After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Don’t Touch Me

“Give me your hand.” Manuel spoke to Susan in a very gentle voice. Susan bit her lip. She didn’t want to give her hand to him.

Although she was slightly touched the moment he called her, it couldn’t beat her great hatred for him. They were obviously in a stalemate. Manuel explained, “I’m on crutches, so I can’t hold your hand”

Susan took another look at Manuel. Then she reached out her hand. It was absolutely not because she felt sorry for him. She was just unwilling to waste any time, and didn’t want those people to laugh at her.

Manuel seemed to have let out a long sign of relief. He was nervous, but he just wouldn’t let anyone find out. He gently put the ring on Susan’s ring finger.

Manuel bought these rings himself. He didn’t know the finger size of Susan, so he just estimated it based on his intuition. Unexpectedly, it perfectly fitted her finger. Susan even doubted whether Manuel had measured her finger size before when she didn’t notice. Otherwise how could it fit just well?

“Susan, it’s your turn.” Manuel reminded her.

“I know. I just don’t want to do it.” Susan would absolutely not admit that she was absent-minded just now. Manuel pursed his lips and no longer urged her.

It was the priest who couldn’t help but remind her, “Miss Phillips, please put the wedding ring on the groom’s ring finger.” Only then did Susan took the wedding ring and put it on Manuel’s ring finger with a reluctance.

Seeing this pair of wedding rings, she would throw it away right after the ceremony, she thought.

Then she heard the priest say excitedly. “I now pronounce Mrs Johnson and Mr Johnson husband and wife. You may kiss your bride now!” There was a burst of applause in the venue again, Manuel was actually trying to control his emotions. He naturally moved his walking stick and got closer to Susan, trying hard to act natural.

“Don’t touch me.” Susan said in a cold voice.

Manuel stopped when his lips were only 0.01 centimeters away from hers. They were so close to each other that as long as he got closer, his lips would touch hers. And they would share a kiss.

Manuel moved back.

Looking from afar, they seemed to be kissing. However, guests nearest to them could see clearly that Manuel wasn’t really kissing Susan.

Manuel stood erect.

And the priest declared the end of the “wedding ceremony”. All the guests followed the working staff and left. So did Harrison. She just turned to take a look at the new couple on the stage.

Obviously, Manuel’s doctor was beside him. Now, the doctor was helping Manuel sit in the wheelchair. This must be the best Manuel could do.

Harrison and Oscar left.

At the same time, Manuel and Susan got into a black car. They were not heading straight to the banquet hall. Instead, the car took them to the marriage registration office. Only then did Susan realize that they hadn’t registered yet. Legally speaking, they were not a legal couple at present. Gritting her teeth, she didn’t give herself the time to hesitate, and bravely just walked in.

They had made reservations in advance, so they didn’t have to wait in line. Both of them submitted their valid papers.

With two sounds, their marriage certificates got a stamp. Then, two marriage certificates were placed in front of them, one for each person.

Susan didn’t want to take it at all.

“It’s useful in getting a divorce.” said Manuel.

Right after that, she took it without hesitation. It was all because of the word ‘divorce’.

The woman who helped them register was obviously stunned. She looked at the bride, and then turned to look at the groom.

The bride had an obviously reluctant face and a childish temper, while the groom was smiling slightly. Anyone with eyes could see that the groom loved the bride deeply.

After getting the marriage certificates, they two got back into the car.

It was still quiet in the car.

Susan wouldn’t take the initiative to talk to Manuel and neither would Manuel. They were like two strangers. Sooner or later, they would split up. Soon, they arrived at the five-star resort hotel where the golf course was located. Before they headed to the banquet hall, they went to their separate dressing rooms to get changed.

Susan really didn’t want to change her clothes. Just when she was about to give orders to the working staff, she saw Harrison waiting for her in the dressing room.

Susan was a little speechless, “Why don’t you accompany Oscar but stay here?”

“I’m here to make sure you get changed.” Anyway, Harrison knew what she wanted to do.

Harrison asked the working staff to help Susan change her clothes.

Seeing that she didn’t resist, Harrison finally said, “I’m going to check on Manuel.”

“There’s no need for you to check on him!” Susan was unhappy about this.

But Harrison had already gone out of the room. She went to Manuel’s dressing room which was across the hallway. She knocked on the door and it was Justine who opened it.

Harrison was polite to Justine, “Hello, Justine.”

Justine was quite nice to Harrison.

To be precise, she was nice to everyone, and she was actually not bad to Susan. It was just that Susan had always disliked her. And she wouldn’t allow herself to be too humble in front of Susan. Therefore, she was a little cold to Susan. Of course, there was no way she could be enthusiastic about Susan. If she did so, Susan would probably pour cold water on her.
