“Go wash your face. After dinner, I’ll take you home.”
When she heard this, Laura’s blush faded, her face turning pale as she looked at him. Do I really have to go back?”
‘Back to the Wilson family that suffocated me, only caring about their reputation and forcing me to continue the engagement with Cameron?
‘Didn’t Uncle Bowen say he’d tell me what to do after I woke up? But now he seemed never said that and even planned to send me back there‘ Laura was utterly confused.
She was eager to ask Bowen why he had made such an arrangement, but in the end, her lips parted and closed a few times without uttering a single word.
She lowered her eyes and instinctively wanted to pick at her palm, but this time, what she picked at wasn’t the tender flesh of her palm but white bandages.
Surprised, she raised her hand: Just waking up, she was still in a foggy mind. Apparently, while she was asleep, someone had applied medicine to the gouged part of her palm and bandaged the wound.
She didn’t know who bandaged her, but she knew it must have been arranged by
Bowen.
The thought warmed Laura’s heart up.
“How can you get your passport to marry me if you don’t go back home?” Bowen’s gaze was heavy as he stared at Laura, frowning. “Who taught you to hurt yourself whenever you are in trouble?”
“Uncle Bowen, I didn’t. I wasn’t…” Laura wanted to defend herself.
But the next second, Bowen grabbed her wrist. “Laura, once you became Mrs. Weaver, you couldn’t just swallow your anger like now.”
His gaze moved from Laura’s palm to her face. “Vent your anger when you have it, and take revenge when you have a grudge. Remember, from now on, I’m your backing. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up.
“If you still seem easy to bully like now in the future, people will think I am an easy target, got it?”
The seriousness in Bowen’s eyes made Laura’s heart skip a beat. She nodded with a mix of understanding and confusion.
“Mm, good girl. Let’s go eat first.” Bowen let go of her wrist and instead held her hand, their fingers intertwined as they

already said I wanted to cancel the engagement with Cameron.”
“What your family means doesn’t matter; you can totally ignore it.” Bowen squeezed Laura’s little hand and continued, “Find a chance to bring your passport tomorrow. Let‘ s get the marriage certificate first, and we’ll deal with the rest as it comes.
“With the marriage certificate as a quarantee, you won’t have to worry about me going. back on my word.”
Laura was left speechless, thinking, ‘Getting the marriage certificate tomorrow? That’s pretty sudden, isn’t it?‘
But soon, she was troubled by another question. “What about the engagement with Cameron in three days..
Laura bit her lip and mustered the courage to ask, “Uncle Bowen, can we go public after getting the certificate? I’ll just leave with you and skip the engagement party, okay?”
“No, if we actually go through with that, it’s easy to leave ourselves open to criticism,” Bowen replied firmly. “The engagement party still needs to happen. After all, some things need to be official.”
With that, Bowen tilted his head to look at the uneasy Laura, comforting her, “Don’t overthink it. Just eat and sleep well these three days. Whatever the Wilson family arranges, just go along with it. After the engagement party, I guarantee you’ll leave the Wilson family with me smoothly.”
