Lost in You novel Chapter 82

James frowns.

"I’ve had you keep your eyes on him, and then? He ran away! Today is my big day! If anything goes wrong, I won’t let you off!" Isabel is yelling at the phone over there. She never expects that someone would be hearing her.

Isabel hangs up the phone angrily, and then the phone rings again.

"Darling! I... I'm coming back!" Her voice is sickly sweet. I'm pretty sure it is Noah calling her.

James and I don't show up until Isabel leaves. After a long time, James says to me, "Let's go."

I thought James is awkward at the moment.

He could not have been a son without knowing what his mother is doing out there. He wouldn’t know what Isabel has done to me that year. But she is James’ mother, what can he do to her? I follow James with a sneer.

James leads me away from the crowd and into his room.

In an instant James relaxes and collapses into bed with me in his arms.

"Get some sleep." James closes his eyes.

"OK." I don't say anything. I take a warm place in James's arms and close my eyes.

Isabel, you will see what disaster is. I will make you lose all that you have.

What does she care about most? Being Mrs. Orlando. It’s funny, but that does not belong to her at all.

I look at James and feel sad again.

It isn't until the wedding is about to begin that James wakes up from his bed. The moment he opens his eyes, I thought they are bright.

But he doesn't sleep at all.

"Come on.” James pulls me up.

When the wedding bell rings, James asks me to take his arm.

I look at him puzzledly.

"Take it." James has a smile on his lips.

I could never say no to James, and I put my hand on his arm and walk in like the newlyweds.

Now all the people are looking at us.

I don't know if I'm deluding myself, but I think James is deliberately putting me in the spotlight in the public.

I could see Salome, who viciously stares at me, while others are looking at me and at Salome and at last, their eyes fall upon James.

"Sit down." James asks me to sit next to him.

I look back at Salome. She stares at me hatefully.

It is ridiculous to bring a woman to his mother's wedding in front of his fiancée, and I sit quietly next to James.

I'm looking forward to that moment.

The music begins to ring out, and the crowd withdraws their eyes from us, waiting for the protagonists.

Noah takes Isabel's hand and walks in.

The crowd applauds.

I look at Isabel and stare at her.

I don't know what she'll look like when she sees me. Shocked? Surprised or scared? Will she believe I am not Carolina?

I smile.

"She is my mother." James says, "But sometimes I really wish she wasn't."

His voice is so low that only I could hear and understand it.

I pat his hand and say nothing.

Like a lot of wedding scenes, the master of ceremonies began to speak the auspicious words, and the crowd cheers.

Isabel finally walks to the front of the stage and looks up, and the moment she raises her eyes, she finally sees me.

She opens her mouth slightly.

I smile at her.

Surprised?

Not to be outdone, I stare at her.

Isabel is so confident that in a moment she takes control of her emotions and smiles to show her happiness.

Noah takes out the ring, a symbol of happiness and promise.

Isabel has a proper smile on her face.

"Isabel! You can't marry him!”

Porter rushes in.

Isabel is suddenly panic. Look, this is what I am waiting for.

“Who’s that man! Get out of here now!" Isabel hides behind Noah. "Noah, I'm so scared!"

Noah defends Isabel and looks down on Porter.

Porter smiles coldly, "You're pretending you don't know me, right?" But he looks so painful. "You were not like this when you were screaming on my bed!"
