Chapter 1184
Latonia and Quinlan had already seen Cedric’s latest updates on social media, so his return didn’t exactly come as a shocker.
Sigrid had conflicts with them, but not Cedric Even if he did, he still had to spill the beans about his upcoming wedding.
Cedric came back, but didn’t immediately lay his cards on the table. The Laurences played dumb and had the servants serve dinner
They chatted in the living room for a bit, then moved to the dining table. That’s when Cedric finally said it, “Mom, Dad, I wanna get married, hope you can help with the prep.”
Unlike Bernard, Cedric had his parents around, and they had to deal with this. At least when it came to the wedding prep, they had to show up in person. It was his way of showing respect to Hailey.
He knew this, and that’s why he came back to discuss with them. But the Laurences just exchanged a glance, and Latonia was the one who finally broke the silence, “Who’s the lucky lady?”
Truth be told, they already had a guess. Cedric had been in a relationship with a woman three years older than him a few years ago. They had been together for around three years. Even after they broke up, they still kept in touch
He’d got drunk one night and hit Robin Spencer’s car, all because of that woman. Later, ended up in the hospital also because of her.
Even though the Laurences didn’t stick their noses into these matters, it didn’t mean they were clueless. In fact, they knew too much, and they were not exactly over the moon about their son’s wedding announcement
But they’d learned their lesson from the Sigrid saga, and even though she was upset, Latonia put on a friendly face.
Cedric gave Latonia a once over, and could tell his mom was putting on a brave face. “Her name’s Hailey, she’s the love of my life, and I have to marry her.” After he’d said his piece, he put down his fork and looked at his parents, “You’ve probably already dug up dirt on her, so don’t even bother asking. I’m here today to let you guys know, I’m gonna marry her.”
Quinlan didn’t really give a damn about the marriages of his children, as long as they were happy. But Latonia was a different story. She was all about marrying within your social class and character. She’d done her homework on Hailey, and she obviously thought Hailey was bad news.
Seeing her son was dead set on marrying her, Latonia changed her tune from her hardball approach with Sigrid, and said with a soft voice. T’ve heard about Ms Vulpe. If you like her, I won’t stand in your way. But Cedric, she’s only a high school graduate, she’s been married before, and now she’s running a nightclub. If you marry her, I’m worried people will make fun of you”
“Who dares to make fun of her?”
Cedric’s face turned stormy, his eyes boring into Latonia, “Are you judging her based on this one–sided info?”
Latonia chuckled, “I don’t have much contact with her, so all I have is the info I got.”
Cedric replied icily, “She’s a high school graduate, she’s been married before, she worked at a nightclub, so what? I love her. Whether she’s a rich girl, an average Jane, or a homeless person, I said I’m gonna marry her, and I will!”
Latonia’s hand clenched under the table, “Cedric, this is your first marriage, but it’s her second. How can you two possibly match?”
If Hailey had no previous marriage, she might have agreed, but Hailey had already been married once and was three years older than Cedric. How could she accept this as his mother?
Cedric didn’t give a damn about Hailey’s marital past, “Even if she’s been married three, four times, what does that have to do with me marrying her?”
Cedric was far more determined than Sigrid. He wouldn’t take any advice, and Latonia, feeling tense, stopped pushing, just asked, “Are you sure you want to marry her?”
Cedric nodded without a second thought, “Get the wedding gifts ready. After I propose. I’ll take you to meet her family.”
He was indeed there just to deliver the message. After speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but he was stopped by Quinlan. “Cedric, look at your arrogant demeanor. Have you ever considered our feelings?”
