Chapter 262 I Hope To Receive Your Blessing

Casimir simply couldn’t get in touch with Raylee, so he canceled two important meetings that day just to wait for her at Jexburgh University.
After waiting around for what felt like forever, all he saw was her engaging in playful banter with another man.
Naturally, he got really angry.
After all, she had been missing for a full five months, and he had been searching for her tirelessly the whole time.
He had even lost count of the number of nights he had spent intoxicated.
He was consumed with a powerful desire to clarify things with her, to assure her that he had not intentionally conned her of her shares.
That was merely a show he put on for Alaric to stall for more time.
Given the chance in the future, he was determined to return Raylee’s shares.
He had thought he would never have the chance to explain himself to her, only to have Raylee suddenly return out of nowhere.
He was incredibly thrilled when he learned of her return yesterday.
This time, he was absolutely determined not to lose her again.
Casimir was heading toward Raylee, but was intercepted by the oncoming Waverly.
With a face full of surprise and delight, Waverly asked, “Casimir, did you come to pick me up from school? I’m so happy-”
“No.” Casimir replied vehemently, his denial a reflex born out of his frustration.
“Huh? Did you come here looking for Raylee, then?”
In an instant, Waverly’s heart sank.
The sudden sense of loss made her

She then voiced her grievances by saying, “Casimir, we’ve already announced our engagement to the world. I’m your fiancée! How could you still harbor fantasies about Raylee? How could you do this when I’ve given you my whole heart? I truly love you!”
As she spoke, Waverly couldn’t help but cover her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
Casimir had no idea when she would overcome her habit of bursting into tears at the drop of a hat.
At that moment, he became even more irritated, not wanting to utter a single word.
As he occasionally glanced toward Raylee, he saw that Raylee had shared some words with Halston. Though it was unclear what exactly she said, Halston seemed to be in high spirits when he walked away after their conversation.
The two of them appeared to be thoroughly enjoying their conversation.
This caused feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment to peak in Casimir’s heart.
Suddenly, a plan began to form in his mind.
He wanted to test and see if Raylee still harbored any feelings for him.
While Waverly was still shedding tears, Casimir patiently said, “What I mean is, I actually came to clarify things with Raylee. Stop crying: I’ll take you to her right now and clear things up. There’s no chance of anything happening between me and her.”
Excited, Waverly looked up. “Really? Casimir, you’re not tricking me, are you?”

The next moment, he took Waverly’s hand and walked toward Raylee.
Raylee was just heading out of the school gates when the two suddenly stopped her.
Seeing that the ones blocking her path were Casimir and Waverly, she was somewhat taken aback.

“What’s up? Wasn’t the lesson from yesterday enough? Or are you two looking for another beating today? I’m good to go, but I don’t know if you two can take it!”
Her face held a half–smile, causing her to appear as harmless as a lamb. But in reality, a second glance would send shivers down anyone’s spine.
Waverly felt a touch of fear and silently took a step back.
However, upon seeing Casimir holding her hand, she was suddenly filled with confidence again. With a radiant smile, she proudly exclaimed, “Did you just finish school too, Raylee? Casimir took time out of his busy schedule to pick me up. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted. Where do you live, Raylee? If it’s on our way, maybe Casimir could give you a ride home too.”
Before Casimir could utter a word, Waverly had already spoken for him.
He simply stood there, quietly observing Raylee’s reaction without uttering a word.
In the end, she showed no reaction. There was not even a hint of change in her expression.
Her composed demeanor instantly threw Casimir into a state of panic.
“That won’t be necessary,” Raylee said, rejecting them with a stern look on her face. She then walked past them and to leave.
got ready
Casimir turned around and continued to stop her as he said, “Wavy and I are about to get engaged. I hope to receive your blessing. Regardless of what happened between us, we’ve known each other since we were kids and were childhood sweethearts. I don’t want our relationship to become too strained.”
Waverly hadn’t anticipated that Casimir would draw a clear line between himself and Raylee.
She couldn’t contain her excitement and found herself crying again. As she sobbed, she spoke, “Raylee, the three of us have had misunderstandings in the past, but that’s all behind us now. Casimir’s thoughts mirror mine. If we could have your blessing, it would surely make our happiness complete.”
