Chapter 1020 Charmine felt uneasy and felt something ominous in the air...
Was Anthony around? Was he nearby...? 1 She quickly stood up and kept his distance from Guy.
The crowd thought she was shy, thus some relatives teased them.
'You're about to get married. We understand! Haha! We're a family, don't be shy!"
"Guy! You should hold on to your wife! You should learn to take good care of your wife, to protect her.â
"Hurry up and learn to be a more considerate man. If not, we wonât let you off!"
Everyone pestered Charmine and Guy.
Guy blushed as he tried his best to speak calmly, 'Til do that privately.
Thereâre so many people around today, so letâs not force it."
"Aw, you're an adult man yet youâre so shy! Look at Charmine! She's not shy, is she?" A woman smiled and looked at Charmine.
'Of course I'm not shy," Charmine thought to herself, "I'm just unwilling.'
She thought they only had to go through the ceremony and keep things simple. She did not expect there to be so many procedures.
She was ready. She knew that even if she went home with the red wolf bone, Anthony would punish her severely... 1 Seeing that she was unwilling, after a moment of hesitation, Guy offered his arm to her. "Charmine, hold onto my arm."
It was a typical gesture between partners, and all she had to do was hold his arm.
This gesture was not intimate at all. i Charmine could feel that Guy had been helping and protecting her all this while.
She frowned before she finally put her hand on his arm.
Since they were at this stage with so many attendees, all would be for naught if anyone became suspicious.
She was merely touching his arm, so she could please Anthony more when she got home, to make him less mad... 1 With that in mind, she held onto Guy's arm and walked forward.
Guyâs body stiffened, unable to believe what happened.
Charmine was holding onto his arm... She was actually holding onto his arm!
He thought she would only fake it...
Walking by her side, his heart thumped loudly. He never felt this way before.
The usually calm and well-built man like him, flushed like a teenager at that moment. 1 A lot of the relatives smiled, and some even whistled. "Guy is finally a man! Our Guy has grown up!"
Accompanied by their teases, they finally arrived at the ceremony pavilion.
The pavilion was located at the south-side of the mansion. When they got in, it was a well-decorated space with the names of their ancestors carved on the walls.
Grandma Granger comforted, "Donât be scared, Charmine. They were good people, and they fought for the country back then.
They're kind and wonât harm you."
Charmine answered, "Donât worry, I'm not scared."
"Alright, alright! Atta girl. Let's go in; it's the right time now. We can officiate the ceremony," gushed Grandma Granger as she held onto Charmine with a friendly smile, i With that, Charmine walked inside with them. A maid was preparing the script. Charmine looked at the majestic layout of the pavilion, and a frown made its way to her face.
Was she about to write the script in front of their ancestors? This seemed like a serious matter... i After hesitating, she looked at Grandma Granger worryingly and asked in a low voice, "What you promised..."
"Don't worry. Once the ceremony is over, Iâll give it to you," assured Grandma Granger.
Charmine felt much better then-what mattered was that she got the red wolf bone.
Someone handed the script to her, but just as she was about to receive it... 1 Bam!
