Chapter 49 Stop
"How long are you going to stay there? Is it extra comfortable in my arms?" Julian lowered his head and said softly.
"What a narcissist!" Susan said sullenly.
"Or should I say that you're afraid of seeing your exboyfriend getting married and will be too sad till you cry, so you'd rather not watch?" Julian retorted calmly, “Susan, the wedding is going to be a long night. You can’t keep hiding like this."
As Susan's thoughts were exposed, she bit her lower lip. She would not cry in sadness though.
It was just that they had once deeply loved and were forcibly separated. Seeing Luke get married would no doubt cause her heart to be in agony.
On the other hand, she felt that it would be awkward t o appear at this function.
Since Julian had already said it though, if she continued to hide, it would only make her look suspicious.
Susan thought about it and felt that she should not stay in his arms.
However, when she moved, he adjusted his stance. He exerted force with his arm and turned around which made her lie down in his embrace.
"Hey, you..." She started to struggle
"If you want to steal the newlyweds’ limelight, continue to wriggle," Julian lowered his head and whispered into her ear. 1
Susan stopped moving. She leaned into him then looked at the newlyweds who were nearby.
Luke and Mandy were slowly walking over.
Today, Mandy wore a luxurious wedding gown and was beaming ear to ear. Meanwhile, Luke's expression was gloomy and stern.
No matter who saw this pair of newlyweds, they would praise their good looks.
Susan bit her lower lip and a complex light flashed in her eyes.
In the past, that man had said that he would not marry anyone else but Susan in this life.
In the past, that man had said that he would give her the grandest wedding ever.
Sadly, all that was the past.
Now, he was holding his happy bride's hand and about to start the beginning of a new life.
Susan let out a long sigh and the last bit of heartache suddenly disappeared. Although it was regrettable, bygones would remain as bygones.
'From now on, I'll completely forget about it.’
Susan's heart was enlightened.
Luke held Mandy's hand as his eyes narrowed.
Mandy's hand was very soft and very warm, but at that moment, he was thinking about that night in front of the fountain where Susan's palms had been so cold.
He used to think that he loved Mandy.
She was gentle, cute, and innocent. Furthermore, she had deep affection for him.
He had no reason to let Mandy down - until he met Susan.
This woman did not exist in his memory, but she could easily affect his emotions. There would always b e such a person in this world.
Without her, maybe everyone else could.
With her, then everyone else could not.
However, what if she did not deserve his love?
Luke gazed deeply as he walked forward with Mandy's hand in his.
Suddenly, a strange feeling made him look in a certain direction. Then, his eyes were fixated on a spot and did not swivel elsewhere.
He suddenly slowed down and Mandy was surprised a s she aligned her gaze with his. Then, her face became gloomy. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
'Susan Shelby! She's here. She's doing this on purpose! ' Mandy gritted her teeth and held onto Luke's hand tightly.
Luke was standing there like a wooden statue. He stared at Susan as emotions rushed through him.
He knew that Susan was not suitable for him, so he had convinced himself to spend the rest of his life with Mandy.
However, his determination and beliefs were shaken b y the sight of this woman.
The pair of newlyweds suddenly stopped in their tracks.
There was a trace of surprise in all of the guests’ eyes.
What was happening?
They gazed at where Luke was looking and found Susan sitting on Julian’s lap.
"Susan Shelby!" Madam Jenkins' pupils constricted.
Although Susan looked slightly different with her makeup on, Madam Jenkins could easily recognize her.
'This b*tch, how is she at Luke’s wedding?! Hasn't she let go? No, that's not right. The person with her is Julian Shaw. Is she the one Julian said he would spend a lifetime with?' Madam Jenkins gritted her teeth. 'This woman is exceptional when it comes to seducing men.’
"Why isn't Brother walking?" Charlotte asked.
Madam Jenkins was not in the mood to explain to Charlotte. She looked at Luke nervously and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
'Please don't go crazy now, Luke!'
Luke still looked at Susan calmly, but his heart was in turmoil.
'She's here. She's attending my wedding, but she’s in the arms of another man.’ His grip tightened subconsciously.
Because she did not expect Luke to suddenly stop in his tracks. Susan became pale and slightly nervous.
What did Luke want?
Julian laughed lightly and bent over to whisper in Susan's ear, "Doesn't it feel good to have everyone's attention?"
'Good...What's the good in this?’ Susan looked at Julian angrily.
If this man had not carried her like that, she would not have been so obvious.
Now, the situation was so awkward!
Susan's rage in her heart caused her face to blush, but all that Luke saw was her beauty.
As he stood there, whispers could be heard throughout the venue and Mandy could not help being
nervous.
'It can't go on like this. If this continues, I will be everybody's laughing stock.’
She tugged at Luke who looked back at her.
Mandy was as beautiful as a princess with her intricate dressing.
"Luke,” Mandy said softly with nervousness in her eyes.
After Luke's eyes narrowed , he retracted his gaze and said softly, "Let’s go." He continued to walk forward.
Only then did Mandy heave a sigh of relief.
'Susan, you b*tch, I’ll deal with you the next time. The most important thing now is this wedding!' Her face still had a smile on.
The priest was waiting at the altar.
Mandy's wedding gown was sparkling with the diamonds that were sewn onto it. At that moment, she was shining.
Luke was tall while Mandy was petite. Both of them made the perfect pair as they stood together.
The pastor read out the traditional script, but Susan did not pay attention to it. She looked at the newlyweds and her eyes flashed a trace of complex light.
