Chapter 143: Chen celebration banquet : The Plan (2)

The encounter with the girl sparked a tiny flame in Jinhai's heart. He didn't understand why but he just knew by instinct that he needed to find her. He wanted to know more about her. He felt like something will change if he meets her.

He felt utterly guilty of thinking selfishly even at his grandmother's deathbed. But he had made his choice.

The next day, as decided, Jinhai rejected her proposal.

"I'm sorry Grandma. I cannot do this. Please forgive me."

Only he knew how guilty he felt. He tried hard to say 'yes', but he just couldn't. His thoughts would always go back to that girl he met.

"Jinhai, How could you? Can't you respect my one last wish?", Grandma Liu couldn't believe it.

"Please don't force me, Grandma. I should leave now. Take rest."

Now she and Huian were at their wit's end. Huian felt as if her last hope also extinguished.

She felt like a fool looking at the marriage registration papers in her hand with her sign already on it.
