She stared at Noah deeply and confessed emotionally, “You were standing at the other door that God opened for me.”
The host then continued saying, “The bride and groom loved each other deeply. Even I almost started crying listening to their heartfelt confession. Let’s wish the couple all the best and that they would be together forever.”
The audience clapped merrily.
The ceremony ended, Noah and Chloe walked down the podium. The guest started to move around freely. There were food, cakes and drinks put on the side for people to consume.
Noah, Chloe and Noah’s parents walked towards Dolores.
Marine greeted Dolores happily, “I am happy that you guys came.”
Dolores smiled, “It’s our pleasure.”
“Would you like to sit inside? Is it too hot outside?” asked Jeffery.
Dolores wanted to reject his offer because Matthew mentioned that they would go back after the ceremony as she shouldn’t stay out for too long. But the family surrounded her and were being very friendly, so she nodded.
Matthew helped Dolores walk, she put her hand around his arms. They walked slowly into the house.
It was pretty bad between them back then. They forgave each other but they still needed time for transition, they couldn’t act too familiar around each other.
They talked unfamiliarly.
Chloe poured Dolores a glass of water. Dolores was outside for a bit and felt a bit thirsty.
Dolores took the glass and said, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Chloe smiled.
Dolores took two sips and asked Matthew, “Are you thirsty?”
Matthew shook his head.
Noah was talking to Matthew, “Ever since I joined the army, I learned a lot of things. I feel like I wasted my time from back then.”
He only wanted to become an idol because he wanted to go against Jeffery’s words, and that was a wrong decision.
He didn’t even like being an idol that much, but he wanted to do it just because Jeffery hated it.
It was childish thinking back about it.
“If I listened to what he said, I would be highly ranked right now.”
Noah grown into a much more mature person, he wasn’t the arbitrary boy from back then anymore. He was a grown man. Matthew answered, “It’s not too late.”
He believed that Noah could accomplish what he wanted in the future.
Noah smiled, Matthew assurance made him more confident.
It was encouraging.
Jeffery and Marina were talking to the other guests. They would glance to the side from time to time and smiled when seeing them getting along so well.
“Today’s your big day. Don’t just stay here, go talk to the other guests as well,” said Dolores.
“It’s okay,” Noah smiled as he said, “The guests are close with us, they wouldn’t mind.”
Chloe said, “Yeah, other than some relatives, the other guests are his comrades-in-arms. They meet each other every day in the base and so they wouldn’t mind. We should be here with you guys since we don’t meet too often.”
