Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 919: 268: Omnipotent Viola, seize your youth with poetry and wine! _7
 

No man willingly tarnishes his own reputation.

Nevertheless, Delia Frieman was still basking in the dream of prince and princess, totally unaware that she was no princess at all.

Beyond her physical appearance, she had nothing.

At that moment, Mrs. Eyre ran over, clearly blaming Delia, “Delia, even if you’re not interested in Dylan, you shouldn’t insult him like that. After all, he’s a local from Capital City. There are tons of young girls who wish to be with someone like him. You ought to seize this opportunity.”

Delia looked at Mrs. Eyre and replied, “Thank you for your kindness, but I think this opportunity should be meant for someone else. I don’t need it.”

Mrs. Eyre frowned in response.

Rachel Barton also thought Delia was ungrateful.

After Mrs. Eyre left, Rachel continued, “Ella, I don’t know how to put it, but from my perspective, you need to be pragmatic. Put yourself in the shoes of the man’s parents, would you really agree? Furthermore, I think that Noah Reed is just toying with you. He’s not sincere. Ella, don’t waste your time on him.”

There were plenty of good girls around Noah Reed. Why on earth would he pursue Delia Frieman?

He was merely trifling with her.

Yet, Delia took it seriously.

Uncertain emotions flickered on Delia’s face.

Indeed.

Rachel was right.

If she were in that position, she would definitely not allow her own daughter to date a woman like herself…

Rachel said no more, only added, “Ella, you should think about it. I need to return to the university. Also, Dylan Turley is indeed a good catch, though he is a bit demanding. But he does have the capital to be.”

Even though Dylan wasn’t all that great, being with him would be perks for Delia.

After finishing, Rachel turned and walked away.

Delia’s face displayed utter desolation.

She was heartbroken.

At that moment, a phone ringtone filled the air.

She took out her phone.

It was a call from Noah Reed. She wanted to answer it, but Rachel’s words rang in her ears again.

In the end, she didn’t pick up.

“Ella,” a pleasant voice rang in her ears at this moment, “What a coincidence.”

Delia raised her head to see a young woman holding a pile of study materials, her hair tied in a bun, looking youthful and dazzling. It was a breath of fresh air.

“Viola.”

Viola Thompson gave a slight smile, “I was just about to bring over some study materials for you and I didn’t know I would run into you here.”

Delia stood up and took the study materials from Viola, “Thank you, Viola.”

“It’s nothing,” seeing Delia’s expression wasn’t right, Viola pressed on, “Ella, are you okay?”

Delia sighed.

Being a highly educated individual, Viola had unique perspectives on issues. Delia voiced her troubles.

Upon hearing this, Viola said to Delia, “Ella, since you’ve already made your situation clear to him and he and his family have explicitly said that they don’t care about your past, why are you still burdened? Firstly, you didn’t deceive him. Secondly, you two have feelings for each other. In my opinion, if you like each other, you should be together. Even if the end result isn’t ideal, at least you’ve experienced something. Looking back on life, you’ll not have regrets.”

Here, Viola paused, “Life seems long, but it’s actually quite short. The time we truly have to enjoy our youth is just a few years. Life is short, so let’s enjoy it while we’re still young. At the moment, the most important thing is to live with abandon, to drink the strongest wine, to meet the people we most want to meet.”

Live lives true to ourselves, with no regrets for the past or the future.

In just a few words, Viola shed light on Delia’s thoughts.

There was a Chinese saying that immediately came to her mind – one word of enlightenment is better than ten years of study.

Viola was right. The most important thing in life is our happiness. There might not be a result in the end, but as long as we’ve experienced it, there won’t be any regrets.

“Viola, thank you!” Delia grabbed her bag, “I have something to tend to, you can give the study materials to Rachel later.”

Saying so, Delia turned and ran.

She had something more important to do.

Seeing her figure disappearing into the distance, Viola said, “Good luck, Ella.”

Looking back at Viola, Delia echoed, “Good luck.”

Delia hailed a cab and once she got in, she dialed Noah’s number, “Are you at the office?”

“Sis? I’m at the office, you…”

Before he could finish, Delia hung up.

Confused, Noah called her back.

Delia picked up, “Wait for me at the door of the office building. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

She thought, she now had the answer.

Viola was right.

Life is short, spend it well while we’re still young.

After hanging up, Delia looked at the driver in the front seat and urged, “Master, please hurry.”

Feeling helpless, the driver replied, “My lady, I’m already going as fast as I can.”

“Faster! I’ll give you extra.”

Upon hearing about the extra cash, the driver’s attitude immediately changed, “Okay!”

Ten minutes later, the cab arrived at the office building.

Delia took out a 100-dollar banknote from her bag, “Thanks, driver. Keep the change.”

Noah was already waiting at the door.

Delia looked at him, trying to calm her nerves. She adjusted her breathing and slowly walked towards him.

“Sis.”

Delia went on, “Stand still, I have something to tell you.”

Seeing that Delia was serious, Noah was very nervous.

What did Delia want to tell him?

Could it be…

Suddenly, Noah had a bad premonition.

“Sis, didn’t we agree to talk about it in three days?”

Delia laughed, “Noah, let’s be together.”

For a moment, Noah thought he was hearing things.

“What…what did you say?”

Delia repeated, “I said let’s be together.”

Never before had she desired so fervently to be with Noah.

Just like a regular couple.

Drinking milk tea, eating hot pot, watching movies.

Noah was so excited that words failed him. He picked Delia up and twirled her around on the spot, shouting, “Sis, am I dreaming?”
