Chapter 2884
Eason knew Alyans reputation-trusted him, even.
But this wasnt about trust.
This was about giving away the most precious part of his life.
It felt as if he was about to place the priceless treasure he had guarded so fiercely into someone elses hands.
Sensing Easons softened resolve, Alyan acted quickly, desperate to prove his sincerity.
If I ever make Miley cry, if I ever hurt her, you can shoot me on the spot.noveldrama
His hand moved to the back of his waist, retrieving a small pistol.
He placed it on the table, its presence stark and cold.
Miley gasped, her hand flying to the weapon, pushing it aside.
Alyan! Her voice was sharp with fear.
Theres no need for that. Youre scaring me.
Turning to Eason, she pleaded, Dad, I really like Alyan.
Ive loved him since the moment I first saw him.
Please, just say yes.
Easons silence hung heavy in the air, the weight of the decision clear in his expression.
After what felt like an eternity, he let out a slow breath and nodded.
Alright, alright, he muttered, his voice tinged with reluctant acceptance.
There was no joy in his consent, only the resignation of a father letting go.
He stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Miley, holding her tightly as if for the last time.
With a final sigh, he took her hand and placed it gently in Alyans.
Youd better keep your word, Eason warned, his voice darkening.
If I ever find out my daughters been hurt, I dont care how powerful you are.
I will kill you.Alyan, feeling the weight of Easons blessing and his threat, gripped Mileys hand tightly.
His eyes burned with sincerity.
Ill take care of her, he vowed, his words carrying the depth of his promise.
The crowd, who had been watching in rapt silence, erupted into applause.
It was as though they, too, had been holding their breath.
Nathan was the first to break the moment, his voice rising above the clapping.
Congratulations! he called out, flashing a grin.
Lucinda, sitting beside him, chimed in with her own congratulations, her mind already calculating.
Alyan, please provide more support to the Simmons Group from now on, she added smoothly.
In her eyes, this was not just a union of love but also an opportunitya chance to strengthen alliances and secure the future. With a stiff, forced smile, Eason allowed himself to be helped away by his servants, his steps slow and burdened.
Miley, unable to shake the concern gnawing at her, followed him, her eyes never leaving her father.
Alyan, ever at her side, walked behind them.
As they disappeared from view, Lucindas thoughts drifted, her gaze softening as she glanced toward Nathan.
For the first time that night, she thought of their own daughter, Destinee.
Someday, Destinee would grow up and fall in love too.
And when that time came, Lucinda wondered if Nathan would be as reluctant to let her go.
The emotion in Easons eyes tugged at Lucindas heartstrings, stirring something deep inside.
Turning to Nathan, she whispered, Lets head back.
Alright.
With a gentle touch, Nathan wrapped his arm around Lucindas waist, guiding her out of the bustling banquet hall.
