Chapter 1005: I Want to Get Married
"But, Auntie, it seems like James doesn’t feel that way about me," Hayley Cole pouted with discomfort."Auntie, I really like James, but in his heart, there’s only that Ophelia Wilson."
Thinking about this made Hayley Cole feel uneasy.
"Actually, James does have feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn’t let you stay at home. When have you ever seen him get so close to anyone?" Charlotte Reed’s words put Hayley Cole at ease, but she still had her concerns.
"But Auntie, when will James forget about that Ophelia Wilson?"
"Actually, James just can’t get over that hurdle in his heart; he only needs a little push," Charlotte Reed thought for a moment and said, "But... I think we should talk about this later."
"No, Auntie, why talk about it later?" Hayley Cole asked anxiously.
"With how James is right now, I’ll be honest, both your uncle and I are worried and anxious, afraid that he’s too set in his ways," Charlotte Reed said, "We also hope James can move past this soon."
"It’s unlikely that James will slowly fall in love with you. Of course, if you can wait, maybe in three or five years, he might come around."
"What? Three or five years?" Hayley Cole almost freaked out upon hearing this, "That’s way too long, isn’t it?"
"There’s no other way; you know what kind of person James is—deeply emotional and loyal," Charlotte Reed’s explanation gained Hayley Cole’s approval, "It’s precisely because James is so good that I like him."
"So, don’t rush things," Charlotte Reed said with a smile.
"Then Auntie, you mentioned pushing James a bit—what’s that method?" Hayley Cole urgently asked, wanting to stay in James’s home and not return to the Cole Family.
"Hmm..." Charlotte Reed hesitated and didn’t say anything.
Her silence drove Hayley Cole crazy with urgency: "Auntie, please tell me!"
"You and James should just get married. Once it’s a done deal, with James’s sense of responsibility, he’ll definitely treat you well and quickly get over Ophelia Wilson," Charlotte Reed finished speaking, leaving Hayley Cole stunned, lost in thought.
"Don’t mind me, I’m just suggesting," Charlotte Reed said with a smile, "You can live here steadily, but James is right— you should go see your mom."
"No matter what, the bond between mother and daughter can’t be broken; she’ll still be worried about you."
Charlotte Reed’s words made Hayley Cole feel terribly uncomfortable: "She doesn’t think about me at all! She has a husband, a son, and a daughter now; what am I to her?"
The more Hayley Cole spoke, the angrier she got: "Auntie, let’s do what you said. I want to marry James!"
"Hayley, don’t talk nonsense. I was just speaking casually. Marriage is a big deal; you can’t just make such decisions lightly—it affects your entire life, you hear?" Charlotte Reed was considering everything for Hayley Cole, which deeply moved her.
"Auntie, I want to marry James and become part of your family!" Hayley Cole felt that only here could she feel the warmth of a family, without living in fear and repression.
"Hayley, you should think it over more. This..." Charlotte Reed only got halfway through her sentence before Hayley Cole interrupted, "Auntie, I’ve made up my mind. I want to marry James; I love James, and I love you and Uncle!"
