There He Is Again My Ex Husband

Chapter 797

"It's OK, Mr. Hilgard. Only then can Jean and I cherish each other more." As a person with a high EQ, Arthur's kind words made Mr. Hilgard less embarrassed. Mr. Hilgard, thus, gave Arthur a thankful look.

Mrs. Hilgard did not continue to embarrass Mr. Hilgard and the dinner for the four ended happily.

After dinner, a chauffeur drove Mr. Hilgard away and Jean and Arthur gave Mrs. Hilgard a lift.

When Mr. Hilgard was about to leave, he tried many times to say something to Mrs. Hilgard. But Mrs. Hilgard did not give him a look and he had to give up.

Mr. Hilgard had accepted the fact that Mrs. Hilgard would not forgive him for a good while. So, he was calm down—as long as they did not get divorced, he still had a chance to ask her for forgiveness.

A week later, Arthur's parents returned from abroad. After coming over jet lag, they made a special visit to Jean's parents in Zoshalor and discussed Jean and Arthur's marriage.

The marriage gifts that Abigail and Brandon brought were so generous that Jean's parents were surprised.

Jean was also amazed. She did know that Arthur's parents would take gifts this time, but she did not expect the great quantity.

She pulled Arthur out of the room and asked in a low voice, "Why did your parents prepare so many gifts? Isn't it too much?"

The sets of jewelry Arthur's mother brought were incredibly stunning, not to mention gifts that could not be seen here, such as stocks, certificates of real estate ownership, and so on. The Hilgards, a family of professional jewelers, had not seen two sets of them before; even so, Jean knew how invaluable they were.

Arthur did not care about it. "No. Anyway, it will be yours, sooner or later."

Jean frowned and shook her head. "I don't want them. Please tell your parents to take them back. Thanks for your kindness."

Arthur took her into his arms and coaxed her, "You silly little girl, no one would turn down marriage gifts, indeed."

At the same time, Abigail was talking with Jean's parents with enthusiasm, "I really love Jean to be my daughter-in-law, so I want to give her the best things in the world. Don't mind the gifts. We still think it's not expensive enough."

Abigail saw that Jean's parents were shocked by the gifts so she conveyed her love for Jean at once; because of the love, she was willing to send all she could get to Jean and her parents.

Mrs. Hilgard was gratified by Abigail's warmth. She was glad that she had stuck to her daughter's side. Arthur was kind enough and his parents were easygoing as well. Jean would be in endless happiness and sweetness when she married Arthur and lived with this nice family.

Jean and Arthur stayed outside for a while. Actually, Jean wanted to come in earlier, but Arthur smooched with her and did not let her go.

After they went into the room, they were told that the wedding would be held in a month. Jean was surprised by the news.

She spoke out her opinion immediately, "Don't you think it's too early?"

Her mom stopped her and said, "Not at all. You are old enough. By the way, your friends have already got their babies!"

Jean explained, "I mean… Is it too fast to hold a wedding in a month, isn't it?"

As a matter of fact, Jean did not think it was too hasty to have a wedding. Arthur had determined the whole wedding process and its details; he even discussed many things with the wedding team one day.

So, even if they were holding the wedding right now, it was not hasty at all.

It was Jean's mind that could not accept a wedding in the near future.

Again, Jean's mother stopped her. "You've got your certificates. If you don't have a wedding quickly, others will think you get fake ones."

Jean did not know what to say.

Abigail said with a smile, "If you get your certificates and don't have a wedding, some people will think about whether the Hudgens look down upon you or disagree with your marriage. But how could that be? The whole family is very satisfied with you. We don't allow others to backbite us like this.

"So, we have to hold the wedding quickly and make a grand and romantic one. We want everyone to know our love for you."

Under the persuasion of Jean's mother and Abigail in turn, Jean could do nothing but accept this wedding date.

She then moaned to Emelia Jones in the WhatsApp group, "I really don't want a wedding. So exhausting!"

Nina Sanchez quickly responded, "Let me tell you. As a bride, my feet were skinned that day."

Emelia felt the same way. "Yes, my back was aching, my legs were too tired to walk, and even my face stiffened because of smiling.

"I was tired yet super happy."

When Emelia talked about her memorable wedding ceremony, her tone conveyed her endless sweetness.

"Because that was my wedding with my beloved man. It's the most unforgettable memory and the most beautiful day of my life."

Nina continued Emelia's words, "Yes. It's an unforgettable memory that makes me laugh and cry, every time I recall it."

"So, be bold to face the day."

"Alright." Jean's mood was much calmer after the persuasion of her two best friends.

Without a doubt, Emelia and Nina would attend Jean's wedding. As for Maisie, Jean did not know whether she should invite her, because Ezra, Arthur's friend, would definitely attend her wedding and Maisie was likely to try to shun him.

Before Jean could say something in the group, Emelia sent a voice message, "I heard from Julian that Ezra may not attend the wedding. Maisie, will you come?"

Maisie, who was far away in the Grafstin, looked at her phone, surprised. Then, she asked Emelia, "How come? They are close friends."

Emelia answered, "I heard that his father isn't well and he is busy dealing with his company. So, he said he won't come."

Jean did not feel anything bad when she knew that Ezra would not attend her wedding. He was Arthur's friend, not hers. The only thing she thought was that Maisie could come to her wedding if Ezra could not.

Therefore, she invited Maisie to the WhatsApp group immediately, "Maisie, since Ezra can't come, you should attend then. It's a good time for us to get together."

"Yeah, come," Emelia and Nina also invited Maisie.

Maisie wavered and finally, she said, "Okay." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

She regretted that she missed both Emelia's and Nina's weddings.

Since Ezra would not show up at Jean's wedding, she would not see him. In this case, she was looking forward to meeting Jean, Emelia, and Nina.

Maisie added then, "I can only be there for one day because my baby is too young to come with me."

Maisie would head for the wedding early in the morning and catch an evening flight home after dinner.

The other three understood her situation and Maisie was sure she would participate in the ceremony.

The relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Hilgard was neither hot nor cold—Mr. Hilgard came to Mrs. Hilgard's house to please her every day while the woman was lukewarm toward the man, mainly because she had no time to notice him.

Since the date was set, Mrs. Hilgard had been preparing for her daughter's wedding.

Although Arthur found a wedding company and had almost undertaken the whole thing, the bride's side had to prepare for certain things. In this case, Mrs. Hilgard did those things herself and endeavored to give her daughter a perfect wedding ceremony.
