Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart -
Chapter 798 Strangers Living in Different Worlds
The wedding would be held at Zoshalor. It was initiated by Arthur's parents. They said that in consideration of the physical condition of Jean's father, they did not want Mr. Hilgard to be weary due to a wedding in Riverside City.
Arthur's parents were so understanding and reasonable that Jean's parents felt very sorry. Jean's father remembered that one of his requirements for choosing a son-in-law was that the man must be settled in Zoshalor. Now compared with Arthur's parents with big picture thinking, he suddenly felt that he was very narrow-minded.
Jean's father strongly urged, "No way. It's better to set the wedding in Riverside City because it is Jean who marries Arthur."
Jean's mother stared at him as if she did not know him; it was unexpected that he could say such things.
In the beginning, Jean's father was the one who demanded that the bridegroom must be from Zoshalor, so Arthur had to work here in order to be with Jean. And now he should suggest that the wedding would be held in Riverside City. It appeared that Jean's father was deeply shamed by the generosity and tolerance of Arthur's parents.
Arthur's father said with a kind smile, "It's OK. Don't mind it. It's the same where to hold this wedding. We are not that fussy.
"The distance between the two cities isn't so far. On that day, we will charter a few cars to pick up our friends and relatives. Everything is based on your physical condition." "That's right. The young couple is so busy working. It's better to marry in situ." Abigail's funny words made everyone laugh. Finally, the wedding was set in Zoshalor.
Before falling asleep that night, Arthur proposed, holding Jean in his arms, "How about we buy a new house for the wedding? So, you can decorate it exactly to your liking."
On hearing that she had to decorate the house, Jean became stressed. She immediately refused, "No. It's OK that we live in this house."
The house they now lived in was bought by Arthur. Its Japanese style of decoration was simple and elegant and the layout was very satisfying. For the young couple, a house that was more than 1,000 square feet was big enough for both homeworking and everyday life.
That house she bought next door had the same layout, and now her mother was living in it.
That one was decorated according to her own preferences. And the two houses next to each other were big enough even if they had babies later. Thus, there was no need to buy and decorate a new one. Besides, when the parents came over to help them to take care of their children, the group of people did not have to live together. They would be close to each other and have personal spaces at the same time. That would be perfect.
Jean was afraid of getting into trouble. She was such a person who wanted to make everything as easy and simple as possible. She had been tired out when decorating the first house. Given that her job was stressful at present, she could not handle another house decoration.
She rejected the proposal completely and Arthur could not persuade her.
Others would like to make things more exquisite and complicated, while Jean preferred the opposite. She did not even want a wedding because of it and Arthur thought it was too casual to do things like that. Jean murmured with her arms wrapped around Arthur's waist, "What I have is enough and I don't care about other things else."
There were misunderstandings between Arthur and her and he also let her down. But those were all in the past.
Now, she believed that Arthur was the best man and the best husband in the world.
She was very content to meet such a nice husband and such wonderful and warm in-laws.
A month later, the wedding of the two was held as scheduled.
The wedding was so grand and Jean was treated so well that a crowd of women in Zoshalor were envious and jealous of her.
When Jean stood on the stage crying and laughing, she recalled what Emelia and Nina said before. She felt they were right: This was definitely the best day of her life that she could never forget.
Jean and Arthur spoke out their love and took marriage vows to each other in front of a hopping crowd of relatives and friends. Jean was not an emotional woman indeed, but she could not stop crying and her eye makeup look was almost smeared that day.
Arthur knew what Jean's character was. So, when he saw Jean weeping on the stage, he became nervous all at once.
After getting off the stage, Arthur took Jean to the lounge immediately and asked with anxiety, "Is there something I did wrong?"
Jean was confused, "What makes you feel that way?"
There was a nervous look on Arthur's face. "I was flustered to see you crying like that."
Jean found him amusing at that moment, not knowing how to explain her wet face with tears.
Only after a long time did she explain simply, "I was so joyful, so moved, so happy that I cried."
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be tears of joy.
He gently wiped away Jean's tears and teased her, "I didn't see you crying before. You are a strong woman whom I want to care for. I thought you would be calm throughout the whole wedding." Jean was a little miffed and lightly punched the man's chest with her hand. Arthur then lowered his head and kissed her with his arms around her waist.
"Mrs. Hudgens, you are so beautiful today," he murmured sweetly, putting his lips around hers, "that I can't take my eyes off you at all."
Jean responded with a smile, "Mr. Hudgens, you are handsome today too."
After the two complemented each other, they hugged closely. Though no one was talking, they could feel each other's violent heartbeats, which proved that both of them were content with the wedding. Ezra did not appear at the wedding ceremony in the morning and the luncheon, but he suddenly showed up at the dinner party. At that moment, Maisie was jesting with Emelia and Nina and Maisie stiffened at the sound of Ezra's voice. But she quickly adjusted her posture the next second, looking at the man stepping into the banquet hall from outside with a tender smile, just the same as Emelia and Nina did.
Maisie did not remember how long she had not seen Ezra. When she saw him again at that moment, she felt she was in another world. Ezra was still a blend of nobleman's elegance and a bad man's evil charm, handsome, tall, and eye-catching, but she was now unfamiliar with him.
His eyebrows, smile, breath, and voice were all far away from her.
Ezra, on the other hand, did not know why he would replace Maisie at a single glance among a group of dressy women.
But he knew she was not the same Maisie who had been Julian's assistant at Riverside.
Before, Maisie had liked to wear dull black rectangle glasses and an old-fashioned business suit. No one realized that she was actually a beauty under the deliberately ugly outfit.
On the contrary, her twin brother, David Brennan, was outstanding in appearance, tall, long-legged, with deep-set eyes. Therefore, many people doubted whether the two of them were twins or not, otherwise, the two siblings could not be that different.
Others did not know the truth that she had pretended to be ugly on purpose so that those old men in the office would not chase after her and she could focus more on her work under her own steam. But now, Maisie removed her dull glasses and wore beautiful makeup-an upward fling at the end of her eye conveyed her grace by a glance unconsciously.
She did not wear the same charcoal grey suit either; instead, she wore a bluish-white dress embroidered with a few red plums on her chest.
Her elegant and clear beauty was set off more by the red color, even as captivating as the superstar Nina nearby who was known for her bright beauty.
Ezra was amazed.
It seemed that Maisie lived a pretty wonderful life after leaving Ezra, and she could not even be bothered to hide her charm.
Arthur, who was toasting from table to table with Jean, saw Ezra enter. The couple then walked over hand in hand to greet Ezra. Arthur asked, "How did you come?" Ezra said with a light smile, "We're good friends. I must come to your wedding, right? I had a hard time taking care of the crap in order to be in time for dinner." Jean, next to Arthur, raised her eyebrows slightly. Subconsciously, she thought Ezra was lying.
Perhaps, his absence was a lie to make sure of Maisie's attendance; when Maisie came, he then showed up suddenly.
