Chapter 299 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

She buried her head on his chest even lower.

“We will then use flowers as the theme for the ceremony at that time, okay? How do you think?”

Armand kept nagging in Theresa’s ear. Theresa didn’t reply him and it seemed like she hadn’t regained her consciousness.

“Theresa, talk to me la.” The tall man, Armand was pulling Theresa’s hand and spoke coquettishly.

Theresa shivered and gooses bumps were shown on her body.

Then, she stared at him, “Can you be more serious?”

“Miss Gordon, what kind of serious manner do you expect from me?” It seemed like Armand just changed his expression in an instant and then he stood straight like he was going for a serious lawsuit.

He was so serious that Theresa was stunned for a while. Was he the Armand that she knew?

The voice of Armand and Theresa came from the lift. It was getting closer and closer. It was just like they would appear at the corridor in the next second.

Loredana raised her head of a sudden and said, “Let go of me.”

“I am afraid that it’s too late…”

Before Maxina finished his words, Armand and Theresa came over.

Loredana was in a panic for a moment and then she closed her eyes immediately to pretend that she was sleeping. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to let others watch her being carried by Maxina in the day.

Armand glanced at Maxina and then glanced at Loredana in his arm. Then, he took a glimpse at the outside. The day was not dark yet and what were they doing?

“You guys…”

“What are you guys doing?” Armand let out a meaningful smile. Maxina could sense the woman in his arms now had her muscles tensed up. He felt like he was hugging a huge rock. He knew she was easily embarrassed, therefore he ignored him and entered the house.

“When had they become so close now?” Armand widened his eyes. Theresa took a glance at him.

Without speaking a word, she entered the house too. Armand quickly followed her. “Theresa…”

“Stop it!” Theresa growled. “Could you be a bit more mature, and give me more sense of security?”

“Sure.” Armand hugged her. “Tell me anything you’re not happy with, I’ll change.” Theresa was a little startled when she saw his serious look. “Are you serious?”

“Yes,” Armand said without hesitance. He looked at her with an utmost solemn look. “Let’s get married and have a try. Maybe we’ll be good together.” Theresa fell into silence and only stared at him. She then spoke at length, “Sure, we can have a try.” Armand smiled and he hugged her even tighter.

The boss who promised to deliver the pearl to Loredana delivered the pearl to her as promised that night.

There were two types of pearl, one was only the size of a regular bean, the other the size of a mung bean. There were a total of 800 pearls and each of them was round, smooth and shiny.

Although the boss wanted to make money from it, the goods were indeed nice. Loredana paid the money for the pearls after receiving them and also gave the boss some delivery fees. Since he was honest, she was willing to pay more.

After taking the pearls to her room, she started sewing, since there was not much time left for her too.

The lace she bought was used to make the veil, and the pearls are needed to be sewn at the edge.

That was because based on her design, the veil was six metres long and it would be dragged along the floor. The reasons she adorned the edge with pearls were for attractiveness, and also to avoid messing up the veil when it was dragged along the floor.

After having dinner, Maxina played with the kids while she continued sewing. After the kids had fallen asleep and he had finished taking a shower, she was still sewing on the couch. Maxina frowned. “I’ll pay the money, you can buy whatever you want to buy for her.” That was too exhausting to sew all hundreds of pearls on top. Loredana shook her head. “I did that out of sincerity, not of money.”

Not to mention that was her job, therefore she did not feel tired at all. As long as she was free, she would make clothes for her customers on her own. She could only hand the sewing to the qualified workers when she was busy sometimes.

Maxina came close to her and wanted to sit next to her, yet as he just stooped and sat down, his arm was snatched by Loredana. Loredana was exceptionally cautious when she was working and there was not a single smile on her face when she spoke. “You can’t sit here, go sleep with the kids.” Maxina was speechless.

Looking at Loredana’s face, Maxina swallowed his words. He could only get onto the bed, lie down and hug his daughter. He secretly thought he must be the poorest husband in the world. They had two kids, and he had only slept his wife once to date, it was even done under an extremely confused state, and their memory of it was very blur.

Looking up and seeing Maxina being that quiet, Loredana could finally concentrate on her task. The night was getting late and Loredana had no idea when she had fallen asleep. She could feel someone touching her when she was in a daze, yet she was too tired to open her eyes. She soon sensed herself lying on the huge, soft bed. She moved a little and continued to sleep with a more comfortable posture.

Everybody was busy these two days. Boyce and Armand were busy preparing for the wedding while Loredana was making the wedding gown in her room. Besides dealing with work, Maxina would stay with the kids. Two days time was short and time soon passed by.

The wedding day soon came. It was very cold that day, luckily the wedding was taken place indoors.

Armand seemed to have sought for a wedding planner. The hall was decorated in a dreamy way and purple was the main theme. Purple was a mysterious colour and the colour made the wedding looked sacred and dignified.

In the resting room, Loredana put the wedding gown she made herself on Theresa. “I have nothing to give you but this wedding gown, it would be my wedding gift to you.” Looking at the veil she put on her, Theresa’s eyes went a little teary. “I bet you’ve not slept after sewing that many pearls on it within such a short time.” Loredana looked up and saw her teary eyes. She quickly took two napkins to wipe her tears. “Today is your big day, don’t cry, your makeup is getting messed up.”

“Thank you.” Theresa sniffed. “We’re sisters, you don’t have to be that courteous.” Loredana dried the tears on her face. Theresa did not have any family in the country, so she was her family. “See, your makeup’s been messed up.” Loredana asked the makeup artist in to powder her face.

Theresa’s face was soon powdered and Loredana squatted behind her, tidying her wedding gown. “I’ve gone to the wedding hall, the hall looks romantic. I can see Armand really puts a lot of effort.” Theresa looked at her reflection in the mirror and did not speak. Since she had agreed, she could not regret it anymore. She only hoped Armand did not disappoint her.

It was time for Theresa to enter the hall. Since she did not have any family member, she could only walk the red carpet alone. She stepped on the red carpet scattered with flower petals and slowly passed by the first arch. Loredana knew Theresa well. She knew what type of wedding gown suited her, and what kind of design could highlight her body figure.

Theresa was slim yet she had well grown breast, therefore strapless wedding gown with fitted bodice suited her the best. It could make her sexiness stand out. The fishtail design and the fishtail dress required certain waistline. Only eligible waistline was able to make the fishtail dress appeared lively.

Loredana was confident of Theresa’s nice body. As expected, she looked like a mermaid with the fishtail when she walked and her slim body figure was utmost conspicuous under the fitting dress cutting.

Her pure white veil looked like fine feathers displayed by a white peacock at her back. The pearls of various sizes on it looked like twinkling stars that made her looked like a goddess came from heaven.

There were no huge bunch of guests and tedious procedures in the wedding. The wedding was simple yet sacred.

Armand was wearing a black tuxedo and he was standing at the end of the red carpet. He was looking at the woman who was walking slowly towards him. His eyes became determined after a moment of daze. She was a very innocent and special girl, a girl that he insisted to marry. He slightly looked down and a smile broke upon his lips.

Theresa came close to him under the melodious wedding song and Armand extended his hand to her.

Theresa hesitated for a moment and she finally put her hand on his palm. The emcee’s voice was then heard. “Today is Mr. Bernie and Miss Gordon’s big day, please applaud for the bride and bridegroom.”

The old lady who was dressed in red cheongsam with a mink stole on her now had her eyes teary and she was clapping her hands hard, feeling happy for her grandson. She had been longing for this day.

Armand finally got married now. “Then Mr. Bernie, will you, take Miss Gordon as your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until you are parted by death?”

Silence prevailed for a moment. “I do,” Armand spoke straightaway without holding any element of surprise. Everyone seemed to have expected his response and no one showed any surprise. “Then Miss Gordon, will you, take Mr. Bernie as your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until you are parted by death?”

Everyone all paid their attention to Theresa. They were still unsure of her response. Loredana seemed to look nervous too and she inevitably clenched her fists. Maxina held her hands gently and did not look at the two people who were going to get married at the front. To him, no one was more attractive than her. Armand seemed all tensed up too. He was afraid that she would suddenly change her mind.

Time seemed to stop flowing. The old lady became apprehensive too. She kept on waving her hands on Theresa, urging her to consent. Armand turned his head around with slight uneasiness. Just then, Theresa also turned her head too. Their eyes met and Armand who was initially apprehensive became calm from her level gaze. He held her hands and his promise sounded genuine. “I’ll treat you good for the rest of my life.”

She let out a smile and her eyes were smiling too. Her eyes seemed to glisten with tears. She said, “I

do.” The emcee once again took his microphone and said, “Marriage is the end of being single, the process of romance and the beginning of happiness. On this exceptionally delightful day, may you who have tied your knots enjoy wonderful love and live happily for the rest of your life while overcoming difficulties together!”
