Chapter 1154
Cordy nodded.
"Yes," she answered without hesitation and with a blissful smile.
John stood nearby and looked on silent as she married another man in happiness...
As Cordy took the bouquet, someone started to goad, 'Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Others echoed him soon after, and Zoe was going to join in... until she saw John standing nearby at a corner.
How else should she describe the sight before her? He was the only one who was shrouded in misery as the rest of the room was ablaze with joy and bliss.
There was no hiding it when he stuck out like a sore thumb against all that, which was how she noticed immediately.
She walked over to stand at his side, and as his eyes turned toward her, she said, "I didn't ask for the kiss. They did it."
Both John and Jay ignored her, the latter being frustrated with what Zoe had been doing with other men just now, though he had to admit that he could not hit the gym after his leg was crippled and would not have abdominal muscles.
It certainly hurt him, and Zoe was naturally too carefree to notice.
She could notice John's misery but not his displeasure.
Zoe naturally did not since John was not responding to her, so she ran back to Patrick and Cordy to join the festivities.
Both Patrick and Cordy were nervous, their faces and ears red.
And yet, there was something beautiful at the moment, and the cameramen as well as everyone else were busy taking pictures.
Richard was there too, though he would rather go with John, having noticed him in the crowd just now.
However, he did not want to ruin his mommy's mood either-she should be happy today, no?
He bit her lip and stared outside the window in silence while the huge convoy headed to North City's grandest hotel.
'Dicky, you look so handsome today!" Zoe seemed to finally notice him, having been too busy with Cordy, Patrick, and John just now-almost completely neglecting the potential here.
Richard was really getting handsome by the day, and adolescence was starting to hit him at eleven.
Who knew how many ladies he would bewitch when he got older?
Still, she prayed he would not take after his daddy, who missed out on the one he loved most!
