Chapter 57: The Wedding (15) Ceremony: Belong to Each Other for the Rest of Our Lives
Maureen finished the expensive dessert heavy heartedly.
She had to say.
She had been busy since morning and didn’t eat much during lunch. This dessert was a lifesaver.
Gianna and Maureen didn’t eat anything all day. Gianna also finished the dessert even though she didn’t usually like sweet stuff.
After eating, the worker touched up their lipstick.
After that, they left the make-up room and went to the hall where the banquet was held.
The hall was grandiose.
It was the exact opposite of the hall that Caesar’s prepared. Kingsley made Gianna his queen, the hall looked like a palace and it was filled with vintage decorations. It was imperial. The red carpet, the red satin, the red chandelier… There were even exquisite sculptures that made the hall feel dignified.
Compared to the western motif hall that Caesar prepared… this was marvellous.
Gianna was ushered to a quiet corner. There was no light there. The guests who were walking in didn’t even notice her. A surprise was awaiting them.
“The time has come!” yelled a man excitedly; he stood in the middle of the hall.
Gianna’s heart started to beat faster for an unknown reason.
She was extremely calm during her wedding with Caesar this noon; there were no ripples in her emotions. She should feel the same way right now, but for some reason, she was very jittery.
Especially when…
She looked to the end of the red carpet. A light shone on Kingsley and he appeared before everyone.
He wore a red suit and was matching with Gianna.
His back was straight, looking flawless like a statue. The light shone on his face and not only she could hear her heart beating fast, but she could also hear people taking deep breaths as if they were astonished by the man before their eyes. They took deep breaths quietly in order to maintain their image of a noble person.
But the spotlight wasn’t only on Kingsley.
At the next moment, elegant traditional music was played.
A red shadow walked up to the red carpet.
The light shone on the train of the floor-length dress that was covered with golden threads, it was dignified. Gianna took one step after another, walking slowly on the carpet.
The crowd was quiet.
Kingsley handsomeness made them gasped.
But Gianna’s beauty made them forgot how to breathe.
Her hair was silky, her skin fair and flawless.
Her facial features were charming yet not philistine. It was even more alluring when she smiled.
Her bright red dress made her look lavish. She looked as if she was the queen and everyone else the peasants, drowning in her aura and greatness.
Was the bride before their eyes really the shy person who was always hiding beside Caesar?
Gianna looked like a resurrected Phoenix at this moment. She wasn’t the soft and gentle Gianna that everyone knew, she was in control and was wild and intractable.
This was the real Gianna.
The peerless beauty!
Gianna stopped in front of Kingsley.
They looked like a match made in heaven!
They were both in the spotlight, neither brighter than the other.
Two perfect people together. They were… made for each other.
Gianna stared at Kingsley.
Kingsley was also staring at her.
They stared at each other.
And then Kingsley said slowly with his magnetic voice, “Ms. Morris, why did you walk out here?”
Gianna was speechless, wasn’t this part of his plan?!
But even so, she was touched.
This was her way of telling the world that she had rekindled!
“So,” said Kingsley as he reached out his hand.
His slender fingers were now right in front of Gianna.
Gianna’s heart was wavering.
“Don’t look back.”
Gianna grimaced.
The next moment, she felt a large warm hand grabbing her hand tightly.
They were hand in hand.
Kingsley’s hand felt a bit moist.
Could it be that… he was nervous?
He was nervous just like she was.
In the dark, someone said.
“Mr. Walker’s hand seems to be shaking,” said the person aloud accidentally.
Gianna pursed her lips.
She could feel him trembling as well.
It was quite obvious.
She couldn’t help but turn around and looked at him.
Kingsley didn’t deny it, he even said straightforwardly, “Of course I’m nervous for a big and important event like this.”
Gianna thought to herself, ‘Did you forget that you participate in a national competition before?’
That was a competition that was broadcasted live nationally. It was probably a larger event than a mere wedding ceremony.
“This is as well,” said Kingsley out of the blue.
Gianna was puzzled.
“I said this is broadcasted nationally as well,” explained Kingsley.
As if he could read her mind.
That was why he said that.
"Why is it broadcasted?" Gianna was surprised.
"Because..." said Kingsley, "I'm getting married. I used up half of my fortune, it would only be worth it to do so."
Gianna was speechless.
She thought that he was an idiot.
Was he trying to show her off?
"Aren't you afraid that the consequences will be terrible to deal with if we were to get a divorce in the future?" said Gianna as she gritted her teeth. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"It wouldn't," said Kingsley surely.
"Why..."
She couldn't finish her sentence.
The enthusiastic man yelped again, "The wedding ceremony has now begun!"
Gianna bit her lips slightly.
She was interrupted. She didn't know if Kingsley meant to say that divorce was impossible or that the consequences wouldn't be horrible to deal with even if they got a divorce?!
She took the latter as her answer.
"First bow to the heaven and earth," said the man passionately.
Kingsley grabbed Gianna's hand and they turned to face the direction of the red carpet. They bowed to the guests.
"Second bow to the parents."
Kingsley held Gianna's hand. They turned around and faced their parents.
They bowed deeply.
Their parents smiled in relief.
Fiona's eyes were red.
She was happy and touched by Gianna's transformation.
She always thought that a good person had to be low-key and humble. Only then they would be considered a nice person.
But looking at her dazzling and shining daughter, she thought about how she brought Gianna up. She might've hurt her all along.
Gianna was born for this stunning stage.
"Now bow to each other!"
They faced each other.
Kingsley finally let go of Gianna's hand.
Their gaze locked onto each other.
They looked at each other deeply.
Kingsley then said, “Ms. Morris, the moment we bow, we belong to each other for the rest of our lives.”
