Chapter 490

Tears slowly welled up in her eyes. Touching her cheek with her fingertips, she felt a chill.

It turns out that I still remember how to cry. I'm actually crying for him now.

Then, she heard a series of taps on the car window. The man who was supposed to be on the front steps had now gone next to the car and knocked on the window before him.

Victoria drew a deep breath to suppress swarms of emotions roiling inside her, unbuckled the seatbelt, and got out of the car.

“Let's head inside to register our marriage. Today might be my father's last day in this world, and he's waiting to see our marriage certificate.”

When Victoria walked past Lionel, he grabbed her.

The man before her looked haggard. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was skinner than before.

His odd behavior began two days ago after he met her father.

What exactly did they talk about that day?

“Vicky,” said Lionel. His voice was weak and hoarse. “If you're not willing to marry me, we can end the marriage any time after getting the certificate. I don't want you to be angry or torment yourself with your emotions.”

Victoria shot him an icy glare after hearing that. “That won't be necessary. We'll maintain the marriage because I'm not willing to lie to a man who is dying soon. If we terminate our marriage the moment Father leaves this world, I doubt he can rest in peace. I haven't been a good daughter to him, and I don't want to fail him anymore.” Her tone was flat and indifferent.

Pursing his lips, Lionel was hesitant to speak.

He wanted to tell her about the blood feud between the Gezmond family and the Saunders family and promise her that he would watch over her for the rest of his life to atone for his sin, but those words remained at the tip of his tongue, refusing to go past his lips.

At this point, Victoria was losing her patience. After breaking free from his grip, in a cold-clipped tone, she said, “Do you still plan to get the marriage certificate? If so, cut the crap. If not, please inform me so that I may stop wasting my time here.”

With that, she scurried to the front step.

Her words made Lionel clench his fists, which were by his side, a few times. Finally, he followed behind her.
