Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 86

She would only be given this attention because of John. That was why she had been clinging to John and refusing to let him go.

Erwin and Carlos were also present at the banquet. When they saw John, they immediately walked over to him.

“John!” Erwin smiled and patted John on the shoulder affectionately.

Carlos looked at John, wanting to say something, but he hesitated.

Carlos still had bruises on his face from when John beat him up.

However, it seemed that Carlos was much better now. There was only a scar on his chin. One would not be able to tell if they were not looking carefully.

John paid them no attention. He took a glass of red wine and raised his head to take a sip.

Carlos was silent for a moment before he stepped forward and said, “John, I will be getting married to Kathleen on the third of next month…”

John’s expression suddenly darkened, and his black eyes emitted a cold light. “I raised Kathleen, and I am her guardian. You would need my permission to marry her!”

Carlos seemed to have already expected that John would say this, and he smiled. “It’s alright. I will give you as much as you want as a betrothal gift!”

“However, Kathleen is already twenty years old. She doesn’t need a guardian.”

John sneered. “I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to afford it!” John laughed coldly.

“There is nothing the Reeves family can’t afford!”

“Alright, then give me the entire Reeves family wealth in exchange!”

Carlos was shocked. He looked at him and said, “John, stop joking around…”

John held up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. He said with a cold smile, “I’m not joking!”

While the two of them were in a stalemate, a gorgeous girl appeared in the middle of them.

She saw Carlos and smiled widely. “Carlos, you’re here. I’ve been looking for you!”

Carlos saw her and asked in surprise, “Joyce, why are you here?”

The girl in front of him was called Joyce Godfrey. She was Jessica’s sister.

Carlos had been taking care of her all this time because of Jessica. Carlos and Joyce were very close.

Joyce shook her arm and said, “Of course, I’m here to see you!”

“Carlos, I’ve already graduated. I’m going to work at your company tomorrow.” Her tone was timid, and her dark eyes looked at Carlos with a strong sense of love.

Just like her sister, she also liked Carlos very much.

When Jessica and Carlos were together, she was miserable. She felt that her sister had stolen the man she loved from her.

Now that her sister had died three years ago and she had graduated, it was time for her to pursue Carlos.

She believed that as long as her brother-in-law spent more time with her, he would definitely fall in love with her.

Carlos said calmly, “You can look for my secretary!”

Joyce shook her head. “No, I want to be your secretary!”

“Stop fooling around!” Carlos pushed her away and said in a deep voice, “You can go back now. I have something to discuss with John!”

“If you want to talk, then go ahead. I can stay by your side. I won’t disturb you!”

“You…”

Erwin could not help but laugh when he saw the little girl trying to get close to Carlos. “Carlos, your luck with women is quite good!”

“There’s Jessica and Cassie, and now there’s Joyce s well.”

Erwin gave him a thumbs up and teased, “You really go live up to your name as a womanizer!”

Carlos glared at him. “Are you here just to tease me?” Carlos Reeves asked

“I’m just joking, haha!”

John ignored them and turned around to leave.

Carlos immediately stopped him. He looked at John and said, “John, Kathleen, and I were engaged in order to fulfill the wishes of our parents.”

“However, that was not the case anymore. I think that Kathleen is a very good girl.”

“I will marry her and love her. Don’t worry!”

When John heard this, his expression became even more unsightly. His cold eyes stared deeply at Carlos. “If you want the Reeves family to disappear from Hillford, then marry her!”

Carlos was stunned.

Erwin looked at John and Carlos and sighed helplessly. “Hey, what are you doing?”

“We’re all friends. Don’t fight over a woman!”

John ignored them. He snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

The moment he left, Joyce immediately said, “Carlos, what are you talking about? You are getting engaged to Kathleen?”

“You can’t get engaged to her. You’re mine. I like you!”

Carlos furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, “Stop messing around. I had paid your tuition fees for university because of your sister.”

“Now that you’ve graduated, you’re no longer under my jurisdiction. You should take care of yourselfl”

After saying this, Carlos left.

Joyce looked at his slender back and stomped her feet unhappily.

Why? She was clearly the one who fell in love with Carlos first. She had backed down because of her sister.

Now that her sister had been dead for three years, why was there another girl, Kathleen?

Carlos was hers. No one could take him away!

The cold winter was approaching. The weather was getting colder and colder.

The snowflakes were falling, pure and beautiful, and romantic.

Kathleen was on winter vacation, and she had a lot of free time.

However, although she had no classes, she was still in a hurry to take her wedding photos.

Carlos picked up Kathleen from the apartment lobby and brought her to the wedding dress shop.

In the wedding dress shop window were displays of all kinds of wedding dresses. Every one of them was very beautiful, very aesthetically pleasing.

Carlos looked at Kathleen and said, “Kathleen, are you ready? We’re going to take wedding photos!”

Kathleen did not say anything. A complicated light flashed across her black eyes.

During this period of time, there had been a lot of gossip regarding their engagement.

John had also tried his best to stop the two of them from getting engaged.

However, because Carlos and Kathleen had already made up their minds, the engagement party will continue.

Carlos smiled. “Kathleen, if you regret it, you can tell me. I support all your decisions!” Carlos said.

“No! Let’s go!”

She opened the door and entered the wedding dress shop.

John’s car was not far away. He stared at the backs of Kathleen and Carlos with his fists tightly clenched.

‘She actually went to take wedding photos with Carlos,’ he thought

Carlos entered the bridal shop and said to the shop assistant, “Take out your best and most expensive bridal gown!”

The shop assistant smiled widely. “Okay, I’ll go right away!”

She quickly took out a magnificent wedding dress from the innermost room.

She handed it to Kathleen and said, “Please take a look. What do you think of this wedding dress?”

The wedding dress in front of her princess-style gown. It had a deep V neckline and a large skirt. The cuffs were embroidered with very exquisite flowers.

The fabric was as soft as silk. Everyone could tell that it would not be cheap.

Carlos asked Kathleen, “How is it? Do you like it?”

Kathleen looked at the wedding dress with an indifferent expression. “This looks fine. I’ll Take

“Alright, then you can try and try it on!”.
