Chapter 1327: Didn’t Expect Someone Like You to Get Married
In the dressing room, today was the happiest and most unforgettable day of Pearl’s life because she was marrying Sam!
Looking at her familiar face with a silly smile in the mirror, she pinched her cheek in disbelief.
She started talking to the baby in her belly.
“Baby~ Mommy is so happy today, can you feel it?”
The baby was less than two months old and couldn’t hear her, so there was no response.
But it didn’t matter. Pearl felt a deep connection with her baby and believed the little one was happy too.
She gently touched her belly.
“Daddy and Mommy will love you very much. You have to be good today.”
“The next time we go to the amusement park, it will be the three of us.”
Natalia, as the elder from the bride’s side, was also dressed up for the occasion.
She had her hair neatly tied up and wore a long dark red cheongsam embroidered with plum blossoms, which accentuated her graceful figure.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Pearl sitting at the dressing table.
Hesitating for a moment, Natalia clenched the tray in her hand and finally walked towards Pearl with a smile, stepping confidently in her high heels.
“Pearl.”
“Mommy~”
Pearl turned around excitedly at the sound of her voice.
Their relationship had improved significantly recently, so she didn’t doubt Natalia’s intentions.
Natalia looked at Pearl’s face, so similar to her own, and felt a struggle within. She reached out and lovingly patted Pearl’s head.
With a sigh, she said, “So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Pearl has grown into a young woman and is about to get married and become a mother.”
Knowing that Natalia was worried about her, Pearl leaned into her embrace. Seeing their red and white figures in the mirror, she couldn’t help but smile.
She and her mother truly looked alike.
“Mommy, even after I get married, I’ll still be your daughter.”
“And I’m not moving out. Sam and I will live here and take good care of you and Daddy!”
They had discussed this before getting married, and Sam had agreed to live with them.
Hearing her daughter’s heartfelt words, Natalia’s eyes welled up with tears. She choked out a “good.”
Wiping away her tears, Natalia remembered something and handed Pearl a small item.
“Pearl, this is our Cunningham family secret formula-Jade Dew Elixir. It can enhance beauty and has a fragrance that lasts for a month.”
She handed over a small glass bottle containing half a bottle of deep blue liquid.
The deep blue color was as mysterious and clear as the ocean.
Amazed by its effects, Pearl exclaimed, “Wow, is it really that amazing?”
Natalia nodded and continued to coax her. “Yes, it’s made from frost flowers found in snowy fields. Many people have tried to get their hands on it, but your grandfather never sold the formula.”
“Now that I have the formula, I’ll teach you how to make it in a few days.”
“Thank you, Mommy.”
Pearl poured some of the elixir into her hand and dabbed it behind her ears, on her wrists, and on her neck.
Seeing that Pearl had no guard against her, Natalia wasn’t sure if what she was doing was right or wrong.
She just hoped that when Pearl understood everything, she wouldn’t hate her.
Suppressing her melancholy feelings for now, Natalia prepared to leave with the remaining elixir.
“The wedding is about to start. Take some time to rest. Soon you’ll see the one you’ve been longing for.”
Mentioning him made Pearl blush. She missed him so much.
Counting on her fingers, they hadn’t seen each other for three days.
In the front yard, Kelvin and Cheyenne arrived hand in hand and immediately spotted the groom, Sam, standing among the crowd.
He was still wearing his usual white suit, but today’s outfit was a three-piece set, making him look more dignified and elegant.
Cheyenne tugged on Kelvin’s sleeve and whispered in his ear. “We finally found our target. What should we do now?”
Should they arrest him?
But… today was Sam and Pearl’s big day. Wouldn’t it be cruel to take him away during the wedding?
If they did nothing, wouldn’t they be harming Pearl?
She was such a good girl; why should she waste her life on a sinister man?
Kelvin was also conflicted because Sam was his brother…
His lips moved slightly.
“Let’s wait for an opportunity.”
Their people were already outside, waiting for the king’s order to arrest him.
“He’s right under our noses. He won’t escape.”
Cheyenne knew this was a tough decision for Kelvin but respected whatever he decided.
She held his hand firmly and whispered in his ear:
“Do what you think is right. I’ll support you no matter what you decide. If necessary, I’ll ask my godfather for help~”
Her soft words warmed Kelvin’s heart. He looked down at her eyes.
Her reflection in his dark eyes moved him deeply.
“Thank you, Cheyenne. You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll handle it myself. There’s no need to trouble your godfather; he’s already in a difficult position.”
“If he surrenders voluntarily, there might still be hope.”
Cheyenne could vouch for this with her character, but only if Sam cooperated.
But would someone as proud as Sam surrender?
While they were troubled by this dilemma, Sam noticed them too.
He smiled seductively and chuckled.
“Heh~ They’ve arrived.”
The person standing opposite Mr. Hurst looked at his smile in confusion, feeling a chill down their spine.
“W-what has arrived?”
“An old friend.”
After a brief farewell, Sam walked towards Kelvin and Cheyenne with his long legs. He stopped less than a meter away from them.
With a familiar tone, he said softly, “You still came. Thank you.”
His tone was as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other in years but whose feelings had never faded.
“Yes.”
Kelvin responded softly.
His cold gaze fixed on Sam, revealing his frustration through his tightly furrowed brows and conflicted eyes.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“You…”
Before he could say more, Cheyenne interrupted him.
“Congratulations, Sam. I didn’t expect someone like you to get married.”
“Miss Lawrence, it’s been a while. Oh no… I should call you ‘sister-in-law’ now.”
God knows how much that “sister-in-law” made Cheyenne’s skin crawl.
He was always looking for trouble with them; now calling her “sister-in-law” so affectionately was terrifying.
Was he plotting something again?
