Chapter 385 Getting Over You


    Five years passed quickly. Spring had juste, and the weather was chilly. The maids were so busy


    that they were walking around the house.


    Henry stood in the kitchen and asked them, “Why are you in such a rush? Take it easy!”


    He then noticed Jennie washing vegetables in the yard and asked, frowning, “Why are you cooking


    again, Jennie? You don’t have to do that. There are plenty of servants here.”


    Jennie raised her head, smiled softly, and said, “It’s fine, I have nothing else to do, anyway. Ryan is


    coming back, so I’m going to make him his favorite dish.”


    Henry sighed and exined, “I get lonely at times. Ryan lives on the army base, and Wayne frequently


    goes on business trips with Matthew. Natalie is studying abroad, and Peter hardly ever walks around.


    You’re the only one I can meet every day here.”


    Jennie smiled sweetly and said, “The kids have grown up and have their own lives. Besides, they’re all


    returning today. Ryan mentioned that he’s bringing Emily back. If Peter knows about this, he will be


    delighted.”


    Henry’s eyes shone brightly. He asked, “Is Ryan bringing Miss Lewis back? That’s fantastic! Peter has


    been looking forward to him getting married because Wayne is unlikely to marry again. I’m going to tell


    him right now!”

    With that, Henry dashed off to Peter’s yard to break the good news to ‘384 Getting Over You him.


    Jennie smiled and continued to cook. She knew her children’s lives were in their own hands, and she


    wouldn’t meddle in their lives. However, Peter was getting older and needed something to hold onto, so


    he always cared too much about their lives.


    Ryan and Emily had been dating for a long time. However, they were both living in the army and rarely


    returned home at the same time. Although they had never mentioned that they would get married the


    Wrights had already regarded Emily as Ryan’s fiancée.


    At night, the family gathered for dinner, which had been a long time since they had done sost time.


    As for Natalie, she was still abroad and did not show up. Peter was so delighted that he had the maid


    fill his wine ss.


    Seeing that, Ryan frowned and said, “Grandpa, the doctor said you can’t drink. Maybe you can have


    some tea.”


    “I’ll just drink a little, it’s no big deal.” Peter had always been adamant about his decisions. There was


    nothing anyone could do to stop him from drinking.


    Ryan gave Matthew, who sat across from him, a wink. Getting his hint, Matthew said, “Great-grandpa, if


    you have one drink today and one drink tomorrow, our cer will be empty.”


    Everyoneughed when they heard that.


    Matthew was eleven, and he looked quite handsome in his Burberry id vest. He was still a child, but


    his gaze was determined as if he had been through a lot. He resembled his father in appearance.


    Peter froze and eximed, “Why are you so worried about the wine? You should be as concerned


    about my health as Ryan is.”


    “You know your health better than anyone else. I don’t need to remind you that you’re still waiting for


    Ryan to marry and have children!” ‘384 Getting Over You


    Ryan immediately red at Matthew. Matthew, on the other hand, pretended not to notice his gaze. He


    thought, Ryan, you’re the one who gave me the wink and asked me to persuade my great-grandfather.


    You gave me this hot potato, so I’m giving it back to you.


    Peter paused for a long moment before setting his ss down. He told Ryan, “You and Emily should


    definitely get married. You’ve been busy recently, but you’ll be busy after you get married, So, you


    should get married right away.”


    “Lonly have three days off, Grandpa. Will you let us have the wedding tomorrow or the next day?”


    “I didn’t say that you two should hold the wedding right away. You only need to give me the exact date.


    Then I’ll arrange your wedding. You don’t have to worry about anything; all you have to do is attend


    your wedding.”


    Hearing that, Ryan and Emily looked at each other, both resigned. Ryan said, “The problem is, we both


    can’t really settle on an exact time. We’re about to be sent on a mission, and we have no idea when


    we’ll return home. Emily left for a symposium two days ago, and I have no idea where she went. We


    both were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Neither of us will know when the other is going


    on a mission, let alone when both of us would be avable.”


    They used this reason to turn down Peter numerous times. Unhappily, Peter said, “Can’t all military


    people get married? Can | still attend my grandchildren’s weddings before | die?”


    No one said anything, and everyone knew who Peter was referring to. Wayne had rarely returned


    home in recent years. Even when he returned, he would leave right after he finished dinner. He was


    even more reserved than before and less chatty than Matthew. ‘384 Getting Over You


    Jennie realized Wayne was also upset, so she said, “Dad, the kids are now adults. They have the


    freedom to decide when they want to get married, or if they want to get married at all.”


    Peter became even more enraged and eximed, “I raised him, so he owes me at least some of my


    wishes. He cannot simply do whatever he wants!”


    Jennie came to a halt, knowing she couldn’t persuade Peter. Wayne ced his fork firmly on the table


    at that moment. “Don’t get me wrong, but I’ve been dating ording to your arrangement,” he said


    calmly.


    Peter’s eyes widened as he eximed, “You have no right to bring that up! After they go out with you,


    every girlins to me about you! Why would you say something like that to them?”


    Henry whispered to Peter, “Let’s talk about thister. Don’t forget that Miss Lewis is still here! You don’t


    want to embarrass her, do you?” Peter couldn’t control his anger just now. However, he sat down


    anyway after hearing this. He paused and looked at Ryan and Emily. Jennie immediately said, “Well,


    stop fighting. Try the salmon | made. Emily, do you think it’s good?”


    Emily took a bite of the salmon, smiled, and said, “Mmm, this is delicious! My mom loves to make


    salmon, too. Why don’t you two get together sometime?”


    “Allright, I happen to be free these days.”


    “So does my mom!”


    They talked and tried to lighten the mood. Peter refrained from losing his cool because Emily was


    present. But after a while, he left, saying he wasn’t feeling well.


    After Peter left, Wayne asked Ryan how he was doing. He then left 384 Getting Over You


    without eating, taking Matthew with him. Then Jennie exhaled a sigh.


    Emily winked at her and assured her, “It’s all right, Jennie; we’re still here. Ryan and | enjoy eating your


    food.”


    Jennie said with a smile, “Thank you, Emily. You’re so sweet. Peter has a bad temper, and he always


    fights with Wayne. Actually, he’s just worried about Wayne.”


    Emily asked, perplexed, “Why is he worried? Wayne’s son is already in his adolescence, so who cares


    if Wayne’s married or not? He has everything, in my opinion.”


    Ryan said, “Grandpa is not forcing Wayne to get married. He just doesn’t want him to keep getting


    caught up in the past. Or, Wayne will be sad for the rest of his life.”


    Emily paused for a moment before asking, “You mean, Grandpa is worried that Wayne will never get


    over Anna?
