No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 741

He hastily turned, picking up Mattie to hide his own distress.

"Uncle will take you to get some candy."

With that, York carried the child away.

Peter, who was closest to him, saw the tears in York's eyes.

That single word, "Uncle," was nothing short of torture for York.

Claudia felt a little uneasy. After a few polite words with the others, she took Gideon to find her daughter. Darleen and Peter were getting married, and York would be busy today; she couldn't let her daughter cause any trouble.

After Claudia and Gideon left, the lounge fell silent once more.

The smile on Darleen's delicate face faded. "Claudia's child is already three. When is York going to think about his own future?"

Seeing the grim expressions on his new family's faces, Peter leaned in and whispered to Darleen, "It's our wedding day. Try not to make your family cry."

Old Mr. Ferguson and York's father had always prided themselves on their brilliant son and grandson, believing no one was good enough for him. But for the past three years, the Ferguson elders had tried every trick in the book, both soft and hard, to push York into marriage.

Now, his sister was married, and Claudia had brought back a child who called him uncle, yet York remained unchanged.

Darleen's words were like twisting a knife in her father's and grandfather's hearts.

Every time Wendy thought of her son, all alone in the world, she couldn't help but tear up.

Peter quickly called someone in to touch up Darleen's makeup.

Meanwhile, in the front row of the wedding ceremony management section, Ferguson family bodyguards were stationed at various points around York, blocking any guests who tried to approach him to curry favor.

York, dressed in an expensive suit, sat in his seat. Mattie was perched comfortably on his lap, her little shoulder leaning against his chest as she ate her candy.

Claudia had once thought Mattie's personality was a reflection of Gideon's as a child. She had been mistaken.

When she was little, she had always been just as unruly around York. Though he was often reluctant to have her cling to him, he could never resist her relentless pestering, pleading, and tantrums.

What she had failed to accomplish back then, her daughter had somehow achieved.
