Evelyn in the future. You can supervise me beside me. If I hurt her, you can attack me at any time."
Hearing that, Iris said with a smile, "Hey, how can you call me Iris?"
Looking up from Iris's arms, Evelyn blushed and glared at him.
"Idiot, you should change the way you address my mom!"
Finally, Marty came to his senses. His face was a little red, but he was very happy to call, "Mom."
"Aye, good, good."
Then, Iris went back to her room, and from her suitcase, she took out two presents for the two of them.
Smiling, as she said, "I don't have anything nice to give you now. It's all your fault. You have told me the news so suddenly that I didn't even prepare a wedding gift. I'll give you these for now. I wish you both a happy marriage"
Both of them accepted the gift with a smile.
At that moment, Marty was in a very good mood. Immediately, he asked for the servants to do their respective things, and arranged for the family doctor to check on Iris.
Then, he ordered. "If you need a body check-up in the future, you don't have to go to the hospital. Just make a phone call and the doctor will come here."
"That would be too troublesome," said Iris, feeling a little embarrassed.
In response, Marty said, "Not at all. They are family doctors. This is included in one of their services."
After the reassurance, only then did Iris accept it with a smile.
As they chatted and laughed for the whole afternoon, in the evening, the new cook prepared a feast for celebration.
Since Iris had just been discharged from the hospital, she couldn't eat too much oily or spicy food, so the dishes at the table were light.
Then, Evelyn opened a bottle of wine. Iris couldn't drink it, but she didn't stop them.
But, she reminded Evelyn. "You don't have good alcohol tolerance. Drink less."
Hearing that, Evelyn stuck out her tongue, and Marty said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. We're at home today. It's okay even if we're drunk."
Only then did Iris say with a smile, "Be careful not to spoil her."
Immediately, Evelyn wrinkled her nose unhappily. "Mom, who spoils me? You made it sound like I'm not sensible."
Pursing her lips, Iris smiled happily.
"Okay, okay, okay. You're a good girl. You're the best."
All in all, the atmosphere during dinner was very warm and harmonious.
Meanwhile, on the other end.
At the Blaine family's old mansion.
After completing her skincare routine, Charlotte came down from upstairs and saw Buckley had just come home.
Buckley was already over 50 years old this year, but he still looked very energetic. Because he took good care of himself, people would believe that he was only in his 30s or 40s.
As for Charlotte, although she had two sons, she had been living a comfortable life for many years, so she was well maintained.
Even though her body shape was not as good as when she was young, she had fair and tender skin, and still looked charming.
Naturally, she stepped forward and took the clothes from Buckley, as she asked, "Why did you come back alone today?"
While stretching his sore shoulders, he said, "Roland went abroad for a business trip today. It will probably take three or four days."
At present, the affairs of Blaine Group were all handled by the father and son duo—Buckley and Roland.
Compared to Marty, who loved to play and had his own hobby, and didn't like to be controlled, Roland appeared to be much more mature and steady.
Hearing that, Charlotte nodded.
Looking around, Buckley frowned. "Marty hasn't come back today?"
In response, Charlotte sighed. "Aren't you used to it already? If there's nothing happening, it'll be strange if he comes back!"
When Buckley hear the words, his frown deepened.
After a while, he said unhappily, "Nonsense! Does he even think about his family? He is so used to being wild!"
Seeing that he was angry, Charlotte smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to be angry. It's not your first time knowing him anyway. He is still your son, and I don't know which one of our genes he has inherited from who is always playful."
Her words were as sour as vinegar.
Hearing that, Buckley froze for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something and a look of guilt flashed across his face.
Then, he said to Charlotte with an ingratiating smile, "Okay, okay, It's alright if he can't come back. Dinner is ready, right? Let me see what we are eating today."
After that, he went to the dining room.
As she watched him leave was as if he was avoiding her, Charlotte's eyes darkened.
But in the end, she did not dwell on this topic and followed behind.
That night, after dinner, Evelyn took her mother for a walk around the yard.
On the other hand, Marty went to the study upstairs. Since they were a legal couple now, they didn't need to avoid anything. Therefore, he would stay and live here tonight.
After finishing the walk with her mother, Evelyn returned to her room.
Seeing that there was no one in the bedroom, she knew that Marty was definitely still in the study room.
As such, she turned around and walked towards the study.
Meanwhile, Marty was concentrating on something on the computer in the study.
He was different from his big brother, Roland. Roland was the kind where he had been someone else's child since he was young.
Everything he did was excellent and he could excel in anything. Whether it was his EQ or IQ, he was top-notch, and a few could compete with him.
Therefore, Marty had known since he was a child that he was no match for his elder brother in this respect.
Fortunately, he never had the intention to compete.
Moreover, they had completely different interests and directions in life.
For example, after graduating from college, under their father's request, his brother went to work in his company.
Back then, he did ask his brother in private if he was dissatisfied with their father's arrangement.
