the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1028: He Is About to Marry This Bold, Eighteen-Year-Old Girl
The Shaw Family matriarch calmed her mood, lovingly gazing at her tall, handsome, and mature grandson. She reached out to shake his hand and choked as she said, "Speaking of kindness, I have felt indebted for years that I can’t sleep. You are willing to give up all the glory you risked your life for because of a promise to that girl, but what about my Crystal? Do you know that she lost both her parents when she was three?"
As the matriarch recalled the past, she suddenly felt overwhelmed, gently wiping her eyes. From her tightly locked drawer, she took out a photo album, opened it, and pointed to a photo of a refined and handsome middle-aged man, choking as she said, "This is Crystal’s father. He was a close friend of your father’s, and they grew up together, later each establishing their family and career. When Crystal was born, your father joked that if she were born a girl, she should be left for you as a wife. But such a scene lasted no more than three years before their family was ruined, leaving just this child alone."
"There are some things I originally did not want to tell you because I did not want you to bear too many burdens, but if you insist on marrying a woman who is not presentable because of kindness, then you should first read this document in its entirety before making a decision." The matriarch’s thin, large hand trembled slightly as she retrieved a yellowed document from the bottom of the drawer, which was completely sealed and untouched.
Richard Shaw reached out to take the document, still feeling the matriarch’s hand trembling as she hesitated, clutching one corner of the document about whether to let him see it.
Richard Shaw lowered his eyes, a deep gaze feeling the weight of the thin document in his hand, heavy enough to seemingly crush all aspects of his life, completely altering his existence.
"Read it, and after reading, make a decision. No matter what decision you make, Grandma will not stop you," the matriarch said, choking as she finished, picking up her handkerchief, and with some trembling, wiped the lingering traces from the corners of her eyes.
For so many years, this matter had always weighed heavily on her mind, initially intending to take it to her grave, but her grandson was unwilling.
Richard Shaw did not speak further, his slender fingers unpacked the sealed document, took out the contents, and began to read with a deep concentration. The content of the document was not extensive, yet it took the man more than twenty minutes to finish. After reading, he pressed the document firmly, with a hint of pain emerging from his usually emotionless, handsome visage.
Richard Shaw stood up, carefully re-folding each page of the document slowly and meticulously before placing them back into the envelope. Then, returning the document to the matriarch, he gently embraced her slender frame and said deeply, "Grandma, rest assured, I will take good care of her. As long as I am here, she will not suffer the slightest hardship."
Seeing him finally understanding her, nodding in agreement, the matriarch could not help but shed old tears, nodding as she said, "That’s good, I will find someone to choose a date for you two to get the certificate before you return to the Military District during your holiday."
Richard Shaw nodded and asked, "Do the Landon Family know about this matter?"
The matriarch shook her head and said, "This matter is known only by you and me; no third person knows."
Richard Shaw nodded, knowing it was enough for the Shaw Family.
After the matriarch fell asleep, Richard Shaw walked out of the room. In this brief half-hour, no one knew that his life trajectory had completely changed.
He was about to marry this eighteen-year-old girl, with an unabashed, flamboyant personality.
