After Nicolette finished, she quietly waited for Brandon’s answer,
Ten seconds passed and still, she didn’t hear Brandon’s reply. But she knew Brandon was on the other end of the call and hadn’t hung up. She thought, ‘So he couldn’t accept it?‘
She sighed regretfully but did not force the issue. “Can I take your silence as rejection?”
“I accept!” Before she could finish, Brandon’s deep and hoarse voice sounded. “You know my family is more important than me, right?
“I don’t want a wife who loves me to death
, but one who could truly integrate into my family and become one of us. I want to trust her and give her everything I have.”
His voice was slightly choked. “I’m very touched that you’re willing to love my family and marry me for them. This is the best confession I’ve ever heard in my life. Thanks for being willing to accept me like this, as well as my family.”
At the age of thirty, Brandon had been in love twice. His exes were outstanding and truly loved him.
However, the relationships failed because either the exes, or their families, refused to accept or love his family. But to Brandon, his family was the best.
Only Nicolette wanted to marry him because she cared about his family and wanted to protect them. Brandon had thought he would never meet such a woman.
Nicolette was shocked. She thought, ‘Is Brandon… crying? Why would such a prickly and proud man cry for such a reason?
help but be moved. Her voice became gentle. “Your family is very good. I fully understand your For a moment, she couldn’t feelings for them. I’d be very fortunate to become part of your family.
“However, Brandon, I must emphasize that before I retire, I might not be able to accompany you and take care of you. I might not even see you more than a few times a year.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Brandon interrupted, “I will always live with my family. They will take care of me and accompany me. Even if you are not by my side, I will not be lonely, much less feel unloved.
“I also spend a lot of time on my career. I don’t have enough time to accompany my wife and take care of her. If I can’t do it,
you often. I won’t ask it of my wife. It’s fine if you don’t have time to visit me. I’ll just visit
“If we have a child, my family and I will take good care of the child. You don’t have to worry about it.” He paused and added seriously, “If we don’t have children because of either one of us, it doesn’t matter.
“I have a lot of siblings. They will have a lot of children. There will always be the laughter and joy of children around us.”
Nicolette’s eyes turned slightly red as she listened. “Thanks, Brandon. Although what you said hasn’t happened yet, I’m already looking forward to such a future.”
On the other end of the phone, Brandon stood up straight to prevent himself from crying. “Nicolette, I swear on my life I will cherish how you feel for me and my family. I will never betray you.”
Nicolette smiled gently, “Alright, I swear that other than our country, you and your family are the most important to me. Just like my family”
If anyone saw Brandon now, they would definitely be surprised that such a manly guy could cry. If anyone saw Nicolette now, they would be shocked that the renowned youngest general had such a gentle side to her.
Brandon said, “When are you
I’ll pick you up. Also, what kind of wedding do you want? We can do whatever you want.”

Nicolette replied, “You can come and pick me up anytime. You can meet my grandfather and my family too.

“If your family doesn’t mind, we can release the news of our marriage before registering our marriage. Then, we can hold a small, private wedding and invite our most important relatives and friends.”
Most importantly, she had to let the Powell family in Dichester know about this as soon as possible.
“Alright,” Brandon said without hesitation, “That’s a great suggestion. Let’s do as you say.”
He paused and his voice softened. There was even a hint of embarrassment in it. “It’s too late today. I need to prepare. I’ll see you tomorrow morning at the earliest.”
After all, he had to tell his family the news and prepare presents for Nicolette’s family.
Nicolette said, “I’ll always be waiting. I won’t go anywhere. Remember to rest too.”
At this point, they stopped talking. Both of them needed time to digest such a major decision too.
Several seconds later, Brandon said goodnight and hung up after hearing Nicolette say it back. He fell back onto the bed. He closed his eyes and a blissful smile appeared on his lips.
At this moment, he felt as if he was on an indestructible boat, floating on the calm sea under the moon. His heart felt at
peace.
Nicolette was like the bright moon in the sky, shining down on him. It also gave him an unprecedented sense of security, smoothing his uneasiness.
Before dawn the next day, Brandon woke up early and went to the kitchen. He made breakfast for the entire family according to instructions on a cooking video.
His culinary skills could not be considered good, but he could still make simple things like eggs, spaghetti, hamburgers, and orange juice.
When the Donovan family woke up and saw Brandon making breakfast, they were shocked.
One of them said, “Brandon, what happened? We’re your family. If you’re in trouble, just tell us. Don’t scare us like this.”
Another added, “Didn’t you say that the food you make tastes terrible? You also said that if there’s a choice, you’ll never eat what you cook.”
Tina said, “I think Brandon’s breakfast is quite delicious. Your family is too humble. It’s tough on others to match up to all of you.”
“Sit down,” Brandon said. He wore an apron and placed plates of food on the table. “I have something important to announce. Please don’t be too shocked.”
The Donovan family looked as though they would never be surprised by anything.
After that, Brandon did not shy away from Tina and Diane who were staying at their house. He announced, “I’m going to marry Nicolette!”
Everyone was stunned. Even Athena froze. All she could think was, ‘What happened? Why is Brandon suddenly marrying Nicolette?‘
Brandon had been holding it in for a long time and could finally explain it to everyone. “Last night, Nicolette called me and said she wanted to marry me because I was the most suitable man she knew.

“Moreover, she had a good impression of me and liked our family very much. She felt that she was lucky to become part of our family. Coincidentally, I think the same too.”
He didn’t tell them about Nicolette wanting to help his family and protect them. He only told them everything else, including how they would still be separated after marriage and that Nicolette was unlikely to accompany and take care of him.
After everyone heard this, they were speechless for a long time.
Brandon looked at everyone. He adjusted his glasses. “Why are you all so quiet? Do you guys object?”
