Chapter 1794: Sincerity
The familiar Russell family estate loomed in front of them as Claire sat in the passenger seat, her heart tightening slowly. Her uncle and aunt had always been against her being with Rowan.
Will they be furious after such a sudden departure? Will they say hurtful things?
She loved Rowan and didn't want him to suffer even a bit. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The car turned slowly and entered the yard, stopping in front of the villa.
Rowan glanced at the girl beside him, and the girl also glanced back. Their gazes met.
Then, they both unfastened their seatbelts and got out of the car together.
Albert and Violet, standing in the living room, also held their hearts in their hands. Through the full- length window, they saw Dr. Watson walk around the car and take Claire's hand.
They watched as the two stepped towards the living room.
Violet quickly glanced at the man beside her, feeling a bit nervous for some reason. This Dr. Watson was not the same Dr. Watson. He was now the esteemed king of Lu Layeka.
With such a status, anyone would feel uncertain about how to interact with him.
Closer, closer... they stepped through the door.
Albert and Violet's eyes fell on them. Rowan and Claire didn't even greet the two elders. They went straight to them, bent their knees, and knelt down.
This shocked Albert and Violet, causing them to step back!
Rowan and Claire looked up, and they both spoke at the same time, "Uncle, aunt, please forgive our sudden departure." With that, they both kowtowed three times to the two elders.
This greatly shocked the two elders. "Please get up quickly!" They were startled and quickly bent down to help them up.
But Rowan and Claire knelt firmly. They looked up, their eyes filled with the most sincere apology.
Rowan said, "I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, for taking Claire away without your permission because of me."
In fact, Claire had gone on her own after hearing the news, so when he said this, Claire also felt very sorry. He took all the responsibility upon himself.
"Please get up, get up first!" Albert firmly grasped his arm and pulled him up. "You are now a king. How can you kneel to us?"
Violet also embraced Claire, saying with heartfelt distress, "Good children, whatever you have to say, get up first. The ground is cold, hurry up! If you don't get up, Dr. Watson won't either."
He's the king of Lu Layeka. How can he kneel down?
If this got out, what would happen? The pressure of public opinion would be immense.
So, with the support of the two elders, the two young people stood up.
"Dr. Watson, Claire, come and sit down. Let's talk slowly." Violet beckoned to them, not showing any anger at their sudden departure.
Ever since Mr. Marsh came that day, it seemed they had already come to terms with Claire's relationship. After all, onlookers see more clearly. If Mr. Marsh approves, it should be right.
The two young people sat down on the sofa, and Albert personally brewed some tea, feeling quite heavy-hearted.
Seeing the two young people sitting side by side, shoulders touching and fingers intertwined, Violet understood their determination and steadfastness in this relationship.
To persist in separating them further would be meaningless, perhaps even futile.
"Aunt," Rowan said seriously, speaking gently, "Uncle, I want to marry Claire and settle in Arkpool City in the future."
What surprised the two elders was not the first sentence but the second.
"Settle in Arkpool City?" Violet asked, puzzled. "But you are now... you are now the king of Lu Layeka! Such a prosperous country is waiting for you to manage it. How can you settle in Arkpool City?"
