Hopefully, I'll make it there in time.
Meanwhile, the Jackson family's bridal procession was already on the way back.
The Jackson family resided in the city of Zaprington, which was one hour away by boat from the Schmidt family's home on Hishwick Island.
Chanaea had built a highway to connect the island to the mainland, but the Jackson family ran a huge shipping business with a presence in ports around the globe.
Naturally, they decided to use a luxurious cruise ship to pick Marilyn up from Hishwick Island and bring her back to Zaprington.
Despite the sudden change in date, the Schmidt family agreed readily as they knew the Jackson family had a reason for doing so. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
They dressed Marilyn up and allowed the Jackson family to take her with them.
In truth, the Schmidt family thought it was a good thing that Franklin fell severely ill.
Bobby Jackson was the only offspring of his father, so upon Franklin's passing, Bobby was set to receive the entirety of his assets.
Marilyn would be the mistress of the Jackson family once she married him.
Her union with Bobby would benefit the Schmidt family.
Marilyn only got the chance to text Isabella after she boarded the ship.
Despite Marilyn's initial hesitancy to marry Bobby, she was aware that Isabelle would likely divorce Harold to make way for them to be together, particularly since she had been intimate with Harold.
If Marilyn were to marry somebody else, however, Isabella and Harold wouldn't get into a fight over her.
She had no idea that Isabella and Harold were already divorced.
Marilyn was alone in her extravagant room on the cruise ship, her eyes fixated on a photo of Harold.
She had snapped this photo of him at the Horington restaurant without his knowledge.
Back then, Marilyn thought Harold was flirting with girls as Isabella wasn't around.
Now that she thought about it, she knew Harold would never betray Isabella even though the girl in this photo looked quite pretty, not with how deeply in love he was with Isabella.
Ah, if only you weren't the man Bella likes. I'll definitely elope with you even if my family threatens to disown me!
A sudden thought crossed her mind as she was gazing at Harold's side profile.
Marilyn had always scoffed at the idea that a woman would never forget her first man, but in the end, she realized that it was true.
She wasn't certain of when it began, but ever since she left Dellmoor, Harold's handsome face kept randomly appearing in her thoughts.
Sometimes, she would even feel jealous whenever she recalled how much Harold adored Isabella.
On occasion, she would bemoan her bad luck for not having the opportunity to become acquainted with Harold before Isabella.
It had even occurred to her that she should try to snatch Harold from Isabella.
Of course, that was just a thought that she quickly dismissed.
She would never resort to any kind of underhanded tactics to get her best friend's husband.
Despite having feelings for him, she wanted him to be happy.
As of now, she knew he would be happy with Isabella.
Thus, she agreed to marry into the Jackson family so they wouldn't feel burdened anymore.
Suddenly, Isabella sent her a voice message through WhatsApp.
“Marilyn, I still cannot forget the God of War, and because of that, I have already divorced Harold. He's on his way to you, so you two can elope overseas!”
Marilyn was stunned to hear that.
Without warning, her heart skipped a beat.
