It was evening.Darryl’s head was sweating as he carried bags full of items back to the Carter Mansion.He bought a lot of wedding supplies such as candles, lanterns, and clothes.Darryl carried those stuff and quickly jogged back to the mansion as he did not have much time left with Yvonne and had to make good use of every second with her.As Darryl approached the room, he saw Sara walking toward him.“Bro!” Sara called out and smilingly asked, “why did you buy so much stuff? What are they? Are these gifts for me?”Sara was happy to hear from the housekeeper that Darryl had returned, thus she went looking for him.Darryl put on a smile and said, “I’m getting married today and these are the wedding supplies.”“Wow, you’re getting married!”Sara was stunned and excitedly said, “Will there be many guests? I’m sure it’ll be super lively!”Darryl bit his lip and shook his head. “I don’t like when it’s lively. No one knows about this wedding except for you.”Sara jumped with joy
“Don’t bring up this upsetting incident anymore,” said Yvonne upon hearing Darryl’s words.Darryl was the only person Yvonne wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Her previous wedding with Jeremy had been annulled.Smack.Darryl came to his senses and quickly slapped himself on the face. “I’m such a fool, I deserve to be punished.”‘I shouldn’t have brought up that unhappy incident!’ Darryl thought.Yvonne felt bad and quickly held onto Darryl’s arm. “You dummy, why did you hit yourself?”She caressed Darryl’s face and was worried. “Does it hurt?”Darryl shook his head and smiled. “Not one bit. How could I be willing to injure my handsome face?”Darryl’s words made Yvonne laugh.At that moment, Darryl pointed toward the wedding gowns and said, “Look, which one do you like?”Yvonne nodded as she smiled and chose her favorite dress which Darryl quickly brought over and carefully helped her put it on. Darryl was instantly dumbfounded when Yvonne wore the wedding gown.Yvon
“Alright, I won’t cry, I won’t cry…” Yvonne wiped her tears and said with a smile, “Alright then, let’s start the wedding ceremony.”“Great!” Darryl held Yvonne’s hand and slowly stood up.At that moment, Sara had finished nicely and splendidly decorating the room.Sara was happy to see the couple had already knelt. “Are you guys starting the ceremony? That’s great, I’ll be your witness!”Sara finished her words and energetically walked toward the couple while joyfully exclaimed, “We gather here today for the marriage between my brother and Miss Yvonne. May you be blessed with joy and happiness with the Heavens bearing witness… First bow to the Heavens and Earth!”Darryl and Yvonne smiled at each other and bowed with their hands intertwined.Sara then exclaimed, “The second bow as a respect to the Elders!”The couple then faced toward Donghai City and bowed.At that moment, Darryl could feel Yvonne’s body trembling as if trying to control her emotions. Yvonne was the Young fami
“Sure!” Darryl nodded. At least there was hope, however small it was.Susan sighed as she bit her lip. “Also, I can tell you how to save her, but you have to promise me something.” At that, she looked a little conflicted.“Auntie Susan, anything,” Darryl replied without hesitation, nodding.Susan sighed before she looked at Darryl seriously. “This is about when Rachel tricked you into the peach blossom forest. I don’t want you to tell your godfather. Never mention this again.”So, it was about this incident.“I promise you, I’ll never speak of it again,” Darryl agreed immediately, he nodded. Doing this was nothing compared to Yvonne’s life. Susan smiled. “Great. I’ll tell you. This lady’s essence has been absorbed using the Dark Method. The Dark Method is an ancient, thousand-year-old cultivation method from the New World. Perhaps someone skilled from the New World might be able to help her.“If you bring her to the New World, perhaps there might still be a chance. However, she
“Darryl, after all that, you still want me to help you? Have you gone mad?” Yvette asked coldly.Darryl was so anxious he was sweating profusely as he said, “Yvette, I know you’re still angry with me. I shouldn’t have treated you that way at the Formation. I’m sorry, but I really need your help desperately. As long as you help me, I’ll do anything!” His voice was hoarse as he was almost yelling. Beads of sweat were dripping from his head.Yvette was elated. “Say, what can I help you with?”“I have a friend, and her essence was absorbed. Do you have a way to heal her?” Darryl asked, hopefully.‘What? Her essence was absorbed?’ Yvette contemplated. Yvette raised her eyebrows. “Was it by the Dark Method?” There was only one cultivation method that absorbed a human’s essence. The manual was always kept in the palace’s library. Due to its insidious nature, her father banned anyone from cultivating the Dark Method.“Yes! Can you save her?” Darryl asked eagerly.Yvette could sense h
Three hours later, Yvette finally arrived at the Carter Mansion. She was in awe at how luxurious it was. The Carter mansion had an antique, heritage feel to it. The surrounding view was stunning, it was obvious that they were wealthy.“There were rumors that Zoran accepted you as his godson. It looks like it was true,” she chuckled at Darryl. She could not help but exclaimed, “Also, the Carters are clearly very wealthy. This is a great mansion.”Darryl, who does not have the mood for exchanging pleasantries, forced a smile and led her to the inner court.When they entered the room, Yvette was stunned as she saw Yvonne on the bed. She asked, “The person you want to save is her?” Though Yvonne had not been to the Hexad School recently, Yvette still recognized Yvonne as she was the Young family’s heiress and a famous person in school.Yvonne could not wait for Darryl to return, she fell into a deep sleep.“Yes. Please, hurry,” Darryl urged and nodded.Yvette took her time. She s
“Remember, you owe me one,” Yvette said. She waved her hand and said, “Ok. I’m leaving.” Then she turned and left the Carter Mansion.That night, Darryl slept on the floor, watching over Yvonne. He was afraid if he slept on the bed, he might accidentally touch the needles in his sleep.He did not sleep well, the floor was hard and cold. The next day, with dark circles around his eyes, he brought Yvonne back to Donghai City. On the journey, he called Zephyr and instructed him to lead his men and search for a cure for Yvonne.It was noon when Darryl brought Yvonne back home and realized that no one was home upon entering the hall. He brought her straight to the bedroom, feeling slightly conflicted as he was not sure if Lily would be upset with him bringing Yvonne home. Thinking of Lily, he quickly called her. She picked up the call shortly, sounding excited. “Hubby! You finally called! Where have you been for the past two days?”Lily has not heard from Darryl for the past few da
‘What? This man’s her husband?’ the men thought as they looked at Darryl with envy and disgust. They felt an invisible punch to their ego.Lily ignored the glares as she held onto Darryl’s hand and smiled. “Hubby, you know Circe, of course, I won’t need to introduce her to you. This is Evelyn Featherstone, she’s Circe’s friend. She participated in the Lion Slaughtering Conference. If I recall correctly you two competed against each other.” Lily introduced Evelyn without realizing that Evelyn and Darryl had known each other for a long time! Evelyn was seething with rage as she looked at Lily in surprise and asked, “Lily, he’s your husband?” When Evelyn first met Lily, she thought Lily was pretty and kind. Who knew such a kind girl would marry an assh*le! Life was unfair! Lily was stunned as she laughed, “You two know each other?” “No one wants to know him! He’s a piece of cow dung!” Evelyn pursed her lips.Lily felt awkward from her reply. She glared at Darryl. Her husband was
