Chapter 422: Chapter 421 Emily Neville
"I am willing to be with you wherever and whenever, for honor or disgrace, for rich or poor, in sickness or death."
These were the vows that Barron and Bonnie swore to each other in the church just now.
Even though Bonnie already knew the essence of this marriage, she had to admit that at that moment, she felt unprecedented happiness. Which English girl hadn't imagined that she would hear a handsome noble say such words to her at an extremely gorgeous moment in the future?
Although it was like a dream, what was happening now was indeed a real reality.
Perhaps, this is enough...
Just as Bonnie told Holly Branson, Barron and she chose a small island in the Balearic Islands of Spain for their honeymoon. It is located in the western Mediterranean and the current season is perfect for sunbathing.
After sailing with Abramovich on his superyacht, Fascinating Oceans, Barron also ordered a superyacht, Devonshire Poseidon, from the Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard in Germany. The superyacht is over 500 feet long and will take more than two years to build...
Therefore, when his super yacht was not yet completed, Abramovich gladly lent him his own "Mesmerizing Seas" for Barron to use on his honeymoon.
In September, you can already feel the autumn in London. It is slightly cooler in the morning and evening, with temperatures below 20 degrees.
However, after arriving in the Mediterranean, the temperature immediately rose due to the unique climate here. It can't be said to be hot, but it is the most comfortable summer climate.
It's a rare vacation for Barron this year. Although he needs to be accompanied by bodyguards and staff, at least he can spend most of his time with Bonnie and relax.
…
After the honeymoon, Barron returned to London and then flew to France.
On September 25, the former Mrs. Hall, now Catherine Neville, gave birth to a girl in a small town in the south of France.
Barron's third daughter, named Emily, did not take the surname Cavendish for the time being, but took her mother Catherine's surname, and her full name was Emily Neville.
Before this, Catherine's father and stepmother had come to visit her. Her father had just learned about Catherine's pregnancy, but at that time Catherine only said that the child was not from the Hall family, but did not reveal who the father of the child was...
In Catherine's father's opinion, since Colin Hall had passed away, it would not be a big deal for Catherine to find a man after inheriting such a large inheritance. However, he still warned her not to be cheated.
In the end, because her father had business to take care of, her stepmother Ivana was left to help take care of Catherine.
Catherine's biological mother died of illness when she was very young. This woman named Ivana was married to her father when Catherine was in college. She was only four or five years older than Catherine, but the relationship between the two was quite good.
However, on the day of Catherine's delivery, her father and stepmother were also present. Naturally, they finally learned that the biological father of the baby girl born by their daughter was actually the current Duke of Devonshire, the richest man in England.
Barron Cavendish was naturally no stranger to Catherine's father. After all, Catherine's engagement with Barron's elder brother was decided by her father and the previous old duke.
Therefore, the other party's mood can be said to be very complicated, not only because of Catherine's previous disputes with the Devonshire family - it was obvious that their actions at the time, no matter what the reason, had destroyed the relationship with the Devonshire family.
Also, speaking of which, Catherine was once the fiancée of Barron's good brother, that is, Barron's "future sister-in-law"…
And now Catherine has a child with Barron, her "brother-in-law"...
All these factors made Catherine's father feel a little awkward at first when he met Barron.
However, the current Barron Cavendish was no longer the "unemployed" young man in the other's memory. The superior temperament that he inadvertently revealed after being tempered, as well as the calm and measured way of dealing with people, made Catherine's father feel a little unfamiliar.
However, having been in the business world for a long time, Catherine's father was good at judging the situation. Thinking of Barron's status and position at that time, it would not be a bad thing if his daughter really followed him. On the contrary, it would be far better for his family than the Hall family.
Therefore, the atmosphere between the two sides soon became harmonious...
Once they accepted this setting, the Neville family would be able to adapt to it - Catherine was a widow, and the Duke of Devonshire had just gotten married. After all, in terms of status, even when he was unmarried, the possibility of Catherine becoming a duchess was almost non-existent.
It's not that a widow can't marry a duke and become a duchess - there aren't too many such things in British history. But Catherine's previous identity as Barron's good brother's fiancée doesn't seem appropriate.
But at the same time, being able to cling to the "big tree" of Barron will bring many benefits to both Catherine and the Neville family.
The Neville family is involved in real estate and art transactions. Well, from this we can see that they were once wealthy. Their ancestor once held the title of earl, but their branch declined later.
During the conversation, Barron talked to Catherine's father about art transactions and entrusted him with a task.
He mentioned that he was very interested in Chinese culture and that there were many Chinese antiques scattered around Europe, especially in England and France.
Given Barron's status, he was not interested in common goods. He hoped that the other party could collect some high-quality antiques for him.
Catherine's father would certainly not refuse such a "good job" as it would not only help him get closer to the Duke of Devonshire, but also allow him to get a commission from it. He said that with his professional ability, he would definitely find the best Chinese antiques for His Royal Highness at the lowest price - even through some means, it would not be impossible to get some collections from official museums such as the British Museum and the Louvre.
After all, they have too many collections in this area, and many of them are even kept in the basement. There has been no vacant booth for display for many years. If the price is right, the other party does not mind selling some...
After finalizing the matter, Barron stayed with Catherine at the estate in southern France for a few days and then left.
Catherine will take her daughter here to recuperate for a while and then return to London.
It is already very difficult for Barron to spare a few days to accompany her now, but it will be much more convenient for them to meet after returning to London.
Barron did not return to London, but took his entourage on the Devonshire to his next destination, China.
