He could felt a sense of joy as he entered the hotel. It wasn’t a modern wedding, but a Chinese-style
wedding and the entire wedding setting was decorated in red colour. To create a rich Chinese-style
ambience, the auditorium, as the venue’s focus, had highlighted the theme and style from the
arrangement.
The scene was vibrant. Charles didn’t have many relatives, but many business partners and company
executives came, while the rest were the woman’s family and friends, making the wedding scene lively.
No one would pay attention to anyone coming in, as all of them were just focusing on the auditorium at
the most striking moment of the wedding. As it was a Chinese-style wedding, there was no doing vow
but just Chinese traditional style instead.
The bride wore a Chinese wedding dress with an embroidered skirt, a phoenix crown, covered with a
red square scarf, looking subtle and beautiful.
On the other hand, Charles wasn’t wearing the corresponding Chinese tunic suit, but a western formal
dress, with a smile on his face all the time, seemingly satisfied with the marriage.
Matthew was not in the mood to enjoy such a wedding and only wanted to find Dolores quickly.
However, there were so many people there, and he couldn’t see her at all.
The woman’s parents, who were also prestigious figures, went on stage to speak and express their
satisfaction with their son-in-law.
Apart from his legs, Charles’s abilities and appearance were all relatively outstanding.
The only flaw was that his legs couldn’t walk like a normal person.
Although the wedding was a grand ceremony, many of the details were omitted, including sessions
such as the bride’s speech, toasts and so on.
Dolores was standing under the red mantle on the right side of the auditorium, quietly looking at the
hall. As she was pretty close, she could see the bride’s appearance clearly. The bride had a neat
feature, with nothing particularly outstanding and not giving others a stunning impression at first glance.
On the contrary, she was the kind of person who made people feel more comfortable the longer they
looked at her.
Her eyes were clear as crystals.
At the end of the ceremony, Charles walked down with his bride and came towards Dolores.
“Where are you taking me?” Tiana followed him and asked curiously.
Charles smiled, “I’m taking you to meet someone.”
They soon arrived in front of Dolores, and Charles smiled as he introduced Dolores, “This is my wife,
Tiana.”
Dolores greeted her politely, “Hello.”
Tiana blinked her big pure eyes and said, “I’ve met her before.”
Charles smiled and said, “Oh, really? Where did you meet her?”
Dolores also tried to recall it, but she got nothing about her.
Tiana just said blankly, “Cloud’. I saw her when I customized my wedding dress. It was another
designer who received my mother and me, and she didn’t notice us.”
Dolores suddenly realized it. No wonder she felt familiar when looking at the wedding dress Tiana was
wearing. Only then she remembered that she had seen this design on Theresa’s sketch. This was the
first design Theresa had taken on after the opening of Cloud’.
She only remembered it after Tiana mentioned this.
Her memory was getting worse. Could it be that pregnant women really have memory loss?
But there was no such situation when bearing Amanda and Andrew. Or was it because she was overly
tired? Despite wanting to go back and rest and then return to city C quickly, this was Charles wedding
after all, and she could only leave after the wedding was over.
“I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare any special wedding gift for you. I can only present you with a
bigger red packet and hope you have a happy wedding.” Dolores said with a smile.
Charles pretended to be angry, “That’s how insincere you are, trying to get rid of me with a red
packet?”
“You’re the one who didn’t tell me in advance. It’s not that I didn’t want to prepare for you. If I knew this
was your wife, I wouldn’t have let Theresa charge the money at that time, consider it a gift for your wife.
Or perhaps I’ll refund you the money for the custom wedding dress?”
Charles was speechless.
Was he that short of money?
“Now that I’m married, do you still have worries? Talking so sparingly?” Charles asked.
Dolores frowned, ‘Doesn’t he even consider his new wife’s feelings to speak with such disregard for the
occasion?’
She couldn’t help but look at Tiana. Tiana didn’t seem different because of Charles’s words. She just
remained calm, opening her big eyes open.
“She…”
Dolores sensed that something was wrong.
Charles tilted his head to look at Tiana and reached out his hand towards her. She squatted down and
obediently put her hand inside his palm, smiling and calling, “Charles.”
“Do you like me?” Charles asked.
Tiana nodded honestly, “Yes.”
“Isn’t she just so naive?” Charles looked at Dolores.
Dolores pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Charles reached out and stroked Tiana’s forehead. She was very well behaved, and she always liked
to crouch by his side when he talked to her, “She is 23 years old, but only has an IQ of 13 years old.
She’s straightforward and has not seen the darkness of the world. She’s the simplest person I have
ever seen.”
Dolores was voiceless.
She didn’t speak for a long time, wondering what Charles was trying to do?
“A cripple with a fool. Isn’t that a good match?” Charles teased himself.
Dolores didn’t find it funny at all and asked in a low voice, “Why did you make such a choice?”
“What’s wrong with it? She’s the jewel of the Meyer family, and very helpful to my career too, but just
too pure. I have seen too much scheming and deceitfulness. With such a simple person lying beside
me, at least I can sleep without fear of someone stabbing me while I am sleeping. How good…”
Before he finished his words, he saw a man coming this way from the crowd. His smile deepened,
“Lola, how about giving me a gift for the sake of my new marriage?”
“What kind of gift?” Dolores was utterly unaware of the approaching figure behind her.
She was just immersed in the shock of Charles and Tiana getting married. She wouldn’t have felt
anything if Tiana was a normal girl, but now…
Charles stared at her belly with undefinable emotions, but he just smiled, “Let me touch your baby. I’m
afraid I won’t have the chance to have a child in my whole life. This may be my only wish.”
Dolores was speechless.
She frowned deeply.
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.” He said as he reached out.
Dolores knew she should refuse him no matter what. But as Charles’s hand covered her stomach, she
didn’t immediately dodge away.
Not sure why she just felt sorry for him. She couldn’t find another word to describe him other than
miserable.
It was like a poor person who had no food asked her for food, and she wouldn’t hesitate to give out
what she had to eat.
“Do you think that if your petty man saw me like this, would he be furious?” Charles said with a smile.
Dolores lowered her head. She would think of those unpleasant photos when thinking of that man. It
was hard to catch her breath as her heart was stuffy.
She didn’t answer Charles’s words but said, “I think I should go back.”
“Alright. I don’t think you need me to send you off.” Charles agreed readily, and the smile on his face
grew deeper.
The more complicated the man behind her looked, the happier Charles was, and the wider his smile
became.
“Why do you say that?” Dolores felt that his smile was unkind.
Charles held Tiana’s hand and looked behind Dolores, smiling without saying anything.
Only then did Dolores notice that there was someone behind her, and she slowly turned
around.
