Chapter 1467
Chapter 1466:
Cole didn’t hesitate to offer his help. He covered all the wedding expenses and, on top of that, gifted them a luxurious mansion valued at one billion dollars, which also served as the venue for the ceremony.
To match that gesture, Elliana presented Heather with an extravagant investment fund worth hundreds of millions.
Adah refused to be outdone and surprised the couple with an impressive check as a wedding gift.
The Evans family had always treated the Fletchers as their own, and everyone attended the celebration. Even Ruben was present, delivering a fortune in the form of property transfers.
Standing there, Hugh looked at the pile of checks and deeds in his hands, then at Heather and their five little miracles. A sincere, full smile spread across his face — a happiness that was simple, deep, and genuine.
Myles and Aron watched the scene, unable to hide a certain envy. In the end, they had to admit it: Hugh was incredibly fortunate. Not everyone could end up building a complete family all at once. They were genuinely impressed. Paulina had been right from the start — he was, without question, the future and the pride of the Fletchers.
Meanwhile, Ruben gazed at the five children playing and felt a wave of nostalgia wash over him.
So far, only Cole had given him a great-grandson and a great-granddaughter. Silently, he wished his other grandchildren would settle down soon. The thought of a house full of laughter made him smile.
Even so, he had raised the bar for anyone who aspired to join the Evans family. In his view, every future partner had to be as extraordinary as Elliana or Adah, and in his opinion, only Jason seemed capable of finding someone like that.
At that moment, Jason stood apart, quietly observing the lively chaos around him. Ruben approached with a kind smile. “Jason, when are you finally going to get married p>
He didn’t know that Elliana was in fact Death Thorn, so he couldn’t understand why his grandson refused to discuss his past engagement. Still, he respected his silence. But the fact that no one mentioned Death Thorn didn’t mean Jason could avoid the subject of marriage forever.
“Grandfather, I’m never going to get married,” he replied with calm resolve.

Ruben went still, taken aback. “What are you saying, Jason? Why would you make a decision like that so suddenly p>
“It’s not sudden,” he answered serenely. “I’ve thought about it a great deal. My responsibility is to protect the Evans family from the shadows, without drawing attention. Marriage isn’t for me. I’m willing to put the family first, even if it means giving up my own happiness p>
“Protecting the family and being happy aren’t mutually exclusive,” Ruben replied gently.
But Jason shook his head, interrupting him with quiet respect. “Please, Grandfather, let me decide for myself. You don’t need to worry. I truly am happy p>
Ruben didn’t know how to respond. His grandson was steadfast and capable, and once he made a decision, there was no changing his mind. Accepting it was all the old man could do.
After his grandfather walked away, Jason let his gaze wander across the room until it found Elliana, standing beside Cole. He hadn’t lied — he was at peace. He would spend his life protecting the Evans family, looking after Cole, and watching over Elliana in silence, the woman he had kept in the deepest reaches of his heart.
