“I was so worried last night that I could barely sleep because I thought that something bad had cropped up on the island,” Angela said, turning to her daughter. “Your dad said that they only apprehended a few criminals. Nothing else happened, right?” Shirley nodded. “Yes, he’s right that nothing happened.” Nonetheless, the injury on her shoulder was still fresh. Feeling a little guilty for lying, she shifted her shoulder to the side discreetly and tried to maintain a natural appearance, “That’s great. It’s Christmas tomorrow. Let’s spend it happily by having a meal together and welcoming the new year.” Before lunch, the three men came downstairs, appearing more at ease since they had finished their discussion. At the dining table, Zacharias and Shirley sat together, and the former offered drinks to his future parents-in- law, showing respect to them like they were his elders.
“I think it’s better not to delay Zach and Shirley’s wedding any longer. After this, he will need her to accompany him to all the functions he’ll be attending,” Ren said, starting the conversation. As the elder and president, it made full sense that he took charge of this matter.
“Uncle Ren, why don’t you pick a date for them?” suggested Richard.
“Let’s hold the wedding two weeks from now. It will be a private wedding without being too lavish. I’m sorry to Shirley about this,” Ren said.
After hearing this, Shirley immediately exclaimed, “No, that’s fine. This is exactly what I want. We should keep it as private as possible.” “Shirley, we shouldn’t keep it so low-profile either,” Zacharias said with a smile, worried that she would feel neglected.
“Let’s ask Josef out for dinner tonight and set the date,” Richard suggested.
“We won’t be joining tonight. Please go ahead,” Ren said with a chuckle, as he had other matters to attend to.
“Okay, Mr. Lloyd,” Zacharias immediately agreed. “I’ll prepare the food and drinks at home tonight. Please come to my place for dinner.” Richard nodded. “Great. Both families will meet, then.” After lunch, Zacharias had to leave because of work, and Shirley stayed with her mother until evening to attend the dinner at the Flintstone Residence. In the evening, the dining table at the Flintstones was covered with food for a banquet.
Josef was excited to finally live to the day of his son’s wedding.
As they often met each other in the political scene, they got along quite well and chatted like family when they sat together. In the end, they decided to hold a private wedding ceremony in two weeks. The invitations would be sent out the next day, and the guests were all their internal staff.
Naturally, Richard immediately informed his two best friends, asking them to make time and bring their families to attend his daughter’s wedding.
At night, Shirley’s phone rang. It was a call from Willow, who was far away.
“Hello, Willow,” she answered, picking up the phone.
“I would have never guessed you’d get married first. Congratulations!” Willow said, sending her blessings.
“I didn’t think it would turn out this way either! When I met you the last time, I didn’t even have a boyfriend yet!” “Fate works in mysterious ways. It catches up to you while you are unaware,” Willow said with a sigh.
Shirley agreed with what she said. When she first met Zacharias, the last thing she imagined was becoming this man’s wife one day. Recalling their first meeting, she would have never dared to imagine such a thing happening.
“Willow, you have to attend my wedding, okay?” “I most certainly will!” Willow promised.
At night, Shirley swept her long hair to one side as the man gently examined her injury. “Should we postpone the wedding?” he asked in a heartbroken voice.
“Your injury has yet to heal.”
Shirley shook her head. “No, let’s not do that. I want to marry you.” Zacharias leaned down and nibbled her neck. “I can’t wait to marry you and make you my wife.” Shirley spun around and looked deep into his eyes, which were as calm as the sea. His eyes accepted everything that she was, and they were filled with love and enchantment. Zacharias planted a kiss on her forehead, filling her with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, after Richard informed everyone else of the wedding, he gave Arthur a call. He was always abroad, and both of their schedules were full, so it wasn’t easy for them to meet often. “Hey Artie, how are you?” “I’m good. Are you calling to inform me of the good news, Richard?” “My daughter is getting married in two weeks, and I would like to invite you to the wedding.” “I’m sorry, Richard. The vice president of Lauchrist is coming in a few days, and I can’t leave because I’ll be taking him around. May I ask that my son attend it in my stead? Once our discussion is over, I’ll come over right away,” Arthur said, sounding apologetic.
Richard laughed heartily. “That’s fine. You don’t have to feel apologetic. We can meet up any time. It’s been a while since I saw your son, and this will be a good opportunity to meet him again.” “I’ll make sure he arrives on time. Once I’m finished with work, I’ll come and meet you immediately for some drinks.” “Don’t forget to bring your wife along, alright? I haven’t seen her for such a long time as well.” “Sure! It’s time we meet and have a good catch- up!” Arthur agreed with a laugh.
The good friends chatted on the phone for about fifteen minutes. Shortly after, in the faraway Weiss Estate located in Flor, someone received a call from the other side of the world. A certain young master on vacation there answered the phone. “Hi, Dad.” “Attend the Lloyd Family’s wedding on my behalf.” “Who’s getting married?” “Richard’s daughter is getting married in two weeks. Go over right away and don’t be late. Your mother and I will join you afterward.” “I got it. I’ll head over ahead of time, Dad.” A yacht stood still in the middle of the sea. Laying on the deck was a man in a white shirt, sunnies, and casual beach shorts. The sunlight poured over his sculptured face and fair skin, which gave him a regal glow. “Head back to the port,” he instructed the bodyguard on duty.
Then, he rose to his feet, standing tall at six feet two. The first three buttons on his shirt were casually left unbuttoned, which unintentionally revealed his chest muscles, and his long legs were especially toned and strong.
After holding the reins of Weiss Empire for three years, he had developed a strong and dominant aura, and every move he made was suave and elegant.
The young master of the Weiss Family, Ezekiel Weiss, was the only son in his family and had grown up to be a muscular hunk. At the age of twenty-seven, he was at his peak, bright and blazing like the sun at 10.00AM.
The next day, a private jet flew into Zoravia’s airspace. The cabin crew onboard carefully attended to the young master. There were quite a few admirers among them, and even though they tried to display their charm, no one could catch the attention of the young master on the leather seat.
It was a long-haul flight, but their chances were limited. If they were lucky enough to grab his attention, they could have a share of his wealth and wouldn’t have to worry about their livelihood anymore, even if they couldn’t marry him. In addition, anyone would be willing to date such a man for free.
Reaching out, Ezekiel picked up his coffee. The thought of returning to his mother’s home country and meeting his grandparents delighted him and filled him with anticipation. He had a lot of affection for this country, and it felt like going home.
After twenty-eight hours of flying and traveling around half the globe with his private jet, he finally landed safely. His bodyguard deftly grabbed his luggage and put a warm coat on him the moment he left the airport.
His car could be transported all over the world, so four dashing SUVs drove over in a row. While Ezekiel was standing still and waiting, he felt a dark shadow lunging at him all of a sudden, which was followed by a girl’s surprised yelp.
“Ah!”
Out of reflex, he extended his hands and caught the girl who was falling into his arms in a parabola. Her face crashed into his chest strongly, and her slender arms clung to his waist. In response, he hugged the girl who had fallen into his embrace.
Ezekiel was stunned, and his bodyguard hadn’t realized what was happening yet, but some girl was hugging his young master tightly.
On the other hand, the girl hadn’t done this on purpose; she was running away from several people. Right after she left the airport, she ran too fast and tripped over her own feet. As she stumbled, she bumped right into the man waiting at the airport entrance and hugged him to break her fall.
“I’m sorry, sir. It’s my fault.” Wearing a mask, the girl had covered herself so well that only her eyes could be seen. In a black shirt and black pants, only her bright, charming eyes akin to sparkling stars were exposed. However, one could easily tell that she had just cried.
Ezekiel couldn’t help but be stunned by those eyes. Never had he seen such sad eyes before, which inexplicably evoked his pity.
“She’s over there!” With a cry of surprise, a group of people rushed out of the airport. All of them were young girls, and each held their cell phones in their hands, aiming and taking pictures of the figure running away.
Bewildered, Ezekiel turned his head in that direction, and his bodyguard to protect him, asking in concern, “Are you okay, Mr. Weiss?”
“I’m fine,” Ezekiel answered, his eyes following the black figure. He watched as she fled in panic and looked backward in a fluster as though she was looking for something. Finally, she climbed into a black MPV, but the group of girls surrounded the car and continued filming.
Looking away, Ezekiel suddenly felt something on his chest and reached into his lapel to feel around. To his surprise, he found a gemstone. With a frown, he examined it and thought that it was real. When he held it in his hand, it exuded a cool sensation. Scrutinizing it under the sunlight, he realized that it was indeed a genuine gemstone that had fallen off something.
Does this belong to the girl earlier? Holding the gemstone in his palm, he recalled that pair of eyes and smirked as though something interesting was about to happen.
“Let’s get into the car, Mr. Weiss.” The bodyguard had already opened the door and was waiting for him.
Without further ado, Ezekiel climbed into the car and saw the overreacting girls surrounding the black MPV. Judging from their fervent reaction, he reckoned that the girl who bumped into him earlier was probably a trending celebrity.
Meanwhile, the girl in the car didn’t feel idolized when she looked at her fervent fans. Instead, she felt suffocated.
Her manager couldn’t stop herself from berating the girl, asking, “Why did you return to the country in secret? You didn’t even inform me about it, and you’re still shooting a commercial. Don’t you know that the compensation is three times more, my dear lady?”
Clutching her manager’s hand, she asked miserably, “Sera, tell me if it’s true that they are dating each other. Are the pictures on the internet real?”
Glancing at her, Sera said calmly, “You probably know the answer. Why even bother asking?”
As the girl bit her red lips, the tears that welled up in her eyes broke free and streamed down her pretty face. Despite flying for hours and the tiredness apparent on her face, it didn’t affect her natural beauty but added a touch of delicate attractiveness instead.
“Don’t get mad over such a person. It’s not worth it. Isn’t it great to be pretty and single? You’re now an A-lister, and you can get any kind of man that you want!” Sera comforted her. “Furthermore, Catalina Martin comes from a wealthy family with a strong backer, making her a typical product of nepotism. How can you compete with her? Also, you snagged her commercial last time, remember? It’s not surprising that she’s after your boyfriend now.”
