Chapter 793

Nathaniel agreed to marry Isabella.

Henry and Isabella Lancaster stepped forward in shock. "Nathaniel!"

Rosalind's face darkened instantly.

Meanwhile, Isabella curled her lips into a triumphant smirk. She exchanged a knowing glance with Eleanor, and they both grinned.

Mission accomplished.

Isabella's dream had come true. Even though she had been cast out by the Lancaster family, she was about to become Mrs. Hawk. To her, a woman's worth wasn't defined by her actions, but by the man she married. With the Heartchain Curse binding Nathaniel, she would effortlessly secure her position as his wife for life.

She looped her arm through Nathaniel's and smiled sweetly. "I'm so glad you've reconsidered. Let's get married as soon as possible. Being your wife has always been my greatest desire."

Nathaniel glanced at her but remained silent.

Eleanor observed Henry, Isabella Lancaster, and Harrison's defeated expressions with immense satisfaction. Tormenting them, ensuring they never knew peace—that was her ultimate goal.

"Congratulations, you two," Eleanor said, smiling at Isabella and Nathaniel.

Just then, Victoria arrived with Charlotte. "Nathaniel, are you truly going to marry Isabella?"

Charlotte ran to Harrison's side. "Mommy..."

Harrison scooped her up and kissed her cheek. "Charlotte..."

Isabella turned to Victoria. "Mrs. Victoria, you'll soon be my mother-in-law."

Victoria frowned and looked at Nathaniel. "Marriage is a lifelong commitment. You must think this through carefully."

Nathaniel pressed his lips together. "I'm marrying Isabella."

His tone left no room for argument.

Eleanor smiled. "Victoria, let's choose a date. The fifteenth of this month would be perfect. We'll host a grand wedding so Mr. Hawk and Isabella can officially unite."

She turned to Henry and Isabella Lancaster. "Henry, Isabella, you must both attend to bless the happy couple."

"Your blessings would mean everything to me," Isabella said, smirking at Harrison.

Harrison's expression remained icy. "Don't worry. I wouldn't miss it."

Charlotte, in her tiny voice, called out, "Daddy..."

At just three years old, she couldn't comprehend the adult conversations swirling around her.

Nathaniel stepped forward and kissed her forehead. "Be good for Mommy, okay?"

Charlotte nodded. "Okay..."

Isabella beamed. "Charlotte is absolutely precious! I adore her. From now on, I'll treat her as my own."

Harrison tightened her grip on Charlotte. "That won't be necessary. I'm her mother."

Isabella wasn't fazed. "Of course. After Nathaniel and I marry, we'll have our own children anyway. Nathaniel doesn't have a son yet. I'll give him one."

She made sure Harrison heard every word.

Around them, guests began offering congratulations.

"Congratulations to Mr. Hawk and Ms. Lancaster! They've been engaged since childhood. It's wonderful they're finally tying the knot."

"Fate works in mysterious ways. Mr. Hawk and Ms. Lancaster are truly meant to be."

"We'll all be at the wedding. Can't wait to witness the union of the century!"

"Today is doubly joyous—Ms. Harrison becoming the Lancaster heiress, and Mr. Hawk marrying Ms. Lancaster. Congratulations!"

Isabella gazed at Nathaniel with pure delight, then threw a victorious glance at Harrison.

Nathaniel's handsome face remained impassive.

"I'm leaving," he said quietly.
