Too Late To Say I Love You novel Chapter 15

Jared Crawford was still indifferent as though he was an emotionless robot. “Yes, get the butler to arrange it. Let’s have it in one week’s time.”

Janice was overwhelmed by immense joy. She had waited for many years, and he finally agreed to marry her!

She could not describe how elated she was at that moment, so she cried tears of joy while she held Jared’s hands. “Thank you, Jared, thank you for willing to take me as your wife. I’ve been waiting for this day for a very, very long time…”

Nonetheless, Jared still stared with hollow eyes at the ceiling. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

The news of Jared marrying Janice was soon spread to Grandpa Crawford. The old man was so furious that he pounded his walking stick on the ground. “B*stard! B*stard! Gwen had just passed away, her funeral hasn’t been held, and it hasn’t even been seven days. How could he marry another woman? Is he crazy?!”

“What happened to him?” Grandpa Crawford was startled because he had never seen his son like that.

“Ah, Mr. Crawford only realized after Mrs. Crawford left that she was the person whom he truly loved. That said, he dares not face the truth because it hurts him more, so he rather he never realizes.

“As such, Mr. Crawford decided to marry Janice Sanders to make himself forget the fact that he actually loves Gwen.

“In other words, he’s only marrying Janice to escape from reality — him loving Gwen, who was already gone.”

Grandpa Crawford understood it right away. “You’re saying that he’s marrying Janice to go back to the start — when he hasn’t realized that he loves Gwen?”

The butler answered, “Yes.”

Grandpa Crawford fell butt first to his seat and mumbled, “What’s going on…”
