Alice finally found Swedum and Dahlia, who was hiding under the table at the banqueting hall.
The two of them got cream and chocolate all over their mouths, like two little kittens.
"Hurry and get out!"
"The wedding is starting. It's time for you to show up. Go wash your face quickly!" Alice said as she pulled out the two of them.
She took them to the bathroom to wash their faces and returned to the break room.
"Ceres, I finally caught these two greedy pigs."
Alice complained as she panted heavily.
The woman sat still in front of the mirror.
Alice felt it somewhat weird. She found Ceres didn't even touch the juice and cake on the dresser at all. "Ceres, why not eat something? Then you will starve for a long time before the ceremony and dinner party are over."
Then the woman looked up, with her face covered with a veil. "I won't eat, or my make-up will be ruined."
"What's wrong with your voice?" Alice looked at her suspiciously.
"I had a sore throat because I choked accidentally just now when I drank some juice." She coughed as she spoke.
"Then what about getting you some water?"
"No, thanks."
At this point, a worker ran over. "It's going to start. Please get ready for it!"
Alice's heart was almost in her mouth. "Oh my god, I'm so nervous."
Nyla happened to hear it upon entering. "It's not your wedding, okay?"
Ceres walked out directly, followed by Nyla. After bustling around just now, Alice felt very thirsty. She picked up the juice bottle but found that there was no lipstick left on the straw.
She wondered, 'Didn't Ceres say she had drunk it and choked? If so, then why is there no lipstick mark on it?'
As she was thinking, Nyla called her. Then she quickly put it down and ran out.
The three of them walked out together with the two kids.
They took Ceres to the door and had the two kids stand in front of her. As bridesmaids, Alice and Nyla needed to be on the stage.
"Take it easy, Ceres. We are all here!"
"Exactly, Ceres. You can do it!"
Alice and Nyla cheered Ceres on and then left for their positions.
The host's voice came from inside. Then the door opened, and a beam of light was cast over the bride. Everyone looked at her.
"This bride wearing a veil is much too beautiful."
"She's so mysterious. Everyone must cheer when the veil is removed later."
"They're a perfect match."
The guests on both sides of the stage praised from time to time.
Holding a bouquet, Johny walked along the path decorated with flowers and colorful lights to Ceres. As the host read the guiding words, he went down on one knee and presented the bouquet in front of the bride.
Then the bride took it and stretched out a hand.
When Johny held the hand, he frowned. He stood up and stared at the bride.
She was startled by his gaze and quickly tilted her face.
