Chapter 301
In his mind, this was the best place Bonita could possibly go. A whole day passed before Bonita finally replied with a simple, “Okay p>
Scott showed up in a sharp suit, carrying a few gifts. “Relax,” he said, flashing Mamie a reassuring smile. “Your parents already like me. If they ask about the wedding, just say it was my idea. They won’t blame you for anything p>
Mamie hadn’t told him she had lost her memory, and she definitely hadn’t explained that Claire and Josh were really her uncle and aunt, not her parents.
“I’m not nervous,” she replied, keeping her voice steady.
When the door opened, Mamie stepped in with a bright smile. “Dad, Mom, I’m home p>
Claire felt her eyes sting. It had been so long since she’d heard Mamie call her “Mom” like that.
“Mamie, you’re back!” Claire said, her voice trembling a little.
“Claire, Josh, I’ll just put these gifts here. It’s not much, just something small. Sorry for showing up with no warning p>
Josh watched Scott closely, his eyes narrowing a bit. The man seemed even more sincere than last time, almost too earnest.
“Come in, have a seat. You’re not intruding at all,” Josh said.
Scott sat down, but immediately noticed Adonis coming out of the study. The look Adonis gave him was hard and cold, his eyes sharp and full of scrutiny.
“Mamie, this is your brother, right?” Scott asked, trying to be polite.
Adonis didn’t bother to hide his annoyance. He looked like he wished Scott would disappear.
Josh picked up on the tension and shot Adonis a warning look. “Adonis, this is your sister’s boyfriend p>
“Josh, I’m not just her boyfriend anymore p>
Everyone went silent, caught off guard.
Scott reached over and took Mamie’s hand, threading his fingers through hers and holding on tig “I’m mer husband now We

Josh was so stunned he couldn’t get a word out.
Adonis looked furious. “Mamie, marriage is a huge deal. How could you not tell the family p>
“It was my idea,” Scott said before Mamie could answer. “Don’t blame her p>
He looked straight at Adonis, calm but with a challenge in his eyes.
Adonis took a long breath, trying to keep it together. “I don’t approve of this marriage p>
Claire tried to smooth things over. “Scott, Adonis and Mamie have always been close. He probably just needs some time p>
Scott nodded
“This is my fault.
Here’s a card, it’s a wedding gift for Mamie. Also, there’s an apartment near the city hospital. I’ll put it in her name. And any other assets, Mamie will manage those now that we’re married. The wedding probably can’t be too big, maybe twenty tables at most. Because of my job, Mamie has to make do. Even though it happened quickly, our feelings are real. I hope you can understand p>
Mamie almost laughed at how convincing Scott sounded. Even she was starting to believe him.
She looked at her family, her tone gentle but firm. “Adonis, we’re married now. We’re serious about this. Whether you agree or not, hot getting a divorce Dad, Mom, I hope you’ll give us your blessing p>
Josh and Claire exchanged a glance, then Josh smiled. “Of course you have our blessing. Scott, as long as you treat Mamie well, nothing else matters p>
Claire nodded quickly. “That’s right. We just need to pick a date and talk about the wedding details as a family p>
Adonis looked at his parents, then at Mamie, who was as determined as ever. He couldn’t take it anymore and stormed out, slamming the door.
Claire’s smile froze on her face. “Adonis just has a bit of a temper, Scott. Don’t mind him p>
Scott glanced sideways at Mamie, studying her perfect features. “Mamie, should I mind p>
