Chapter 40 Future Daughter In Law 

Finished 

The day she was released from prison, you had a physical examination done on her, didn’t you? Samuel knew about her condition, didn’t he?Jeremiah’s voice was like ice. On a freezing day like that, pushing your disabled sister into the water- Samuel, were you trying to kill her?” 

Raylee is my girlfriend,he declared, his voice unwavering. She’s also my future wife. He tried to hurt her, so honestly. shooting him was letting him off easy.” 

Layla sucked in a sharp breath. A flicker of guilt crossed her face. Raylee was already in such a terrible state, yet she was still being used

The Goodridge family fell into silence. Even Waverly’s sobs quieted down

I didn’t mean to kill her,Samuel mumbled, his voice filled with remorse. I’ve explained this so many times. I truly thought she could swim” 

Victor’s gaze dropped to Raylee’s frostbitten hands, and he let out a heavy sigh

This is, at most, a sibling dispute,Alaric finally said, his tone firm. A family affair. Naturally, I will handle it.He paused before his voice took on a sharper edge. But!He turned to Victor, his eyes narrowing. Victor, your son was in the wrong for interfering. He’s an outsider. What right does he have to meddle in my family’s affairs?” 

At that moment, Victor’s demeanor shifted. He no longer carried his earlier passive stance. His voice was calm but commanding. You may see my son’s actions as interference, but if your son harms my future daughterinlaw, then it is my family’s business.” 

The words landed like a thunderclap

Future daughterinlaw

The weight of those words sent shockwaves through the room. It was a subtle but undeniable acknowledgment of Raylee’s status

Jeremiah, make yourself clear,Victor said. What exactly is your relationship with Ms. Goodridge?” 

My girlfriend, Jeremiah answered without hesitation. And my future wife.” 

Victor then turned to Raylee. Ms. Goodridge, are you willing to marry Jeremiah?” 

Raylee hesitated for a couple of seconds, then finally gave a small nod

All right,Victor said with satisfaction before looking at Alaric and Harriet. Do either of you have anything else to say?” 

His meaning was clearthey might soon be family. Would they really want to pursue this tatter further and risk creating

rift

Alaric and Harriet exchanged a look. The situation had taken a completely unexpected turn 

They had introduced, Raylee to Jeremiah for a blind date, hoping she would marry into the Lorimer family. If an alliance could be formed, the benefits to the Goodridge family would be beyond measure. Of course, they knew the chances of the Lorimers taking an interest in Raylee were slimthey had merely been taking a gamble. Even if Jeremiah didn’t choose her, they would have arranged for her to marry into another wealthy family

But now, things had escalated in an entirely different way. Their only son had been shot, yet somehow, that very paved the way for Haylee’s engagement to Jeremiah. In a twisted way, it was a blessing in disguise

After weighing the pros and cons, Alaric finally spoke. My son has been shot, too. Let’s consider this matter settled. Victor

put this behind us and move forward together.” 

Fine, Victor agreed Jeremiah, Layla, let’s go.” 

As the Lorimer family turned to leave, Raylee followed them without hesitation

RayRay!Harriet suddenly called out, her eyes red. I made your favorite mushroom soup myself. Would you come home for lunch tomorrow?” 

Raylee didn’t even turn her head. No need. Thank you.She walked away without looking back

Harriet covered her mouth, trying to stifle her sobs as she clutched Raylee’s medical report. Waverly held her gently. Mom, don’t worry. If we treat Raylee with sincerity, she’ll feel it. One day, she’ll come around.” 

After getting his wounds treated, Jeremiah accompanied his father back to the Lorimer Estate

As they reached the gates, he hesitated, clearly reluctant to part. I’ll have my bodyguard take you back, to the hospital,he said. I need to go home and deal with my father, but I’ll come see you soon” 

Kaylee, exhausted, gave a slight nod

Back in her hospital room, the sharp scent of antiseptic filled the air. She made a brief call to her grandmother to reassure her before finally lying down

Just as she was about to drift off, the door creaked open. Her eyes snapped open. A figure stepped inside

Her expression turned cold. What are you doing here? I need to rest. Leave.” 

Casimir didn’t move. Instead, he shut the door behind him and slowly walked toward the bed, extending both hands

Kaylee’s grip tightened on the blanket as she instinctively leaned away. What do you want?” 

Casimir’s handsome face stiffened, a deep frown settling between his brows. What do you think I want? We’re in a hospital.His voice was tight with frustration. After all these years, don’t you know what kind of person I am?” 

Kayice let out a cold laugh, her lips curling in mockery. No. I really don’t.” 

They had known each other since childhood. They had even been engaged. Even if he had never loved her, the 

together had forged something between them

So why? Why, four years ago, had he chosen to stand by Waverly, a girl he had barely known

She couldn’t understand it, let alone accept it
