Chapter 383
Joanna Haynes hesitated for a while but did not answer the call.
When he saw this, Jaydon Grimm was curious. “Why aren’t you answering your phone?”
“It’s fine! It’s a scam call.”
“Oh… Jaydon’s eyes flickered but he didn’t ask any more questions.
“Joann, do you have anything else to do this afternoon?”
Joanna paused momentarily. “What’s wrong?”
“We’re getting married next week! I think it’s better to meet your father and tell him the good news!”
When Joanna heard this, she kept quiet but a hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes.
To be honest, her relationship with her father was so strained that she didn’t expect him to give his blessing, let alone attend her wedding.
“Joann, I know you are not willing to see him. But he’s your father after all. It’s better to inform him about something as important as marriage.”
Joanna couldn’t help giving a sigh. “Alright!”
After all, she was getting married. It was better to inform her father.
As for whether he gave his blessings or not, it didn’t matter anymore.
“Then you can start packing up!”
“Mm–hmmm!”
Joanna went to the washroom to wash her face and tidy her hair.
Thereafter, she gave Fantine a call.
“Hello, Fantine!”
Fantine’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Miss Joanna, what can I do for you?”
Joanna hesitated for a few seconds. Then she braced herself and asked, “Is Dad still in the hospital?”
“Yes!”
“Tell Dad that I’ll go and visit him in the afternoon!”
“Oh, alright, Miss Joanna!”
At four in the afternoon, the couple reached the hospital.
Joanna and Jaydon brought fruits and various nutritional supplements to the hospital.
In the ward, Shaun Haynes lay quietly on the bed.
Right now, half of his body could not move, and he could not speak legibly. He could only lay on the bed all day long.
Joanna walked softly to the bed. “Dad, I’m here to visit you!”
When Shaun heard the voice, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at Joanna. Then, he let out a deep breath and muttered something.
However, no one knew what he was saying.
“Dad, Jay and I are getting married!”
Jaydon walked forward with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Haynes. On the 9th of this month, Joann and I will hold our wedding in
Venturas!
“Today, we came here especially to tell you the good news.”
When Shaun heard this, his eyes rotated slightly.
He had mixed feelings inwardly, and his heart was filled with sorrow and resentment.
Why was the heavens doing this to him?
This unfilial daughter was indeed here to demand payback! If she had married Jaydon Grimm earlier, Roxy would not have ended up this way.
And the Haynes family would not have fallen into such a state.
Chapter 383
“Oof, oof, oof. Ugh, ugh…” Shaun mumbled incoherently for a long time.
Jaydon and Joanna could not hear what he said clearly. The two of them looked at each other. “Dad, what do you want to say?”
Shaun’s face became flushed. He raised his hand but could not utter a single word clearly. However, he seemed very agitated and did not seem to be giving his blessing.
When she saw this, Fantine hurriedly went forward to calm him down. “Mr. Haynes, don’t be so agitated
“Miss Joanna and Mr. Grimm’s marriage is joyous news! We should be happy for them.”
She had served Shaun for so many years, so she naturally understood his thoughts the best.
Sometimes, even if it was just a look from Shaun, she could understand what he was trying to say.
Joanna looked at Fantine with a baffled expression. “Fantine, what is Dad trying to say?”
Fantine looked a little embarrassed. “Oh, Mr. Haynes is happy for you! He’s giving his blessing to you two for tying the
knot!”
Joanna subconsciously looked at her father wordlessly.
He looked like he wanted to strangle her. He didn’t look happy at all.
“Dad, your health isn’t good, and it’s not convenient for you to attend the wedding. I’m now informing you up front as an expression of my respect for you.”
“Dad, rest and recover well. We’ll leave first!”
“Oof, oof. Argh, argh…” Shaun was so anxious that he couldn’t speak clearly. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
He still held a huge grudge against Joanna!
This unfilial daughter was going to marry Jaydon Grimm in the end, but she was still entangled with Bruce Everett. She had ruined her younger sister’s whole life and happiness.
He simply could not give his blessings to this daughter.
“Jay, let’s go!”
Jaydon leaned over and shook Shaun’s hand again. He said politely, “Mr. Haynes, don’t worry. I will treat Joann well!”
When Shaun heard this, his turbid eyes turned ferociously to Jaydon. Then, he turned his head to the side as if he was angry.
This unfilial daughter was so capable!
up
He wasn’t worried that Joanna wouldn’t have a good life at all. He only cared about Roxy, who was locked in the mental hospital, and Ryan Haynes, whose whereabouts were unknown!
“Fantine, please take good care of Dad. Call me if you need anything.”
“Yes, Miss Joanna!”
“Then we’ll go off first!”
“Goodbye.”
Without saying anything else, the couple left the ward one after another.
Back in the car, Jaydon frowned.
He looked at Joanna with a somewhat worried expression. “Joann, are you really not letting your father attend the wedding?” Joanna also looked sad. “No need! It’s also not convenient for him to attend the wedding in his current state.”
“Oh, alright! Then… come back to Venturas with me tomorrow!”
Joanna was taken aback. “Go back to Venturas?”
Jaydon smiled faintly. “That’s right. Marriage is such a major thing. You definitely have to meet my father and the rest of my family!”
“Oh, okay!”
“Then get ready tonight. We’ll leave first thing in the morning.”
Joanna tried her best to squeeze out a smile. “Mm–hmm. I got it.”
Jaydon immediately started the car and said somewhat uneasily. “By the way, there are many people in my family. I have many more brothers and sisters, and more elders.
“It’s inevitable that some of them will say unpleasant things. If you don’t like what they say, just ignore them!”
Chapter 383
Joanna was surprised when she heard that.
Thereafter, she collected herself.
The Grinum family was a complicated family. Other than Jaydon’s more than a dozen siblings, he also had numerous paternal uncles and aunts, and maternal aunts!
As for second wife and third wife and so on, there were at least five or six of them.
In particular, when Joanna met Jaydon’s family previously, his younger sister was very rude to her. Now that she heard him say this, the other family members were probably even more difficult to get along with.
“Jay. I’m afraid I may not be able to handle it…” Joanna said nervously.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry! I’ll take care of everything.”
Joanna’s skin tensed up. She was most terrified of dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships. “Will they not accept
me?”
Jaydon smiled. “No. As long as I accept you, it doesn’t matter whether the others accept you or not!
“Marriage is between the two of us. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”
