Remember me...

Chapter 20 "The trip to America"

- Thanks said Albert, wish me good luck...

- Good luck! Said the three others!

Albert went to the restaurant to meet Josephine's family. Wilson Chamberlain and his wife Siobhan were part of the England's high society. They were proud to have a daughter in the orders, and a nurse who was helping the wounded at war. But now to know that she had left everything, in a spur of the moment decision, for a man...!

- Mr. Chamberlain, Hello, sir, Madam, Miss, said Albert when he arrived.

Josephine was looking at him like he'd just fell from the sky. Was that her fiancé? This nice and elegant man who seem to be as rich as Croesus?

- William Albert Andrew, I'm pleased to meet you all, said Albert

- Pleased to meet you, said the family

- Hi, honey, he said to Josephine who still seemed frozen on the spot.

He took the chair next to her. He understood how stunned she was.

- William Albert Andrew from Chicago? Asked Mrs. Chamberlain surprised

- Yes, Madam said Albert

- Josephine, said her father smiling, you seem as surprised as we are... you didn't know?

- To tell you the truth, we haven't really talked about it... said Josephine

- I'm sorry, for not telling you, you have to say, I forget about it sometimes, myself

- It's ok, honey... you're just very very wealthy... you're rolling it!

- I hope you still want to marry me, now that you know that I'm filthy rich? Said Albert

- I wanted to marry you when I thought you were penniless... for me money is not important...

- But it is for me! Said Mr. Chamberlain, I now know that you're in good hands in one of, if not the most, richest families in Chicago...

- If you're sure of what you want... you've got my blessing, said Mrs. Chamberlain

- It's even better than my romance novels said Amelia, when is the wedding?

- We'll write you to notify you, as soon as we get to America, said Josephine, so you'll have time to get ready

- My aunt is going to take good care of her, you don't have to worry... said Albert

- Why are you in such a hurry? Asked Mr. Chamberlain

- My nephew is getting married, and I found his brother that was presumed dead...
