Chapter 18
This was Elliott’s most desired wish in twenty–five years.
From the moment he first saw Helen in high school, his heart could not longer accommodate anyone else.
Unfortunately, at that time Helen was completely focused on her studies, not caring at all about love. Every person who sent her a love letter was cruelly rejected by her.
He was both grateful and sad at that time.
Fortunately, she did not have anyone she liked, unfortunately, it seems that it would be very difficult for her to catch up with her.
However, Elliott carefully thought about it and decided to muster up the courage to confess to Helen.
Unfortunately, before he could confess, the two of them went to different universities because of the college entrance examination.
When Elliott next heard about Helen, she had already married Carter.
That night, Elliott’s feet were surrounded by empty bottles of wine.
But he still couldn’t get over her.
He had been waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
Later, he finally waited for Helen to become a widow.
Upon hearing this news, Elliott was so excited that he wished he could

set off two firecrackers on the spot.
He didn’t even have time to inform his parents, so he quickly asked someone to hire a matchmaker for him.
Even though Helen rejected him so many times during the period, he finally waited for a good outcome.
Thinking of this, he held the person in his arms even tighter.
The next morning, Elliott and Helen got in the car and drove along the newly built road towards the distant port.
Because the island is too remote, many supplies have to be brought over by cruise ship, and with the long distance, the cruise ship cant only come once a month.
So the 15th of every month is the day when islanders go to the cruise ship market.
Elliott held Helen in his arms, protecting her from being pushed by others, as he carefully helped her board the cruise ship.
Because it had been a long time since I last visited the island, the supplies on the cruise ship were very abundant, with everything one could possibly need.
Not long after boarding the cruise ship, Elliott bought a lot of things.
Things like Ovaltine, perfume, dresses, pearl watches, etc., were almost all bought for Helen.
Helen felt sorry seeing Elliott spending so much money, and quickly grabbed his hand.

Elliott, enough, it’s just too much…
Elliott smiled and took her hand, saying, “But I feel like it’s not enough.”

From the moment I started liking you, I began saving money, purpose of ensuring that you have a good life, lacking nothing and not needing to envy others. Besides, who else would I spend my money on if not you? Moreover, my family members are wealthy themselves, and they e

Seeing his determination, Helen didn’t say anything more and instead. took the initiative to buy him some clothes and a bicycle to make it easier for him to get around.
By the time they left, the things they bought were almost too much for the pickup truck to hold.
Finally, they tied some large items to the roof of the car before heading
back.
A few days later, Helen and Elliott visited the famous marriage officiant on the island again with gifts in hand, asking him to choose an auspicious day for their wedding.
After a thorough investigation by the marriage registrars, the wedding date for the two was finally set for one month later.
With the wedding date set, the couple began busily preparing for the wedding.
The first thing to do was to obtain marriage documents from the relevant authorities.
When the two of them wrote the words “voluntary marriage” together

on the letter, a strange sense of happiness suddenly arose.
This also meant that they took a big step towards a husband and wife relationship.
After receiving the marriage documents, the two of them hurried to the City Hall without stopping.
When signing the marriage agreement, both of them were extremely excited.
Helen looked at the four big words “marriage agreement” written on the paper, and inexplicably remembered the time many years ago when she and Carter got married.
