Jane Sampson finished reading and couldnât help but doubt whether she could still recognize words.
Are you freaking kidding me? Known each other for only a few days and already talking about marriage? Didnât even bother with an engagement first? â Princess Egg-Yolk.
Sheâs impulsive, and she actually found a man whoâs just as impulsive as she is? â Princess Egg-Yolk.
The key is, would her dad and mom even agree to this? Flash marriages donât work like this! â Princess Egg-Yolk.
Oscar Wilson took one look and immediately sent a video voice message over.
Jane Sampson glanced at James Black across from her while holding her mobile phone, "Iâm heading upstairs to take a video call."
Without another word, Jane Sampson dashed upstairs, slammed the door shut, and quickly answered the call.
"Why would I kid you? You still donât believe me? Let me tell you, itâs for real. My dad has already received the news; itâs not fake." Oscar Wilson rolled his eyes dramatically at the camera. "But honestly, when I first found out, I had the same reaction as youâscared half to death!"
Seeing Jane Sampsonâs silly, clueless expression, Oscar Wilson burst into laughter. "Are you totally freaked out by this news? Let me tell you, if it werenât for the fact that her future husband is some kind of defender and marriage requires a marriage report, theyâd probably have gone straight to the marriage certificate already!"
"Uh..." So there actually was someone who could be even more impulsive about marriage than her.
In the past, when Jane and James Black got married, it had already felt pretty impulsive. Just because she had been tied to a marriage contract from a young age and thought James Black was good-looking, plus marriage would allow her to leave the Sampson Family, Jane hadnât had any objections to marrying James Black. She had even been quite happy during the process.
But to be honest, her marriage had never been simple. It wasnât for love, nor for any feelings or sense of responsibility. It was purely her way of escaping from the Sampson Family, her only path to freedom.
However, when she married James Black, at least he was someone she had known everything about, someone sheâd grown up with. And every senior in the Black Family had been kind to her, loved her, and had watched her grow up. Thatâs why Jane could still be cheerful when marrying James Blackâbecause she didnât have to worry about being unhappy or unwelcome in the Black Family.
But Jillian Carterâsheâs marrying someone sheâs only known for a few days.
"My parents were discussing the situation and analyzed it a bit. I overheard parts of it. Apparently, James Carter didnât take her away, which made Jillian Carter impatient. Jillian Carter wanted to get married so quickly because sheâs desperate to leave the village. And that groom..."
Oscar Wilson paused, then mimicked Chief Wilsonâs tone and said, "That man is a schemer."
"Huh?" Jane Sampson froze for a second, then almost immediately understood what the "schemer" remark meant.
"Exactly. Thatâs how my dad described the man. But my dad did add some compliments about him. He said that marrying Jillian Carter might ruin his grand ambition someday." Oscar Wilson shrugged. "Basically, to put it simply, Jillian Carter is marrying to gain freedom, while heâs marrying her for the Carter Familyâs power. Both sides have their own agendas, but theyâve found common ground."
"Wow, marriage can be played like this too, huh." Jane Sampson shook her head, then chuckled. "Whatever, whether she marries or not is her own business."
Jane Sampson even silently wished Jillian Carter and her husband eternal happiness, lifelong harmony, and perhaps even a child sooner rather than later.
