"I can't win against you. I can't stop you no matter what you want, but mom and dad won't let you do this."
Zion's words made Wisdom smile, but he didn't say anything.
In fact, he knew better than anyone else that Nathaniel and Mango wanted to give him the best, but they would not force him to accept it.
Their respect had made him live a carefree life, and he never felt that he was any different from Zion and the others.
He was the son of the Ye family, as well as the son of Nathaniel and Mango. That was enough.
Seeing the calm smile on Wisdom's face, Zion also guessed the final result. He couldn't help but say, "Since you're married, aren't you attending my wedding?"
"Well, it should be too late. There was another war in Swovenia. Many people are homeless. Kate and I are doctors, so we plan to go there as soon as possible. But when you get married, we will try our best to rush back."
Zion felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Wisdom's words.
"You are the son of the Ye family. Why do you have to live so hard?"
"You are the second son of the Ye family. Why do you still want to join the army?"
Hearing Wisdom's question, Zion was stunned.
"Forget it. I can't beat you."
Zion surrendered immediately.
Standing outside the door and listening to Wisdom's words, Kate couldn't help but burst into tears.
The only person in the world who knew her was Wisdom.
She had been like a duckweed all these years. She had no home. If she really married with Rita and Evangeline together, she would probably feel inferior and uncomfortable.
Wisdom wanted to give her a wedding that was exclusive to her.
There was no need for too many people to watch the ceremony, there was no need to be too gorgeous, but it indeed belonged to the wedding of the two of them. This alone was enough.
Zion stayed with Wisdom for a while, but he was a little tired, so he got up and left.
Barney waited outside. When she saw Zion come out, she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
"Barney, do you have something to say to me?"
"Yes."
Barney nodded.
She looked at the handsome young man in front of her and felt a little sad.
From childhood to adulthood, she knew that her feelings for Zion was romantic. However, Zion had someone already. The person he liked was not her, so it was not good for her to keep her secret crush on Zion.
However, her heart was filled with Zion, and she did not know when she would be able to forget him.
The most important thing was that he was getting married!
If he married the girl she liked, he would be happy in the future.
Therefore, there was no need for Barney to stay.
"Wisdom's injury is almost healed. He needs to rest. It's time for me to leave."
Barney's words made Zion feel a little surprised.
"Barney, are you leaving too?"
"Yes, Wisdom is right. The war in Swovenia is rising again, and we may need to go there to support them. Me and the Strike Fighter Squad are going, so I may not be able to come back when you get married. I wish you and Evangeline a happy marriage in advance! I will ask my brother to bring you the wedding gift later."
Barney kept smiling, and her smile was very gentle. However, Zion could see the loneliness in her eyes.
She had always been a good sister.
He didn't know when Barney's feelings for him had changed. It was not that he didn't know, but he just didn't want to expose it.
If he did, they would not even be able to be brother and sister.
However, Zion also knew the pain of onesided love.
Over the years, he had tried his best to avoid getting in touch with Barney. Now that Barney was about to let go, Zion should be happy for her. After all, she should have her own love, but his heart was particularly bitter and uncomfortable.
Parting was the last emotion he wanted to face in his life, but he had to face it.
