Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 1018

After the couple had made a vow, the host said in applause that gradually stopped, “On such a wonderful day, we’ve witnessed the wedding of Ms. Shawn and Mr. Lennon. I wish you peace every minute, love and health day and night, worry-free year after year, happiness forever, glory all the time, and prosperity all your lives.”

After a pause, the host continued, “Now, let’s welcome the parents of the bridegroom and bride to give speeches.”

Theresa pushed Jasmine and Dolores with a smile. “Come one. It’s your turn now.”

Dolores and Jasmine were both dressed in red today as it means happiness on such a beautiful day.

Jasmine was wearing a red dress with a reserved style, with the brooch representing the groom’s mother on her chest. Her hair had been rolled up. She looked attractive and elegant. Taking Boyce’s arm, she walked towards the stage.

Dolores cast Matthew a glance. She always felt that he was absent-minded today. She slightly poked him with her elbow.

Matthew grabbed her hand and said, “Boyce and I agreed he’ll give the speech.”

Andrew hadn’t been found so far, so Matthew didn’t have the mood to give a speech.

Dolores knew him well, so she didn’t mind it.

“Let’s go.” Matthew stood up while taking her hand.

Dolores stood up.

She was wearing a red cheongsam with a classical collar. The cheongsam was made of silk with traditional embroidery.

It wasn’t fashionable but of high quality.

Even until now, she didn’t change much. She looked slightly chubbier than she used to be, but she wasn’t fat at all.

It was because Matthew had been taking good care of her.

She was on five-centimetre high heels, walking to the stage with Matthew.

The cheongsam had a long history in China and still kept its charm. It had the neatness from zen, and it was unique in all different kinds of dresses.

It just fit Dolores right now. After experiences ups and downs all through the years, she became calm and elegant. Time had left traces on her face, but she didn’t look aged. She was full of charm gracefully.

Standing next to Joshua, Dolores smiled in satisfaction. She whispered to him, “Congratulations, son.”

Joshua smiled.

“The bride’s father will give us a speech now.”

Right then, staff passed a microphone over. Boyce wasn’t wearing a suit today. Instead, he put on his uniform, looking quite serious and dignified.

Looking at his daughter and his son-in-law, he nodded and said, “From now on, you’ll have your own family. In the rest of your lives, you shall live as one, share weal and woe, and help each other in the same boat. As a parent, I sincerely bless you, and I will you happy forever.”

His speech was short. There was applause offstage.

The host said again, “Under the breeze with happiness, we are joyful to gather today. With a toast of good luck for the couple, they’ll be with each other for the rest of life. In this happiness, I wish you happy forever after.”

So far, the ceremony had almost finished. People started to make toasts and were ready for the banquet.

Amanda helped her brother drink most of the wine.

Bonnie was quite worried. “You’ll get drunk if you keep drinking like this.”

“If I wouldn’t get drunk, your husband would!” Amanda’s face had become red, but her mind was clear.

Joshua didn’t stop her. He believed that it was not bad for Amanda to get drunk.

It would be much better than suppressing all her feelings.

Although Amanda didn’t show, they all knew that she had a load on her mind.

If she could get drunk, she would feel better after waking up from sleep the next day.

After the banquet, the guests gradually left. The groom and his bride didn’t have to worry much because everything was arranged. However, Joshua was worried about Amanda, who got drunk.

“Let me take care of her,” said Joan.

“No, thanks. I don’t need to be taken care of. Thank you.” Amanda waved her hands. Her mind was still clear but she couldn’t control her body at all. She kept shaking.

Joan helped her up. “You are drunk.”

“No, I’m not.” Probably all the drunk would say so. Amanda looked at Joshua and said, “Hurry up and leave. Don’t worry about me.”
