Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3243

Nina nodded. She said, “Yes, I need to wear it, but it's just so heavy. That's why I was thinking of getting some high-quality fakes. It's lighter, and most people wouldn’t be able to tell.”

Luca let out a chuckle.

“I get it now. You and Percy are on the same team, both thinking I should wear the real stuff, huh?”

“For the sake of Mr. Mallory’s reputation and for your own sake, just bear with it. What kind of CEO’s wife wears fakes at her wedding? Even if no one says anything at the event, someone will notice.

"Think about it. Mr. Mallory's guests and the reporters surely know a thing or two about jewelry. They’ll definitely catch on if you wear fakes,” Luca said.

The power of the press was limitless.

If they found out Nina was wearing fake jewelry, it would be all over the news.

Nina nodded. “He said the same thing. That’s why I gave in. But I tried on the whole set, and it felt like a ton of bricks around my neck.”

Then, she continued with a sigh, “And I have to wear it all day! Now I understand why so many brides say their wedding day is the most exhausting. Just wearing all that jewelry is tiring enough!”

Luca agreed.

When she married Luke, he had prepared a lot of jewelry for her too, and it was all heavy.

After the wedding, it took her two days to recover from the strain on her neck.

However, it was all a sign of Luke's love and the high regard he held for her, showing everyone her unshakable place in his heart.

“Just hang in there. Isn’t marrying him your dream?” Luca comforted her gently.

Brides-to-be always had all kinds of anxieties, and as a friend, she could only offer some comfort.

Nina let out a sigh. “At first, I thought we didn’t need a big, fancy wedding. Just a simple ceremony with close friends would’ve been fine, but he insisted. He wanted everyone to know I deserve the best.

"So here we are. The wedding is perfect, but I'm worn out.”

“Complain all you want, but there are so many people who would kill for a wedding like yours and to marry Mr. Mallory. If they heard you, they’d be green with envy,” teased Luca.

Nina stuck her tongue out playfully.

Aunt Neile walked over with some refreshments, placing them on the table. When she heard what Luca said, she chimed in, “She's right, Mrs. Mallory. So many people dream of a wedding like yours. You don’t realize how lucky you are.”

“Aunt Neile’s right!” added Luca.

Nina’s face turned red at their words. “I know I'm lucky, but I feel like happiness is something you feel inside, not something you show off.”

“He’s doing all this to protect you, to silence the critics.” Luca picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Nina. “Don’t overthink it. The jewelry might be heavy, but it’s just for one day.”

Since Nina had cut ties with her family, there would not be any complicated ceremonies the next day.

Nina shook her head.

“What’s wrong?” asked Luca.

“Even though I just have to wear the jewelry for just one day, the ceremony lasts for two. Percy said that since I've cut ties with my family, we'll visit the Crawford family instead. He's already discussed it with Old Master Crawford, who agreed and even welcomed the idea,” Nina said.

Luca was surprised but thought it was a good arrangement. “That's great!”

“I didn't expect Old Master Crawford to agree, so when Percy brought it up, I was pretty nervous. But he agreed immediately and even said he doesn't have a granddaughter, only a god-granddaughter, so he'd be happy for me to visit the day after the wedding,” shared Nina. She was still a bit surprised by it all.

Luca smiled. “Old Master Crawford loves having people around, and since he doesn’t have to host a formal event, he’s even happier. Plus, do you think he takes on god-granddaughters easily? You’re the first!”
