Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 705



Stunning enough to turn heads.

I had thought that after Christine turned Clarence down, he wouldn't give her a second thought.

But looking at him now, his eyes lit up with an enthusiasm he couldn't hide.

As for Dailey...Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He remained his usual stoic self, inscrutable.

"Jane."

Hearing my name, I turned to see Gregory, the man who usually carried himself with an air of invincibility, suddenly dropping to one knee, slipping a wedding shoe onto my foot, "Wife, let's go home."

I placed my hand in Gregory's, my eyes and smile curving in joy, "Okay."

With my affirmation, he scooped me up and strode out.

...

Back at Elmwood Villas, Mira even did a roll on the wedding bed for good luck.

My mom made us dumplings, and unsurprisingly, they were undercooked.

I looked at my mom, and she winked at me, "Raw or not?"

" "I

I laughed helplessly, "Done with the raw part."

My mom laughed too, "Alright, let's move on to the next thing."

After completing the wedding room traditions, Gregory carried me again, this time to our wedding venue.

Approaching the venue, Gregory transferred me from the car to a horse-drawn carriage.

He owned a stable with many horses and had chosen a white one for today.

The music started, and the atmosphere was filled with the sound of celebration.

The carriage lifted and swayed as we proceeded.

After handing the horse over to Lucius, Gregory came to help me down.

The process of a Western wedding, though simplified from its historical complexity, still held many rituals.

Gregory somehow found an elderly man familiar with all these traditions.

He guided us in jumping over a small bonfire, among other rituals, step by step.

As we reached the hall, the elder announced powerfully, "First, honor the heavens and the earth-"

Throughout, a veil covered my face, slightly obscuring my view.

But Gregory never let go of my hand, guiding our movements together.

I felt utterly at peace.

We faced the entrance and bowed.

"To the ancestors-" Gregory led me in turning around to bow to my mom and his mother.

"Couple bows to each other-" He turned me to face him, and we bowed to each other.

"With this, the rituals are complete="

The elder's voice rose even higher

"Proceed to the bridal chamberet

The teasing and laughter from our friends filled the air, with Clarence even threatening to play pranks on us, a traditional part of the festivities.

Gregory, in high spirits, supported me upstairs.

In the decorated bridal chamber, the elder tied our clothes together.

"May the groom lift the bride's veil,

hoping the couple remains united at heart, achieving their heart's desires." .

Gregory slowly lifted my veil, and our eyes met.

In each other's gaze, we saw the reflection of our mutual feelings, indescribable in words.

"Here."

The elder handed us a cup, "Please, drink from the unity cup."

I reached around Gregory's arm, and in a gesture of perfect harmony, we drank.

Afterwards, the elder spoke many auspicious words, concluding the ceremony and leaving.

Gregory made sure to thank the elder thoroughly through Lucius.

Then, we changed into our reception outfits and went to greet our guests.

Knowing I hadn't eaten all morning, Gregory found moments to feed me amidst the festivities.

After greeting our guests, he was pulled away by friends.

Christine also took the opportunity to sit me down for a meal, peeling shrimp for me.

"Gregory's busy today, so I'll fill in. But this job's his from now on."

I joked, "You're just in it for the money, aren't you?"

Christine scoffed, "Let's not spell it out. We're still friends, after all."
