"Then what do you like? I'll gift you with it." Patrick lowered his head and looked at me.
I knew he was talking about cars.
He had long disliked my MINI car at the price of over 20 thousand dollars which I had been driving for a long time.
However, I held his arm and answered immediately without deliberating for even one second, "I like you."
After hearing my answer, Patrick seemed to be a little surprised.
But soon, the smile at the corner of his mouth was brighter. Lowering his head, he gently kissed me on the forehead with profound gentleness in his pitch-black eyes, "Well, okay. Then what you need to think about is what kind of wedding ceremony you want."
"A wedding ceremony?"
I was stunned.
Thinking about it, it seemed that I indeed didn't even think about having another wedding ceremony with Patrick.
After all, we were no longer young. And we had held a wedding ceremony.
Despite the fact that I had married Patrick in the name of Caroline back then...
I hesitated.
If I said that I wasn't looking forward to a wedding ceremony, it would be a lie... However...
Patrick, who seemed to figure out the embarrassment on my face, asked me in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Why? Don't you want to marry me?"
"No." I reached out and touched my cheeks, "I am willing to. And I will marry no one else but you. But we don't have to hold a wedding ceremony. It's so troublesome. And..."
"Do you mind that I married someone else previously?"
He interrupted me.
"Of course not." I quickly denied it and explained, "It's just that I think that when it comes to getting married, it's too troublesome. We should be prepared for too many things. In that case, we'd better stay at home and have a good rest for a whole day."
In fact, when Caroline got married back then, Gina and Jeremy didn't bother to manage affairs. As the authentic bride, Caroline couldn't be lazier.
Therefore, I was in charge of all the matters, either important or trivial.
I was so busy that I didn't have a good rest for several nights.
"No." Hearing my words, he refused without mercy, "Speaking of other things, I can do them as you say. But I'll make a final say on this matter."
He looked resolute.
Looking up at him, I knew that he wouldn't agree despite what I would say later.
Helplessly, I could only nod my head, "Alright. You have the final call."
"Good girl."
He said gently...
After Patrick and I stood outside for less than five minutes, someone arranged for us to go in.
Because of Patrick's high status, we were arranged to be in a private box.
There was a large-sized TV inside with which we could see what was going on in the wedding ceremony in real-time.
After going in, I looked around and asked nervously, "Where is Glenn?"
Seeing that there were so many people. I was so afraid that Glenn would get lost.
Patrick sat down and shrugged with a hint of helplessness on his face, "Our son is no longer our son anymore."
I looked at him.
He continued, "When he came in just now and saw Nancy's daughter, he insisted on staying with her despite my persuasion. I couldn't do anything with him."
Hearing what he said, I smiled and said, "Oh, he is with Cicely."
In that case, it made sense.
Ever since Glenn's childhood, it seemed that he hadn't ever paid much attention to any girl except for Cicely.
At first, it was Cicely who insisted on having fun with Glenn. Later, she grew up and seemed to learn to be reserved. And now, it was Glenn who insisted on staying by her side instead.
At the mention of Cicely, Nancy, her husband, Jerrold, Cicely, and Glenn came in.
They sat down on four chairs respectively.
The six of us were seated properly in a small private box.
The wedding ceremony soon began.
We sat in the private box and looked at the largesized screen. Because it was a Chinese- styled wedding, the wedding venue was furnished in Chinese style.
