He asked, “Have you been busy lately?”
Boyce’s boss valued him and wanted to give him a promotion. So he had given him more jobs recently.
But still, he told Cormac that he wasn’t busy.
When Cormac asked, it must mean that there was something that he needed his help with.
“You go to city C. If I’m right, he should be over there. See what he has done.”
Boyce was startled, “Has he been looking for trouble with Loredana?”
“You check it out first. I’ll tell you the details when I get back.”
Boyce was thinking of asking whether Cormac was in city C or not?
But instead, he just said, “I got it. I’ll go there today.”
If Cormac was in city C, he wouldn’t have asked him to make a trip to city C again.
Armand drove quietly, not daring to speak.
After about an hour, they went back to White City.
They probably would have a wedding in the biggest hotel in White City. So Cormac told Armand to go to the hotel.
There was still some distance away from the hotel, and they could already tell that some happy event was being held here. There were flowers scattered all over the ground, rows and rows of cars parked along the roadside, and many people watching on the street.
Cormac frowned, ‘Is Charles really getting married?’
The car stopped in front of the hotel when the two sleeping children woke up and asked, “Are we home yet?”
Cormac patted them, “Not yet. Go back with Armand first. I have something to deal with.”
He didn’t know what was going on inside, so he let Armand take the two children back to the Forbis family first while he went in himself.
Although Amanda was a bit reluctant, she still nodded her head.
Cormac pushed open the car door and got down. He watched Armand drive the car and take the two children away before he stepped into the hotel.
He could felt a sense of joy as he entered the hotel. It wasn’t a modern wedding, but a Chinese-style wedding and the entire wedding setting was decorated in red colour. To create a rich Chinese-style ambience, the auditorium, as the venue’s focus, had highlighted the theme and style from the arrangement.
The scene was vibrant. Charles didn’t have many relatives, but many business partners and company executives came, while the rest were the woman’s family and friends, making the wedding scene lively. No one would pay attention to anyone coming in, as all of them were just focusing on the auditorium at the most striking moment of the wedding. As it was a Chinese-style wedding, there was no doing vow but just Chinese traditional style instead.
The bride wore a Chinese wedding dress with an embroidered skirt, a phoenix crown, covered with a red square scarf, looking subtle and beautiful.
On the other hand, Charles wasn’t wearing the corresponding Chinese tunic suit, but a western formal dress, with a smile on his face all the time, seemingly satisfied with the marriage. Cormac was not in the mood to enjoy such a wedding and only wanted to find Loredana quickly. However, there were so many people there, and he couldn’t see her at all.
The woman’s parents, who were also prestigious figures, went on stage to speak and express their satisfaction with their son-in-law.
Apart from his legs, Charles’s abilities and appearance were all relatively outstanding.
The only flaw was that his legs couldn’t walk like a normal person.
Although the wedding was a grand ceremony, many of the details were omitted, including sessions such as the bride’s speech, toasts and so on.
Loredana was standing under the red mantle on the right side of the auditorium, quietly looking at the hall. As she was pretty close, she could see the bride’s appearance clearly. The bride had a neat feature, with nothing particularly outstanding and not giving others a stunning impression at first glance. On the contrary, she was the kind of person who made people feel more comfortable the longer they looked at her.
Her eyes were clear as crystals.
At the end of the ceremony, Charles walked down with his bride and came towards Loredana.
“Where are you taking me?” Tiana followed him and asked curiously.
Charles smiled, “I’m taking you to meet someone.”
They soon arrived in front of Loredana, and Charles smiled as he introduced Loredana, “This is my wife, Tiana.”
Loredana greeted her politely, “Hello.”
Tiana blinked her big pure eyes and said, “I’ve met her before.”
Charles smiled and said, “Oh, really? Where did you meet her?”
Loredana also tried to recall it, but she got nothing about her.
Tiana just said blankly, “Cloud’. I saw her when I customized my wedding dress. It was another designer who received my mother and me, and she didn’t notice us.”
Loredana suddenly realized it. No wonder she felt familiar when looking at the wedding dress Tiana was wearing. Only then she remembered that she had seen this design on Theresa’s sketch. This was the first design Theresa had taken on after the opening of Cloud’.
She only remembered it after Tiana mentioned this.
Her memory was getting worse. Could it be that pregnant women really have memory loss?
But there was no such situation when bearing Amanda and Andrew. Or was it because she was overly tired? Despite wanting to go back and rest and then return to city C quickly, this was Charles wedding after all, and she could only leave after the wedding was over.
“I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare any special wedding gift for you. I can only present you with a bigger red packet and hope you have a happy wedding.” Loredana said with a smile. Charles pretended to be angry, “That’s how insincere you are, trying to get rid of me with a red packet?”
“You’re the one who didn’t tell me in advance. It’s not that I didn’t want to prepare for you. If I knew this was your wife, I wouldn’t have let Theresa charge the money at that time, consider it a gift for your wife. Or perhaps I’ll refund you the money for the custom wedding dress?”
Charles was speechless.
Was he that short of money?
“Now that I’m married, do you still have worries? Talking so sparingly?” Charles asked.
Loredana frowned, ‘Doesn’t he even consider his new wife’s feelings to speak with such disregard for the occasion?’
She couldn’t help but look at Tiana. Tiana didn’t seem different because of Charles’s words. She just remained calm, opening her big eyes open.
“She…”
Loredana sensed that something was wrong.
Charles tilted his head to look at Tiana and reached out his hand towards her. She squatted down and obediently put her hand inside his palm, smiling and calling, “Charles.”
“Do you like me?” Charles asked.
Tiana nodded honestly, “Yes.”
“Isn’t she just so naive?” Charles looked at Loredana.
