Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 667

Jenna came forward, took a bow, and brought General Delia before the memorial tablet.

General Delia placed the flowers before bowing sincerely three times towards Vivian's portrait. Then, he retreated to one side with Trevor.

Sabrina had heard that General Delia was coming, and had hidden herself somewhere with the excuse that she had to deal with something.

As a result, General Delia didn't see his daughter Sabrina despite having waited in the Ink Garden for the whole afternoon. Displeasure was written all over his dark face.

When the sun set, he remained standing in the back garden of Ink Garden with both hands clutching a newspaper behind his back. He was in a dark mood.

The funeral hymns in the mourning hall echoed from time to time, causing his mood to be clouded with worry.

His daughter, Sabrina, was 26 years old. A few years ago, she broke off the engagement with Norton Richards, and her reputation had been tainted because of what Norton did. As for the well- known bachelors in Capital City, they had already married. There weren't many men left. As for those who were qualified, he assumed that they wouldn't like his daughter. Hence, the matter of Sabrina's marriage had been a headache for him for the past few years.

"Nice to meet you, General." Just as General Delia was lost in thought, a young man's voice sounded in his ear. When he raised his head, Sergio's young and handsome face appeared in front of him.

He was a little stunned.

After a short while, he understood.

"Hi, Sergio." He chuckled slightly.

"General, my condolences to you about Vivian passing away." Seeing him standing there with his eyebrows knitted, Sergio comforted him in a soft voice, thinking that he was reminiscing about Vivian.

"Well." General Delia's eyebrows twitched but he didn't say anything.

Sergio thought of something, and his face darkened.

General Delia had abstained from voting at the most critical moment of their election. Why had he done that? Did he know something?

"Sergio, is your father alright?" General Delia asked casually.

Sergio's heart moved slightly. He could only nod his head and pretended to be courteous. "He's good."

"It's the last day of the election tomorrow. Are you planning to stay here?" General Delia asked with a faint smile.

Sergio originally wanted to talk about Sabrina, but he didn't expect General Delia to avoid mentioning her at all. He was worried when General Delia asked about the election instead. He didn't know if General Delia had already known about his family's failure. So, he just said a few words in a hurry and left.

General Delia looked at his retreating back and shook his head regretfully.

"Aunt Maria, come this way. Be careful. That tile has gotten loose. The housekeeper should have sent someone to repair it a long time ago. What if someone trips over it?" Carmella was carefully helping Maria towards the general's direction.

"Well, Carmella, you're right. The housekeeper only knows how to please Jenna. That's all he does. The situation in Ink Garden is already considered alright. Wait till you see Emerald Garden. There are so many holes in that place. Maud hasn't gone there all year round. Even though we reported this issue several times, nothing happened. After a long time, we decided to leave it be," Maria complained.

Carmella smiled. "Don't worry, Aunt Maria. Once Norton gets married, he'll have some of the power. At that time, you'll be in charge. You'll be able to fix it however you like. Don't worry, I'll make arrangements according to your wishes when the time comes."

When Maria heard this, a wide smile appeared on her face. She instantly praised Carmella for being so obedient. Carmella smiled as her face became red. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the mourning hall.

There was a stone in Maria's chest after staying in the mourning hall for too long. Furthermore, she had nothing to do with these matters. So, she had nothing to do. Carmella was watching the situation from the sidelines. When she saw how uncomfortable Maria was, she took the initiative to take a walk outside with her.

General Delia stood under a tree, staring at Maria and Carmella as they walked and chatted together.

"Sabrina, your father is here. Aren't you going to meet him?" Norton came over and spoke to Sabrina.

During these two days, he had been responsible for receiving guests and running errands, while she had been responsible for gifts and the memorial service. Every decision was made by Norton.

The two of them cooperated very well. With Sabrina by his side, Norton did not feel very tired. Furthermore, he could chat with her from time to time. It made him feel content.

Sabrina focused on sorting out the expenses at the hotel for the day. She completely ignored Norton.

Norton had long mastered a set of techniques to amuse Sabrina. That was to stick with her regardless of what she thought of him. If Sabrina ignored him, then he would find another way to deal with her.

"Sabrina, it's rare for your father to come to Richards Manor. You should ask him to stay for a few days. After I'm done with work here, we can bring your father to the beach." Norton placed his head on his elbow and leaned towards Sabrina. He looked at her meaningfully.

As soon as Sabrina looked up, she saw his sparkling eyes, and she couldn't help but to blush.

"Grandma's been gone for less than a day, and you're chatting about having fun at the beach. Is that appropriate?" She glared at him and rebuked.

Norton looked at her haggard face after days of work. His heart ached. He couldn't help but to touch her face and said, "Sabrina, don't stay up tonight. Go to bed early. Leave everything to me."

"Move your filthy hand." Sabrina reached out and hit his hand. Norton took the opportunity to hold her hand and said softly, "Sabrina, my heart aches when I see you so tired."
