Helena was somewhat stunned, and she hurriedly said, "This is really a little too much... Oskians say that there should be no gain without pain... I... I..."
Jeremiah laughed, "Why are you talking about gains and pain? In our Oskian tradition, it is only right to give a gift of money on your wedding day as you are officially becoming the daughter-in-law of the Wade family. It is not only your father-in-law and mother-in-law who will be giving you a gift of money, but I, as a grandfather, as well as Felix's other uncles and aunts, will also be giving you a gift of money." 3
Helena was slightly startled and she said seriously, "I mean no offense, but I feel that this custom does not seem to suit me..."
After saying that, Helena hurriedly explained, "This is mainly because most young people would basically stop asking their family for money after going to college. This is also the same case for me as well as for many of my friends. I relied on a scholarship and student loan to get into university too. I usually do not reach out to my family to ask them for money. So, can we omit the gift of money?"
Felix, who was aside, was dumbfounded. He hurriedly took a step forward and grasped Helena's hand gently as he said, "My dear, how could we omit such a thing?!"
Helena subconsciously knitted her beautiful brows
the moment Felix touched her. Immediately after that, she quickly pulled her hand back. 3
She did not have any feelings for Felix, but she had no choice but to accept the marriage because she could not fight her family's arrangement.
Besides that, she also had her own final struggle in her heart. Her final struggle was that as long as she was not officially married to Felix yet, she would not have any close or intimate contact with Felix.
Over the past few days that she had been in Eastcliff, Felix had always been intentionally and unintentionally trying to get closer to her. There were even several times when he wanted to enter her room when he sent her back to the hotel, but she had refused him politely.
Although Felix was anxious, he did not dare to be oppressive or force her.
Therefore, he could only pretend to be gentlemanly as he passed it off with a smile.
In truth, he had already cursed at Helena dozens of times in his heart because of how she was being so reserved.
