Chapter 816: Chapter 816: What Should She Do Now?
Brittany immediately opened the envelope and started reading the letter.
"Brittany, when you read this letter, I’ve been on the flight to Africa. I’ve applied for the mission there. I would live in Africa for two years. I wish you could live a happy life with Norman after I return back after two years. Brittany, I wish you could be happy. Show me your happiness so that I won’t regret the decision I’ve made today."
Did Adam leave?
The news was so astonishing that she could not think about it more deeply.
What the hell was going on?
Brittany rushed out of the room. Her mother and father were sitting in the living room downstairs. One was reading the newspaper, and the other one was enjoying the mild.
Her mother threw an eye on Brittany and said, "Brittany, pay attention to your appearance. If we’ve gotten guest here, you would be embarrassing your parents."
"Darling, your baby daughter is not sexy. She would never turn any guy on. Don’t worry about her. Taste the sandwich. It is so delicious."
"Who should I blame?"
"Me. Of course, you should blame me," Donny immediately showed a flirty smile and put the sandwich into her mouth.
Seeing this, Brittany was driven crazy, "Adam has gone. Do you know about this?"
"Of course, I know. He applied for the mission in Africa several days ago."
"What? Several days ago? What about my engagement?" hearing this answer, Brittany got confused completely.
"Baby, congratulations. You really frighten the only man that was willing to get married to you. You have no choice but to stay with us for your whole life," her mother said in a calm voice.
"What....what the hell is going on? What happened?"
"I think you know it. Adam knows that you don’t like him. So he decides not to get married to you."
"But, I’ve told everyone we would get engaged. What could I do after two days?" Brittany said in a helpless voice.
"I would handle this. I would never let you lose face, my baby," Donny showed a tricky smile and then looked towards his wife, "Darling, I think mild in your glass looks so delicious. Oh. Your rouge looks fabulous. So perfect for you."
"Only the rouge?" her mother passed the mild to Donny.
"And the hairstyle, oh. You also changed your clothes. This is the second time for you to wear those shoes. Oh, the ring. It is your mother’s. It has been two years since you’ve worn it last time. Oh. Your nail cracked. Wait for a moment. Let us go to beautify your nails."
"Thank you so much for going with me."
Seeing them, Brittany held her forehead helplessly. She really suspected that she might be adopted. She had no choice but returned back to her own room.
Lying on her bed, she was so messed up.
What should she do now?
The next day, the message of Brittany’s engagement party arrived in all families. Everyone knew Brittany Yates was going to get engaged.
Brittany could not get the invitation cards back now. Therefore, every time she went out, others would congratulate her. She had to smile at them and express her appreciation.
She went to the hospital again. But Norman didn’t want to see her. He blocked her out of the door.
On the third day, the day of Brittany’s engagement, they held the engagement party in the London residence.
In the morning, Brittany’s mother stood beside the bed and started directing all maids to make up for Brittany, from her clothes, hair-dress, perfume, and flowers. She wanted to make her daughter be the perfect woman in the world.
At the moment, her mobile phone rang. It was from Donny in the London residence.
"Darling, we have run out of champagne roses. What about the red rose?"
"No. Too low."
"What about the white rose?"
"It is not our daughter’s funeral."
"Okay. Yes, madam. I would ask my men to find the champagne rose at any cost."
"Don’t call me for such trifles again. Otherwise, you could not come back home tonight."
"Sorry. Darling. My apology."
Brittany’s mother hung the phone up and threw an eye on Brittany, "You are the same as your father. You could never stop talking."
"Mom. Are you showing off in front of me? I can get a perfect husband too."
"Is it obvious?"
"I don’t understand. My fiancée has run away. What the hell am I doing now?"
"We’ve given out the invitation cards. If others heard that your fiancée abandoned you, that would be so shameful for you. Therefore, your father and I made a decision. We decided to turn your engagement party into your news conference. We would announce at the conference that you would never get married. You are willing to stay with your parents for your whole life."
"Never get married..."
Brittany said in a casual voice. But when she heard her voice, she immediately realized something wrong. She got so thrilled that she was choked by her saliva. She coughed out hard.
"Take her a glass of water."
"Mom, what do you mean by that? Never get married? Are you fucking kidding me?"
"Oh. It would be best if you emphasized on the news conference that it is you that decides not to get married. That was why the engagement party was canceled. Adam did not abandon you. Furthermore, it would be best if you told them your father and I have spent a lot on your engagement. It is you that refused our kindness. It would be best if you never blamed us. It would be best if you did not tell them it is our fault. Let those people witness this. Otherwise, if you couldn’t find a man to get married to, they might say it is our fault."
Hearing these words, Brittany felt so angry.
Her mother was really hospitalised. She really doubted whether she was this woman’s biological daughter.
"Mom, do you really need to do this? It sounds so mean to me." Brittany clenched her teeth and said.
Hearing her words, her mother said, "We’ve found lots of excellent men for you. But you like no one. You are twenty-seven years old now. You should accelerate your steps now. If you still could not get married, we would leave you alone. We plan to travel all around the world in the next few years. We would travel for at least three years. We don’t care whether you would get married or not. We’ve brought you up and taught you to be an independent, smart girl. Time for us to take a rest. Actually, it is also our responsibility. It is us that made you be such a powerful, strong woman. So we decide to travel to punish us."
"Punish? By traveling all around the world? Where’s the money?"
Her parents all quit the job. It would take a large amount of money to spend three years traveling all around the world. Brittany had a bad feeling. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"You should provide the money. Come on, and we’ve spent a lot of money on raising you up. It is time for you to return the money. You should understand. I might not be able to have a grandchild in my life. You should feel guilty. Therefore, you should make amends for us, understand? We also plan to buy a flat by the sea to enjoy our retirement life. Prepare for that."
Hearing these words, Brittany covered her chest. She felt so hard to take a breath now.
Why did she have such kind of parents?
Whatever, she didn’t want to think about it now. All right. She could tell the media that she would never get married. She didn’t want to get married now. She could kill that thought now. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
They arrived at the residence at eight o’clock. The residence took a new look. The door surrounded by twenty-four roman columns was covered with light yellow champ roses. The roses stretched towards the end of the red carpet on the floor.
Brittany wore a long white dress, with a bunch of flowers in her hands. It felt like a wedding.
