Chapter 973
When Dexter arrived, Heather was in the midst of directing the proceedings within the crowd. Despite
her fatigue, her face was filled with excitement.
udia was also present, apanying Heather.
“Ms. Hadey.” Dexter nodded his head in acknowledgment, his expression indiscernible.
Upon seeing him, udia gave him a once-over, then nodded thoughtfully. “I’m d you coulde,”
she said. “Leanne will be very happy too.”
Dexter followed her gaze, saying nonchntly, “As it should be.”
When he spoke, it was as if he was merely handling a routine matter, devoid of any emotion.
udia stood by his side. “Would you consider me as an elder who has watched you grow up?”
“Of course I do.”
“Let me give you a piece of advice,” udia said with meaningfully. “There are some people and things
that you should let go when it’s time. You’vee this far. Who knows if a misfortune might turn out to
be a blessing? Leanne is not bad at all.”
Dexter pursed his lips without responding. Just then, Heather spotted him, her face lighting up in. She
darted through the crowd, wearing a vibrant smile. “Dax, you got here so quickly.”
Dexter’s expression was calm, hisrge hand gently resting on top of her head. “Of course, I can’t let
you handle all this by yourself.”
Heather’s smile broadened with bliss as she led him forward. “Let me run you through the process.
Tomorrow, we will walk down this path together.”
udia stood behind them, watching the retreating figures of the two young people with a faint smile.
Just then, someone approached and whispered something in her ear, triggering a change in her
expression. She nced at Dexter’s silhouette before leaving. “Let’s talk outside.”

Dexter had rarely shown such patience before. He apanied Heather through the majority of the
process, and thetter was exceptionally pleased.
“Why are you always staring at me with that silly smile?” He took the water handed to him by the
attendant, unscrewing the cap for her.
“Because you’re handsome, Dax,” Heather didn’t hide her feelings. “I’ve never felt this happy before.
You’re about to be my husband.”
“Are you happy that I’m going to be your husband?”
“Of course.”
“However, there are many negativements from the outside world. They say that I, being a
divorcee, am not worthy of you,” he said calmly.
“I never thought of it in that way,” Heather threw herself into Dexter’s arms. “In my heart, you’ve merely
taken the wrong path. Since I love you, I can ept anything.”
She tilted her head back. “Moreover, I don’t think your previous marriage was a disgrace. Ms. Warren…
is a very good person after all.”
Dexter stared into her eyes, not detecting the slightest hint of insincerity within them.
He fell silent, then after a moment, he curved his lips into a smile. “You are indeed considerate.”
Heather’s smile became even more radiant.
“By the way, will Summer being tomorrow?”
When he suddenly asked this, Heather’s smile stiffened abruptly. “She’s still ill, so she probably won’t
being. Why do you ask?”
“Your brother-inw, who was also your former boss, there’s news about him.”
Arnold! Heather tried his best to stay calm, probing, “What’s the news?”
“The police said that he wasst seen in Rivodia before he disappeared. He should still be there,
having not strayed too far.” Dexter spoke calmly, taking a sip of water. “Since Summer isn’ting,
please ry this message to her on my behalf.”
Heather furrowed her brows, lost in deep thought. Dexter took note of this. “Leanne?”
She quickly regained herposure. “Ah, alright. I’ll ry the message when I get back. However,
Dax, how many years would Arnold be sentenced to for such a crime?”
“How many years? Does he still have a chance ofing out?” Dexter found it amusing. “He’ll
probably get twenty years at least for being an essory to a crime.”
Heather’s pupils slightly contracted.
