Chapter 924 A Wedding?
Marlena was fine with the indifferent attitude of August. She pushed the cart in front of August, and then opened the cover of the fancy dishes. 'August, you're from Chillen, so I especially asked the chef to prepare some local dishes for your breakfast. I'm wondering whether you’ll like them." August still looked indifferent, as he didn't know whether Marlena would add something strange in those dishes.
Marlena picked up a dumpling from the dinning cart with smile and had a bite of it. "See. It's safe." However, August still didn’t move. Marlena swallowed the dumpling in her mouth. "August, how many days can you go without food?" August looked more indifferent, but he admitted that Marlena really could know people's mind. After a moment of hesitation, August began to eat.
Seeing him finish the dishes on the cart, Marlena smiled as she covered her mouth. "That's good for you."
A group of strangers with tape measures in their hands came to August’s room after he finished his breakfast. August squinted and asked, "What are you doing here?" The man with a tape measure looked back at Marlena and then said to replied respectfully, "Sir, Miss Marlena asked me to make a suit for you to wear at the wedding." Without caring about what August was gonna do, the man started measuring the size.
The wedding thing did confuse August, so he turned to look at Marlena while she was smiling at him. "I'm not gonna marry you. Only Lucia can be my wife." August said in an extremely cold voice. Lucia had gone back to Austos City which was safe and out of control of Marlena, so Marlena could no longer use Lucia to threaten him. "August, now that you've been locked up here, do you think your will would matter?" Approaching August slowly, Marlena said, "No matter whether you'll agree on it, you'll have to marry me and I'll tie you up to the wedding if you refuse."
The story of August's escape from their wedding had been spread all over the upper class. Marlena didn't care what these people thought of her earlier, but now she was the head of the Smith family. August's escape from their wedding had been a scandal since she assumed the Smiths. She thought the gossip about it seemed to have affected her position. So, she had to get married to August and let everyone know that she would get whatever she wanted for sure.
August darkened, as it was the first time that he had ever met a crazy woman like Marlena. And the tension between them was mounting. The man who was measuring the size for August didn't dare to make a sound at all, as he was so afraid of irritating Marlena. Fortunately, she left the room after finishing her words without staying there for long.
