Chapter 270
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 270 Holding Arielleâs hand, Vinson declared, âActually, itâs not quite appropriate to mention this matter today, but Iâm the kind of person who doesnât like to delay anything, including marriage.â
Taken aback, Henrick repeated his words with eyes as wide as saucers. âIncluding marriage? Whatâ¦
do you mean by that?â
Glancing at Arielle, Vinson replied, âMr. Southall, Iâd like to marry Arielle, so I came here with her to get her household registry.â
Henrick was instantly stupefied. Likewise, the help who heard that from the side were all struck dumb.
Without waiting for him to gather his wits about him, Vinson continued, âIâm planning to register my marriage with Sannie today. The wedding will be held later when we both have the time to do so. After all, preparations are needed for a wedding. I want to give Sannie a grand wedding when all preparations have been made. I wonder if youâll agree to us getting married, Mr. Southall?â
While Henrick was still dazed, words had already escaped from his mouth. âOf course!â
Of course, I agree! My greatest dream is to have Arielle marry into the Nightshire family so that I can also benefit from it! Why would I possibly object? Iâve even had several dreams where I wanted to move City Hall right before them both!
Snapping back to his senses from the great surprise, Henrick ecstatically exclaimed, âIâll get the household registry for the two of you right away!â
âDad! Arielle grabbed Henrick, her face a mask of worry. âWhen we made this decision, we didnât expect Shandie to suddenly pass away today... Wouldnât it be inappropriate for us to register our marriage at such a time?â
She wasnât just pretending to be a sensible daughter in front of Henrick in making that remark, but it was also for the sake of her reputation.
After all, the fact that she registered her marriage on the day her sister passed away would tarnish her reputation if it were to get out.
âNo, no, of course not!â Henrick waved his hand fervently. âItâs impossible for the dead to come back to life, but the living has to continue with their lives! Iâll go and get the household registry for you both!
When your sister has been buried and several days have passed, Iâll find a time to announce this good news to everyone!â
As he spoke, he couldnât even fake sorrow anymore. He rushed up the stairs with jubilance written all over his face. In no time, he handed the household registry to Arielle.
Of course, he didnât forget to hand them the two monetary gifts he had just prepared. Taking their hands, he asserted, âGo and have your marriage registered and live happily ever after.â
âThank you, Dad!â Arielle flashed him a sweet smile. With the household registry in hand, she then left with Vinson.
As Henrick gazed at their interlinked hands, utter elation was etched on his face. His exhilaration right then was beyond words.
He couldnât help exclaiming, âGod is really good to me!â
Although Iâve lost a daughter, God gave me an affluent sonâinâlaw! When I think about it that way, God is really good to me! When the funeral ends, I can soon host a wedding. At that time, everyone in Jadeborough will have to look up to me, the fatherâinâlaw of Vinson Nightshire!
Glimpsing the joy on his face, the new butler hesitantly went up to him and asked, âMr. Southall⦠are we having a funeral or a wedding now?â
The newly appointed butler was rather dense, and he was Arielleâs choice of candidate.
Ultimately, nothing good ever came out of appointing someone too smart as the butler. Conversely, an idiotic person wouldnât be able to go against his master.
Henrickâs expression changed drastically, and he stared at the new butler coldly. âOf course, weâre having a funeral when Shandie has just passed away! What nonsense are you spouting?â
Stricken, the new butler stammered, âYes, yes, of course! I was just spouting nonsenseâ¦â
