Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 438

Alice breathed a sigh of relief and asked discreetly, "What about your mother?"

Daniel's pupils were as dark as ink when he said in a somewhat creepy voice, "Because of my father's early death, my mother had a nervous breakdown a long time ago. That's why I didn't bring her over to visit you and Gilbert. Instead, I left her at home for therapy."

Tears were welling up in Alice's eyes when she learned Daniel's heartbreaking story. She even began to regret bringing the topic up. "Daniel, I didn't know you had such a bitter past!"

"Bitter is overstating. Although I didn't have a happy childhood, I got the most wonderful lover and family in the world now. I have Brittany, you, and Gilbert. I am already grateful."

Daniel's words pleased Alice. She gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and calmed herself down before asking with concern, "Apart from your parents, do you have any other family?"

There was hope flickered in Daniel's dark eyes. "Yes, I have a brother. He's a senior in high school." "Oh?" Alice couldn't hold back her mixed feeling of being happy and disappointed. Since Daniel's younger brother was only a senior student, how could he attend the wedding as an elder of his family?

Forget it. They would figure the way out. The Ramsay Family didn't have that many rigid rules!

Alice spoke reasonably, "Daniel, your brother should be on Christmas holiday, right? Take him over, would you? At least you need a family to witness your happiness."

Daniel called out her name with a strangled voice as if he was deeply moved. "I will tell him the good news later. I believe he'll give me his best wishes."

The moment he returned to his bedroom, Daniel took out his phone and called Ned.

The phone rang...

Almost at the same time, Ned picked it up. He sounded like an excited kid, "Daniel?"

"Ned, it's me..." They greeted each other before Daniel cut to the chase, "Ned, I might get married soon."

Ned exclaimed in surprise, "Really? When? Is the bride Amelia?"

Hearing Amelia's name, Daniel's expression turned sullen. "Ned, how many times have I told you? I broke up with Amelia a long time ago. The one I'm going to marry is not her!"

Ned could feel Daniel's anger through the phone. "I'm sorry. Please just forget what I have said!" Ned muttered.

Daniel didn't mean to get angry with him, so he began quickly, "Are you available to my wedding? I can book a ticket online for you. You can take a ride to the nearby airport and fly to Northville. I'll pick you up then."

Ned was excited at that, "You want me to take a flight to visit you?"

"Yeah, marriage is, after all, very important..." Daniel said sorrowfully.

"I know! We only get married once in our life! I've got my final exam papers, and my teacher told me that she would keep applying for a scholarship for me next semester. Do you understand what I mean?"

Daniel's mouth curled into a smile. "Okay. Since you're available, come over then."

Ned was thrilled. "Daniel, can I bring Mom with me? It's a great day for you. If she could see it with her own eyes, it would be perfect..."
