Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 218

“You look so gorgeous, My Lady,” Laura said in a small voice as she tried her best not to cry.

Her eyes were red with oncoming tears so I wouldn’t say that her efforts to hold it in was a success. However, I admired her effort and all that she has done for me and her constant support throughout all these years.

Just as I had told Edward, we were having our wedding at the beach, and it was a small event with our very close family members and friends. That was all we needed for our big day. The most impressive part was that we had managed to keep this all under wraps from the press and paparazzi. That made our wedding feel so private and special.

Unlike the fairytale princess big ball gown that Angela chose for her big day, I chose a very minimal white silk dress with a sheer lace veil to match. The decoration was quite minimal too with a few flowers here and there. I specifically chose red roses as decoration since that seemed to be Edward’s top choice of flowers that he had gifted me.

Despite Edward’s protests that I was minimalizing everything too much and that he was happy to spend more to make the event look grand even if very few people were attending, I finally had my way of keeping things simple. My baby bump was still small, and I guess if we didn’t tell anyone, no one would know that I was pregnant. However, I feared the risks, so I decided to stop wearing high heels for now.

Our wedding was very sudden because Edward had insisted on pushing the date forward again and again. I could understand that he wanted to have the wedding before my baby bump started to get bigger and show but he had gotten too insistent on it that I just had to ask him why.

One night when we were in bed together, Edward asked me once again about the progress of out wedding preparations. Obviously, I was the one in charge of the preparations and Edward was the one taking care of all the expenses. Thankfully, Edward really left everything up to me…all except for the wedding date.

“How’s the wedding prep going? Need any help?” Edward asked, his tone serious.

I turned on my side towards him. I could see his face quite clearly in the orange lamp light. I never get tired of looking at Edward and I love sleeping next to him every night now that we were living together. I placed a hand on his muscular chest as I smiled at him sweetly. Edward looked at my face and smiled back. He had such a kind look in his green eyes and my breath caught in my throat.

“It’s going well. The organizers have everything under control so there’s no need for you to worry,” I replied, trying to sound calm and reassuring.

“So, there won’t be any delays?” Edward asked worriedly.

“The date is set, and the guests have all been invited so I think we’ll have to go ahead with it regardless of what happens…” I said.

I could see that Edward was still worried regardless of how much time I had spent reassuring him. It was quite funny how focused he was on pushing this wedding through as soon as possible. I found it weird to see Edward acting so insecure about something because he is usually very confident.

“I guess…” Edward mumbled, clearly unconvinced.

“What are you so worried about?” I teased as I reached out to stroke his soft dark hair.
