Chapter 435 After a moment of silence, Francis let out a resigned sigh, “There's no reluctance here.” Nodding, he agreed, "Alright, let's do it... let's get married." Caroline was momentarily stunned, and then suddenly, tears began to flood her eyes.
Francis walked over, took her hand, and said softly, “Don't cry... You're the only one for me, nobody else.” "Really?" "Of course." Sylvia clapped her hands in laughter, "Alright! Now, we've got a wedding to plan!" Not just Sylvia was thrilled; Gilbert was over the moon too.
Back at Golden Oak Manor, he couldn't contain his excitement.
Sherilyn gave him a puzzled look and asked, "They're getting married, and you're this excited?" "Of course, I am." Gilbert didn't even have to think before nodding, "My brother and Caroline, they've been childhood sweethearts, always said they'd stick together for life." Is that so? Sherilyn wanted to ask, what about you? You're so smitten with Caroline, doesn't it bother you? Can someone really love another so much that their happiness is all that matters? "What's on your mind?" Gilbert guessed her thoughts and chuckled, flicking her forehead. "There you go overthinking again. How many times have I told you, there's nothing between Caroline andthat you wouldn't believe." Sherilyn indeed didn't believe it.

The incident four years ago when Caroline had a miscarriage, and now Francis' suspected 'infidelity'...
Regardless of what Sherilyn thought, Francis and Caroline's wedding was set, Francis, being the eldest grandson, was expected to stay at the Johnson Mansion after the wedding. There was no need for a new house; they just had to rearrange their current room.

After all, the wedding is mainly for the bride, and it's most important she's happy.
What surprised Sherilyn was that Caroline had posted a call for entries online.
It was for designing her wedding gown.
In theory, the Johnsons could easily hire top designers, and given Caroline's status in the entertainment world, getting luxury brands to sponsor them wouldn't be a stretch. But she refused.
She opted for a public contest instead, choosing her favorite from the submissions.
Now, without a wedding date set, the news of her and Francis' upcoming nuptials was already the talk of Sunhaven.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSherilyn felt this was Caroline's way of provoking someone.
Whom? Likely, the 'other person' she suspected Francis was involved with! At lunch, Sherilyn and Rebecca discussed it.
"Mr. Francis is getting married! To who was it again?" Rebecca was h eager to gossip, given Caroline's controversial past. "Yeah, that's right." Rebecca clicked her tongue. "Well, it's like they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Sherilyn laughed, "To each their own, right?" "Exactly." Rebecca grinned, leaning in to whisper "I entered that design competition, you know." Sherilyn was surprised, "The wedding gown contest?"
"Yeah." Rebecca nodded, smiling, "Why so shocked? You didn't forget what I do, did you?" Right: Rebecca studied fashion design but was relatively unknown in the industry. Sherilyn was worried, "Aren't you afraid she'll target you?" "Of course, but who cares? I've got to try." Rebecca pouted. "It's an opportunity. What if they really like my design? I could make a nfor myself."
"That's true." Sherilyn nodded. "It's all about the work, after all.) If she m targets you, there's no real loss."
