Chapter 231

Marry Him as Soon as Possible

Dr.Ferrell nodded without saying more.

"I'll go check her."

August said lightly and went up slowly to Jeanne's room on the second floor.

The servant waiting outside the room greeted him at once, "Mr.Adams!"

August nodded and told her blandly, "Could you inform Mr.Kelly that I'm with Jeanne now, and will talk
to him later on?"

The servant nodded understandingly and left.

August pushed the door open, just to see a dimly-lit room where he could hardly see the furniture
clearly.He then walked to the bed, and a sense of regret welled up when he saw the pale face of the
woman who was crouching under the quilt.

He had promised her that he would hold a memorable wedding when she was getting better.

Yet he became hesitant to it now despite her reminding in one way or another recently.

August decided to leave the room after standing at the bedside for a moment, when the woman on the
bed opened her eyes with some movements of her body.

"August!" she exclaimed in surprise at seeing him, and sat up excitedly to hold his hand, "Don't leave
me..."

August's eyes dropped to the floor.He just couldn't stand women when they were imploring him to stay
pathetically and wistfully.His tone became soft instantly, "Rest assured.I'll be here with you."



"Really?" Jeanne asked excitedly, but turned low again after thinking for a second.She then held
August's waist with both arms as though complaining, "I thought you won't come to see me..."

A mixture of emotions clutched at August's heart.

It was Jeanne who stood by his side during the lowest point of his life, yet now, he couldn't even offer
her the most basic sense of security.

August lifted his hand to stroke Jeanne's hair, "I will be with you.You were thinking too much."

Jeanne was so thrilled to hear that, though she was still sobbing.

"Then tell me why you didn't come for the dinner today? You promised me to come, didn't you?"

she looked up at him with tearful eyes and then answered the question herself before he could make
any reply, "Is it because you knew father is going to mention the matter of wedding today...?" her voice
sounded so upset and uneasy.

Meeting her pathetic eyes, August just felt a jolt in his heart.

"Definitely not.Don't think it that way."

He denied without thinking, and stroked her forehead softly, "It's only because of something urgent,
really.And I promise you that will never happen again."

Jeanne tightened her hug around his waist.

"Really? I thought you just wouldn't like to marry me."

"I will keep my words."



August emphasized his promise again.He then spent quite a while coaxing Jeanne into sleeping again,
and didn't go out of the room until he was sure she fell asleep.

But he still felt like being haunted by some weird emotion although he reiterated the promise to marry
her.

When August got to the living room on the ground floor, he found Martin Kelly smoking on the sofa.

After thinking for a second, August strode up quickly.

"Mr.Kelly." he greeted him.

Hearing August's voice, Martin raised his head and stared at August with the eyes as sharp as usual.

"Get yourself seated." he offered.

August sat down opposite to Martin.

The servant instantly served them with tea.

When the servant was gone, Martine asked blandly after taking a puff, "Have you seen Jeanne?"

August replied with no more emotion in his voice, "Yes.She's sleeping now."

With a noncommittal response, Martin tapped the cigarette to drop the ash.

"How come you didn't come for the dinner today?"

He had actually asked Jeanne to invite August to their home so that the wedding could be put on the
agenda.Yet August didn't show up at all.



Martin just considered that a sort of humiliation to Jeanne and the whole Kelly family.No one could bear
that indignity.

Yet August didn't seem to consider it a big deal.

"I was stopped by something urgent."

"Oh, something urgent?"

Martin's sharp eyes locked August through the smoke, though he still tried to act casually, "what's it?"

What could be more important than the wedding? August paused a little, and there was a hint of
impatience in his eyes.

"Not a big deal."

He then looked up to meet Martin's eyes, "Mr.Kelly, it's my fault today.I will make serious apologies
later.But I guess I should be off now as it's getting late."

Martin approved and offered to see August off.He suddenly asked when they walked to the door,
"Jeanne told me about the wedding of yours.I think it's right time to hold it now.What's your opinion?"

With a thoughtful look, August replied seriously, "I have my plan for the wedding.You can count on me."

Martin could only nod without speaking anymore.

Getting out of the Kelly's mansion, August's face darkened.He knew Martin Kelly well, who was so
cunning that he could anything for the sake of money, including scooping benefits from the marriage
between the Kelly and Adams families, without genuinely caring about Jeanne's happiness as a father.

As the car turned to the main road, August lifted his hand to massage his forehead.



He needed a rest so badly, having run into too many things today and he would have to calm down to
figure them out.

Meanwhile, Martine, who was sat in his living room, stubbed out the unfinished cigarette into the
ashtray with a contemptuous snort.

Footfalls came as Jeanne walked down.

She leant her head toward the door and asked, "Dad, August is gone?"

Martin snapped with rage, "Yes."

He then looked up at his daughter and asked coldly, "What did he tell you?"

Jeanne sat on the sofa across him without hiding her joy, "He said he will marry me."

Seeing her daughter being so proud of something almost impossible, Martin sneered, "I tried to ask
about his intention, and he only said he's got his plan.Yet who knows when he will carry it out!"

Jeanne might have lots of time to wait, yet Martin didn't.

After suffering from the huge loss caused by Merlin Kelly, the Kelly Group was having an
overwhelmingly negative prospect now.

It might even go bankrupt if August refused to marry Jeanne now.

Jeanne knew nothing about the crisis.

She only responded with a smile, "No hurry, Dad.August has agreed to marry me and he will keep his
words."



Martin was so disappointed at his naive daughter.

"You are the only one who's optimistic about it.Do you have any idea what August has been up to
today? The woman beside him is a big threat.The sure thing is to be spoiled by her!"

Martin's remark made Jeanne's face darken.

She actually knew August's movement well, as she had got him investigated when he rejected her call.

And the detective she hired just showed her the pictures of August and Lucia heading for the hospital
together.

Jeanne felt so frustrated, thinking August was accompanying Lucia simply because her father had an
operation.

So that Lucia woman really overweighed her in August's heart? Jeanne thought with growing anger, as
well as an increasing sense of uncertainty.

She hastened to look up at her father and asked uneasily, "What shall I do, Dad?"

"Marry him as soon as possible!" Martin answered firmly.

"So that he will know better who his lady is!" Jeanne nodded quickly.

That was a good method, which would help him forget other women.

And Jeanne believed she had her tactics to get them married soon.
