Master Si didn't want Barton Turner to give his true feelings before the two had officially held their wedding ceremony. Barton Turner was supposed to keep his distance from Hale Bennett until then.
Therefore, the two of them had never made any substantive progress.
Fortunately, Hale Bennett didn't get angry, nor did he make any unreasonable demands.
Seeing Barton Turner, Hale Bennett walked over with a smile, “Barton Turner.”
The sound of Hale Bennett's voice was like a spring breeze in the human world, refreshing to the ears and eyes.
Seeing Hale Bennett, Barton Turner's mood also improved, “Hale, are you here to see Grandpa?”
Hale Bennett nodded.
“How's Grandpa's health recently?” Hale Bennett asked with concern.
“Still the same,” Barton Turner replied, “he's planning on going back tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?” Hale Bennett slightly frowned, “So soon?”
“Yeah.” Barton Turner nodded.
Hale Bennett continued, “I'll go see Grandpa.”
“Shall I accompany you?”
Hale Bennett shook his head, “No need. It's too late now, you go back and rest first.”
“Alright.”
Hale Bennett walked toward Master Si's room.
Barton Turner watched Hale Bennett's retreating figure, his expression somewhat obscure and difficult to read.
Hale Bennett was diligently trying to gain the favor of Master Si.
Unfortunately.
All these efforts would ultimately be in vain.
A moment, Barton Turner sighed softly.
Perhaps having heard Barton Turner's sigh, Hale Bennett turned around at this moment and looked towards Barton Turner, “What's wrong?”
“Did something unhappy happen?”
Barton Turner shook his head, “No.”
Hale Bennett continued, “Barton, we are fiances and will be family in the future, so I hope that no matter what difficulties you face, you can tell me. We can figure out a solution together.”
Barton Turner looked at the man standing before him, finding it impossible to associate him with the Grim Reaper.
That was why she had fallen for Hale Bennett.
“Okay.” Barton Turner nodded.
A moment, Barton Turner smiled as she looked at Hale Bennett, “But right now, I haven't encountered any insurmountable difficulties. You don't need to worry.”
“Hmm.” Hale Bennett didn't say much more, only adding, “I'll go in first.”
Barton Turner nodded again.
Hale Bennett walked toward Master Si's room.
Master Si's attitude towards Hale Bennett wasn't cold, but rather greeted him with a smile.
However, this smile didn't reach his eyes.
There was a faint aloofness.
Hale Bennett didn't mind and still chatted with Elder Si cheerfully, as if he didn't care about the latter's demeanor at all.
The chandelier cast a shallow light upon Hale Bennett's body.
Elder Si prided himself on having seen countless people in his lifetime, yet he couldn't see through Hale Bennett.
This young man was neither impetuous nor driven by fame and profit.
If the country needed it, Hale Bennett would even be willing to give up everything for the homeland he was protecting.
But the cleaner the young man appeared, the more it indicated that there was a problem.
Although Barton Turner was talented despite his youth, he still fell short when compared to Hale Bennett.
So, at first, Elder Si had no intention of bringing these two together.
Unfortunately.
A twist of fate occurred.
And just when Barton Turner had also reached the right age.
Since she was to be married.
Then it should be to the best.
Although Elder Si found Hale Bennett, the young man, somewhat enigmatic, he could think of no one better than Hale Bennett.
Just then, Hale Bennett spoke up.
“I heard from Barton that you're going back tomorrow.”
Elder Si nodded.
Barton really had no reservations towards Hale Bennett.
In less than ten minutes of their meeting, Barton had informed him of the most important information.
This child…
Was too easily deceived.
Elder Si couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Hale Bennett looked at Elder Si, “Do you have something on your mind?”
Elder Si narrowed his eyes and nodded, “Yes.”
Upon saying this, Elder Si continued, “As you see, I am concerned about what will become of Barton alone in this world after I am gone.”
“You worry too much.” There was no discernible fluctuation in Hale Bennett's tone, “She has us.”
He didn't say 'I.'
He said 'us.'
Elder Si had always considered himself to be quite idealistic, but it turned out Hale Bennett was even more rational than he was.
After speaking, Hale Bennett added, “Don't worry, I'll never leave Barton all alone.”
Elder Si nodded, covering his mouth and coughing softly, “Hale, you are young and capable, I believe in you.”
“Grandpa, you think too highly of me,” Hale Bennett was very modest, “I don't deserve the description 'young and capable.'”
