Chapter 621: Impossible Things For Her
As soon as Kenzie and Daryl left the room, Jack looked at Butler Mark and amusingly said, "My request is very selfish and biased at the same time right? I wonder what Daryl would be thinking right now.
He probably thinks how this old man could be so cunning and manipulative tricking him into marrying his daughter for his surgery. Haha… Or probably he thinks Kenzie and I teamed up on this together. But I'm not worried since I'm sure my daughter can handle him enough."
"You did not force him, Master Jack. It was him who said he will do it when he could actually disagree with the idea. I too believe that Miss Kenzie has succeeded in winning the young man's heart. Very soon those two will definitely live in harmony as a married couple. You just played a catalyst and easily accelerated the slow process they were going through, Master Jack," Butler Mark voiced out his opinion.
Jack nodded then heaved a long sigh of relief. He could not help but be greedy before going in for that surgery. He looked at Butler Mark and said, "Did Cris prepare everything?"
"Yes, it's all arranged and Cris will call and inform Daryl by now that she would handle everything…" Butler Mark said with a grin.
"Tomorrow, I can finally be at peace having no regrets looking back once the surgery started… I only hope God grants my request for another year seeing my grandchildren Mark," Jack murmured, having a glint of hope in his eyes.
"I'm sure you will Master Jack. You will even witness those future grandchildren grow. Just stay strong, Master Jack. We all are waiting for your return…" Butler Mark cheered and Jack chuckled.
Meanwhile, inside the car, Kenzie suspiciously looked at Daryl who was driving her back home when his mobile phone rang. He put it on speaker mode.
"Attorney Cha, it's me Cris, personal assistant of Senior Chua and Miss Kenzie. I called to inform you that I will take care of everything for tomorrow's event so you and Miss Kenzie can just relax and rest well later to attend the wedding ceremony tomorrow morning. I will also handle your suit and a team will arrive tomorrow morning to bring the suits you can choose from," Cris explained from the other line.
"Thanks Cris but I think it's not needed. I mean I can get a ready made suit tomorrow…" Daryl said but paused when Kenzie put her hand on his arm and gently squeezed it.
"Cris, it's okay. Bring what's needed to Daryl tomorrow morning. You can end the call now," Kenzie interrupted.
"Noted ma'am. Have a safe trip to home," Cris added.
"Thanks Cris Bye."
Daryl was quiet as soon as the call ended. Kenzie sighed, feeling embarrassed. She now could confirm that it was a plan of her father beforehand and Daryl fell prey for it.
She looked at Daryl and another sigh came out of her mouth before she spoke.
"Don't you feel it? I mean everything is planned out obviously with Cris calling you that she will handle everything? I'm sure she has already prepared everything in advance.
Just to inform you, I'm definitely innocent about it. I don't know anything about it at all," she defended. Her father was obviously still quietly monitoring her every move and he probably saw an opportunity to bring up the marriage he wanted from her.
"You sound so defensive right now when I'm not even commenting or saying a thing negatively," Daryl simply answered.
Kenzie pouted her lips and sat properly on her seat before replying, "Well, I am defensive because I want to know what you are thinking. I mean I still respect your decision and your free will to choose whatever you like. Even though I like the idea and know that it's a biased request from my father… Still… I don't want to put you in the spot like that. Marriage is a different thing since it's a lifetime decision. At least for me…
So I don't want to rush you on things as important as marriage. How about we just do the marriage ceremony at the church and you take care of the process of getting the certificate? You can register it or not as you please… That way you have your freedom to choose. My dad will not find out about it anyway. His only concern is to walk me down the aisle. You know a father seeing his daughter off to her man…"
Kenzie commented. She understood her father's request well. She knew her father was worried that post surgery he might not wake up in a good state, and if that happens he would not be then able to send his only daughter off properly when she was married.
She smiled because her father knew her so well. Her father knew that she would succeed in winning over Daryl soon just that he wanted to speed up the process for her, helping her out somehow.
She turned and looked at Daryl intently. At that point of time, she could not read him at all since he was expressionless and it seemed like he was too focused on driving.
'Is he ignoring me?' she mused since there was no response from Daryl except that unbreakable silence.
She heaved a sigh as she waited for him to say something.
"Give me the certificate tomorrow and I will handle it accordingly. For now, let's focus more on pleasing your father Kenzie. Let's give him whatever he wants before the surgery. You see, witnessing your loved ones being sick is very hard, and if I am in the same position as you… I will do anything to please him since he's an important person in your life. It's hard to have regrets later…" Daryl whispered.
He himself could recall his own experience as he witnessed his mother on her deathbed. He wanted to please her and do everything she wanted… whatever her request was… Seeing her smile… despite the struggle, to live is the only thing that's giving him comfort that he was willing to do even the most impossible things for her, up to her last moment…
