It couldn't be true. 'How could the wedding be tomorrow, while I didn't know anything about it?' Ella tried to reason.
So far, she didn't feel as if she was a bride.
She had received a lot of congratulatory messages at work, but she thought it was because of the wedding pictures.
But, in hindsight, it seemed that everyone had received wedding invitations, and were congratulating her on that too.
Ella received a call from Eden, after she finished trying out her wedding dress, and was told that Mr. Si had granted her work leave for a period of time.
Ella was on the verge of freaking out. Everyone had known about the wedding, except her.
At the moment, she was driving. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Itching to know why she was kept in the dark for this long, she stopped by the side of the road and called Samuel.
Samuel was handing over impending cases to his partner, to ensure that his nuptials and honeymoon would be work-free, when his phone started ringing.
When he saw from the caller ID that it was Ella, he answered the phone, gleefully.
"Hi, Honey."
"Samuel, you bastard! Jerk!"
'What was wrong now?' Samuel was stunned and didn't know what had happened. "Honey, calm down! What happened?"
"Who are you marrying tomorrow?" Ella asked, angry.
"What do you mean? Who else would I be marrying other than, you, my Queen?"
Ella laughed when she heard the word "Queen", her anger dissipating a little bit. "Why didn't you tell me? Are you getting married to your ex-girlfriend tomorrow under the guise of marrying me?"
Ex-girlfriend? Samuel rubbed his throbbing temples.
"Ella, you are the only woman I love. Is it necessary for me to stress this every day?" Frankly speaking, Samuel was getting tired of this back and forth. But he was determined to assure her that he loved her, no matter how long and how annoying the process would be.
"But, Am I really your bride? Apparently, I'm getting married to you tomorrow, but I don't know anything about it!" Even though he declared his love for her, she still couldn't help complaining.
Samuel laughed, "You are my bride! In fact, I just wanted to surprise you."
Samuel cursed inwardly at whoever had revealed the secret.
He had arranged a wedding room in the old house because in his mind, his wife should marry him at their home. Even though the Royal Mansion is their house, the old house was their home, because that's where he had grown up and where his parents and grandma still resided.
Ella smiled when she heard that Samuel wanted to surprise her. She had never expected to have a wedding with Samuel. Even thought she was happy with how their relationship was progressing, she still feigned anger, "Anyway, this is your fault, and you must apologize to me."
"Yes, yes, honey, it's all my fault. Everything is ready. Today, you will sleep at your brother's place for the night and I'll come to take you home tomorrow morning." In fact, he didn't have a lot to do because he had hired a wedding planning company to manage everything.
However, Samuel still wanted to design some details of the wedding by himself, such as the decoration of the nuptial space.
"Fine! We'll talk about this after tomorrow!"
Ella hung up the phone, light-heartedly. But it occurred to her that there was one thing she needed to do before the wedding.
