Chapter 474 Did Mr. Murray Have a Daughter?!

Devon didn't allow Corona to fall in love with Wilton.

But at this moment, he didn't know what was going on. He, who had been fearless all his life, didn't dare to step forward, rudely separate them, and harshly question her, who gave her the permission to fall for Wilton!

Devon turned around in loneliness, step by step, he walked towards the villa.

The midday sun was just right, casting its light on Corona and Wilton, making them look even more handsome and beautiful. They were a match made in heaven. Even the ugly scar on her face was shining beautifully at this moment, but it also highlighted his tall figure, making him seem even more lonely.

It seemed as if, in the vast expanse of heaven and earth, only he remained.

It seemed like he had really lost the most precious thing in his life.

Although, up until now, he did not know what the most precious treasure in his life was.

The warm sunlight seemed to dispel all the gloom in one's heart, leaving only a heart-pounding warmth.

Corona thought that after her uncle left, her life would only be left in darkness. But because of Wilton, her life could shine brightly again.

From the year she personally buried the bodies of her parents, the thing she feared most in her life was parting by life and death.

Also because of Wilton's presence, this time, dealing with her uncle's aftermath, she wasn't as lonely and desperate as before.

As she turned around, she could feel the warmth of his embrace, as if, even if the sky were to fall, he would hold up a clear sky for her.

At that time, Corona truly felt that he was the light in her life, her eternity.

Much later, she finally understood how naive and ridiculous her thoughts had been at that time.

It's just that some things, she understood, were ultimately too late...

The recent weather has been quite capricious. It was sunny at noon, but in the afternoon, a strong wind blew in Sea City, accompanied by a light drizzle.

It seemed as if a storm was brewing in the mountains.

Until the next morning, the outside was still a raging wind, cutting people's faces like a knife. As the wind blew, because there was rain in the wind, the face would be a bit wet.

The weather today was really bad, but it was a good day.

Most suitable for marriage.

So, even though the gale today made people shiver, there were still quite a few who held their weddings.

The number of people getting their licenses at the Civil Affairs Bureau was exceptionally high. Everett originally wanted to make special arrangements to clear the place for the day, but Penelope didn't want any special treatment. So, like the most ordinary couple, they wore casual couple outfits and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their license in a low-key manner.

Penelope and Everett had agreed that he would come to pick her up at nine o'clock this morning, and they would go to the civil affairs bureau together.

But it wasn't even seven o'clock yet, and he had already come over.

The usually calm and composed man was now as excited as a young boy experiencing his first love.

Penelope found it somewhat amusing, yet she felt an indescribable sense of being touched in her heart.

Also, a faint sense of guilt.

Because, she really wasn't too thrilled about getting her license today.

But, she still wanted to hold his hand, take a photo together at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and have their smiling faces printed together on that little red book.

She was also willing to walk down the long red carpet with him, making a lifelong promise under the witness of relatives and friends.

In this world, sometimes, two people being together doesn't necessarily require a love that's deeply engraved in their hearts. She wanted to be good to the man in front of her, so, she was willing to give him a lifetime.

Although, her lifetime was indeed somewhat brief.

Everett was usually dressed in a suit and shoes, and he had a particular fondness for black. His all-black, handmade suit made him look restrained and noble. However, a man in a suit always seemed a bit mature, and his temperament was particularly cold.

He wore casual clothes today, still in black, but he looked exceptionally young.

It was so reminiscent of the school days, when we all chased after the school hunk together.

Everett felt a bit embarrassed for waking Penelope up so early, but having lived for most of his life, he couldn't contain his excitement about finally convincing a young girl to marry him.

Moreover, he rarely saw a couple's outfit that caught his eye, and he couldn't wait to wear it with Penelope.

Actually, Penelope rarely wore black in her daily life, she preferred lighter colors.

But if a person was beautiful, they could pull off any color.

She already looked young for her age, and the black casual outfit she was wearing made her appear even more like a minor.

Especially her face, with skin as delicate as a blown eggshell, slightly upturned eyes that were captivating and pure yet enticing. She outshone countless internet-famous beauties and school belles with just a glance. Her faint smile seemed to turn back time, reminding people of their youthful school days. An unintentional glance back from her was enough to stun the boys for half their lives, like a goddess.

After Penelope changed into her casual clothes and came out of the bedroom, Everett's heart pounded like a drum.

He had always believed that in one's life, one could only experience love at first sight once. But after meeting Penelope, he realized that this was not the case.

It seemed that every time he saw her, he experienced an uncontrollable heartbeat.

There was a long line in the Civil Affairs Bureau, filled with young couples coming to get their certificates, their hearts filled only with their beloved ones. No one really noticed that in the long line, there was the famous Mr. Murray, and the rising star in the entertainment industry, Miss Penelope.

Penelope also thought that she could quietly get the certificate with Everett today. However, before it was their turn, suddenly a large group of reporters rushed in with cameras.

The reporters immediately recognized Penelope and Everett, their voices filled with an indescribable excitement. However, when they asked Penelope questions, their voices carried a clear malice.

"Mr. Murray, were you really going to register your marriage with Penelope today? Had you thought it all through?"

"Penelope, what means did you use to force Mr. Murray to abandon his wife and child and marry you?!"

"Penelope, did you ever consider Mr. Murray's wife? Did you ever think about his five-year-old daughter?!"

"Penelope, you destroyed someone else's family, forcing Mr. Murray's wife and children to leave him. Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

"Mr. Murray, did you know that your wife left you with your daughter willingly, was she forced by Penelope?!"

"Penelope, you're a third party, yet you have the audacity to break up someone else's family. Are you so desperate to climb the social ladder?!"

***

The reporter's questions were getting sharper and sharper, but Penelope was completely dumbfounded. Everett had told her that he had never been in a relationship before, so how could he possibly have a wife, let alone a five-year-old daughter?!

Penelope was puzzled when a little girl with two braids ran crying to her and Everett.

Her face, marked with obvious tear stains, looked unspeakably helpless and pitiful.

She tugged pitifully at Penelope's cuff, "Auntie, please, don't take my dad away. Can you give my dad back to me?"
