Chapter 960: Reluctance to Engage
Freya grabbed his hand and pressed it down, holding him close, “Shh.”
Kai whispered, “Are we not allowed to talk?”
Freya nodded, whispering in his ear, “Let’s just watch quietly, no need to make a fuss.”
Kai obediently nodded.
He said, “Mom, Aunt Luna looks really beautiful today.”
Freya looked at Luna on stage and smiled as well.
Yes, she was the most beautiful today.
Under the spotlight, her charm was captivating.
…
The wedding venue was decorated like a dream, with meticulously designed floral arrangements and lighting creating a romantic atmosphere.
Various flowers bloomed in the reception area, adding a burst of color to the wedding.
Luna walked towards Orion step by step, stepping on flower petals.
Orion looked at her.
The sound, colors were all muted, only she was in focus.
He reached out towards her.
Luna slowly raised her hand, placing her palm in his.
Applause erupted throughout the venue, well wishes filled the air.
Kai clapped the hardest.
And then it was Xander’s turn.
Sacha leaned in to Xander, “Hey, it’s not your wedding, why are you so excited?”
Xander, “…”
He looked at Evan, “You should control your wife.”
Evan shrugged, looking indifferent, “I can’t control her.”
Xander, “…”
“You guys are ganging up on me.”
Kai said, “Xander, I’m on your side, you’re not alone.”
Xander was so touched that he almost burst into tears.
He pulled Kai close to him, “Sit with me.”
“On this joyful day, we celebrate the wedding of Mr. Russo and Ms. Luna. Thank you to all the guests who took time out of their busy schedules to join the celebration,” the host announced.
His voice was powerful, clear, and full of energy.
Captivating the audience, the host officially began, “Today, I am honored to be entrusted by the bride and groom to host this ceremony. On behalf of the newlyweds, I extend a sincere welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the guests and friends who have joined us today. Now, I declare that the wedding ceremony of Mr. Orion and Ms. Luna has officially begun. Please have both of you come to the center, facing each other.”
He signaled for applause.
Amidst the enthusiastic applause, the wedding symphony started playing at the perfect moment. The souls of lovers were about to collide here, creating the most beautiful spark of human love. The couple was about to join hands and walk into the sacred hall.
With a soothing and affectionate tone, the host read aloud, “In this life and the next, may love be mutual, may joy be together for three lifetimes, may hearts be intertwined for four lifetimes, may souls resonate in harmony, may trials be faced side by side, may blessings be shared, may love be bathed in the river of eternity, may the union be full of love and joy, may a century of happiness be spent together, may a couple be blessed with love until old age.”
Orion’s palms were sweaty with excitement.
He looked at Luna, his eyes filled with joy.
He didn’t hide his excitement, his heart was pounding fiercely at this moment.
The makeup artist had restored Luna’s appearance about seventy to eighty percent.
At this moment, she looked like she used to.
In a daze, it felt like she had gone back to the past, she was still her.
Orion said, “Luna, marrying you is the luckiest thing in my life.”
Luna wanted to smile, but for some reason, her nose felt sour and tears streamed down her face.
She lifted her lips, “Marrying you is also the luckiest thing in my life.”
“Don’t cry,” Orion raised his hand. “Crying will ruin your makeup and you won’t look beautiful.”
The genuine emotions of the two touched everyone, even the host was moved.
“Please let the bride and groom read their vows to each other,” the wedding emcee announced.
“Luna,” Orion gazed deeply into Luna’s eyes, “Until three o’clock this morning, I stared at a blank pledge card, feeling unreal, I can’t believe I’m actually marrying you! It feels like a dream, very ethereal, but I can’t hide the nervousness that makes my heart race.”
“I’m not one for sweet words, you’ve seen me in a disheveled mess, lost and confused, but thankfully, I’m still me, and you’re still you.”
Luna smiled, tears streaming down her face like crystal beads, she lowered her head, unable to speak due to her choked up emotions.
Freya knew what Luna was feeling at this moment, the mix of bitterness, excitement, melancholy, and joy. Her eyes were also filled with tears.
Orion and Luna’s journey to this day was truly not easy.
They were a campus love story.
But this love story had weathered many storms.
Fortunately, the rough seas had calmed, and a rainbow was emerging.
She smiled sincerely as she looked at them, wishing them well.
On stage, Luna hoarsely spoke, “Marrying you is the best decision I’ve ever made, if I had the chance to redo it, I wouldn’t wait till now.”
She choked up, “At this moment, it feels like I’m in a dream, none of this feels real.”
Orion took her hand and caressed his own face.
“Let’s not dwell on the past, only talk about the future.”
Luna nodded, “Okay.”
“Their love is truly admirable.”
The wedding host applauded, “Groom, you may now kiss the beautiful bride.”
Applause filled the air.
Orion bent down and gently kissed her lips.
Kai covered his eyes, “They’re kissing, it’s so embarrassing.”
Freya covered his eyes as well.
Sacha was also touched, she seemed to see herself in them.
She and Evan had come together, thanks to Evan’s attentive care and his broad-mindedness.
She leaned against Evan’s shoulder.
In her heart, she thought, having him was truly wonderful.
Meeting him was a blessing.
Evan hugged her shoulder.
Elijah handed Freya a tissue.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Freya, “…”
Xander said, “I must find a woman I love and marry her.”
The atmosphere at the venue was perfect, everyone was deeply moved.
Next was the banquet.
The banquet was of high quality, as long as the money was paid, everything fell into place.
Kai was happy.
Morton woke up, he had been sleeping all this time, Kai called him a foodie, saying he woke up when it was time to eat.
Anyway, Morton couldn’t understand, so he didn’t care how Kai teased him.
Elijah held the little son, wiping the drool that came out when he slept.
When he saw something delicious, he immediately reached out to grab it.
Seeing food, he seemed to be suddenly awake.
Freya chuckled, taking out a wet wipe to clean her son’s face and hands, “Are you awake now, just thinking about eating?”
Fortunately, there were no other people at the table, so it was more relaxed.
Sacha served food to Morton, “Look at how hungry Morton is.”
Morton reached out to grab the food.
Freya picked him up, “Give it to me, you eat properly.”
Elijah let her eat first, “I’ll hold him.”
“He’s not obedient.”
Elijah looked at her, “He’s not obedient, but is he obedient when you hold him?”
Freya, “…”
How could that be possible?
“You eat first,” Elijah said.
Freya had no choice but to eat first.
To avoid any disturbances, Elijah declined Orion’s arrangement.
Orion had wanted to seat them at the head table.
Elijah did not like to be in the spotlight at such occasions, so he declined, even if their table was in an inconspicuous location.
He wanted peace.
But indeed, it also avoided a lot of trouble.
Although he had gone abroad, his network of contacts remained, and there were quite a few people who knew him.
If someone came to greet him, it wouldn’t be appropriate to ignore them.
But in such an occasion, he just wanted to be with his children and wife.
As the banquet entered the second half, Luna wore a red dress and walked over with Orion to toast.
