After handing over his daughter to John, Bruce walked off the stage, holding his wife's hand. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he saw Nina standing on the stage with her family.
"Come here, kids. Hold our hands." Nina said as she turned around and reached out to hold Don's hand.
Still holding her dress so that it doesn't touch the ground, Don tilted his head and asked with confusion, "But Mom, don't I need to hold this? Don't worry about me, I am fine."
"Mom, Dad, let me sprinkle the flowers for you," Van said, holding the basket of flowers in his hand as he tossed a bunch of rose petals into the air, making it rain all over them.
Seeing her sons being so kind, Nina could not help but feel warm in her heart. She specially adored Van as he was even willing to wear a dress for her.
He looked gorgeous in the beautiful dress.
Nina had always wanted to give birth to a daughter. She had even told John that if she had a daughter, she would look as cute as Van.
It had not been too long since Van and Don came to the city. Shi family had been so protective that few people knew how they looked.
It was the first time that the guests were seeing them.
Van's voice was childish, so it was hard for people to figure out whether he was a boy or a girl. Some guests thought that they were so lucky to have fraternal twins.
In their culture, it was considered a blessing to have fraternal twins.
Giving birth to fraternal twins symbolized harmony and beauty.
"It's okay, guys, you don't need to do any of that. Just hold our hands, okay?" Nina said as she bent down and held Don's hand while John took the flower basket off Van's hand, holding him.
The family of four walked gracefully towards the center of the stage.
Upon Richard's command, the entire venue lit up. The small yellow lights hung beautifully from the wooden frames in the ceiling, making the place look like a fairytale castle.
Nina's beautiful dress was glowing, but it was not as breathtaking as it was in the dark. The fireflies were still flying around, making the place glow even brighter.
The gown was a strapless design that was made from delicate white lace and crystals. Nina was wearing a pair of lace bridal gloves, but they only covered up to her wrists, so she was starting to feel cold as a lot of her skin was exposed to the cold wind.
Since she was not as healthy as she was before, she could not bear the cold.
Although she only trembled for a moment, John immediately noticed it and frowned.
He watched as the emcee of the event was about to get on the stage. He knew that Nina would catch a cold if they proceeded with the event as per their original plan.
"You don't need to step on the stage," John said, signaling for the emcee to walk away. He then walked to the center of the stage and stood in front of the microphone.
Seeing that, the guests looked at each other in confusion.
'Has he changed his mind?
Is Mr. Shi going to call off the wedding?' people wondered.
Nina was slightly shocked when she saw John take the emcee's place. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just realized that we don't need him." Since their originally planned procedure would take too long, John wanted to do it his way. He held the microphone in one hand while he licked his lips.
John seemed to be a bit nervous.
"Boys, get the rings, please." Upon hearing his order, Van and Don held each other's hand as they walked to get the rings.
"Be careful not to run and fall, okay?" Nina reminded them.
"Don't worry, Mom, we'll be careful." James rushed to them and took them off the stage.
Seeing that Nina was giving all her attention to the kids, John felt Jealous and said, "What are you looking at? Look at me."
