Chapter 1272
Rita was breathing a bit heavily. She looked up and was greeted by a handsome guy. Her heart fluttered. Rita was looking really cute today as well. Her hair was trimmed short and clean. She looked like an innocent girl, and Elijah felt like he was having a crush.
“Thanks.” Rita quickly stood up straight. “No problem,” Elijah said awkwardly. He stole a few glances at her though. This was the first time he saw the bridesmaid, and he thought she was cute.
Ruka was holding Ren’s arm, and they exchanged a smile. Oh ho, we smell the beginnings of another relationship here. “Elijah, Ruka and I are gonna see my folks. You take care of the bridesmaid here,” Ren said.
Elijah was surprised, then he nodded. “Of course. I’ll keep a good eye on her.”
“She’s Rita, my friend.” Ruka smiled. And then she Rita, “And Mr. Handsome here is Elijah. He’s Ren’s assistant. A very brilliant man, if I do say so myself.”
Rita and Elijah exchanged a look and pursed their lips sheepishly. They both took a sudden interest in their feet and looked down. Some sparks were flying, but Ruka and Ren were already gone.
Rita was about to take the wreath, while Elijah wanted to reach his iPad to work on something. They moved at the same time and bumped into each other.
Elijah bumped his chin, while Rita hurt her forehead. “I’m really, really sorry!” Elijah apologized and looked at her worriedly. Rita said, “I’m sorry. Are you hurt?”
They stared at each other and chuckled. Rita covered her face in embarrassment. “I’m fine. Your forehead’s a bit red though,” Elijah said. He was concerned.
Rita touched her forehead before smiling. “It’s alright. It’ll go away in a minute.”
Ruka and Ren were meeting the Husson. elders. Ruka was going to serve tea for Ren’s parents. They quickly took it and said she didn’t have to do it anymore. She was pregnant after all.
“Ruka’s my sister-in-law from now on, and the future lady of the Husson household,” Scarlet announced. Claire and Robert exchanged a smile. They never expected this day would come, and yet it did.
Ruka teared up a little. She couldn’t help it as the atmosphere moved her. She had always been sentimental. Ren noticed the tears in her eyes, and he held her in his embrace. “Dad, Mom, Ruka needs some rest. Excuse us.”
They came to the common room, and Ruka felt embarrassed. She laughed. Tm just so touched.”
She never thought she could actually be Ren’s wife. This didn’t happen even in her wildest dreams. And I’m pregnant with his kids too.
Eventually, it was time to go with the procession. Ren was waiting for her on the stage. Ruka held her father’s arm as she slowly headed toward him. A beautiful headdress decorated her head.
Robert shed tears of joy when he handed his daughter to Ren. “Ren, take good care of her.” Ren said, “Of course, Robert. You don’t have to worry.” A simple promise, but one that carried a heavy weight.
Robert could finally hand his daughter to him without worries. Ruka slowly looked up at Ren. Even through the veil, she could see the love in his eyes. She smiled. Ren was staring at his wife through the veil as well. Time seemed to stop at this moment.
And then, a thunderous applause erupted. Everyone was bearing witness to the tying of a new knot.
Elijah was on stage as well. He saw the bridesmaid behind Ruka. When Rita looked up, she too looked at him. Their eyes met. Elijah scratched his head, while Rita smiled shyly.
Once the vows were made, Ruka was about to toss the bouquet into the crowd. Rita was right on the stage. Ruka turned around and winked at her, then she tossed the bouquet in Rita’s direction.
