CHAPTER 441: SETTING UP A CHARITY FUND
Olive gave him a fist, “Annoying. You even play deep words with me.”
“I’m telling the truth.” Even a strong determined person had their weak moment, let alone an infatuated man. Money and fame couldn’t shake him, and he could only be moved by affection. Although the process was quiet complicated and he was even treated rudely, but his trip wasn’t futile.
“You went to Paris on a business trip a few months ago, but it was actually for this, right?”
At that time, they had just gotten together. Her parents and friend didn’t know yet and everything was still a secret, but he had already started to prepare everything.
He always did things that touched her. Every woman had their little romantic dream. And he always took these romances to the extreme, carrying full of love to her.
“Looking for Gaston wasn’t a lie, and the business trip isn’t a disguise too. There are several international wedding dress designers who are as famous as Gaston. Everyone’s detailed information over the years had been sorted out by Dave in front of me. Gaston is the one who understands love the best among them, but unfortunately…”
The regret in his words surprised her a little, “What’s the matter?”
Alan said, “Unfortunately, I don’t know how to design. Otherwise, I’ll definitely design the most beautiful wedding dress in the world myself for you and make you be the happiest bride.”
Olive leaned her head on his shoulder and smiled softly, “Even if there’s no wedding dress, even if there’s no wedding, I think I’m already the happiest woman in the world.”
Happiness wasn’t in a form, but in the inner feelings.
Maybe to some people, this sounded like from someone who didn’t feel hurt. But for her, there was no such things. She had no complaints and regrets. If there were, then it was an icing on the cake.
She knew that he wanted to give her the best.
“Honey, thank you.”
“Silly girl. What’s the need to say thank to your husband? If you want to thank me, it’s better for you to kiss me.”
Olive immediately landed a kiss to his face. What a beautiful and sweet heart he had, like eating honey.
At the hotel’s door, he kissed her back, “I really want to take you around the world, ignoring all the mundane things.”
“But we’re still just ordinary people. So, Mr. Hoyle, bear with it. All the gods have to go through a certain training process and we’re still in it.” Olive smiled and waved at him.
When her figure disappeared from his sight, he took out his phone and dialed a number, “Is there any clues on Mr. Geve’s daughter?”
He didn’t want his wife to work so hard. But he also knew that if no one in the Geve would inherit this property, the burden of the Angel Holiday Hotel would fall heavily on her shoulders.
Kent sighed on the phone, “I’ve done a lot finding needle in a haystack, but it’s the first time to look for unknown and unnamed baby more than 20 years ago. Even if I found that cheating couple whom Norton Geve entrusted his daughter too, all the clues are ended on them. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Norton Geve who is blind as a bat. He couldn’t give to other people, but had to give those money-grubbing brats. Now is great. His daughter was left by them in front of the
hospital and left without a care. Don’t even know who had taken her away. We’re not even sure if she’s still alive.”
“Your stinky mouth can’t even say one good word.” He didn’t want the result he got in the end was death.
Kent dismissively said, “She’s not even your daughter. Why are you nervous?”
“A promise is a promise, and it must be kept,” Alan simply said.
Kent laughed so slyly, “Yeah, right. Don’t I know you? You’re just afraid your precious woman will be exhausted. You want to find this person quickly to share her burden.”
Alan didn’t deny, “Don’t forget your Janetta is now working at the Angel Hotel. She would rather work under other people than be your personal assistant. She now has a great relationship with my woman. If you want her to come home to you sooner, it’s better to find out the whereabouts of the Geve’s daughter for me as soon as possible. I can also make my woman say a few words in front of Janetta, otherwise, don’t blame me for damaging your image.”
“You evil man,” Kent gritted his teeth.
Naturally, it was a joke. The two were used to quarrel on their own. They both would laugh later. Who asked them to fall in the hands of women? So they always felt a bit of sympathy towards each other.
Alan returned to the subject, “Is there no other way?”
Kent said, “Not really. Luo City TV happens to have a program called In Search of Love, and the ratings are quite high. If Mr. Geve doesn’t mind his family’s skeleton to make known, he can do it. I reckon that if the girl is still alive, she’s most likely to be adopted by Luo City’s people. Family-seeking shows are the most efficient and broad. If not, you can also take a keepsake to show family connection and post a
notice in the newspaper. Of course, with the wealth of the old man, there may be bad people with bad intentions to falsely claim. But now there’s a technology called paternity testing, any ghosts and devils could see through her true form.”
Alan pondered for a second, “It’s not a bad idea, but I still have to consult with Mr. Geve.”
“What’s there to ask? If the old man wants to enjoy a family happiness for a few days in his lifetime, he has to use this method. And this method isn’t 100% effective. If that daughter of his resents him, hates him, and hides from him, not wanting to recognize him, we have no way out too.”
Alan thought that this wasn’t impossible too. If the girl lived comfortably at her adoptive parents’ house, thinking of their nurturing kindness was greater, perhaps she wouldn’t have the thought to acknowledge her real family. It was like what his woman said once, that it was impossible for her to take the initiative to find her real family. She had to take into account the feelings of her parents who had raised her for more than 20 years. Since the parents who gave birth to her had abandoned her since birth, that meant that she had lost the right to call them mother and father at the same time.
Wait. His woman…
Alan was stunned. Why did he never connect this matter with his woman?
Once this thought had formed in his head, it lingered, like a demon coiled around his heart and he was unable to ignore it.
God was playing a big joke with him. He didn’t want his wife to be the daughter of the Geve Family.
Kent realized he didn’t say a word for a long time. “Hello? What are you thinking?”
Alan snapped out of it from that strange thought, “Nothing. No matter what, as long as there’s a chance, we can try it. I’ll contact with the person in charge first and see if he’s willing to search on a
grand scale.”
“Alright. Call me when you’re fixed. I’ll arrange the next thing.”
As soon as Kent hung up the phone, he became full of thoughts. But on second thought, there wouldn’t be so many coincidences in the world.
Although his woman was tough with her mouth, she was a soft woman in her heart. She didn’t remember grudges easily, let alone to her biological parents. She and Mr. Geve had a good relationship despite a great age difference. She also knew about Mr. Geve’s body that time. If they were truly father and daughter, what was there not to be reason? holds © this.
But after the thought arose, it wasn’t easy to dispel the doubt. Really thinking back now, when it was just the beginning, she was even enthusiastically asking about the progress of the search. But after showing her the picture of the jade pendant, she seemed to become a little silent on this topic. It looked like he had to find a chance to ask his in-laws about the situation.
When Olive just arrived at her office, she hadn’t even sat still and she had received a call from Flora Fred who was teaching in the mountains.
“Olive, you’re too much. You’ve found someone who is rich and handsome to get married with yet don’t notify your sister. Are you afraid that my red pocket will be too small and embarrassed you?” she ranted and then added a heavy snort to express her anger. And she was very angry.
Flora Fred was a foreign in their group who was independent in mind and action. At that time, everyone thought she would study abroad with a scholarship, but she surprised everyone. She actually went to a poor country to play muddle with a group of children there. She stayed several years there.
Olive laughed, “Chloe told you.”
“If she didn’t tell me, are you planning to marry secretly? Or are you looking down at your poor friend?” Flora said viciously.
Of course, it was a fake. Could Olive still not know her temper?
“Isn’t it almost summer vacation? It’s not too late telling you when you return to the city.”
“Really?”
“Hey, it turns out that I’m such a not reliable person in your head. I’m getting angry.” Now, it was Olive’s turn to pretend to be upset.
“Who told you not to notify me at once?” Flora snorted childishly.
“I haven’t notified anyone. Some things aren’t finished yet and I’m not sure if it’ll be rescheduled.” So she was truly treated unjustly.
“Don’t tell me that there may be any arguments between you two,” Flora couldn’t help but worried.
Although she was deep in the mountains, it didn’t mean that she was isolated from the world. Every weekend, she would regularly follow the folks walking to a town which was more than 20 miles away to check on the internet, seeing what happened in the world beyond the mountains and forests.
The matter of Olive and Alan was buzzing on the internet. She didn’t expect this lass had hidden it that deep. She was shocked when she just opened it.
Nowadays, there were various versions circulating on the internet, true and false, but they were all romance without exception. Fortunately, she had the most reliable source of information. From Chloe’s phone calls and emails, she basically had understood the entire five years love story.
She had wondered how this lass could easily get so many donations to her in the first place which turned out to be the work of the secret guy.
“I hope everything goes well,” Olive sighed a little.
“Don’t listen to me. I’m still waiting to be your bridesmaid with Chloe. You can’t leave me behind.”
“Then come back quick when it’s holiday. Basically, I can only see you during the winter and summer vacations in a year. Come back earlier this time for us three sisters to have a get-together.”
“I won’t leave after I come back this time. I’ll annoy you every day since then that I’m afraid that man of yours will kick me out with his glare.”
Olive was taken aback for a moment before shouting, “Seriously? Are you really going to stay after you come back?”
