”Mister, please, will you marry me? ” She asked him, a man she saw entering the restroom of the wedding venue. He must be one of the guests, she thought.
As the man turned to face her, she was taken aback by his cold personality. He wasn just cold, but also had some weird air around him. All her senses woke up, ringing bells in her mind to walk away, but to where? She had been searching for a groom for a long time already and couldn even find a janitor, let alone a waiter, so where else would she see a groom? The auspicious time, according to her grandfather, is already passing.
Looking at her makeup-smudged face and the line of tears on her cheeks, he didn need to be told that she had been crying for a long time. His aura subconsciously lessened, giving her relief and freedom to interact with him like the human he was.
The man looked right and left, there was no one but him there, so he pointed at his nose. ”Young Miss, you mean, me? ” He asked.
She nodded while wiping her face with the back of her hand, ruining the mascara more.
The man chuckled after getting his answer. ”You don know me, do you? ” He asked after his weird chuckle.
She swallowed and shook her head, then said timidly with a tears-filled voice. ”T–that makes it better. ”
The man raised a brow. ”How so? ”
”We will sign a contract, a marriage contract. We will get a divorce after one year, then you can continue your life. ” She explained.
”Oh, so you want to use my service when you don even know me? Interesting. It so happens that I also need a woman for that brat. Deal, Ill marry you. ” He said with a faint smile.
”Good, Ill send my assistant to bring you the contract after our wedding. ” Seeing him nod, she grabbed his hand with her left hand and held up her long, heavy, and white wedding dress with the other hand as she hurried towards the wedding venue.
The tall man looked at her side profile with his dark chocolate eyes as an interesting smile found its way to settle on his lips. If only she knew who he was. If only she knew what she was getting into.
…
”Where is the bride? The groom has been waiting here for more than five minutes already. ”
”I wonder what that young Miss problem is. ”
”Young brats from rich families who are also celebrities are mostly like this, making people wait for them, hmph! ”
”The more reason she should be scared of upsetting people, but no, young Miss Jeslyn would never consider her reputation. She knows exactly how bad it would be if word gets out that she kept the guests waiting for 10 minutes on her wedding day. ”
”How can you expect her to be so sensible when her reputation is already as bad as serpents. ”
”I wonder why shes even the one getting married to young master Ray, with her ruined reputation. Her sister, Christine, would have been a better choice. Tch! ”
”Quiet down, don let her grandfather hear you say that. Youll be in trouble. ”
While the murmurs and words of displeasure were flying around in the hall, the relatives of the bride and groom were busy looking at the door, hoping to see the abomination walk in through the entrance.
A man presumed to be the groom stood on the altar with
the priest, waiting for the bride.
