"I heard that itās for the childās custody rights?" James Carter said, "There are many ways to repay someone, but getting yourself tied up for a lifetime is the silliest one."
"James Carter." Mandy Forest coldly called out the name that had been heavy in her heart for many years, "I am an adult, not like your Jillian Carter who in your heart is forever a young girl. I know what Iām doing, so I donāt need you, an outsider, telling me what to do."
Mandy Forest almost directly asked James Carter what position or qualification he had to dictate her life here.
Wasnāt it James Carter who made her life a mess?
This man, so gentle to everyone, yet only with her, he was ruthless enough.
"Mandy, donāt act on impulse and ruin your whole life." James Carterās tone was rather stern, "I know I donāt have the right to say anything to you, I just hope you live well."
"I donāt need you to worry, Iām fine, I know what I want to do. I, Mandy Forest, have always lived and acted with a clear conscience. For those who have been kind to me, even if it requires a lifetime of marriage to repay, whatās wrong with that?" Mandy said, "I donāt know where you heard all this, but I hope you keep it to yourself, donāt disrupt my life once again at this crucial moment."
James Carter was left speechless for a while, then helplessly sighed.
Indeed, Mandyās character has always been like this, clear-cut with her grievances, hating resolutely and thoroughly.
Just as James Carter thought Mandy would hang up first, the person on the other end suddenly called out to him again.
"James Carter." Mandyās voice was gentle, "The woman you fall in love with is very fortunate, but also very unfortunate. Your heart carries too much and spans too wide. As your ex-girlfriend, I advise you to sometimes think well for yourself, and for those who love you. Donāt let this world see another Mandy."
"Iāve said all I could, take care." Mandy swiftly hung up after speaking.
After hanging up the call, Mandy, with some emotion, tossed the mobile phone onto the tabletop.
Only when she looked up, she realized someone was standing in the doorway.
"Was it James Carter calling you?" The man walked in and stopped right in front of Mandy, "Did he find out about our upcoming marriage? Jillian Carter must have told him, right?"
"It must have been Jillian Carter." Mandy nodded, "The matter of fighting for the childās custody rights should also be something Jillian Carter looked into."
Since Jillian Carter could investigate the child custody matter, she likely guessed the reason for her marriage too.
"Did James Carter call you to stop you from marrying me?" The manās voice was husky, as he spoke, his voice paused for a few seconds as if contemplating a major decision.
Then he softly said, "Otherwise, letās cancel tomorrowās plan. Iāll look again, maybe thereās another way. I know James Carterās place in your heart. If because of me, it affects you and him, and leaves you with regrets for a lifetime, Iād be guilty."
"Itās all just past matters, thereās no such place anymore." Mandy self-mockingly laughed and shook her head, "Letās stick to the original plan tomorrow morning. Besides, Amelia is so happy, I canāt break my promise to her. I promised to be her mother, and I should keep that promise."
