Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: Old Master Lawrenceâs Resolute Attitude Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: Old Master Lawrenceâs Resolute Attitude âI feel guilty toward Marcy, she has been a good daughter-in-law, and itâs the Lawrence Family who has wronged her. Itâs because of my guilt toward Marcy that I have allowed you to remain unmarried for so many years, giving you the chance to choose this time! If it wasnât for Marcy, do you think I would have conceded for so many years over the matter of you and Baronâs lineage?â
Had it not been for Macy Barnesâs leap all those years ago, based solely on Skyeâs improper feelings for Baron, he wouldnât have given any notice; he would have directly sent them to Country S to be watched!
Old Master Lawrence didnât plan to waste too many words with him and was uncompromising, âEnough, no need to say more, my stance wonât change. If you truly donât want her to be aggrieved, then properly help her look for a suitable match nearby.â
Nicholas Lawrenceâs lips moved slightly.
Old Master Lawrence narrowed his eyes with authority and stared at him, saying, âI donât demand that she must choose someone beneficial to the family, I will consider as long as itâs not excessive. However, the condition that she must marry within a year cannot be changed! You know my personality; if I say it, I will do it! If Skye hasnât married within a year, then just as I said, send her to Country S!â
Nicholas Lawrence certainly knew his character and understood that the most significant concession he could make was to relax the conditions for Skyeâs choice of spouse.
If they continued to argue over this matter, it was very likely he would directly find someone suitable and demand Skye marry them.
Rather than that, having one yearâs time is still better than not even having a year to hurriedly find someone to marry.
Even so, Nicholas Lawrence still felt uncomfortable, especially when the pains buried in his heart for so many years were dug up again, an anguish that ordinary people wouldnât understand.
Fatigue added a trace to his ruggedly handsome face as he addressed the robust old man, âI understand, Iâll take care of the arrangements.â
âSince thereâs nothing wrong with your health, I wonât stay much longer. I still have work left unfinished.â
Old Master Lawrence was used to his avoiding demeanor, knowing he had yet to move on from the events of more than two decades ago, his expression revealing a certain loneliness, though it was rare for anyone to notice. It seemed like he merely waved his hand carelessly, âGo on then.â
Nicholas Lawrence pulled open the door and left without looking back.
When he reached the corridor entrance, he spotted Skye Lawrence outside the door. He was first taken aback, then his gaze flickered wildly for a moment, âSkye, what are you doing here?â
Skye Lawrenceâs mind was in turmoil, yet she had to hide her true emotions and pretend she had just arrived, lifting the walking stick in her hand as she said, âI came to deliver Grandpaâs walking stick. The Housekeeper noticed Grandpa didnât have his walking stick, and I happened to have some company matters to discuss with Grandpa, so I helped bring it up. Iâve just arrived, Dad, are you done talking?â
Seeing her expression, Nicholas felt like she didnât know, but still unsure, he hummed in response and then asked, âYou really just got here?â
Skye looked at him with seemingly bewildered eyes and answered plainly, âYes, Iâve just arrived. Whatâs the matter? Is something wrong?â
Unable to discern the truth, Nicholas could only say, âNothing.â
His mood was down, and he had no desire to probe further, massaging the bridge of his nose as he said, âIâll wait for you here, go ahead.â
âAlright.â Skye reined in the complex emotions in her eyes and went inside.
