Everybody was left speechless by what Vireo had said.
Mira, on the other hand, felt that she understood Vireo very well at that moment. She already knew Vireo's full name. "Vireo, don't overthink it. After I've married you in the future, I will be a part of the Payne family. We’ll all be a family. It's only right for us to be buying properties for the Payne family. Don't feel burdened. I love you."
She appeared to be very generous, and her smile was enough to melt Vireo's heart.
Vireo's eyes were radiating with gentleness. "Alright, thank you, Mira."
He simply wanted this negotiation to end quickly. He just wanted to leave the Payne family to go to the provincial capital as soon as possible. He also was not thinking of relying on his father-in-law and Mira, he just wanted to leave this place that made him feel suffocated but unable to struggle free.
After all, they were her adoptive parents. They were his parents who had raised him since birth. He truly could not be so heartless. All he could do was to run away. He could only escape.
No matter if it was the elders of the Payne family or the Turner family, both parties at the banquet were all having ulterior motives. The Payne family was very happy. They had truly made the most worthwhile deal in history that day. Not only did they manage to sell their adopted son at a good price, but their adopted son was also still the Payne family's adopted son. That was not going to change.
Phil, on the other hand, was already furious beyond measure, but he was holding it back. He had to endure it for the sake of his daughter. If any of those young men from rich families had learned about his daughter's condition, they never would have married her. Therefore, Phil was truly helpless. He already had a plan in his mind. He was going to just let this shameless man from a lowly family accompany his daughter for life, but he was going to look down on his son-in-law for the rest of his life.
After this banquet, Phil and his daughter, Mira, stayed in the county for three days. They were waiting for Vireo to settle all these things at home. First of all, he had to cancel the account for the clinic. Secondly, he had to let his parents settle down. After that, the gifts that the Turner family had promised were also all prepared within the three days. As long as they had enough money, even if there were only three days, they could also get everything done.
In those three days, the Payne family was truly immensely glorious. Other families had to spend plenty of money on gifts when their sons got married, but the Payne family was different. Not only did the Payne family get an incomparably gentle and obedient daughter-in-law, who was extremely great to her parents-in-law and her three sisters-in-law, and did not dare to say anything wrong at all, but the Payne family did not need to contribute a single penny on gifts.
All that was not the rarest thing of all. The rarest thing was that not only did the Payne family not pay for any gifts to the bride, but they got lucrative gifts that were worth ten million dollars from the bride's family. That truly was just like a legend. The Payne family's son truly lived up to his expectations. Both Lucius and his wife were complimented throughout the county as if they were stars. However, nobody knew what Vireo was feeling.
Three days later, Vireo went to the provincial capital with Mira after he had taken care of everything in the county. In those three days, he truly fell in love with Mira. Perhaps, that was not love? That was just a kind of love that Vireo needed. He was thinking that he was never going to fall in love with any other woman again in this life. He was going to stay by Mira's side i n this life and live his life with her. From that day on, n o matter how great of an achievement he got, he would attribute them to Mira. Also, Vireo had already made up his mind to willingly work tirelessly in the Turner family's hospital for life.
