Chapter 145 Happiness comes too fast

There are many tasks can be handled by the subordinates, but Victor James wanted to do everything by himself, which made his elder sister speechless. It had become his habit to stay busy with his work, and he was not interested in anything else. After hearing her mother, Angela Carter’s bright little face suddenly dimmed, she bowed down her head and walked forward silently. She didn’t want to say a word more. Victor promised her that he would come earlier this year. Why didn’t he come? Didn’t he know that she was waiting for him? She had been chasing him for thirteen years. Now she had grown up, but he didn’t want to see her. Why? She always managed to see him, but the military region was heavily guarded, so it’s not easy to enter there. She couldn’t even manage to have a look from a distance. She had also made numerous phone calls to him, but he didn’t answer her phone, every time his subordinates picked her calls and informed her that he’s busy with military affairs; he’s not available. She just wanted to talk to him on the phone, but she couldn’t. She waited for him and finally she got a hope to see him at New Year, for her the holiday was just an opportunity to meet him. But he didn’t come! It was like a bolt from the blue. She felt that this year has passed in vain… She subconsciously clenched her hands, and her delicate face turned pale. "Angela, what’s the matter? Are you okay?" Angela Carter rarely had such gloomy expressions. Her mother got worried for her and immediately touched her forehead. "I’m fine." She didn’t want her mother to be worried; she tried to smile, "The party is about to start. Brother is going to introduce sister-in-law to everyone. Let’s go in quickly." Edwin Carter took the opportunity of family and friends gathering to introduce Jane to everyone. So today’s show was about them. Angela Carter was a very lively but sensitive girl. She was hurt, but she remained calm, avoiding creating any trouble at such an important time. It was a cocktail party, but it was not that formal. The most important thing was that everyone was enjoying the day. It was a fine day. The main venue of the reception is located on the lawn in front of the villa. After the servants’ careful decoration, the whole venue looked attractive and warm. There were flower racks all over the venue. A dozen long tables with white rags were arranged in a square circle, and the tables were filled with fine wine and delicious food. There were delicate and tasty snacks, as well as a variety of fresh fruits. Some fruits were processed and carved into various shapes. The arrangement was very meticulous and all the food items were well presented. Just by looking at the food one can have an appetite. The men and women at the party were gentlemanly and elegant. Among the guests, most of the men were dressed in suits like Edwin Carter, but the women dressed up in different ways. Some wore skirts, some wore long frocks which were colorful. It was indeed an eye-catching scene. Grandpa, who has the highest prestige, also wore a suit. There were expressions of majesty and kindness on his face. But his personality didn’t make people feel abrupt. He was the oldest member of the Carter family. Everyone came to him to wish him a happy New Year first, then he smiled and gave a red envelope to the younger generation, gave them blessings to be successful, and told them to study hard and work hard. He stood for a while, glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on Edwin Carter and Jane, who were greeting the guests. Jane Ronan- A very simple but beautiful name, which matched her temperament very well. She possessed all the qualities to stand beside his charming grandson. There was no doubt that they were well matched just by their appearance, but… Thinking of this, grandpa’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Maybe Jane noticed the prying of other eyes. She turned around and happened to meet grandpa’s fierce sight. But as she realized that there was something wrong, grandpa’s eyes became kind and peaceful again. He nodded and smiled at her. "I wish you a happy life with such a beautiful wife." The person who came to talk was uncle Smith, whom Jane already met at the charity dinner. Edwin Carter nodded, "Thank you, uncle." "Thank you, uncle." Jane also smiled. Smith raised his glass and said with a smile, "What a perfect match. I wish you two a happy New Year! I hope soon you’ll give Carter Family a great-grandchild." Edwin Carter nodded slightly, and politely said, "Thanks again! Uncle." Hearing his words of adding a child to the Carter Family, Jane pursed her lips, and her delicate face blushed unconsciously. Jane thought that not only the elders of the Carter Family were very elegant and elite, but all the relatives of the Carter Family were from a high-class society, all were highly qualified and well mannered. No one asked Jane about her family’s background, no one asked her what she’s doing now, they just sincerely gave her their blessings. Maybe the real rich families should behave like the Carter Family. They’re knowledgeable and polite, both inside and outside. Even the friends they make were the same. She thought of the Greyson family and her own family. One could see the difference at a glance. Three years ago, Jonathan Ronan took Jane to a party like this. At that time, Jonathan Ronan was just busy pleasing the rich people and introducing her own daughter to others. Sometimes, Jane felt ashamed, but she always tried to understand Jonathan Ronan, she thought that maybe he did all this for the Ronan family, he didn’t want to see the end of his family, that’s why he tried each and every mean. But later, she met Edwin Carter, and he became her husband. When she suffered conspiracies, he stood behind her and supported her. In her most difficult time, when her mother was forced to commit suicide, he stayed by her side to help her and to console her. She was so lucky to meet him. This man gave her all the happiness of the world. "What’s up? What are you thinking?" His deep magnetic voice sounded in her ears, even in his voice she could hear his concern and care for her. "Nothing." She shook her head and smiled at him, "I am feeling very happy." Edwin Carter raised his hand and gently patted her head. Then he kissed her on the forehead. He said softly, "You deserve to be happy." He kissed her in the presence of so many people. She blushed and hung her head, ashamed to look up at him. "Follow me." Edwin Carter took her hand. "Where’re we going?" Jane followed him and asked. "Just follow me." He said. "Well." Jane nodded. Just by holding his hand and following him, she can find all the happiness of this world.
