Seeing Eleanor fall silent, Elbert patted his hair and struck a pose he thought was terribly cool in front of her. He then strolled past them into the hall.
Silent all this while, Caleb nervously dragged Katharine over to Bernard. “Mr. Laurence, my wife’s family… they’re a bit odd. I hope you understand.”
Before Bernard could respond, Katharine slapped Caleb. “Who are you calling odd?!”
Caleb, clutching his cheek, turned to Bernard with a pitiful look as if to say: Sir, you think they’re normal?
Bernard averted his gaze, pretending not to see. Caleb got the message. This was his choice, so he had to bear with it
Disheartened, Caleb was dragged by Katharine into the wedding hall. “Wow, it’s so beautiful in here, Caleb. I want a wedding just like this. No, I want a wedding even more beautiful than this…”
Despite being slapped, Caleb agreed to all of Katharine’s demands, “Alright, whatever kind of wedding you want, I’ll make it happen, as long as it makes you happy…” Katharine, holding onto Caleb’s arm, smiled blissfully. “I knew it! You’re the best to me. How about this, after we get married. I’ll have a chubby baby for you!”
Watching Caleb and Katharine’s retreating figures, warmth gradually returned to Bernard’s cold gaze. Caleb had a home. Aidyn had returned to the Howell family with his wife. Cedric was also married. Everyone important had someone to lean on, he could rest easy. But…
Bernard raised his lean, strong hand and stroked Eleanor’s hair. He didn’t know if the assets he’d left behind were enough, whether 30% of the stock was enough, whether Scott whom he’d arranged to
stay by her side, could protect her well, and whether his younger brothers would keep their promise to protect her…
Feeling Bernard’s unusual mood, Eleanor hugged his waist and snuggled into his arms. “Honey, Robin and Elbert are just trying to rile you up. Don’t take it to heart.”
At Eleanor’s words, Bernard didn’t respond. Instead, he trailed his hand down from her hair to her back, patting her lightly. “I’m a petty man, of course I’ll take it to heart.”
If Robin and Elbert dared to make any move on his wife after he was gone, he would teach them a lesson they wouldn’t forget!
Upon hearing him admit his pettiness, Eleanor couldn’t help but laugh. “You are indeed petty. The wedding’s about to start, let’s go in…”
Bernard didn’t mind being called petty at all. He held Eleanor close, gave her a loving kiss, then released her. Hand in hand, they walked into the wedding hall
The floor was covered in rose petals leading up to the stage, which was also adorned with countless flowers. A fresh and vibrant atmosphere pervaded the hall
Above the hall hung a string of crystal chandeliers, twinkling like wind chimes. The sea breeze from outside occasionally made them tinkle.
The elegance and romance of the wedding venue made everyone who saw it marvel at its beauty. Apart from Cedric’s hard work, he had also used computer to create two Al models.
One represented Hailey, the other represented Cedric. These two humanoid Als stood in the wedding hall, greeting each guest.
However, Hailey wasn’t too fond of these Als. To be precise, she thought they were too ugly to bear.
Cedric, on the other hand, thought his innovation was great. He pulled Hailey over, insisting she give them a hug.
Hailey, in her wedding dress and with her makeup done, felt that today was her wedding day and held her temper, hugging each of them one by one.
