Chapter 868 Like His Deceased Relative
The door was tightly closed. It was the first time that he had been shut out of the He Family. Because of this, he was almost sure that his parents-in-law had known that he and Michelle had gotten the marriage certificate.
In the face of the doubts of Vicente and Barbie, he coughed awkwardly. The next second, he looked calm as if nothing had happened, saying, "It doesn't matter."
Barbie frowned slightly. "This is not the way to entertain guests."
Leon said, "It's normal for my parents-in-law to be angry. I took their precious daughter away."
"Parents-in-law?" Vicente didn't know that and Leon and Michelle had gotten the marriage certificate.
Barbie didn't know it either. She looked at Leon with a complicated expression in her eyes, thinking that Leon really loved that girl.
That girl was lucky.
"Yes." A smile appeared on the corner of Leon's mouth. He didn't intend to hide the fact that Michelle was already his wife from anyone. He couldn't help but announce to the whole world that Michelle was his woman. "We've got the marriage certificate." There was a dead silence....... Vicente was so shocked that he stood up straight. The prince of C Island was married, but no one knew such a sensational news. He then looked at Barbie. Although he remained calm on his face, his eyes were still filled with shock. Barbie didn't know it either!
The news really shocked him and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Act first and report later?" Vicente asked.
"I don't want to do that, either." Leon looked helpless. "But I have no choice. I can't wait anymore."
He looked at the closed door and said, "My parents-in-law should have known about it, so they are so angry. Anyway, Michelle is my wife, and I'm willing to bear their anger."
Vicente swallowed and finally found his tongue. "I'm impressed this time."
Leon was so brave.
Vicente didn't have the courage to do that, so Noah suffered a lot.
It took Barbie a while to accept the news. She only took a quick glance at Michelle at the banquet at her home. Michelle was like a fairy in a beautiful dress.
Usually, Michelle was always clinging to Leon. If they couldn't see each other, they would talk on the phone all the time. Occasionally, Barbie could hear Michelle's sweet and soft voice, which was really pleasing and delightful.
If Leon was an ordinary person, their relationship would be a good thing, but...
Looking at Leon with a complicated look in her eyes, Barbie kept silent for a while and said, "I'll knock on the door again."
"I can do it myself." Leon raised his hand and knocked on the door for two times. Then the door opened again.
This time, it was Adams who opened the door. He was always kind and reasonable, but now there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes when he looked at Leon. He glanced at the gifts in the hands of the two people behind Leon and frowned deeper. He didn't let Leon in.
With a warm smile on his face, Leon said, "My dear father-in-law..."
"Leon, we don't agree to your marriage." Adams made it clear, "Don't come again."
He then slammed the door.
After being refused for two times, a hint of worry appeared in Leon's eyes. Would he be able to see his wife again?
"What should we do now?" Vicente asked gloatingly.
Leon cast a sidelong glance at him and said calmly, "Go back to the North Yard first."
They put down the gifts on the floor, turned around and left. Through the peephole, Adams saw their receding figures. He turned around and said to his wife, who was kneading the dough with a filthy mood. "They are gone." Elaine said angrily, "That's good."
On the way, Vicente suddenly felt a sense of familiarity when he thought of the silver haired old woman.
"Leon, is that Mimi's grandmother?"
"Yes." Noticing Vicente's frown, Leon asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Vicente asked, "Her biological grandma? Where is she from?"
Leon nodded, "Yes. But I don't know where she is from. This is the first time I've seen her grandma. I only saw her in the photos before."
"It's strange." Looking at Leon, Vicente wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he spoke out his guess. "I think she looks familiar."
Leon raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating Vicente to continue.
"I think... Mimi's grandmother looks like my grandfather very much." Vicente narrowed his eyes and said, "Like my grandfather's deceased sister."
These words sounded incredible, but the more Vicente thought about it, the more he felt that they were alike, especially their eyes.
And they were the same age.
However, his grandfather's sister had passed away. Her memorial tablet was placed in the ancestral hall of the clan, and it was covered with dust. Her only portrait left was also covered with dust. No one would remember her except Vicente's family.
The dead lady mentioned by Vicente must have been forgotten by the world, but Leon had heard of her.
She used to be a countess admired by a lot of people in C Island, but fate played cruel tricks on her. She died of illness at the age of more than 20 and vanished without a trace in this world.
But Michelle's grandmother... Wait...
Mona Nangong.
Mona Nan...
What a coincidence. And the name on the photo was smeared.
An absurd idea came to Leon's mind all of a sudden. It was so ridiculous. Leon then opened the window and the cold wind blew towards him.
Vicente said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much. She had passed away a long time ago, and my grandpa has only one sister."
"When she passed away, your father was just a child. How could you have such a deep impression on her?" Leon asked curiously.
Vicente said, "My mother told me about it. She likes to tell me some stories about my father when her mental conditions were stable. My grandfather has two sons in total. One is my uncle and the other is my father. My father is not close to my grandfather, but was close to my grandfather's sister.
So Grandpa has always been bad to my father, and even to me. He is partial to Jett." Vicente still felt uncomfortable when he recalled the past.
After the death of Mona Nangong's father, Mona Nangong and her mother had a hard time. In order to keep the position of the count, Mona Nangong had no choice but to disguise as a man.
Vicente continued, "My mother told me that Mona Nangong took my father as the successor of the family. She has been raising him since he was a child. When she died, my father had a quarrel with my grandfather, and then they broke up. Since there was something wrong with my mother's head, she didn't tell me what they had quarreled about in the end."
Outside the window, the wind was whistling, and every word of Vicente was imprinted in Leon's heart, especially in his last sentence. Why did they quarrel?
It was said that Mona Nangong had a good relationship with her elder brothers.
Was there anything wrong with Mona Nangong's death?
Leon couldn't help but think about it. He took out his phone and sent a message to Wynn, asking him to investigate what had happened that year. Maybe they could find out something.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
