Chapter 1018 I’ll Take Care of Her
After the couple had made a vow, the host said in applause that gradually stopped, “On such a
wonderful day, we’ve witnessed the wedding of Ms. Shawn and Mr. Lennon. I wish you peace every
minute, love and health day and night, worry-free year after year, happiness forever, glory all the time,
and prosperity all your lives.”
After a pause, the host continued, “Now, let’s welcome the parents of the bridegroom and bride to give
speeches.”
Theresa pushed Jasmine and Dolores with a smile. “Come one. It’s your turn now.”
Dolores and Jasmine were both dressed in red today as it means happiness on such a beautiful day.
Jasmine was wearing a red dress with a reserved style, with the brooch representing the groom’s
mother on her chest. Her hair had been rolled up. She looked attractive and elegant. Taking Boyce’s
arm, she walked towards the stage.
Dolores cast Matthew a glance. She always felt that he was absent-minded today. She slightly poked
him with her elbow.
Matthew grabbed her hand and said, “Boyce and I agreed he’ll give the speech.”
Andrew hadn’t been found so far, so Matthew didn’t have the mood to give a speech.
Dolores knew him well, so she didn’t mind it.
“Let’s go.” Matthew stood up while taking her hand.
Dolores stood up.
She was wearing a red cheongsam with a classical collar. The cheongsam was made of silk with
traditional embroidery.
It wasn’t fashionable but of high quality.
Even until now, she didn’t change much. She looked slightly chubbier than she used to be, but she
wasn’t fat at all.
It was because Matthew had been taking good care of her.
She was on five-centimetre high heels, walking to the stage with Matthew.
The cheongsam had a long history in China and still kept its charm. It had the neatness from zen, and it
was unique in all different kinds of dresses.
It just fit Dolores right now. After experiences ups and downs all through the years, she became calm
and elegant. Time had left traces on her face, but she didn’t look aged. She was full of charm
gracefully.
Standing next to Joshua, Dolores smiled in satisfaction. She whispered to him, “Congratulations, son.”
Joshua smiled.
“The bride’s father will give us a speech now.”
Right then, staff passed a microphone over. Boyce wasn’t wearing a suit today. Instead, he put on his
uniform, looking quite serious and dignified.
Looking at his daughter and his son-in-law, he nodded and said, “From now on, you’ll have your own
family. In the rest of your lives, you shall live as one, share weal and woe, and help each other in the
same boat. As a parent, I sincerely bless you, and I will you happy forever.”
His speech was short. There was applause offstage. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The host said again, “Under the breeze with happiness, we are joyful to gather today. With a toast of
good luck for the couple, they’ll be with each other for the rest of life. In this happiness, I wish you
happy forever after.”
So far, the ceremony had almost finished. People started to make toasts and were ready for the
banquet.
Joshua had a lot of friends. Many senior executives had attended his wedding. A lot of people were
making toasts to him. For some of them, he could refuse, but for some of them, he couldn’t and could
only gulp the wine down.
Amanda watched the scene, frowning. “If he kept drinking like this, he’ll get drunk. I don’t think he could
spend the wedding night with his wife later.”
Joan seemed to understand it a lot. “It’s his big day. He’s happy.”
Amanda looked at him.
“Did I say something wrong?” asked Joan innocently.
Amanda didn’t answer. She walked over and helped her brother drink the toast. She took over a glass
of wine and said “Enough is enough. If the groom got drunk, would you carry him back to the room?”
“Mr. Lennon is good at drinking. He won’t get drunk,” someone said.
“Won’t he get drunk?” Amanda picked up a whole bottle of wine and gave it to the man. “If you won’t
get drunk after finishing it, I’ll believe you.”
The man was silent.
“I’ll drink this glass for him. Don’t get him too drunk to have the most important night of his life.”
Amanda raised her head and gulped down the glass of wine. Others exchanged glances with each
other and kept silent.
“It’ll be our fault if the groom would be too drunk to enter the bridal chamber. Let’s drink with him next
time.”
Hence, they let go of Joshua.
However, there were still a lot of guests who wanted to make toasts to Joshua.
Amanda helped her brother drink most of the wine.
Bonnie was quite worried. “You’ll get drunk if you keep drinking like this.”
“If I wouldn’t get drunk, your husband would!” Amanda’s face had become red, but her mind was clear.
Joshua didn’t stop her. He believed that it was not bad for Amanda to get drunk.
It would be much better than suppressing all her feelings.
Although Amanda didn’t show, they all knew that she had a load on her mind.
If she could get drunk, she would feel better after waking up from sleep the next day.
After the banquet, the guests gradually left. The groom and his bride didn’t have to worry much
because everything was arranged. However, Joshua was worried about Amanda, who got drunk.
“Let me take care of her,” said Joan.
“No, thanks. I don’t need to be taken care of. Thank you.” Amanda waved her hands. Her mind was still
clear but she couldn’t control her body at all. She kept shaking.
Joan helped her up. “You are drunk.”
“No, I’m not.” Probably all the drunk would say so. Amanda looked at Joshua and said, “Hurry up and
leave. Don’t worry about me.”
