Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1003:

“Marissa, I’ve known you since you were a little girl.

From the day I first met you, I’ve thought of you as my future wife.

My feelings run deep, and I can’t just walk away from that.”

Marissa looked at him in surprise.

She knew the Brock family had done so much for her family over the years, and if Everett wasn’t willing to break the engagement, she couldn’t bring herself to push him away.

Everett continued, his voice steady, “I’m ready to stand by you through every risk, Mr. Nash.

My grandfather stands behind me on this as well.

In fact, he’s more than ready for Marissa and me to marry soon and make him a great-grandfather.”

At that moment, a flurry of footsteps approached, and Hannah appeared, her face filled with urgency as she said to Paul… Paul noticed Hannah’s troubled look, a clear sign that she was uneasy.

“What’s going on, Hannah?”

Hannah glanced at Everett, gathering her thoughts before responding.

“Brian, you’ve been missing for twenty-two years.

Most of our family members thought we had lost you.

Now that everyone knows you’re back, they can hardly contain their excitement.

They’re all waiting outside your room.

You’ve become a symbol of hope for them.

The elders admire you, your cousins look up to you, and the younger ones grew up hearing stories about you.

They can’t wait to see you.

I can’t hold them back with just a few sentences.

If you don’t go out soon, they might just come rushing in.”

With Everett present, she chose not to mention the family tensions brewing under the surface, knowing that Gerry had been the one to ignite the excitement that drew everyone to Paul’s room.

Paul sensed the unspoken issues but kept his expression steady.

“I should probably go out and greet them,” he said.

“I shouldn’t have avoided them in the garden.”

He then turned to Elvis, who was standing nearby.

“Could you get me my mask?”

Elvis sprang into action, quickly retrieving the mask and handing it to Paul.

Paul carefully slid the mask over his face, adjusting it for a comfortable fit.

He glanced at Marissa.

“Is it okay for me to meet them like this?”
