She paused for a few seconds before she continued. “Later, you have to get changed too. I can only wear my favorite wedding dress for an afternoon.” Emery let out a deep sigh as she looked at her dress.
Hunter came over with a cheerful smile on his face. He looked elegant and gentle in the white suit that fitted his tall and slender figure.
“You must be hungry. You should eat something first. After the guests arrive, you won’t have time to eat.”
“Right! We have to serve the guests in a while. Let’s have some good food.” Emery pulled my arm as she said.
Before we walked away, Emery turned to Anthony who was standing next to me. “Mr. Featherstone, your wife belongs to me today. Mr. Quinn and Mr. Crest are in the lounge. There are some other facilities in the hotel too. Please help yourself!”
Anthony stared at me with his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Right now, the elegant, suave man whom I know was like a displeased child who just had his toy taken away.
I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Wait a moment, Emery.”
I walked toward Anthony and looked at him. “You take a walk first. I’ll come to you after I’m done.”
After saying that, I tiptoed and planted a light kiss on his cheek. He held my arm before I could walk away.
“Just like that?” Anthony wasn’t satisfied.
Looking at his flickering eyes, I took the hint immediately. I tiptoed to give him a kiss on his lips. “Are you satisfied now?” I asked with a smile.
He nodded and finally smiled. “We’ll continue tonight.”
“Oh my! Just cut the crap. Save it for your raunchy night later!” Emery said with slight frustration.
My face flushed upon hearing that.
Emery was open-minded indeed.
After bidding goodbye with Anthony, I went to the bridal suite with Emery.
The food was ready.
We chatted while eating the food. “Have you and Anthony ever thought about holding a grand wedding in front of everyone?” asked Emery.
I didn’t see that coming. After thinking for a few seconds, I shook my head. “If we hold a ceremony publicly, Summer’s identity will be disclosed. So I think we’ll just skip that. We’re fine anyway.”
Emery frowned. “But people have been gossiping about you. If you don’t make it clear, the situation will be worsened.”
“I’m living my own life. I can just ignore them.”
She pouted, “You’re so generous.”
Someone knocked on the door. “Ms. Moore, here’s your gown.”
Six neatly dressed attendants came in and stood in a row while holding a vintage sandalwood box in their hands.
I was stunned by the view. “Wow, you’re going through all these wedding traditions just as how an aristocratic lady did in the ancient times.”
Emery chuckled. “Should I be dramatic and run away in my red robe? The female leads in the Chinese folk tales always did that, didn’t they?”
Everyone in the room burst into laughter upon hearing her words. Emery took a look at the accessories and the apparel.
They even had the shoes prepared. I was amazed as I stared at the exquisite hairpin in the box. “This hairpin is so delicate. The designer studded it with saga seeds.”
Emery nodded. “It’s made by Hunter. He told me saga seeds symbolize eternal love and happiness in the Chinese culture.”
It’s such a meaningful wedding.
After lunch, Emery took me to the hotel lobby to welcome the guests.
The guests invited by the Moore family were mostly from prominent families in K City.
Although the wedding was made public, only one or two well-known media companies were invited.
They were all experienced reporters who knew what to, and what not to publish.
The media industry adhered to a set of rules. Only those who followed etiquette and played by the rules were able to gain a foothold in the high society.
Cameron and Zachary were making arrangements at the lounge.
Actually, there was nothing much for me to do, so I just helped Emery to get some things.
However, Emery was worried about me, so she asked the attendant to get the things she needed instead.
Therefore, I could only follow Emery around while wearing a smile on my face.
“Mr. Murphy will arrive soon. He’s the leading figure of the firearm and ammunition industry in K City. I guess Louis will be coming with him.” Emery put an almond into her mouth as she spoke.
Noticing her unusually good appetite, I intuitively gazed at her belly. Why does she keep eating all the time?
Sensing my gaze, she shrugged. “It’s two months but I don’t get any symptoms though. I just feel like eating.”
I was shocked. “Are you really pregnant?”
Emery nodded. “Yes. I’m already thirty-one. It’s the most ideal age for pregnancy. Of course, I won’t miss that.”
She paused mid-sentence, then looked at me before she continued, “You’re already thirty as well. Don’t you and Anthony plan to have a baby of your own?”
“It’s still too early for us.” I gave a perfunctory answer. Right then, a group of people were walking toward the lobby.
I changed the topic. “I think the Murphys are here.”
Emery turned around and saw a group of people escorting an old man with a head of white hair.
The latter looked like he was in his nineties.
“Mr. Murphy!” Emery greeted Robert with a smile as soon as the latter entered the lobby.
Robert smiled at her. Despite his age, his gleaming eyes radiated a majestic aura. “I can’t believe how time flies, Emery. You’ve grown up in just a blink of an eye and now you’re getting married.”
“Mr. Murphy, don’t get emotional. You’ll live a long life with a healthy body.”
Robert was pleased by Emery’s words. He held her hand and headed to the lounge.
Emery pulled me close. “Mr. Murphy, this is Sienna Stanhope, my brother’s daughter.”
Robert froze and scrutinized me for a few seconds. “Are you saying she is the one whom your brother was searching for?”
Emery nodded. “Yes, we finally found her after all these years.”
