Chapter 1149
Even After Death
Judging from how the Kingstons came in a group, they were clearly dogged to achieve their objectives
at all costs.
If the proposal was turned down, Krystalâs and the Heaths* reputation would be ruined.
On the other side of the coin, accepting the proposal would mean a tiring future ahead of Krystal.
She failed to win the heart of her loved one, and the person she didnât love did everything in his power
to marry her.
It was an ill fate.
âMr. Kingston Senior, Iâm aware of your sincerity. Similar to my wife, I have nothing to complain about
Yale, but Krystal is my precious daughter. When it comes to marriage, the opinion of the people
involved matters more to us.
âThatâs how it works within my family. Now that things have turned out this way, I suggest putting the
proposal aside first. Why donât we give both of them some time to spend together?â
The smile on Tatianaâs face beamed wider.
Yale thought, âThis sly fox.â
Still, he remained respectful on the outside. âDo you mean â¦â
âThey can get to know each other as a couple for three months. If a deeper relationship is developed, it
wonât be too late to hold a marriage when the time comes.â
Mason looked at Sherman. âMr. Kingston Senior, I think this is the best for both of them. What do you
think?â
âSince youâve put it that way, we agree to it too. Youâd better treat your future wife well, you brat,â
Sherman reminded Yale.
Yale nodded. âI will, Grandpa. Guys, please be rest assured. I, Yale Kingston, swear by my name that I
will treat Krystal well from now onward. If I happen to go against my word, Iâll be punished severely.â
Krystal rolled her eyes, unable to believe that someone was actually taking it the traditional way in this
era.
Mason let out a wry cough, reminding her not to ruin it.â Krystal, try to get along with Yale from now on.
I know that you like someone else, but he hasnât reciprocated your feelings for so long. You should
consider other options.
âYale is a good man. I wonât force you to get married today, but you have to promise me that youâll get
over that person and try to accept others. Give others a chance, as well as yourself.â
âGot it, Dad.â
Masonâs action as of now was flawless and reasonable.
He wasnât a simple man to deal with.
Who knew what would happen three months from now?
After all, he held certain power, so the Kingstons didnât have the nerve to cross the line by threatening
him.
Masonâs history of climbing up the ladder of power was a legend. He had never been an easy
opponent.
Thus, Yale had to accept the situation regardless of his reluctance.
Within three months, all he had to do was to impregnate Krystal. Then, the child could be used as
leverage to make the marriage happen.
Meanwhile, Krystal was thinking, âItâs just three months.
When the time comes, Iâll say that I donât like him and get out of this.â
The living room was filled to the brim with people bearing different thoughts in mind.
Mason smiled. âNo objections? I guess this is it. Mr.
Kingston Senior, itâs been years since I last met you. Letâs play a few rounds of chess. Ladies and
gentlemen, please stay and have a meal together. We might be a family in the future. It wonât hurt to
get to know each other in advance.â
Yale was impressed by Masonâs composure. The latter solved the problem, which Yale had schemed
for a long time.
Mason resolved it so readily, and the Kingstons couldnât find a fault with him.
Mason stood up and patted his shoulder. âKrystalâs my only daughter. Youâd better treat her well.â
âDonât worry, Mr. Heath. I like her too much to hurt her.â Yale held Krystalâs hand gently. âKrystal, Iâll
make you accept my feelings one day.â
A shudder of revolt made her skin crawl.
