CHAPTER 884: CHAPTER 884: PROPOSAL

Everett Morgan has been in the business world long enough to understand the balance.

Hailey Hale is the mayor’s daughter, how many families would love to have such a daughter-in-law?

Moreover, with Mayor Hale’s experience and connections far surpassing the new mayor of Veridia, such a political and business marriage must be a match made in heaven.

So, he nodded in agreement, "Of course there’s no problem, I’ll clear my schedule for tomorrow and definitely bring your mom to visit."

"OK, it’s settled then. Thanks, Dad, you go ahead." Finn Morgan waved his hand at him.

The three-person video conference, after Everett Morgan hung up, only left Finn Morgan with his mother.

"Mom, are you feeling better?" Finn Morgan’s expression was gentle, "You’ll come over tomorrow too, won’t you? You really like Hailey; surely you also especially wish she could be your daughter-in-law."

Being with her husband for many years, Jasmine knew very well why Finn’s father agreed so quickly just now.

Merchants only need a moment to weigh the pros and cons.

"Of course, I will."

Jasmine smiled, although she had only met Hailey Hale once, she genuinely liked her, irrespective of her status, they really clicked.

"Son, do we need to worry about the wedding?" Jasmine said, "If there’s anything you need help with, you must tell us."

"This isn’t necessary, I’ll have someone take care of it. You and Dad just need to attend on time," Finn Morgan told his mother, "It’s just, Mom, that the invitations for our side of the family need you to deliver. I don’t have the time to go door-to-door."

For those with family etiquette, notifying in person about happy occasions is a sign of courtesy.

"That’s no problem," Jasmine responded gently, "Is there anything else I can help with?"

"I need you to treat Hailey like a daughter," Finn Morgan jested.

Jasmine laughed, "That’s a given."

After a brief chat with his mother, the video call ended.

And Finn Morgan also knew that the reason his parents agreed so quickly had a lot to do with Hailey being the mayor’s daughter.

If she were a commoner’s daughter, not a suitable match in terms of status, this marriage might require much more consideration and would need time to prove itself.

The next morning.

Finn Morgan piloted a helicopter back to Veridia to pick up his parents. The parents had prepared some expensive gifts for the visit last night, and the family of three joyfully went to the Hale Family to propose marriage.

Dennis Hale deliberately didn’t go to work, gave a few instructions to Secretary Shaw, and then turned off his phone.

Fully dedicated to receiving guests.

The parents of both families met formally for the first time, sitting down to discuss the children’s marriage, and it was full of a sense of ceremony.

Finn Morgan sat with Hailey, the two holding hands, listening to the elders communicate, with their hearts filled with happiness.

Of course, he sometimes also thought of Melissa Merce, remembered this pitiful girl, and felt sad for her.

In a hospital in Veridia.

The doctor no longer recommended that Melissa Merce be discharged. After she found out about her illness, her condition became particularly unstable.

"Cindy, want to eat an apple?"

Claudia watched her daughter lie sideways in bed for two hours, staring at the cloud outside the window, as if entrusting something to it, looking quite low-spirited. As a mother, she was really worried.

Melissa Merce was like a puppet whose thoughts had been removed.

She lay sideways without moving, murmuring, "In two days, I’ll be able to see Finn Morgan marry Hailey Hale..."

When she said this, the corners of her lips lifted, but her eyes couldn’t help but shimmer with a hint of tears, and her nose felt sour.

"This is the only way Finn Morgan will remember me..." Melissa Merce eventually used a little trick, "Even if I don’t want to, I’ve made it possible for them."

Her heart ached as if being torn apart... she was so jealous.

"Cindy..."

Claudia didn’t know how to comfort her, she could understand her daughter’s feelings, but could only share in her sorrow.

"Mom, please help me pick the most beautiful dress, I want something in goose yellow," Melissa Merce imagined the scene two days later, "I want to walk behind them on the red carpet, I want to hum the wedding march, listening to him vow to her..."

"Cindy... don’t do this," Claudia’s voice choked up, "That will surely be your saddest day; you should just watch the live stream."
