The Million-Dollar Heart

Arthur glanced nervously at his daughter, only to find she wasn't paying any attention to his reaction.

Arthur pursed his lips, "Dad, that's not what I meant. I was just wondering... aren't they rushing things? We haven't even set a date for Vivienne's wedding yet."

Yorick pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Their wedding should have happened by now. It was Sasha who insisted that Vivienne's biological father must be present at her wedding. Then she fell into a coma, and the wedding was delayed. It's not appropriate to postpone it any further. You, as her father, have been obstructing the young couple enough!"

"It's about time we all gathered here to settle on a wedding date for the kids."

Yorick understood Arthur's nitpicking towards Percival; after all, he himself wasn't too keen on letting Vivienne marry so young!

The Linklater family had waited years for their first granddaughter, who turned out to be so exceptional. Naturally, they wanted to keep her at home for a few more years!

Had Vivienne not been involved with Percival before returning to the Linklater family, Yorick would have chased away any suitor with a stick!

But considering the young couple had been together for so long and had even gotten their marriage license, it was no longer appropriate to interfere.

In the end, Yorick left the final decision to Vivienne, "What do you think, Vivienne?"

Vivienne raised her eyebrows, glancing at Arthur with a look that was both there and not, "It's time."

Arthur, "

Sigh!

There was nothing he could do!

His little darling was set on her path, and there was no turning her back.
