His body was lean and muscular in the right places. So, when wearing a suit, something that the Hansleys didn’t see a lot, they found him so good-looking that they set aside their hatred for a moment.
Amir walked determinedly to the front and once he was in front, he looked at the Hansleys, the family he was about to join, and gave them a bow. This was his way of showing respect before the bride arrived.
With the arrival of the groom, it was the bride’s turn.
Bringing the bride to the groom wasn’t Cade and Lena, as what the others might have expected, but rather the grandparents.
When the wedding march started playing, Lena and Cade were the most nervous as they held each other’s hands.
After delivering the dress, Lena didn’t get to see her daughter wearing it. The little lady literally told her that she was going to see it for the first time just like the rest on the wedding day, and here she was.
When the wedding march started playing, a limousine could be seen driving slowly towards the tent where everyone was gathered.
The limousine came to a halt, and the passenger door opened, revealing Quinn, who was wearing a black suit.
When Amir saw his rival in love, for a moment he wanted to slam the other on the pillar, but then a thought dawned on him. Why should he do that?
He was the one marrying Zara, and Quinn was only lending a hand. Just imagining the kind of anguish, he must be going through on this day, Amir suddenly felt better.
Who told him to be so stubborn?
Feeling much better about that, his focus shifted to the back where his wife-to-be was.
When Quinn alighted from the car, he walked towards the back, where he opened the door.
He remained standing at the door side, where he helped the elderly out of the car.
Erica and Donald were the ones walking Zara on the aisle and for this moment, the two were dressed neatly, looking vibrant as if they had aged in reverse, which was a reliving thing to see, especially for their kids.
When the couple alighted, the next person to come out of the car was Zara and when she alighted from the car, a collective gasp sounded.
Badum. Badum. Badum.
Amir looked at his beautiful bride. His heart thumped like crazy as he felt his blood rushing all the way to his head.
Zara wore an ivory full-skirt gown. As her chest was a bit too flat for her liking, her maturity stage came a bit late. She didn’t dare wear a gown that would make her look like a kid and a joke.
Wearing the gown, people’s attention would be drawn more to the skirt than her chest. She also wore a jacket on top. Being a delicate human being, who felt cold easily, especially with the curse attacking strongly than before, she didn’t dare walk around with naked shoulders.
She was too bony to be that daring.
As the skirt was long, it also hides the fact that she wasn’t wearing any heels but flats which were very comfortable for her.
Zara refused to wear a white gown. With her hair blown out white, if she wore white again, would she look like an iceman? The one without the scarf or carrot as a nose.
The only ornaments on her were the golden and blue hairpins provided by Diamond as a wedding gift, as well as the diamond studs she wore.
Apart from those, she didn’t wear anything else.
Zara could walk for a long time actually, especially after getting that healing pill from Diamond. However, the curse was a bit too strong and forced her into a wheelchair for most of the time.
For this special day, she refused to move around in a wheelchair. Since she could still walk, why not walk towards her man, and stand with him as they get united as one?
Zara walked with her arms hooked by her grandparents, something that she asked for.
So, they compromised, and this was the end result.
Watching from a distance, Quinn felt very sour. His heart felt as if it was being squeezed and the feeling wasn’t too great for him at all.
He didn’t want to watch this and yet if he didn’t and she looked for him, how would he respond to her?
He didn’t want to see her sad. All he ever wanted from the day she picked him up at the orphanage was to see her happy, safe and sound and, above all, healthy.
When he failed to find a cure for him, he just wanted her to live the remaining days of her life happy and leave without any regrets.
However, now that he was seeing her doing so, he regretted it.
Only if he was selfish enough. Wouldn’t he have stopped this from happening?
The man in him kept tempting him.
However, the brother in him didn’t want to see her sad. So, despite his feelings at this moment, he could only watch as those two emotionally exchanged their vows, making him feel discomfort again.
"Meeting you was the strangest and yet a fated meeting, one that I had never regretted. I still remember the first time that I saw you." as if the memories were surfacing in his mind, Amir smiled affectionately at Zara. His expression made Cade and Bradley feel like hammering the other for being so shameless, knowing where this was going.
Zara was curious about this part, actually. He had never shown her or revealed how he saw her in the past, and that had troubled her a lot. Although most of the time she would forget about the issue quickly, as she had a lot of other things to do.
So, hearing that he was willing to share that and in front of her family members, she looked forward to it so much.
"When I came to Dynalis, all I wanted was to seek a business deal, but never in a million years did I expect to end up gaining more than a deal!" with an earnest and grateful smile on his face, he said. "There were photos of you in your father’s study. And seeing how much he cherished them, I was curious about who that other person was. And that day happened to be a day when you probably informed your mother about the idea of traveling out and your mother was furious that day."
