Chapter 288
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 288<\/p>\n
Leigh grins, \u201cLouis, you misheard it. I hadn\u2019t said that, I swear!\u201d<\/p>\n
The emcee rewards the \u2018love\u2019 couple rings to Stella and Daniel who have won the first place. Nevertheless, Stella is apparently not interested in it at all. She hands it to Lily, \u201cI have a ring. You take this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, thanks, I\u2019m not in a hurry.\u201d Lily waves her hand. She\u2019s wearing a ring on her hand. Even if it is used for protecting herself, it was presented by Louis. So this is enough. \u201cGive them to Leigh and Jessie,\u201d says Lily.<\/p>\n
Leigh puts his arm around Jessie\u2019s shoulders and grins, \u201cThanks. But I customized a ring for Little Fairy back then. By the way, this brand is not up to my standards. You guys keep them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really have a sharp tone.\u201d Lily doesn\u2019t know how to respond.<\/p>\n
Louis and Daniel look at each other, their eyes turning gloomy.<\/p>\n
Louis asks Leigh, \u201cYou bought diamond ring?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, the customized ring of Van Cleef & Arpels.\u201d Leigh says complacently and pulls Jessie hand, trying to show them the diamond ring. But he then finds that there\u2019s nothing on her hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney, where\u2019s the ring? Why don\u2019t you wear it?\u201d<\/p>\n
A light flashes across Jessie\u2019s eyes. She puckers up her lips, \u201cIt\u2019s so big. What if someone with bad intentions notices it if I wears it? It\u2019s in my bag. I only wear it at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle Fairy, you\u2019re really good at saving money for me.\u201d Leigh gives her a passionate kiss and adds, as if he\u2019s not bothered by whether if the ring would be stolen, \u201cThe ring is bound to be worn on hand. If it\u2019s lost, I will buy the other one for you. Your fianc\u00e9e, me, is not in short of money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019re many people here. Don\u2019t kiss me.\u201d Jessie feels embarrassed of his shameless deed and pushes his head away.<\/p>\n
A smile creeps on Louis\u2019 face when he hears Leigh\u2019s words, \u201cLeigh, it\u2019s rare to see you treating a relationship seriously. You two even engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course.\u201d Leigh raises his eyebrow, \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll suddenly come to get the marriage certificate one day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis turns to look at Daniel. Daniel nods, the coldness on his face becoming more apparent, but he doesn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that Leigh is so rich and even bought Jessie the customized Van Cleef & Arpels,\u201d Stella smiles, hands the ring box to Lily and continues, \u201cLily, Louis, I can only give them to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Lily can reply, Louis reaches out to take it and then opens the box.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a pair of delicate 18K gold rings in the box.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot bad. They look good.\u201d Louis praises heartedly. It\u2019s rare for an organizer like this ball room to give such an expensive reward.<\/p>\n
He picks up the ring for the lady and puts it on Lily\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait.\u201d His action is so quick that she has no time to stop her. The ring is appropriately put around her middle finder.<\/p>\n
Louis pushes the ring box to her, \u201cMrs. Smith, please help me put it on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t mess up.\u201d<\/p>\n
As their friends are around them, Lily blushes when hearing him addressing her \u2018Mrs. Smith\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cLily, you look reluctant. Is it because this engagement ceremony is too simple?\u201d Leigh smirks, \u201cYou despise this pair of ring because they are free? And you think Louis doesn\u2019t value you much?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily replies helplessly, \u201cI didn\u2019t mean it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen put it on Louis\u2019 hand. Look, he\u2019s waiting eagerly and pitifully.\u201d Leigh urges and then calls the violinist to come over.<\/p>\n
Leigh says, \u201cPlay the song \u2018I Do\u2019 for them. I\u2019ll give you 100,000 later.\u201d<\/p>\n
The violinist immediately puts the violin on the shoulder.<\/p>\n
The gentle and lively rhythms that carrying the emotions of love rumble in the ball room, Leigh, Jessie, Daniel and Stella all chant, \u201cPut the ring on his hand. Put the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily blushed slightly and feels awkward. She glances at Louis with begging in her eyes, hoping him to stop them.<\/p>\n
Louis chuckles and reaches out his left hand.<\/p>\n
Other guests also come over and applaud. It looks lively.<\/p>\n
After one minute, Lily finally can\u2019t bear it. She picks up the ring for gentlemen from the ring box, her fingers trembling.<\/p>\n
Louis smiles, \u201cIs your hand okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s out of control. It\u2019s trembling.\u201d Lily feels awkward. She raises her left hand, gives a hard slap on the left hand, and then holds up Louis\u2019 hand and slowly pushes the ring onto his finger.<\/p>\n
The ball room is quite lively. In a corner where there\u2019s no illumination, a skinny and slender figure hides behind a pillar and fixates his blue eyes on the couple that is surrounded by the crowd.<\/p>\n
There is passionate love in his eyes, as well as a trace of despair.<\/p>\n
Seeing the couple hugging and kissing each other, his heart thumps in pain, as if a hammer is smashing his heart. It hurts so much that he feels breathless. He clenches the clothes on his chest tightly.<\/p>\n
It would be so good if he could dig his heart out.<\/p>\n
Then he will not have to suffer the pain.<\/p>\n
Jessie turns her head and sees John who hides behind the pillar. His eyes are gloomy and he looks so upset. She opens her mouth, trying to say something.<\/p>\n
John puts his middle finger on his lips and shakes his head.<\/p>\n
Several seconds later, Jessie shifts her gaze.<\/p>\n
John coughs violently. Fearing that others would hear it, he hastily produces a handkerchief from his pocket and covers his mouth.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, he feels the sweetness from his throat. The handkerchief is soaked in blood when he removes it.<\/p>\n
He leans against the pillar to have a rest. After a long while, he raises his head to look at the woman with a light smile on her face.<\/p>\n
Her skin looks fairer in the blackish green dress. She\u2019s so charming and pretty.<\/p>\n
He had a hunch that a blackish green dress must befit her well. So he learned from several designers before designing this court style dress and picked up clothes in person before tailoring the dress and presenting it to her.<\/p>\n
Even if she chooses the other man in the end, he feels satisfied seeing her wearing the dress he tailored behind her back.<\/p>\n
John mumbles, \u201cSeems like I can\u2019t realize my dream.\u201d<\/p>\n
He is longing to hold up her hand, introduce her to the whole worlds, confess his feelings for her, and then kiss her.<\/p>\n
He has paid a lot. But he will never be able to realize this dream.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s really reluctant to accept this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2225","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
